  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 ...

  Hey everyone i am finishing my second transfer this week! That means i will be out of training... i still feel like i just got here And im still struggling to get a grasp of the basics of this work im supposed to do. That doesn't mean i haven't been trying my hardest. Trust me ive been putting my all into learning how to improve, im starting to think maybe im over thinking everything and should remember that if i try my best to be diligent God will help complete the rest I feel like im being stretched  That is good  Because i dont want to stay the same  Even though its hard. Anyways we are teaching some super cool people!  There is this guy that we met last week and he is so cool  Andrew is such an awesome person, he works for the Yankees! And he wants us to come to a game with him, but sadly we have to keep telling him we cant while we are missionaries here He is a little older but super humble! He even came to church and loved it  He does have alot...

  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 ...

  Lets gooooo everybody its elda bush!! This will just be a short email to tell yall that im still alive and doing pretty good   Even though im doing ok out here it is still very rough and hard, i think i am not that smart because im still learning how to do this thing called missionary work. I have much work to do and room to grow  We got some crazy news that our zone conference this week is going to have so many missionaries there! Our zone conference will be combined with 4 zones! There is probably going to be some pictures next week with some past friends! so thats exciting https://photos.app.goo.gl/ sLSPmjCSafi2kN9N7 Many stories and pictures from this past week but i can't fit them all in this short email so just know its very busy out here in Brooklyn! I have also a small spiritual thought! Because it was holy week last week it was a great reminder that HE IS RISEN! I hope you all had a great easter and a wonderful week! Miss you all  Elder Bush

  Hello! Its elder bush baby  I got transferred to Brooklyn this week!  After i sent the email last week i got the call that i would be leaving Jamaica queens to go finish my training somewhere else! So crazy Im not gonna lie i miss jamaica and the missionaries over there, i am in a way smaller district now so its not as much crazy Fun things that happened this week  I pranked one of the other missionaries in the Jamaica district before leaving queens, its smart because idk if he will ever be able to get me back because i left  Video will be on my google photos Hopefully its PG... Also idk if you can tell during the video but i wasn't fast enough  and i got tackled by elder sherwood, the syrup clean up was still worth it I was laughing to hard to get away... https://photos.app.goo.gl/ sLSPmjCSafi2kN9N7 Brooklyn is alright so far, some really good pizza over here. Looking forward to eating alot more New comp is actually so good at missionary work its ki...

  Yooo its elder bush! How is everyone? Make sure to send me emails if you haven't  Yes i missed sending an email last week, yes it will probably happened quite a bit. I am surprised that i have missed emails this soon in my mission but it is what it is Its very busy in new york and there is lots of work to be done, so much work that sometimes it even feels like whats the point in starting  I feel like i was pretty unfocused this past week, and maybe thats because it was general conference but there are no excuses, need to lock back in Some fun things that have happend and that i got a new volleyball shipped to me! You already know that has been a saving grace and also a major distraction  We helped a guy move in to the city which we were pretty upset when we found out that he was not even going to live in our area, idk why he asked US to help, but hey doing the lords work. We were not expecting anything in return but this guy was really cool, and he worked for nike ...

  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...
