Hello Family! I'm glad you got the pictures okay! I have already taken some more cool ones that I can't wait to show you. Thank you for the packages as well! Looking forward to receiving them this week! That picture of Dad with Logan and Elle was priceless. Very cute! Sorry that you are feeling so sick Kristin, but it will be WELL worth it :) Mom, I am so glad you met Grandma Kabel! She is so awesome! I love her. Ha-ha I heard that she was having some trouble getting in contact with you and was trying to call me but we were in the middle of a teaching appointment and couldn't answer but I'm glad it all worked out!
Let's see what else is new this week? We found another sweet investigator this week that really solid. His name is Tavares Andrews. Black dude with crazy dread locks and way cool. We gave him a book of Mormon last Tuesday and came back and visited him on Thursday and he was already on the book of Enos! Holy Cow! Nobody does that out here... He's awesome. He told us to come back next week and he should have the book finished by then and then we can really start talking and teaching the discussions. We're pretty excited about that. Most of our investigators are not keeping their commitments that we give them; therefore, they are not progressing very well. We have had about 7 baptismal dates but we are trying a new strategy now. So we dropped all of the dates and are now telling our investigators that if they want to progress towards baptism then they need to come to church first, and then we'll start talking. We don't know what else to do so we are trying this strategy? We'll see if it helps!
The Susan dilemma is getting better... We have not had much contact with her, but she knows that we are here for her if she needs it. We cannot be her savior but we can bring her unto Him. That is our job, to teach them the way. (Whether they are willing to accept the message or not is up to them.) This is when the thought hit me, Christ brings souls unto the Father, and we bring souls unto Christ.
We have had a lot of success this week and things are looking more up than they were last week. Thank you for tender mercies from the Lord. We had a lot of great lessons where afterwards, we KNEW that it was the spirit telling us what to say because they were amazing. We just need to listen to the spirit and we will be guided to those people in need and directed what to say to them. This is the Lord's work and are only the instruments in his hands. So we need to try our best to stay in tune with the spirit so we can accomplish his work.
Well we arranged some of the ward members from El Dorado to come play basketball up here at the church and they all now just arriving. So I'm going to go school some guys and show them what's up. Love you all and I am glad to hear everything is going so well at home. Until next week
Love, Elder Brady
