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."

Thanksgiving!


Aloha!

Thank you for all those great letters! Sounds like you guys are definitely staying busy at home! I can't believe Lynds and Braden are going to move here to L.A.!  That's crazy! Definitely a lot different from Utah... just look at the picture I sent dad when he receives his birthday gift this week haha. Ridiculous, and that's just a taste of your in-town "scenery" around here... Anyways, this week is going to be a short e-mail. We have transfers coming up this week and one of our sisters is getting transferred early so we have to help her out today. She is going to the grand land of Valencia! She is Korean and they need her to open a new area up in Santa Clarita!

This week, an awesome member is going to feed us on Thanksgiving Day! So we are super pumped about that.

Our investigator, Rhenz, is doing very well and is ready to get baptized on Dec. 2! Elder Johnson and I have really been having a lot of fun here in the valley. We also were helping at the mission office and we played our cards right with the office staff and we scored a new car because they love us so much! Our last car was a beat up valley car with 50,000+ miles on it! So we got a new 2013 Cruz! It's awesome and all the missionaries are super jealous of our "connections" :) . Also one more thing I will mention is that we had an "operation gratitude" this past week! Where volunteers throughout the community came together to make care packages and stuff for the National Guard! We made some parachute bands, and most importantly, sorted tons of candy! With all the candy that was donated we could have filled up my entire room with it! But we had to go through all that was donated to make sure it is legitimate. We found a couple of toys and such we had to take out as well as anything that would symbolize a body part because it could be "traumatizing". So we probably spent over 2 hours sorting hand fulls of candy and throwing it into trailers. Epic.

Sorry, I have to go! We are going to have a California snowball fight zone activity! (Aka. socks full of flower) Love you all!

Love, Elder Brady
No regrets
