27!! In Saugus

Surprise! I'm e-mailing you and it's on Monday again! ha-ha Sorry I had you guys worried last week. But anyways, I have great news for you! Elder Norton and I DESTROYED Saugus this week, and broke the all time teaching record of <<<27>>> Lessons in one week! We also met with Jesse at Central Park like we were talking about because he did show up and had an amazing lesson! We also now have a total of 4 INVESTIGATORS now!! Whoo! Stuff is finally happening! We were all over the place and biked easily 100 miles this week. Man, I don't really know what else to share... that pretty much sums up our whole week! Elder Norton and I are getting pretty good at teaching together and get along great! Oh! We had our usual 9-hour zone conference, this week as well which took up mostly all day Thursday! We heard some awesome training and got to see President Martin again. He saw us together and forgot we were together and look shocked, as if he had forgotten, then as the light bulb in his head came on he said, "wait were you and Elder Norton MTC companions?" Yes Sir we were!! Ha-ha then he just looked back at us while shaking his head and said "Oh no how did I not see that!" Then we just said, "Because it's meant to be Pres!"  - I have been so lucky with my companions and love each of them to death. Norton is my third and I'm his sixth! Ha-ha he has not had a companion longer than 6 weeks... and let's just say, I'm opposite. So hopefully we'll get to stay together. - Playing basketball the other day, I Elder Norton and I were dunking and one of my attempts failed and I got rejected by the rim... and that's not even the worst part, a sharp pain went through my back and now it's super stiff and hurts when I breath in to hard... Lesson learned. - We taught Elder Quorum this week and shared a BOMB lesson!! IT was on the last General Conference talk "You Matter to Him" by Dieter F. Uchtdorf.  You'll never guess what we did ;) okay, I'll tell you. With our creative brainpower that Elder Norton and I have, we tied it all in with Lion King! We showed the clip where Rafiki takes Simba to the water to look at his reflection to discover himself and realize that his father lives in him <"Look Harder" says Rafiki> (We are children of God and created in his image) and Simba's father appears to him in the clouds and tells him to remember who he is and to reach his full potential. A lot of great quotes from that 3-minute scene and all of Elder's Quorum just blew up about it and we had a great discussion about how we matter to Got and we are not forgotten. We also read (Moses 1:4, 6-7, 12-13, 16) and how is emphasizes "My Son" and Satan tries to temp Moses, but Moses tells Satan to get away from him because he is a Son of God.  Some great Lion King Quotes we used off the top of my head...

"You have forgotten who you are, and so, have forgotten me"

"You are my Son"

"You are more that what you have become"

"You must take your place in [my Kingdom]"

"Remember who you are"

Lessons like these are so much fun and making teaching an enjoyable experience :) Especially in Elders Quorum ha-ha, such a funny group.

The last thing I am going to share is more of just a funny story... So there is a dance around here known as Mormon Prom. And one of our really good friends in the ward wanted to ask a girl and had a big plan of how to ask her. Come to find out if you ask a girl in a way that has already been done, your lame. So he is a funny guy (Senior in high school) and with us, came up with a very Original idea. "I know! Let's have the missionaries ask her!" So yeah, Saturday night we asked a girl to Mormon Prom and her family was laughing so hard and recorded the whole shebang. So now it's the talk of the valley right now. I'm going to try to get a copy of it to show you how we did the whole thing. It was absolutely hilarious. We are known as either Timon and Pumba or the Missionaries that asked a girl to Mormon Prom now. We have such character around here. Such great memories already and its only beginning of week 4 in Saugus! 

Whelp, fun stuff. I probably have lots more to share but can't think and this computer is about to go black and shut down in 30 seconds so I better send this off!

Love you all and hope you have a great week this week! 

Love, Elder Brady
