Hakuna Matata Family!!?
Dad, that picture was AWESOME! L Tom.
is everywhere! ha-ha that's amazing that you got a picture with him! Okay...
I'll let you in on a little secret. and what "20" means! Are you
ready?! It's super exciting! well actually it's not really something too
exciting, ha, he just challenged our mission to teach 20 lessons a week
and great things would happen!... So there's the big secret ;)
Anyways, nice work with the aerator!
That machine brings in the dough! I also know how you feel right now ha-ha,
playing around with that thing for a couple days made me more soar than
any other workout I've done!
Well I am super excited for this week
to listen to General Conference! I can't believe it has already been six
months! Crazy! We will probably watch the Saturday sessions with the Maxson's
at their home then the rest of the sessions at the stake center with all the
other missionaries. I will be providing the treats for them as well :) But I will
be keeping the notepad for myself this time because I need all the notes I
can get! It's crazy how much this mission life is changing me. I remember not
really caring too much about these sessions, but now, General Conference
is what I live for! And I am working on some really good questions and am
excited for them to be answered, because I know they will!
This past week it has been raining
quite a bit so biking has been interesting. I have come across a couple roadblocks
that I am trying to work out. For instance, I LOVE going
knocking and just am experiencing every element of surprise behind every
door! It makes my day:) And another thing I LOVE, is my companion, Elder
Norton. They are both awesome. But there is just one problem,
they HATE each other... So to get Elder Norton to go knocking is
like pulling teeth sometimes, but we have successfully done it 3 times now for
a couple hours and they have all been great experiences! Giving away Book
of Mormon's, trying to progress the work, and find some new people to teach,
ect! Very exciting stuff! Now my next task is to try and get Elder Norton
to actually say something, rather than me knocking and doing all the talking at
every single door... This is one of my questions right now and
would love some input on the situations because I am all out of
ideas!
Besides this, I just found out this
past week that Elder Salsberry is District leader in Lancaster with Elder
Irvine (the missionary I replaced, and Elder Norton's comp before
me here in Saugus). They drove down here to Santa Clarita to pick up Elder
Beazer's new missionary and they just spent half the day with us while they
were waiting for the Greenie Trainings to end. It was so good to see Salsberry
and hear about what's happening in my hometown. Elder Arrieta is now
home... It's getting to the point where all of the missionaries I was
"raised up" with are going home! It's so sad!
The ward members here are awesome. I
still don't feel as connected as I did in Lancaster with some of the people but
I would say I am close with about half the ward right now. The other half is
more of acquaintances but will get to know them better as time goes on. And I
keep thinking about how it took 7 months to get really close with everyone in
El Dorado and I've only been here for 2 so far, so I'm sure it will be the
same. I hope.
Well I am sorry but I am running out
of time on this computer, so I will have to get going.
I love you all and hope
you enjoy General Conference! Remember to think of some good questions and
watch them be answered!
Talk to you again before you know it!
Love, Elder Brady
