HAPPY BIRTHDAY KRISTIN
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Mom! Sorry about yesterday
again, with our one free hour to e-mail yesterday, right as we
sat down and started reading the letters, we got a call from the Sarmiento
family. Sister Sarmiento said she just got home from work and when she walked
into her house, it was flooded! The water heater burst. So we rushed over
there and helped her move all her furniture out of her water filled rooms. It's
all good now though and they fixed the problem and insurance is helping them
out. I am so glad you got to meet her though! They are such an awesome family.
I think the reason I like them so much is because they are so much like my
family! It's interesting to see how different missionaries mesh with other
families. They weren't very close to too many previous missionaries but they
sure are now! That is also the case with a lot of other families out
here that tell us how they used to have the missionaries over everyday
but don't see them too much anymore. So we try to keep the ties with
everyone and be everywhere at once. Also, on top of that, we try to strengthen
our relationships with the missionaries in our zone and hang out with them
every once in a while. It's so hard to please everyone though!
Anyways, this last week has been
awesomely busy for us. I got your package!! Thank you it's perfect! Sister
Sarmiento is hilarious and it sounds like you talked about A LOT! Considering
that she said you better not marry that non-member girl! ha-ha I just
laughed and she made me promise I would marry in the temple... Thank you Mom #2
:) That's mother Sarmiento for ya!
Then Octavio Sirias got
baptized last Saturday and probably 100+ people showed up! It
was definitely a spiritual feast in there! It was awesome. We have
also become really close to the Sirias family and spend a lot of time
with them as well. He then got confirmed on Sunday and Kunz and I
were supposed to talk in Sacrament meeting but they ran out of time and they
Bishop said to save our talks for another time. ha-ha interesting.
Then lastly, the new transfer meeting
went extremely well and is something that will be an awesome tradition! We have
two brand new missionaries in our zone now and we have been having fun with
them helping them feel comfortable out here in "big this
scary mission field". It has helped me to remember my first
couple days and the roller coaster that was! They are doing awesome though and
they are going to be epic missionaries. It's been fun helping them out this
past week.
We trained the zone last Friday
and a lot of the missionaries in our zone changed this past transfer and
we now have 22 missionaries! Elder Kunz and I have some pretty awesome zone
activities we are currently working on! This next Monday we are doing
a marshmallow war. Yesterday we got with the zone and taught them how to make
Marshmallow guns out of PVC pipe. ha-ha. So everyone is preparing and
customizing their guns this week. Kunz and I are setting up an arena out in
Castaic and we're going to do it paintball style with some Free for all/
capture the flag/ 2v2v2 games. It's going to be awesome and it is currently the
talk and hot topic of the mission right now.
Thanks again for the package! It's
awesome!
Have a great week! Love you all. Talk
to you again before you know it
Love, Elder Brady
