Little Miracles

Sup Fam!

So i'm just sitting here chillin', shootin the breeze, trying to figure out how to write a so totally radical e-mail to you peeps...

Jk. I don't actually talk like that,,,,yet ;) But anyways, this past week has been awesome! Unfortunately, James's baptism got pushed back to next week because they moved to a different apartment and it felt too rushed so hopefully things have settled down and they will be ready this Sunday. Besides this, we had some more miracles this week! We gave one of the sister missionaries investigators a blessing and he has been investigating the church for about 7 years and still hasn't received an answer about baptism... Elder Ludlow gave the blessing and right after he felt the spirit super strong and we talked about baptism then left and went on with the rest of our day not thinking too much about it. Then that night the sister missionaries in our district called us and told us that he got his answer from the blessing earlier and he wants to get dunked now! So the sisters went back over the next day and set a date with him for Feb. 3rd! The priesthood is real!!!

We also picked up 3 more awesome investigators this past week.  We have been becoming very good friends with, Franco, a 27 year old Filipino guy. We started up playing basketball on Wednesdays again! He has been coming to church every week for the past 4 weeks! We are thinking about setting a date with him as well when we meet with him tonight. He is going to Utah tomorrow to visit his girlfriend and i told him to say hi to you guys! You guys would love him, he's so legit.

We have also just been trying to exercise more faith and pay attention to the little miracles around us, they're everywhere! Whenever we are led to an apartment complex where we can't get in, because it has a security gate, we know we ended up there for a reason so we decide to pray for a miracle! Just then, as we begin to pray we get interrupted by someone on the inside getting the prompting to check their mail or something and let us in! Coincidence? I think not! So just cool miracles like that :) haha

Lastly, one more "miracle" i witnessed this past week was when we went bowling as a zone and i definitely bowled the best game of my life! 180 you say? nope, higher!.... 200 you say? nope, higher!..... 220 you say? HIGHER! .... 233 you say? ding ding ding we have a winner! The miracles you witness that only seem to happen as a missionary make me laugh :)

Anyways, things are still going great in our little Trio! They met with President this week and President said they were doing fantastic! And it made his week with the improvements he saw in them. We didn't notice because these changes seem very gradual to us so it was nice to get an outside perspective! I didn't get to meet with him because i was on exchanges that day working in Encino with the ZL's... It's hilarious though how attached us three have gotten to each other. Right when i returned back the next day i was so happy to see them, and they ran up to me and hugged me saying,"Brady! Don't ever leave us again!"

 

Thank you so much for you letter Grandma and Grandpa Brady! You guys are awesome! And to answer some questions, we attend church from about 7:30- 3:00 in and out on average covering both wards.
