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."

Do you believe in Miracles?


Thank you all for the news again! ha ha and yes Abby, I can still do a back flip even though I am "fat" now :) Dad, nice work in action! I bet Paul and Deanna with be happy with this decision! So much remodeling... I don't even know whose house Logan is in, in that picture! It could be ours for all I know ha ha.

Well to answer some questions, brother and sister Maxson are probably moving to Logan area around June 2013. Richard Maxson is retired and Sandy Maxson will retire next year right before the move. She works as a special Ed teacher at La Mesa Middle school. So their plan is to move right when she is done working. She has a lot of family in Utah and they want to be more involved with them.

The weather this week was incredible as well! People in this area say they have never seen it rain that hard in a long time. We experienced a huge rainstorm! We were actually in District meeting when the best part of the storm rolled around ...There we were, bearing testimonies ect., as the lightning was unleashing, FLASH! BANG! POW! We came to the conclusion that each time it snapped, it was the heavens approval, which made it very epic :) ha ha it was fun.

So some great things happened this week! Miracles!

At church yesterday Stephen walked in again! He stayed for all three hours of church with us and loved it! We even taught him another lesson right after church! He was definitely on a spiritual high! We are going to meet with him again tomorrow and invite him to baptism! So wish us luck! All of this wasn't even the best part... another bigger miracle happened this week! Remember Elder L. Tom Perry's prophecy about if we consistently teach 20 lessons a week Great things would happen?! Well it's true! We are going to harvest the first baptism in this area in the last 2 years! A sister Donna Mathews (an eternigator who has been coming to church for the past 5 years and been taught many times) came up to bishop yesterday and said she is ready to get baptized!!!! So that is going to happen on the last day of this transfer! The 28th @ 3:00!!! We have to meet with her a lot this week to make sure she is good to go and still knows everything. Then bishop will announce it at sacrament meeting next Sunday and everyone will be blown away! Donna has been coming for so long that she even has a church calling! Ha ha.

All of this has strengthened my testimony so much about being diligent and not getting discouraged! Because, with God, All things ARE possible! Even baptizing in a dead area! And we just need to remain diligent to the things we know are right so we can "win the prize!"  YESSSSSS!

I love you all and please keep our 2 baptismal candidates in your prayers as they progress these next two weeks :)

I let you know how it goes when I talk to you again next week!

PEACE!!!

Love, Elder Brady
