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."

Hilarious Story!

So I wanted to tell you about the best story EVER! This story made me cry the hardest out of all stories that have made me cry.  There are many great stories that have happened here but I have to share this one...

So, we make up a lot of games and this particular games is called "The Sandwich Game."  In the sandwich game, the rules consist of:
  1. Whoever has a sandwich, you must place some kind of object on top of it ONLY if you have already taken a bite. (Objects such as a fry, piece of lettuce, spoon, etc.)
  2. If you haven't taken your first bite or are currently holding the sandwich in your hands, then you are now a victim to getting your sandwich punched... yes, punched!
Ever since this game was introduced everyone has been really cautious... until today!  We were eating lunch together today as a district and out of all the people I remember this game and quickly looked around to find any victims.  Hope filled my eyes as I saw innocent Elder Smyth sitting there enjoying a conversation with a half eated sandwich sitting on his plate free from any objects!  This was it, let the game begin!  I turned to Elder Norton and Elder Estrada and they confirmed that I should do it.  I then immediately stood up and reached across the table and punched the crap out of his sandwich, totally destroying it! Punching it as hard as I could.  Just then, a state of shock glazed the faces of everyone around us.  Then the awesomness of the situation and what had just happened set in and everyone started laughing.  This wasn't even the best part!  While everyone was laughing Elder Smyth reached across and punched Elder Haws' sandwich as he set it down because he was laughing so hard.  This immediately started a chain reaction of punching each others sandwiches while leaving our own sandwiches vulnerable to attack resulting in total chaos! Just as we were in the middle of war an older senior missionary approched us while laughting and said "Elders, Elders, Elders... is this really what you sould be doing?" No one could apologize because we were laughing so hard.  Ahh- good times! I really wish it had been recorded, it was definitely the highlight of the MTC experience so far!

Love you!

Love, Elder Brady
