  Lets goooooo everybody its elder bush! Made it through another week!  New York has been super fun, but also missionary work here is very hard  This week i got the amazing chance to sit in a lesson with the Spanish elders, and it was a privilege for sure They brought me because they were going to teach 4 Honduran woman and they wanted another elder there present because they were scared haha  This was a crazy experience and let me tell you i have never listened to a lesson so closely in my life. I still understood nothing, but i really wanted to! Many times everyone would look at me and laugh hahaha The elder next to me told me that they were all just curious if i could tell what they were saying, but... i have no idea if he was telling the truth  Being sent Spanish speaking would be so cool, and it would be very nice if i could have the excuse that the reason i was bad at teaching was because i didn't know the language yet. Unfortunately i do kinda know Englis...

  Hola everyone its elder bush lets gooooooo I survived another week yessirrrr  A bunch of crazy stuff happed this week but i cant really remember any of it so you will just have to trust me that alot of super cool things happened  One thing that i recall, is that ive been working pretty closely with another elder that is Spanish speaking, and now i can invite random people on the street to come visit the church on sunday! That is the extent of my Spanish so far tho, because after they respond i dont know what they say   We have also been going to the delis alot this week! I never really knew what a deli was before coming out here. But trust me i know what they are now. Maybe one of the best things ever created. Its pretty much a sandwich shop with a bunch of snacks in it and it also feels like a gas station but it also has everything you need to survive for the next 40 years Store/restaurant/gas station in one. And so i really do feel like spiderman over here i...

  Hello everyone from elder bush! This week has been a super week Dont misunderstand me, queens is still super crazy and its still hard to adjust to the way missionary work is done here but i am trying to only have my focus be on the super awesome stuff From the words of a really smart and wise missionary: "Just enjoy your mission, and everything will be well!" To start the week off right we had a super fun pday and i played vollyball  I love volleyball so that was one of my favorite parts of this past week  Our district was pretty bad but we had some standout players Some of these players included the other greenie in the district, our district leader and one of our zone leaders. All super cool missionaries. The rest of the excitement from this week was a little but of drama that includes things that went down during the last transfer of this area If you know me then you know that i love hearing about drama/tea but sadly the missionaries in my district suspect that ...

  Yooooo everybody its my first email from the field lets goooooooooooooo Yes Elder Bush do be in New York and its crazyyyyyyyy It is the most culture shock of culture shocks for me i wont lie. I will say that the way of doing missionary work here is so different than anywhere else lollll I will share all the hard stuff ive been through first and then i will end with the good stuff that ive experienced  The first couple days here are a shock and dont you worry im still kinda in shock. As soon as we got out of the airport i was told to invite everyone i see to church this sunday and if you know me at all, im not much of a super forward person. So this was very hard for me, like i was thrust into a wack city and now i have to talk to everyone i see and invite them to a church i didn't even know the address to :/ Rough first day. But its ok, i know that the lord has called me here to do his work even if i dont know what im doing i will go and do anyway  Other things that hav...
