 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 in queens because i go to the deli almost everyday to get a sandwich. And trust me i dont even have to ask them to squash the sandwich down real flat, they do it everytime anyway!

I have also been reading the Book of Mormon 
all the way through recently and its been so cool 
I was reading in the war chapters yesterday and noticed that Captain Moroni was once again being a beast. Like this guy is different. But i was pondering what set him apart and what made him so essential to the success of these wars?
It could be alot of things, maybe his strategies, or his physical strength and skills, but i took away that it had something to do with his courage.
I realized that i needed to be more like Captain Moroni and just have more confidence in the work that im doing out here. I have been very hesitant when doing pretty much anything out here. Is anything going to get better if i stay like this? Nah.
I need to have courage to just jump in the work and be lead by the spirit not knowing beforehand the things which i should do.
I invite whoever made it this far in the email to do the same, whatever you're dealing with do it like Captain Moroni, do it with no hesitation 

Anyways that the spiritual thought ig

I didn't take alot of pictures but here is the link anyways


Hope you all had a great week 
Miss you all

  Lets gooooooo  Yessir its elder bush back with another super short email  Alot has happened since the last time I emailed so i will try to remember as much as i can... My new companion who i haven't talked much about is so chill, and its very nice to have a comp that is super chill Not that my old comp wasn't, im just very grateful that i haven't gotten a super strict one yet... but i know it will happen soon  My comp (elder tatton) is the district leader so its weird to be what the mission calls a district leader wife He is very good at missionary work  But sometimes this makes me remember of how much more room i have to grow... Im not comparing me to my comp that much, its just that i want to be as good as him one day but i dont know how to do that yet... there are many skills i need to work on! I think it probably just comes with constant effort and alot of time  Anyways its been so good to try to learn from him Hes a dawg Its has been warming up here ...

  I was dreading this day I knew it was coming though  Ive heard the stories of missionaries getting destroyed by birds... sometimes these stories kept me up at night The fateful day final came... I was fulfilling my purpose on the streets one day... and then it happened  A bird choose me as the place where it wanted to release its meal Sorry its been a long time since I sent one of these! Its been a busy transfer so far! Alot of success and a lot of failures  Its been so fun to learn how to take the next steps as a missionary  We have been working with so many cool people! So hopefully we will see some people making covenants soon... New companion elder gurr, is so funny  He knows so much deep doctrine its fun to have late night conversations with him, this also makes him one of the best teachers ive seen  Anyways just wanted to give a little uodate and let yall know im still breathing  https://photos.app.goo.gl/ sLSPmjCSafi2kN9N7 Miss yall ...
