I'm Getting Transfered, 15 Companions and 10 areas!

Hello Everyone!

Hope you had a great week!

So I am getting transferred Again. For the Last Time...In Idaho

15 Companions. 10 Areas. I will be training a missionary for 6 weeks in American Falls.

Well I know the time will go fast this last 6 weeks and I want to do my best to remember everything that I have learned. This week something that stuck out to me was the importance of remembering the tender mercies the Lord blesses us with. Elder Eyring gave a great talk on that!

Everything just seems to blend together now. The days, what we do, who we see. SO looking back on the day and seeing the miracles that happened helps me be more grateful. 

Cool story about the Jones.

We went to visit the Rowes. We were told they were not interested in talking to us but thought we'd go anyway. We talked to Brother Rowe who is a member of the Church but has not been for years. He told us that in the last few weeks he has been having feelings and thoughts about going back to church. First off, that was a lesson that you cannot give up on people. WE never know when they will change. We talked about the Book of Mormon and the role it plays in helping our families be together forever. He agreed to have us back and to meet his family. As we walked away, heading back to our car, we decided to keep going not sure why and ended up stopping to talk to an older couple. They were the Jones members of the ward we had not met before. Brother Jones suffers from Dementia and cannot be left alone and his wife has been very stressed with all that is going on. She needed 20 minutes to go run an errand she really need to get done. So she asked if we could talk to her husband while she left. We agreed. For 20 minutes  Brother Jones told us about his life. He had some pretty cool stories to tell. Sister Jones comes back and she is a little teary eyed. She told us that just an hour earlier she really needed help and prayed that God would send someone her way to help her. Then we showed up! It is pretty cool when God lets you know that you were someone's answer to prayer. WE are all important to God and he has in store a wonderful magnificence personal plan for each of us. 

I hope you have a great week

Love,

Elder Rush
