Well Hello Family!
Sorry it's so late, but Surprise! We
finally got around to e-mail during this chaotically busy P-day!
Today we had the opportunity to hear
Elder Perry, Elder Maynes, and their wives speak to us! It was absolutely
amazing. Right now I couldn't be any happier with life and feel the spirit
so strongly. I also had an awesome interview with
President Martin. Heavenly Father truly does call some inspired leaders
for His church :)
So our entire mission
(180ish) came together for this occasion, and it was so much fun to see
all of the missionaries I have ever met/lived with/been companions
with/ect. They all feel like family as we all reunited! President Martin had a
hard time quieting us down while we were in the church waiting for Elder Perry
because we were all so excited! It was so good to see Ludlow, Jackson,
Salsberry, Everitt, Coffin, Sister Mix, Sister Stewart, Ruiz, Souza,
Arrieta (goes home in 9 days), ect. ect. ect. it's crazy how we
all go through so much together, then get called somewhere else and
go our separate ways and get totally different experiences to share
with each other! I love it!
At the meeting, L. Tom Perry talked
to us about how we need to be prepared, and treat our calling seriously. We
need to be teaching all the time and use the power we have with Energy and
Boldness! He was so much fun to listen to and had the whole room roaring at
times with his jokes :)
Elder Maynes talked to us about being
worthy AND sensitive to the spirit's promptings so we can be more effective instruments in
Heavenly Father's hands.
Awesome messages! L. Tom Perry is
sooo tall! I was not expecting that. Each of us got to shake Elder Perry's hand
(I’m never washing this hand again). He asked me where I was from and I said
"Draper, Utah." Then he responded with a smile and said,” well that's
a very good place :)" Then, I got booted out of line... so that was my 5
seconds of fame with an apostle, and for the record Draper is a very good place
:) Oh! also during his presentation he called on Elder Norton and I to read a
scripture for him! Coincidence? I think not! (I am actually getting used to
this getting called out stuff ha-ha) So I read Luke 6: 12-13 out loud for
everyone, so now, that is probably my new favorite scripture!! ha-ha with a
side note of... "Scripture that L. Tom Perry asked me to read!"
(Well, an Asian Lady just came up to
us in the library and we started talking with her about the church and why we
were all dressed up so this is all I will be able to share this week cause
we're out of time.)
Sorry for the short letter. Life is
very busy right now!
Mom, my back is feeling 100% and I am
doing better than ever in every other aspect in life!
Love you all! Love Elder Brady
