FAMILY!
So right now me and Elder Norton are sitting in class waiting for everyone (the rest of our district) to come back from getting their immunizations cards signed off. Elder Norton and I are on the ball today and really getting in the groove of things. We have learned some amazing concepts and lessons such as when being a missionary, the message you are giving is ALWAYS the same, it's all about how you present it that really matters most. So just cool stuff like that.
There are a lot of rumors going around right now that the entire Presidency is here this week and everyone keeps saying "Have you seen President Monson yet?" Elder Norton and I have yet to see anyone from the Presidency or apostles from the quorum of the twelve.
(This is 5 hours later)
So right now I just finished getting ready for bed and I have 10 minutes of free time to write, I have been trying to write in all the free time I have, but there is only one problem, there is no free time... until P-day at least, which is Wednesday. So I have a while until I can write a legit letter. But for the mean time, Elder Norton and I are having a great time in here, we really have a radiance among us. Everyone else has been like "today is forever long!" Elder Norton and I looked at eachother and couldn't believe we were at dinner already. It's been going really fast so far. Elder Norton and my personalities are great together. Oh! I saw Elder Ziser, Elder Lowry, Elder Shipman, Elder Mecham, Elder Egbert (who I played B-ball with, is in my zone and we play ball together still!) Elder Cutler, Elder Chase Lindsly (played baseball with him on Ken Doyles team)... oh sorry, lights out now, I will finish tomorrow!
Well now it's six in the morning and so far waking up has not even been bad at all. There are so many Elders up showering, walking the halls, and just getting ready for the day. It's not hard at all when you see 3,000 other missionaries doing the same thing. Elder Norton and I have decided we will "go and do, not sit and stew!" Which is what some are doing...
In my room is Elder Norton, from South Jordan, Elder Gallup, from Cananda (he is really funny and always has the biggest smile on his face while saying "eh" after every sentence), Elder Mcgaughy, from Tennessee. He is such a great worker and very dedicated. He talkes like a cowboy and says "ya'll" and stuff like that. Our room is the BOMB! I know we will have alot of fun while we are here.
Emails are pretty hard to stay connected through because of time and trying to get a free computer in the lab. I will try to get in there on my p-day which is still yet to come.

I am just sitting here with the other 3,000 missionaries in the autotorium waiting to go to lunch. We just finished listening to a fireside/devotional where David A. Bednar just talked to us for an hour! I love it here, the spirit is always so strong in the MTC and everyone is so friendly.
We played kickball today out on the field where you dropped me off. It was our district verses another district. It is hilarious! It's a good environment! Elders yelling "come on Relief Society" when someone takes too long (no offense mom) ha ha. But it is a good time and our district is awesome.
The MTC is awesome! Really the only place where you can feel the spirit 24/7. I will send this letter off/or this compositions of thoughts I've compiled the last couple of days. Thank you and love you guys!
Love, Elder Brady
Elder Brady's Motto
"I have desired that while serving a mission that I am to do God's will, not mine. If it is the will of God that I should spend my days proclaiming this Gospel and bearing testimony of these things, I shall think of myself highly privileged and honored. When the spirit of God is upon me, I think it matters very little what I suffer, and what I sacrificed - whether I secure the honor or dishonor of men, or where I die, if it so be that I can keep the faith, fight the good fight, and finish my course with joy, I have all eternity before me in which to enjoy myself."
