Good day everyone
New york is weird.
The work has been moving along
People have been coming to church
And we have been working super hard in this area
Something that has been really helping me out recently has been changing my mindset from
"i still have to be in new york for 18 more months" ...to "i only have 18 more months to help these people here"
It seems like that is kind of an obvious thing to change.. but its definitely something ive been working on and still need to improve on
Not having to most successful start of my mission pushes me to try and work hard because i really want to make a difference and i limited time left here.
Here are some awesome quotes from a talk i just discovered
"Why should I speak to anyone about the gospel who seems content? What danger is there to them or to me if I do or say nothing?
Well, the danger may be hard to see, but it is real, both for them and for us. For instance, at some moment in the world to come, everyone you will ever meet will know what you know now. They will know that the only way to live forever in association with our families and in the presence of our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, was to choose to enter into the gate by baptism at the hands of those with authority from God. They will know that the only way families can be together forever is to accept and keep sacred covenants offered in the temples of God on this earth. And they will know that you knew. And they will remember whether you offered them what someone had offered you."
"Now, I don’t know how the crowds will be handled in the world to come. But I suppose that I will meet him, that he will look into my eyes, and that I will see in them the question, 'Hal (or elder bush), you knew. Why didn’t you tell me?'"
Thoughts like these make me want to stay out.
Reading this made me want to go out on the streets again even though i had just been rejected.
I add my voice along side with Elder Hollands when he said
"I want it absolutely clear when I stand before the judgment bar of God that I declared to the world, in the most straightforward language I could summon, that the Book of Mormon is true..."
I didn't expect this email to go in this direction but i hope that i got my message across to someone
I love jesus christ, I love and miss you all.
Elder Bush
