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."

2nd Transfer

Wow! One transfer has already gone by! Crazy stuff. Elder Kennard and I are staying here together. Not too many people are changing except Elder Everitt and Elder Souza are leaving our district.  So we will get a new missionary sometime today in our apartment that will be Elder Emery's new companion. I will miss Elder Everitt. Elders Everitt and Emery are my Godfathers and Elder Kennard is my dad.  We are a great big happy mission family. The Mission relationships and statuses are hilarious…such as when you are born and when you die (when you get to the mission and when you leave).  Our Zone leaders are awesome but unfortunately they are dying... they go home after this transfer.  The Elder's out here are so cool and I know that we will be lifelong friends and it's only the beginning! It's unfathomable... unfathomable.... without fathom. ;)
But yeah I got a bike! It’s so much better than the other one I have been using! It's very light, super smooth, and it's mine! I think I will spray paint it eventually sometime with some flat black along with some Chinese characters on the side or something, you know me. It was the least expensive bike they had at sports chalet but still very nice. I also got a bike lock and helmet. I still need to get some lights for at night. But that Wal-Mart purchase was definitely a necessity... You know, one of my purchases that come around about 5 times a year that is a MUST have. Ha-ha yeah, so, I bought a collection of Stuffed Angry Birds and we play Real Life Angry Birds at nights now! We set up boxes and make hard levels to pass.  It's hilarious. We have gotten very creative out here. (I think it might be better than the electronic version) ha-ha
I am very excited to stay in this area because I know mostly everyone now and have great relationships with a ton of people out here. So it will be awesome to stay around and grow even more and become even closer!
Well we have to go pick up the Elder Emery's new companion and bring him to the most awesome apartment known to mankind!
Love you all!
Love, Elder Brady
