Hello Family!
I really have very little time today... So I'll see what i can do in ten minutes. Thank you so much for everything you guys send to me. I love reading your letters! To answer a couple of questions:
The weather is beautiful. Probably around 70 and then gets cold at nights but it definitely does not feel like winter yet... they say it's around the corner but we'll see! We get money at the begging of each month (only 2 more days) and it's like 140$. Transfers calls are this Saturday. This transfer went by super fast! I feel like a lot of things will change this time... and yes i will bring my bike with me wherever i go because it is that cool. It will be hard to leave if that is what Heavenly Father finally decides? This place feels like home to me and the people in this area are like family. I love it! Sister Brown leaves in a week and she will go back to North Carolina. I haven't heard much from Elder Norton but i have his e-mail. He has had like 5 companions and is on his 3rd area right now. He is actually a District leader down in the valley! Way cool. I hear good things about the valley and have been there only a couple times very briefly.
We went down with the Castillo's and hiked at a place called Placerita Canyon? It was amazing! we took some awesome pictures! It felt very tropical, very sunny, and there was a very mild rain at the moment which made like a mist in the air. Rainbow's were forming around us as we were hiking up mountains and through forests! Very memorable. Bro Castillo is such a cool guy and we had some great talks on the top of the mountain overlooking the whole Santa Clarita Valley! Amazing. Reminded me of the hikes we went on dad, conquering Lone Peak/ (and that other place was that we went with Brent and Daniel) Teetons? Timpanogas? Wherever it was, it was amazing! Well anyways, many cool miracle's happened this week!
We had interviews with President which is always an awesome experience. President made a bet with me that he would give me 20$ out of his wallet if i made a three point shot because i was on fire and draining them! Then of course right after i said that, Miss. He said that his whole time serving as President, no basketball player has ever won his bet. I was so mad! haha. Then at church yesterday, i felt such a strong spirit and it was one of those days where i felt so insanely blessed! I felt so much love just looking around at the congregation. These are truly awesome people. I am so glad i have had the opportunities that i have had. Heavenly Father is spoiling me in this area. Then, BIG NEWS! Gayle Prove, a really sweet lady that is going to get baptized this Saturday came up to me and asked me if i would baptize her! It was such a shock but she said i couldn't think of anyone better to do it. I almost cried... She is such an awesome lady. So i will be baptizing Gayle @ 1:30 this Saturday. Then Ben Castillo's baptism is Sunday @ 5:30! Lot's of Miracles are happening in El Dorado Ward.
P.S. I don't know if i told you about Brother Goodwin yet, but he has been attending church with him all member family for over a year and everyone thinks he is a member. He just doesn't want to get baptized. But a couple week ago he was asked again to pray about it and he got an answer and said YES! So he got baptized last Saturday! Woot! Woot! Missionary work is so awesome! I love it! Helping others come unto Christ is the best feeling and most important thing you can accomplish in this life. The Spirit is amazing and works wonders. I feel so privileged to be guided by it in very thing we do as missionaries. The Holy Ghost just leads us to miracles. I love you guys so much, you are the best family EVER! I feel so lucky to have a family like you guys and appreciate it more and more everyday being out here in Lancaster and witnessing heartaches everyday. Keep being strong, you guys are my
Heroes.
Love, Elder Brady
