Sorry! Ha. Thank you for all those awesome pictures of Newport beach/Disneyland! They were fantastic! They looked like so much fun! Almost too much fun... ;)
I know, it's Tuesday and i am finally e-mailing... we had a crazy day yesterday! We got invited to go mountain biking up Placerita Canyon yesterday with a super less active member and his fiancee who is a non-member! His name is Andrew and is about 25. We are pretty close with him and his fiancee and have had some awesome opportunities to hang out with them! They are getting married on Saturday and don't want too much to do with the church right now, so the elders quorum, and such, have been working through us lately to get to them. We are just glad that Andrew and Stephany feel comfortable around us and want to do things with us.
So yesterday was an awesome missionary opportunity again that we couldn't pass up! You know those radio towers that are usually located on one of the tallest mountain peeks in the valley? Well, we might of made it to one of those yesterday on our bikes! It's was so sick! And even after jumping/crashing, and such, i didn't brake the bike i borrowed from another missionary which was another plus! haha
Anyways, this past week has been a miracle! Bryan got baptized and a ton of people came out to support him and it turned out perfect! The spirit was definitely present and i will never forget that experience. Brett (Bryan's non-member dad) had a big change of heart as well as he witnessed/got touched by spirit of the truthfulness of what happened. I'll never forget the moment right after I baptized Bryan and his dad standing there at the top of the stairs of the font. The three of us walked back into the bathroom to change with Bryan literally glowing and super giddy and Brett trying his best to contain the joy he was feeling. Brett knows it's true and will come along as well soon. :)
The rest of the highlights that happened this week was that we had a zone conference on Friday where Elder Kunz and I trained on "Finding with Faith/Love" It actually was a lot of fun and everyone really enjoyed it! We are getting better at this training thing every time we do it, and it finally feels like I actually know what I am doing now and how to make them fun. haha
We actually had a scary moment this week. So, we were sleeping one night (i know weird huh?) and we got a call from Pres. Hall at 4 AM that woke us up. He told us that he needed our help right away and told us some info and gave us an assignment. So we immediately got dressed and drove over to the Spanish elders apartment in our zone because their Carbon Monoxide detector went off in the middle of the night and they got MO poisoning and were dizzy/nauseous! We picked them up, and brought them to our apartment where we spent the rest of the night taking care of them and watching for symptoms in case we had to take them to the hospital. They slowly recovered and when we woke up Kunz had made us all breakfast! Yay! Best companion ever! Then the next day they were back to normal. Then we just called maintenance and such and got the situation at their apartment figured out and everything is okay now and they found the problem. Thank goodness for MO detectors! That stuff is a silent killer, so that was pretty scary...
Lastly, Elder Emery came back to the mission and visited me while he was here! It was so crazy to see him not as a missionary! I gave him my address because he was going to be close to Draper before he went back to school in Logan. He said he stopped by my house to meet my amazing family that i talked about all the time, but no one was home! Darn, then i just remembered you were all in Cali with me! That would have been awesome for you guys to meet elder Emery! Also can you send me Lark and Connie Erickson's address? An awesome member here (Debra Gardiner) is moving right over into that neighborhood i think and should be in their same ward but wanted to find out for sure...Well this is all that i can think of for now so until next time! Stay classy family!:)
Love, Elder Brady--NO REGRETS--
