Elder Mitchell Rush: Happy Birthday Elder Rush

Hello!
This last week was crazy busy!
Monday we had the chance to play broom hockey but I actually used a
crutch. Elder Earley, one of our district leaders, had surgery on his
knee and he is 6'10" so his crutches were too tall for me. That was a
weird first experience. We have been going door to door trying to find
people to teach. As most people know, tracting is not very effective.
Everyone we have met is not interested at this time but we did meet
this one guy named John. He is a sports hypnotist. He travels the
world helping people overcome their fears, especially gymnasts. He
talked to us a lot about the brain and how it works. I was quite
fascinated.
This week's missionary work was pretty similar everyday. We have spend
most of our time tracting because our investigators are either moving
or do not want to learn anymore.
The administrative side of things was a little more exciting. We had
interviews with President Brinkerhoff on Thursday. Wednesday night the
assistants to the president called us and told us we had to hold zone
training on May 1 instead of May 8 so we did not get much sleep since
we had 1 day to prepare it. It was awesome anyways.
We are slowly transitioning from the Taylor Mountain Stake to the
Idaho Falls Central Stake. It is sad having to say good bye to people.
It will be really exciting serving in the Central Stake!

Lately I have been pondering about how I can more fully serve God and
those around me. I came across this scripture.
JAMES 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.I have come to realized that as we become like Christ, develop similar
attributes, miracles in our lives increase. What better humble example
do we have to follow then Christ. I plead that we all can strive to be
more Christ-like and come unto Him so that He may heal us!
I love you all!
Take care.
