Transfer 14

Hey Family, sorry this is going to be short today. Things are getting super crazy around here...

Things have been going really well for Elder Yovanno and I this week! We have had some awesome spiritual experiences together. One of which we were teaching an 11 year old black kid whose mom is a member but he is not. As we were teaching him we wanted to find out what was holding him back from getting baptized? After teaching him how to follow Jesus Christ's example and the happiness that gospel brings he got really excited and was showing some real interest! Then when we asked him if he would get baptized he was hesitant again... come to find out, he is just scared of going under the water and didn't want to do it. We decided to give him a blessing to see what would happen, so Elder Yovanno performed it, and right after the blessing James looked up at me and i then asked,"Well James, how do you feel now?" Then James answers,"Not scared!" MIRACLE! Heavenly Father literally just took that fear from him! Then we set a date for 2 weeks from now (20th) and he agreed! He just wants both of us in the font with him for a little "comfort" and we told him we could do that. I told him that Elder Yovanno is a really good baptizer so he wants him to do it! This will be Elder Yovanno's first time performing a baptism! I am so excited to be apart of this, i know this will change both of their lives forever.

So besides these awesome experiences and seeing Elder Yovanno feel the spirit and exercise the Priesthood numerous times, this isn't even the big news for this past week...

I got another call from Pres this week and he really pumped me up on the phone for a while thanking me for everything i have been doing and basically gave me a big head. I was just confused why he called to just tell me all this and give me compliments, then i finally came to that conclusion... all in a nut shell, he told me he has been working with another struggling missionary for the past couple weeks who almost went home this past month... This missionary doesn't have any motivation right now and wants to go home but he only has 3 months left! He told me that he would like to stay if me and him were companions... So this is where him buttering me up comes into play, he is now giving me another assignment... to help out another missionary. He recognized that i am already on an important assignment so he wants to put him with us in a Tripanionship! I asked who it was and he said Ludlow. Right when i heard that i got so happy! I love Elder Ludlow so much and was one of my favorite companions! We always fantasized about being comps again but it didn't seem accompishable! But he definitely pulled some strings to make this work! Haha. This is going to be so interesting! We are not supposed to know until the transfer meeting but president wanted to make sure i was okay with it. I told him "DEFINITELY!"

So now we got to get ready to equip our apartment with things of 3 for when we pick him up tomorrow! We still haven't done laundry and we're helping the sisters in my district move to a different apartment for more sister to move into our district and we got an appointment at 7:30 so we got to go!

Love ya!

Love Elder Brady
