Meet Elder and Sister Bush

Elder Robert and Sister Raylene Bush were recruited by caring WIM missionaries for service in the West Indies Mission. Thanks to Elder and Sister Harris who planted the seed of service in the West Indies and to this exceptional couple who followed the promptings of the Spirit to act on this invitation.

Though both are native Utahns, they have lived 22 years in the nation’s Bible Belt, rearing their family of 7 children in Warner Robins, Georgia (grandchildren now number 23 with one more due in August) where Elder Bush was the Chief of the Multimedia Services Division, Headquarters, Air Force Reserve Command. While rearing her large family, Sister Bush was employed in the Human Resources office of the local hospital doing payroll and “other duties as assigned.” In their church service, the Bush’s served in numerous leadership roles, including Elder Bush’s duties as a Bishop. Together, they served two years as their stake’s Employment Resource Advisors.

In their service in the West Indies Mission, the Bush’s will spend their time serving the saints on the Caribbean island of Grenada, where they will provide shadow leadership, fellowship to reactivate and strengthen new members, organize at least one annual temple trip and 1-2 humanitarian service projects on the island while also acting as an extension of the mission office and, as all other senior missionaries before them, performing “other duties as assigned.”
