This week was definitely full of
activities! To start off, Elder Kunz's birthday was last Tuesday and I have
been making under the radar plans for the whole week prior! It turned out to be
"the best birthday ever" with approximately 6 surprise parties!!! ha-ha.
To start off the day, we did some service and then I took him to the park where
our whole zone was waiting and surprised him and we blind folded him and had a piñata
for him to smash and ate pizza. Then we went to a members where they were
waiting with some other missionaries and surprised him again! Then we
"stopped by some other missionaries apartment" where they got him
again. Then for dinner, the whole office staff came together that
night and threw him a little party as well! That was even all! We had
another later set appointment after dinner with Brett, Jen, and Bryan
(recent convert/PM family) and we had the lesson at another members house where
they were prepared with more surprises!!! It was such a crazy day! He made like
5 wishes by blowing out 5 different sets of candles! We don't even have enough
room in our kitchen for all our cakes/cupcakes we received! It was
straight up madness! The best part was that he NEVER even
suspected ONE of these several surprise parties! He couldn't believe how everyone
found out and how they just kept coming!
So besides this awesome day I also
had the opportunity to go on exchanges with the APs on
Wednesday. They sure do have a busy life and have very little time to
do missionary work. I thought zone leader was bad, assistant to the
president is definitely a hand full! We helped a couple missionaries
pack up their stuff and get ET'd (emergency transferred) to another area
because of certain issues... We also had a set of elders sleep with
us that night as well because something was wrong with their apartment...
It was a great learning experience but I don't ever wish to do that full
time. ha-ha.
Anyways, Elder Kunz and I spoke in
Sacrament meeting again because some "high councilman"
bailed.., but this time was a big land mark for me! I gave a 15 minute
talk without writing anything down! I never thought I would be able to get to
that point. ha-ha. So I'm pretty stoked about that :) And I guess we did a
pretty good job because we got quiet a few compliments from some
individuals saying that was exactly what they needed to hear. We keep
telling them it's 100% the spirit and we are just spoiled to be
his instrument. Man, It's tough having him get all the credit as the
3rd member of our companionship I tell you ;)
Besides all this fun stuff we have a
crazy ton of meeting this week and the first of the month is approaching which
means CHAOS! So brace yourselves...
We have also been getting a ton of
requests to do the marshmallow war activity again so Elder Kunz and I are getting
ready to do that again one of these P-day's before the transfer ends. This is
our first "normal" p-day where we actually have time to e-mail this
month!;)
Well I got to get going! I'll talk to
you again extremely soon!
Love, Elder Brady
