Elder Brady's Motto

"I have desired that while serving a mission that I am to do God's will, not mine. If it is the will of God that I should spend my days proclaiming this Gospel and bearing testimony of these things, I shall think of myself highly privileged and honored. When the spirit of God is upon me, I think it matters very little what I suffer, and what I sacrificed - whether I secure the honor or dishonor of men, or where I die, if it so be that I can keep the faith, fight the good fight, and finish my course with joy, I have all eternity before me in which to enjoy myself."

Gaining Weight, Technology, Apple Pie


Wow! Thank you for all those amazing e-mails! That is a lot of information to take in, in just a half hour... Ha-ha. So many things are changing! It's crazy! Congratulations Kris and Jas! Twin girls! I actually could of guessed that... but HOORAW! We don't have enough girls in the family, so bring it on! :) I'm really racking up the numbers now, 4 nieces! It's fun to hear about Logan's speech attempts... I was laughing so hard when I read "awpo doppo" for applesauce! That's hilarious. Well, I’m excited to be around for that stage of life with "The Twins" ha-ha. I am now kind of starting to get another perspective on life, this mission life is beginning to seem more real to me and not as fake of a world anymore, but the things I hear from home are now sounding like some fake world... I guess this means I have been out for a "little while" now and getting used to it? I don't know... But anyways! It's time to answer some questions!

 The members are really good at feeding us in this ward; in fact, they're getting a little too good at it. I have some crazy news, are you ready? So you know how I was trying to gain weight for football and trying so hard to get to 170lbs. and tried so many things but just couldn't do it? Well yeah, I finally figured out what I need to do :) go on a mission... Elder Norton and I stood on Brother and Sister Maxson's scale a couple nights ago and we just laughed! I now weigh 180lbs! HaHaHa. And he weighs 195lbs! We have both gained about 20! Say what! Ridiculous. So that sums up how we are doing food wise... The members are great and it's a lot of fun getting to know them. Elder Norton has been here for 3 months longer than me so he knows them all pretty well. Most people in this area are extremely wealthy... We'll be at their house they whip out their I Pads and gadgets and use them to turn on their TVs and other things in their house! It's crazy! Also I was pretty blown away when one of them wanted to show us a clip and pulled out his I Phone and had a projector attachment and showed us a Mormon message YouTube clip from his I Phone projected onto the wall! Technology... Elder Norton was talking about how insane it is becoming and they will probably have a Plasma I Phone 7 or something when we get back. When people ask us why we don't use these resources, our defense is that our scriptures will never run out or battery. :) 

My legs are definitely getting bigger and the hills, easier.  We probably have just gained 20lbs. of muscle being on bike. So besides this, I don't know what else to share. We are still doing great work together. I just feel that I have been little too prideful with our successes and with how well things are going, so Heavenly Father has given me a dose of Humble Pie that I am currently chewing on... Never take the Holy Ghost for granted. He makes everything work and we are just the instruments in His hands. I am just happy to see how much our Heavenly Father has blessed so many people's lives through us. We are so lucky to have this great opportunity to be apart of it 24/7. It's hard to always keep Perspective! So Heavenly Father reminds us, to help us.

P.s. I got the package Mom! Thank you so much!
Love you all!
Love, Elder Brady
