5 Week Transfer

Sup Fam!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA ERICKSON!

Thank you mom and dad for those awesome letters this week! That is exactly what i needed. Things are going very well with us, but as far as the ward goes, we still don't have any new investigators for the Northridge 1st family ward... Although, the members here are some of my favorites! The Meza family has now officially adopted us haha, now making my 3rd mission mom... (Mother Helaman, sister Sarmiento, and now sister Meza!)

probably even more than that now that i come to think about it. Also, at least two Grandma's! (Grandma Tripp, and Grandma Kabel!) While I'm at it, a ton of new best friends too! (All of my companions!)

Anyways, i think it's safe to say that i have made a lot of friends/family here in California!

You wouldn't believe it, I always talk highly of my past companions, and i got Johnson and Norton to request each other and they got it!  Now they are serving together not too far from us in Woodland Hills! Hopefully they are doing well and it's turning out as good as i thought it would. Elder Holm got called to train a new missionary so we have been helping him out with that as well. Seeing this new stunned missionary fresh off the plane took me back and i still feel like i just did that a couple months ago, not 20 months ago! Mission time goes by so darn fast. Sorry to say, but right now, i don't feel ready to come home yet... I still have no idea what i want to do in life or where i want to go to school etc. I thought all that stuff would just come to me and i would have time to figure that out, but here i am, and still don't know!... The mission definitely knows how to keep every minute of the day busy and no room to think/research any of that kind of stuff. Basically, i think it would be cool to go to BYU, but UVU was super fun and i liked that... Honestly, i would just like to stay somewhere in the Provo atmosphere... So yeah, i don't know if that answers your question about school mom? But there it is. Elder Yovanno has made his decision of what he wants to do in life... follow me wherever i go... haha and he's pretty serious so i think i have found a permanent roommate for the rest of my life. lol

Oh i don't know if i told you this yet or not, but this transfer is the transfer that is only 5 weeks. So this transfer is also why everyone after this transfer will be going home a week early :(  So basically we only have 4 weeks left together already. We went a whole week with just walking/getting rides from people, now as of Saturday, we got two bikes! We are borrowing two other missionary bikes so we don't have to buy new ones, thank goodness! Elder Ludlow and Yovanno are super unmotivated by the whole bike idea so going around finding some new investigators is pretty tricky with zero motivation... but I'm working on that one now, it's my new game scenario. Wish us luck!

Got to get going now, Love you all!

Love, Elder Brady
