Thank you so much for your letters and pictures! They are awesome! I want to be there to see Baby Elle so bad! CONGRATULATIONS!
So Abby never got my letter? What! I sent her one like at least a week ago! I feel like so many things are happening at home right and I can't keep up with all the events that are happening! Slow down!
All right so I have some updates for you guys! My new companion is a super cool guy! The differences between my two companions that I have had are night and day. Elder Kennard was super obedient ... a little overboard... but now Elder Ludlow is completely opposite. Yeah, our apartment is a little off the hook now and it's been a super crazy week. It's Brady/ Ludlow and Jackson /Salisbury. Jackson is the District leader. So basically, there is no structure any more and it's kind of scary.
President Martin had a talk with me and wants me to be a leader without a title, so that's what I have been working on... keeping everyone somewhat on task, not going downhill and keeping everyone focused on why we are out here. Everyone always comes over to our pad because it is "the coolest." But it has been getting out of control this last week and kind of annoying. So this is what I am going to be doing, trying to keep the work going and motivating others to work, and you know me, I don't like to pry into other people's space so I am going to try to lead by example and focusing on the work.
We are like the Fantastic Four. We get along so well and all love each other, unlike in the past... yeah. It's hard to go to bed on time because of the fun we have but I am going to try my hardest to keep them focused even though I am the youngest one in here. So this is my mission lately.
Now as for Ludlow, it is way funny when we go to members houses because of course they already know him! They say, "Hey look it's old school with new school!" (Aka. Ludlow and me) Pretty much everyone we are teaching is new and Ludlow doesn't know them but we figured he came back here for a reason, so we stopped by some of the people that he used to visit and we got back with a person he used to teach before Kennard and now we are meeting with her everyday! We have a lot of investigators around here now with many more to come, I can feel it. As long as we get out there and stay focused which will be interesting. I know I am going to learn a lot this transfer and from Ludlow, and I’m thinking "someone" might be wanting me to work on my leadership skills... Being in the "super busy" El Dorado ward, with all this work going on, in this situation, only having a couple months of experience under my belt, being senior companion, in an apostate apartment, with an unmotivated to do missionary work companion and district leader, = pressure off the wahzoo. And I say....BRING. IT. ON.
I love you guys so much and I am so glad everything went well with Baby Elle and Abby is okay from passing out. You guys are the best family ever!
Sorry if I said too much about nothing... I haven't written in my journal this week and it all kind of came out in this letter to you guys... ha-ha well I have to go now but if you have any questions that I haven't answered or want me to answer please write them in BOLD LETTERS so I can remember and see quickly. I wish I had more time but I have like a half hour once a week to read the letters and hurry and write something back.
Have a good Thanksgiving! Don't die at black Friday!
Love, Elder Brady
