F. Enzio Bushe
see book, Yearning For the Living God, by F. Enzio Bushe
Exerpts from talk given February 4, 2011, at East Bennion Stake Center, Taylorsville, Utah.
When Elder Bushe was taught the gospel in Germany he told the elders who taught him that he would be baptized only if he never had to talk in church or hold any position. Only three weeks later he was asked to talk. He went back to the elder and asked, What about your promise?” He was told he should get on his knees and pray about it. As a result he was told he had gifts he didn't know about. When he talked he had no notes and does not believe in notes to this day. He got up to talk and a strong feeling of love spread from his head all the way to his feet. He talked what was in his heart and then sat down. The branch president then got up and announced the closing song and prayer. Elder Bushe had talked for an hour and a half and the other speakers did not get a chance that day.
It's what we learn that counts. Life is a learning process. We must learn we are children of a loving father. We must learn what that really means not just what the Primary song tells us. It's the soft, silent voice in the soul with an uncomfortable message. We can't do all that is in us by being comfortable. We can't say no to the promptings without deminishing ourselves.
The Lord can't take away the consequences but He also can't take away His love. Knowing we are His children is never routine knowledge. It gives us enthusiasm. We can open our life and become what He knows we can be.
At the time of Joseph Smith the universe was thought to be much smaller—maybe 80,000 stars. We now know that there are uncounted billions of stars with new systems being found almost daily. We are a part of giant universe. He is our teacher. Yet, we tend to think we can “do it by ourself.”
Moroni 7:9. And likewise also is it counted evil unto a man, if he shall pray and not with areal intent of heart; yea, and it profiteth him nothing, for God receiveth none such.
James 4:2-3 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
Exercise agency but use agency wisely.
Matthew 7: 7-11 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
He loves us and wishes the best for us. The good thing He can give may be which direction to turn in each decision we make. We decide to live a life of fear or a life of love.
Moroni 8:16 Wo be unto them that shall pervert the ways of the Lord after this manner, for they shall perish except they repent. Behold, I speak with boldness, having authority from God; and I fear not what man can do; for perfect love casteth out all fear.
We can ask to have our soul filled with love. We want to be filled with love from the head down.
Use the kind of faith talked about in Matthew 17, be able to cast out devils. Have faith as a grain of mustard seed...and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Elder Bushe was asked to help a young missionary with an evil spirit. He was unsure and didn't know what to do but he knelt and prayed. Again, he was filled with the strong sense of love “from the head down to his feet” and he hugged the young man. Immediately the missionary relaxed and was freed. We need to ask to be filled with love because Love controls all. It casts away fear. Be committed. Move in the direction of His Love. All the pain in life comes from fear. Joy comes from love.
When we love God we have no need of fear. God will always guide us in the direction we need to develop the qualities that we need the most.

The Beginning of February
Today was a hard day. The stake president of the stake we've been with the longest is being released next week and he has been one of the best stake presidents we have ever known. We have become very attached. We learned today that he is also moving to San Diego so that makes it doubly hard. Then on top of that we have Sister Johnson leaving this week so our hearts are quite shredded today.
However, all was not sadness. We got a phone call from a man we have taught most of our mission. He was in sad shape when we met him—recovering alcoholic, in a back brace, and very poor health. He is now going to the temple to be endowed the first part of March and is being sealed to his wife. He doesn't even look like the same man we first started to teach. We saw him ordained an elder last fall.
We attended a stake fireside last Friday night where the speaker was F. Enzio Busche. He gave many instructions we will use in our teaching. He maintains that love and fear cannot exist together. Therefore, if we approach people with love we can help them overcome their fear of returning to the church. We have seen many people who admit they need to return but just can't overcome the inertia that binds them. They are afraid. If we can bring the Love of God to them, they can release their fears.
Moving the Sisters Johnson and Latu wasn't a problem with our truck. In fact, even though it was from one stake to another, it was within walking distance (if you don't count the very steep, long hill). The new place will be very good and the couple are wonderful who live there.
Sunday we met with a couple, the Oswalds, in the new stake who want to help us. They prayed when they were looking for an apartment, that they would find a place where they could do missionary work. They are both returned missionaries and wanted to continue to serve. They have two cute, small boys. We spent about an hour with them and discussed several families in the apartment complex. We are going with the wife tomorrow to call on a few people.
We attended a ward correlation meeting today and talked about the mission process. They promised to have some contacts for us soon. We know this is a wonderful stake. We are told that often. We just feel there is much to do and our time is growing too short. We are trying to be patient but we wish the wards would hurry a little. We have volunteered to speak in sacrament meetings but have had no takers yet. At least at the stake correlation meeting Thursday there were a couple of ward mission leaders that supported the idea of meeting more often together to correlate rather than us going to each of their homes one at a time to meet with them. So far the stake meeting has just been a time for someone to stand up in front and talk about missionary work but with no talking among the ward mission leaders. They don't see much value in attending when the only time they can talk to missionaries is if they can quickly catch them after the meeting.
It's interesting how things work in different stakes. We have now been in four different stakes but this is the first time we have encountered a stake that doesn't value missionary work or at least doesn't value it in stake correlation meetings. Missionary work can't be a once a month effort.

Scarlet Winter
A red-shafted flicker lights on the upper branch
of the apple tree over by the fence.
He fervently searches in all directions
before flying to the next branch,
nervously searches, flies to the next,
until he reaches the bird feeder
with its suet cake. I watch as he pecks,
searches, pecks. His horizontal brown black
stripes emphasizes his size. He is fluffed
against the cold, gray sky.
Finally he turns his black eye my way,
the red on his head bright
against all the brown-gray of the day.
Indifferent he stares me down
before flying out of sight.
I feel as desolate as the day
with his abandonment.

Today is winter
January 3
The wan, winter sun
lowers itself heavily towards
the western hills long
before eventime. A dove
hunches in the apple tree
blending in color with
the bare, bent limbs.
Snow clings to fence
and tree, impervious to
sunlight through winter haze.
Chickadees and finches
flit from branch to feeder
to roof top to branch
in endless motion. Is it
warmth in movement
or fear of frost that makes
them twitch and swoop?
Glistening white peaks
stab the ice-blue sky.

And So It Continues
It's amazing what touch can do.
As the therapist works to ease
muscles warped by stress and pain
I am assailed by smells
of hot desert sand
juniper
and sagebrush
even though that sense has been lost
over forty years now.
It's amazing what sound will do
when the chords of a hymn
release warm memory
of star-filled sky when we sang
an exuberant anthem
of universal glory.
Song remembered over millennia of time
by hearts that hear.

Christmas
It's nice to have Christmas in the winter even though the birth was in the spring. We need something to celebrate in the dark time of the year and what could be better than to celebrate the Prince of Light?
In 1992 the Tabernacle Choir went to Israel. We left the morning of the 26th and were there until January 6 of 1993. Israel is an interesting place on many levels. We were making a video so we traveled to several spots but one very revealing spot was Shepherd's Field. We were taken to a place not usually visited by tourists so that we could film without spectators. I had always imagined the place as rolling green hills, a few trees, a peaceful place. Instead was steep, craggy, rocky hills with very little grass and only twisted, stunted trees.
Not the place familiar to imagination but when we stepped off the buses we all knew, without exception, we had been there before. Indeed, all mankind was there. We were the multitudes. When the choir sand that December day, the hills echoed all around and was heard up and down the valley.
With something as spectacular as angel song, why weren't more people aware? Simply because they weren't looking. Remember, there hadn't been any prophets for a long time. No one was reminding people of the signs of the Messiah's birth. Although, I'm sure there were a few sincere people, most were just looking at day to day life.
On this continent the prophets were telling of the wonders. Samuel was giving bulletins right up to the time of the birth. There were a lot of people in the know. Even those who were denying woke up to facts when the signs began. Nothing like losing a night and having a strange bright star to catch your attention if you're even slightly aware.
Yet, the star was also seen in Palestine. Why weren't they aware? And, are we aware today of the signs being given. You see, if people aren't looking spiritual signs, anything can be explained. And indeed, God does work by natural laws so I'm sure there are scientific explanations for today's signs. But, that does not make them any less valid.
The fact is, that a child was born. Not in a gentle environment where cleanliness prevailed and the mother was attended. But in a shelter where animals lived. A child grew. Not in a spacious home. Not even as nice a home as a very small home of today. But still, a home where he was taught and loved. It was a very poor family as evidenced by the custom of presenting the first born in the temple and giving a lamb as the passover sacrifice and a dove to signify peace. If the family was very, very poor, they could give two doves instead of a lamb. It's significant that Mary and Joseph did this. They were poor, alone, and unpopular. Jesus was always the lowest of the low. We are told that He descended below all. His whole life was like that.
He did all this willingly in love. Yet even today, people reject Him. DC 88:33.
When people reject the gift they are rejecting the very one who can give them life. They are rejecting once more the babe. Luke 1:7 says it was not just that there was no room in the inn but it says there was no room for them in the inn. They were rejected even at the time of the birth of our Lord.
When you have a very bad day, as we all do at times, remember, his days were always full of rejection and disappointment. He couldn't even be homesick – he had no home. He could have given up. He had the power. He never gave up. We must not give up. When we focus on the things that go wrong in our lives we are actually directing ourselves toward that goal. What we think determines what we do. So many of our mistakes are because of our own skewed perspective. We keep making mistakes, not because God wants us to be miserable but because we are directing our thinking to that result. We must program our minds to follow in His steps. we need to accept responsibility for whatever is going on in our life. If our experiences are based on thoughts and emotions we have chosen in the past, then we are responsible for our thoughts in the present. You are the one who thinks your thoughts. Your thoughts do not think you. Our Father gave us Choice and Accountability. It is up to us to fill our thoughts with the positive. His time on Earth was spent looking forward at eternity. We must focus the same way.
Our perception of something going wrong is just that, a perception, and that is all. It may be a misguided perception based on a lack of understanding or on false beliefs. In the bigger scheme of things, in God's perspective, Nothing EVER goes “wrong”. God does not make mistakes. He is not “out to get someone.” He does not have it in for anyone because they are bad. His creation is perfect and the goal of His creation never wavers. It is, has been, and always will be perfect, precise, and unfailing ALL the time. It is only when our wrong perceptions stir up emotions that attract circumstances that you perceive life as “going wrong.”
It is important that you express and recognize gratitude for the fact that everything in your life is a miracle and you are part of the creation of your life.
My perception of any event or circumstance is based on a memory of something in the past that I've stored subconsciously and that can be consciously changed if it is not in harmony with what I wish to accomplish.
A child was born. We can live in eternal joy if we really desire.

This is the time of year when we are expected, almost commanded to be thankful. And we wish we could feel excited and full of gratitude 24/7. However, there are times we just have a hard time feeling it. Maybe we've been let down by someone we thought was there for us. Maybe the world gets in the way and financial problems overwhelm us. Maybe the physical just isn't what we expect. Maybe we feel alone in a crowd. Or maybe we are just so stressed and so completely tired we have trouble feeling anything at all.
I don't know about you, but I've been in all those places. Yes, even on our mission where one could expect maybe a little more “help”, I've felt deflated and lost and very, very tired.
Yet we are told, 'Thou shalt thank the Lord thy God in all things' (D&C 59:7). All things means just that: good things, difficult things--not just some things. He has commanded us to be grateful because He knows being grateful will make us happy.
When you are in a sincere state of gratitude your energy is one of acceptance and harmony. Expressing Gratitude for any situation draws you to more of what you are expressing gratitude for.Any time we are not expressing gratitude we are in essence, focusing on NOT WANTING that outcome. Whenever we do that, we naturally move towards what we are focused on.
Athletes practice mentally, actors envision their role, what we think becomes what we do. Why then, don't we preprogram our minds for success?
You are the one who thinks your thoughts. Your thoughts do not think you. Our Father gave us Choice and Accountability. It is up to us to fill our thoughts with the positive.

It is important that you express and recognize gratitude for the fact that everything in your life is a miracle and you are part of the creation of your life. Perception becomes personal "fact" and may be quite different from actual fact. We have the ability to change our perceptions and aline our facts to be more what we need them to be. If we look as a day "lost and horrible" because we have some disappointment in our plans it is only our perspective that is off.
Obviously your perception that everything is wrong and the whole day lost is not right. However, based on your thought pattern and perception, the day is lost. Unless you are able to change that perception, you will have a horrible day. In fact, if you remain in this state, you will literally attract additional events, conditions and circumstances to you that will make certain that you have a horrible day. You may even pick a fight with the next person who has the audacity to speak to you. This is a classic case of ungratefulness. No silver lining.
God loves each of us unconditionally exactly the same and only gives us what we are asking for based on our frame of mind. The scriptures say, “As you sow, so shall you reap.” That applies to daily life. By learning to control our emotions and show gratitude every, single day we attract situations where gratitude is more easily felt. We can't control everything that is going on around us in our world but we can control our mind and our perceptions. We control how we react to the things that happen.
As Gordon B. Hinckley said in August of 1982, “Our society is afflicted by a spirit of thoughtless arrogance unbecoming those who have been so magnificently blessed. How grateful we should be for the bounties we enjoy. Absence of gratitude is the mark of the narrow, uneducated mind. It bespeaks a lack of knowledge and the ignorance of self-sufficiency. It expresses itself in ugly egotism.”
Make this holiday season what God would want it to be. Look for the blessings in each day. Aline your thinking with that of the Father who loves us all and to whom we dedicate this time of year.
