A Hopeful Future with Unfortunate Bus Rides.

  Well this was a week of a lot of traveling and meetings. That includes many stories that are both great and could have been better. We watched the missionary broadcast this last Wednesday and it was great. One of the many points I gained from it was that we forget that the gospel of Jesus Christ is one thing. Faith, repentance, baptism, gift of the Holy Ghost, and enduring to the end. I'm not sure how to write out how I feel about it but yes, it is one. We must have a foundation on the savior to bring any of these things to pass. It's all centered in the figure that we consider to be the great teacher and Savior of the world who is Jesus Christ. If we desire to be one in heart, might, and mind with God we must place his teachings above all worldly things.

    In terms of teaching we've been helping members have desires to share the gospel this week. There's been a small amount of success within it. There's a member that has asked us for a Book of Mormon in Portuguese that she give to a friend who's going through a rough time. And another member has become friends with a less active who hasn’t been in contact with the church for several years. We are very excited for what is to come within the next couple of weeks.

    And a bus ride we had coming back from a meeting on Saturday was interesting. First a man who was a bit tipsy was on the bus with us. He began talking at us and blocking the aisle for others to get on. In short, he was mumbling nonstop for the space of 30 minutes. When he got off everyone was super relieved. We then ran into a crash on the highway and because of that we missed our next bus. We got home at 11:30 at night 😫.

 

That's all this week

Love you Elder Broadbent.
