Haha subject line explanation: a lot of people that live in the city are not from the city but when you ask them where they are from and they are from the Bronx 80 percent of the people from the Bronx say they are from the boogie down Bronx its pretty funny.
So! This week was fairly good! Besides the temperatures that felt like -15 it was actually super good! We have been calling people in our area book and have set up a lot of appointments! We met with this one man named brother Adrian this week! He is really cool! Committed to baptism and we are meeting with his whole family this week! There are six of them! I love this work 😊 he originally met missionaries in Ghana and has had a copy of the book of Mormon for a little over 6 years now. And now we are teaching him. I love gods timing. It works out so perfectly. Couple cool things I've found as a companion if you voice your spiritual promptings you are 100 percent more likely to follow them because duh who wouldn't want to follow a prompting given by God. By yourself sometimes it's hard because you're scared but with both of you BAM! Mission accomplished. So that happened a few times this week. Where I got a prompting and told elder Horner and we set like 2 return appointments because of that. Then another time elder Horner didn't voice his prompting but I saw it and asked him if he got a prompting and he said maybe and he went and knocked on this door and we met Larry! He's pretty cool and is interested in the message of the restored gospel! God is so involved in this great work. I have been memorizing scripture references along with a phrase everyday for the past 10 days. I love it. It comes in so handy in lessons!!! The spirit will bring them to my mind and teaching with the scriptures makes everything better. It's nice to have variety too! That is my week in a nutshell. I love talking to random people on the bus and subway some people are so awkward about it! We have some good conversations there though. It's exhilarating! President told me I would be training again before my mission ends! I'm super excited. I love you all! Elder Murray
