Today was my first P-day in the Bronx! Started out by taking a bus ride to Aldi, a super cheap grocery store (because everything is outrageous here) and carrying all of my stuff back to the apartment. Then, we went into Manhattan for the day. We went to the Museum of Natural History, which was kinda cool, and went by the temple in Manhattan, and that was about it. Then we headed back and ended the night trying to find some people. Elder Lindberg is very new to the mission and it kind of feels like training all over again. He’s from small town Utah. For example, as we are here in the Bronx, he (after much pressure from his companion) decided he was going to try and talk to someone on the street. Here was his phrase, “Excuse me, sir, could I please ask you a question? Have you thought about Jesus Christ today?”........May not sound that bad. But remember BRONX. It was a huge black guy. What was the result? Well, he didn’t pass out the card haha.

We had zone conference today and it was really awesome. I learned a lot of really really cool things. Like: Always remember and apply “Good, Better, Best” especially with making goals and plans. If you knew that any goal you set, you could achieve...what would your goals be? (Now remember that with God, all things are possible) Goal setting is an act of faith. Showing that you believe that God can and will help you accomplish it Only think about the Do’s. (For example: if your goal is to eat healthy, don't think “don't eat cookies, don't eat cookies” think instead, “okay I can eat salad and chicken and fruits and apples!) Become comfortable with being uncomfortable, especially in missionary work. If you're comfortable, you can probably work harder.

Hey everyone! This week has been a spiritual strengthening one for sure.  On Sunday I got to sing with the MTC Choir as backup for the Nashville Tribute Band.  They sing gospel songs, like LDS gospel, and they're super country.  But their message is one that relates to any religion so y'all should look them up and listen to some!   The spiritual strengthening part of my week goes as thus: I've started holding myself accountable to Heavenly Father.  Like at the beginning of each day, in my prayers I'll tell Him my goals for the day,  like "study _____ in my language. Get ____ memorized.  Plan ____ lesson" things like that.  And then at the end of the day, I'll tell Him how I did.  Let me tell you, that's intimidating!  He certainly knows when you aren't living up to your potential.  It's only scary because I can hear Him tell me I didn't do well, and where and how I can do better, when I ask.  But when I do all that I can

Today I was on a split with Elder Nielson! I learned a lot from him today and it was really great. I learned about street contacting and the how-to's of that. I learned a lot about being bold and more confident. I've made goals now to improve my studies. As well as my memory. I feel that if I can have spiritual experiences every morning during personal and companionship study, I will be so much more spiritually prepared to take on the day and receive promptings throughout. And a better memory just because it would help.
