Stephen and Donna

Hello family! Firstly, I am very excited and proud to tell you that this week was almost as good as last week! I know that seems impossible, but Stephen came to church AGAIN on Sunday and we taught him for an hour and a half after church! We invited him to be baptized and he eventually said YES!!! We had to address some of his concerns such as how he doesn't need to be baptized because he has already been baptized twice! Etc. But he now has a better understanding, so we set the date for May 13 and promised him he will be prepared for that date to be baptized as long as he keeps his commitments we give him! He already asked bishop Stanley if he would speak at his baptism and planning an after party to celebrate his baptism :) I seriously can't believe it... We now have 2 investigators who will be getting baptized within the next month! This is unheard of, Thank you for all your prayers! They are definitely being answered! I feel so lucky to be apart of all these life changing experiences, simply because we don't feel like we are even doing anything special and Heavenly Father is blessing us immensely! Saugus 3rd is officially back in business after being in a "drought" for 2 years! I honestly don't even know what else to say... words cannot describe these experiences as a missionary. :)

Besides all these many miracles that are taking place, I will hurry and give some details about the rest of this past week for your sake mother dearest :)

P.S. you used the word "EPIC!!!".... Perfectly! Your are such a cool mom. Definitely the best one EVER! You da bomb :)

So first we actually did something fun on P-day and went with the Zone Leaders up to Castaic Lake and hiked around through the trees! We skipped rocks and watched all the boats fly around out on the lake, which was probably a bad idea... It was torcher! I want to wake board so badly! It was hilarious though, Elder Emery asked me, how far away do you think that boat is from us? and Norton and I both answered 14 months... ha-ha

P.S. he wants to come with us to Lake Powell when we get back :)

Anyways, we also had interviews with President Martin this week for the last time... Sad, he's getting ready to leave us... While we were in the interview he told Elder Norton and I how we have done exactly what he has sent us here to do. He talked about how there are two different kids of missionaries, Project missionaries and Partner missionaries. He said he usually doesn't put two partner missionaries together very often, but this was a special case and Saugus needed a spiritual bomb. He also referred to us a "Powerhouse Companionship!" Interviews with President are always a spiritual boost! He is such a great guy. And it was very good to hear that we are accomplishing what were here to do. It's the best news you can hear as a missionary from a mission President.

Well I hate to cut short on this e-mail, but I got an e-mail from Mike Pollard!!! and I need to respond to that real quick. Sorry I didn't answer all/really any of your questions mom, just know that everything is Awesome, and if you have any doubts just ask Dad how I'm doing, he doesn't feel bad for me anymore :) ha-ha

I love you all! Have a great week and thanks for everything!

Love, Elder Brady
