Serious News Update

Holy Schmoley... So this past week has been insane! Lots of stuff went down. First off though I’ll answer some questions. I do keep in contact with Ty Robinson, we write probably once a month. I have also heard from Colby and Colton! If I still don't have any time to write Colton back before he leaves, tell him bye for me and thank you for the shirts :) He is an awesome friend and he'll do great out there. It's sad to hear about Casey... I hope everything works out for him. I love these guys.

Okay, well I can't wait any longer, are you ready for the serious news update! I am going to < Saugus3rd > (Santa Clarita area!) and you'll never guess who with! Elder Norton! hahaha Best friends reunite! We called each other when we found out and knew it would happen eventually! It's destiny. So Saugus is technically in Canyon Country and where we are at is supposedly the hardest bike area... I have stayed in contact with Elder Norton and he told me about the area he was in and I remember thinking how I wanted to accept his challenge and conquer the "hardest bike area in the mission". Ha-ha well, guess what? Now I will! I will actually try to forward a little part of our conversations... Anyways, besides all of this, Ludlow and I had the best week of our entire missions last week! Our unity is incredible and everyone looks at us with awe at how well we got along and complimented each other. We had so much fun. I am getting into a routine where right when 9-10:00 rolls around I am dead tired from all of our chaotic days and just want to go to sleep so badly. Ha-ha totally different from m college days when Brandon and I, on average, wouldn't go to bed until 4 in the morning...

The baptism went super well! I got to baptize Gayle and be apart of Ben's baptism. This is the best way to leave an area, 2 baptisms the day before we leave! We were talking with Bishop White and we realized that Ludlow and I were both "born" in this area, and now we are together to "Kill" (End) off the elders in El Dorado. (I killed my first Area... Uh Oh. ;) We are legendary in this area. It truly feels like home and all the people feel like family. It will be hard to leave, especially when all day after we bore our testimonies at church and told/thanked everyone. It was an emotional day and we had very touching conversations with these family members all day long yesterday. We truly feel loved back here... Some wanted to call up President to change his mind while others just told us how much we have touched their lives and cried. We had the spotlight pretty much all day and took like a thousand pictures yesterday of everyone we could. Grandma Kabel is going to drive us down to our places. She is so awesome. I am going to miss these guys. 

Lots of changes are happening to our zone. Elders in El Dorado are officially gone, and it's just two sisters now. Sister Mix and Sister Stewart. Sister Brown goes home. So Mix and Stewart are going to have a lot of work on their plate to take over this area by themselves and are very scared and nervous but they will do great... Salisbury is depressed because our AMAZING STRIPLING WARRIORS pad is now just going to be him and his new companion by themselves.

I am so excited for my new area though! I hear Elder Norton and I are going to live with members. That will be sweet :) And Elder Kennard is in my zone so I will see him again! Also Elder Emery is my new Zone Leader down there! Holy Awesome! We are all reuniting! Time to go see them! Well, we are going to go now because Ludlow and I have tons of stuff to do today! Talk to you on the flip side! Hopefully all of this gibberish made some sense!

Love, Elder Brady
