Last week my family made the 16 HOUR DRIVE (yes, I thought I was going to die) to Texas to attend the annual Bushman Reunion. It is always so good to see all of the family. We do what one would expect at a family reunion - visit, play games, enjoy late nights and eat, A LOT. The theme this year was Missionary work. How appropriate! We all were given a "mission call" before arriving and asked to prepare facts, meals,scriptures, skits and memories (if you had already served a mission). It was fun to hear about my Uncles and Papa's missionary experiences, as well as look at souvenirs/pictures from their missions. All 41 of us attended Sacrament together and got to hear from my Nana and Papa before leaving on their mission to Martins Cove. I am very grateful for their examples and testimonies. They both carry the spirit with them where ever they go. The older cousins sang a medley of Sisters in Zion and Army of Helaman in sacrament. The spirit during that song consumed me. It was so powerful to sing what I believe with people I love. I miss all my family already and will always remember this reunion.
This has to be one of my favorite videos yet! I have the CUTEST family.
