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
