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/Trainings


Thanks for all the amazing letters and that good thoughts letter with some extra "support"! :) I definitely was not expecting that one! Thanks again!
So to answer some questions real quick, transfers are on the week of the October 15th. Elder Kunz goes home after next transfer (8weeks) (59 days) "but who's counting really?" haha he's hilarious. And Elder Otis goes home in 2 weeks! Crazy. Everyone is starting to leave me! Jackson goes home in 2 weeks as well... and even Kennard goes home with Kunz! Kennard is a ZL in the valley right next to me now! Father like son! So we see each other more often now.
Anyways, I can't believe Ty Robinson is home now! That is insane! I'm sad i missed his homecoming. I got a e-mail from zach petersen too and it has been good to catch up with him as well.
So we had another Marshmallow war today out in Castaic! Everyone is getting really good and it's becoming very intense like a real war!! haha people sniping from roof tops, buried in leaves, building turtle shells for cover and moving them into their base to steal the enemies flag... etc. It's so dang fun. We are doing one more for the last P-day of this transfer.
This past week has been insane again and this week is looking like it will be just the same as last week. Last week we had all our meetings ZLC, Stake Presidency MTG, and even our "Member MTC Training" to the relief society/priesthood combined for the 3rd hour at church! This week we have a leadership training from 8-4 again on Thursday, ZTM (Zone Training Meeting) from 10-1 where we train the our zones on Friday, Oh and Tomorrow 3 Missionary department evaluators are coming from Salt Lake to evaluate our mission and see how it is doing... so they have selected 3 areas through prayer to tag along for a day and what do you know, they selected the AP's, Santa Clarita ZL's, and last but not least, VALENCIA ZL's! Yup that's us... bummer. Tomorrow is going to be interesting. We have just been calling up everyone and setting up appointments for every hour so it will go by fast. So stressful! haha jk, it'll be good.
Oh we can't forget the main event of the week though! GENERAL CONFERENCE! A missionaries living water! We are so excited, we are not sure where we will be watching it this time, all i know is that we definitely are not going to miss it that's for sure!
Elder Kunz and i have been having a blast together. It's at that point where you are with someone for a solid 3 months and start to think the same again. We are known as the "fun" zone leaders because there are some out there that are super strict and party poopers. So we have a great time with the many relationships that we have and we have come to find out that the better the friend you are, the more likely they are to trust you anyways. So it's a win win situation IF you make obedience fun! For our last ZLC, Elder Kunz and i totally rocked the perfect missionary come-over look. We got up there all serious-like to represent our zone and give a report and everyone laughed because they know that that's just not how we are. It's great. We are definitely making the most of these boring missionary meetings. haha.
Sorry if this letter is all over the place, but i have so many thoughts and so little time! Hopefully it makes sense!
Well there's the update for this week! Love ya all! PeAcE!
Love, Elder Brady
