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."

Meetings/Responsibilities


Hakuna Matata! (It means no worries)

Hey family! Thanks for those awesome e-mails and all the details! It is awesome to have somewhat of an idea what is going on at home and what some of my friends are up to!

Well this week was super duper busy! On Tuesday we had Zone Leader council (ZLC) with President Hall that lasted from 9-4! Holy shmoley! Very long... Then on Wednesday we have Zone Development Meeting (ZDM) with our District Leaders to help them to inspire their individual districts and such. On Thursday we did a service project with half of our zone in Castaic, it always turns into a party when we all get together even though we are working super hard and braking down buildings and stacking/moving supplies from one side of the mountain in his backyard to the other side. If you have a good attitude and are with the right people, it doesn't matter what you do, it will be awesome. ;)

Then President Hall has started a new program with a meeting called Zone Training Meeting (ZTM) where the zone leaders train the missionaries in their zone for 2-3 hours! That is as long as church! But it's all-good, we gave that training last Friday and with our awesome zone, it went by very fast!  Then lastly, but definitely not least, we had another meeting with the Valencia stake presidency and President Hall Sunday morning @ 7 AM where they just ask us questions about how the missionary work/etc. is going in the stake. At least that meeting is only an hour long ;) My perspective is changing and I a grateful when they are only an hour long... haha.

Besides all of this our 4 investigators with baptismal dates should all be baptized within a month from now. We pray. But then we just picked up another investigator last week that also came to church last Sunday! His name is Frank and he is a military guy that is divorced with a couple kids. He is pretty entertaining to be around. When we first met him and went into his house he was wearing camo gear and has a 50 Cal Sniper that he was assembling on his kitchen table... WOW! So we actually picked him up for church and he really enjoyed church and wants to come again! He is very spiritually sensitive and has been to a lot of churches. He told us there is something different about us and he said the reason he let us in was because he saw a light about us. He keeps telling us (as he looks over our heads) that he sees a light around us and he knows we are truly God's servants. So awesome. Only one hard thing is that he rolls up tobacco and smokes it all the time. We even had to wait for him a couple times because he had to step out of church in between meetings to smoke...

Well I have to get going now because we are almost done with the shirts we are making for the missionaries in our zone!

I love you all!
Love, Elder Brady
