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."

Memorial Day


Wud up Fam!

Hey so Happy Memorial Day! This week has been very successful for Elder Otis and I! We didn't have too many Zone Leaders responsibilities to fulfill this week, which was a blessing because we taught 28 lessons this week!!! And picked up 7!!! New Investigators in our area! We definitely tore it up this week and have been working super hard to progress our area. I have bad news though, I have not recorded the video for Abby's baptism yet but I am determined to do it before tomorrow is over! We've been talking to the Sarmiento family and they said they could even send it to you online so you can just pull it up instantly? I don't know, you'll get it though. To be totally honest, I don't even know how I am going to do it, I want to make the video somewhat fun so I've been thinking outside the box... We'll see what I come up with... hopefully she'll like it. 

Anyways, this week we also had Dinner with President and sister Martin! It's actually really nice to be so close to them all the time and spend more time with them. It's going to be sad to see them leave next month.   This week we also helped some missionaries clean their apartment. It was terrible! Mom, you know it's bad when even I think it's bad... ha ha. But we bought some cleaning supplies and stuff and we spent a couple hours deep cleaning their apartment as a district. It was actually a really fun bonding experience. We have Korean elders in our Zone and we have been spending a lot of time with them lately. It's actually their apartment that was the disaster! Korean culture :( ... ha ha. But it was good President encouraged us to do so and he said he'll pay us back. Which he has forgotten to do, therefore I am broke again :( it's almost a new month so not for long! May went by way too fast... transfer calls are already coming in 2 weeks.

We have been having some awesome spiritual experiences this past week. We made a new dinner thought that we share with the families that feed us and 75% of the time everyone cries! It's really powerful and we get their trust with that and then we lead it into finding people that God has prepared to receive the gospel. And we have gotten a ton of referrals this week from this message and have been talking to a lot of new people! It's so great! Hence, our 7 new investigators this week! 3 of them even showed up at church, which was very exciting! Hopefully we can keep this up and we are going to do everything in our power to help them keep progressing!

Crazy news: I got in contact with former Elder Bennett this week! He told me he's getting married to one of the girls (Amber Ostler) that we taught back up in Lancaster! Crazy!   

Dad! We went on a hike last Monday up Towsley Canyon and made the mistake of not taking water... talk about some serious cottonmouth! I was just laughing to myself about that hike me and you went on... I don't think anyone else will realize how funny that really was. "You just had to be there" ha ha. 
Well, thanks for everything you do, you amazing family of mine! I couldn't of asked for a better one. Keep being you!

Good luck at your baptism my favorite little sister in the whole wide world! You're so awesome! 

I Love you all,
Love Elder Brady
