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."

100th Email?!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON!  
Thank you for all those letters! No worries mom, thank you for the birthday wishes and you have already taken care of my birthday so no need to send me anything! I'm having trouble as it is just starting to think about how i am going to get all of the stuff i've collects over the past 2 years home? I'm thinking that most of it will just have to be donated to my fellow missionaries... i might have to start over with clothes seeing that i have 8 white shirts and 4 slacks... i don't think that will fly everyday as a regular person again back in college. Who knows though? Dress for success right? I feel that i have made a good habit of that lol.  
As for the Hotel situation, i don't know how much i'll be able to help you out with that... i would say that Anaheim/disneyland area would be best just because i have lived in Santa Clarita for about a year now and it doesn't feel like much of a vacation spot and i would probably just want to visit a whole bunch of people i come to know and continue to teach them the gospel all day... but i won't be able to do that anymore ;( 
But i would like to maybe take a day and visit that Sunday or something!  
Also, as far as trying to get some of my stuff home, i don't think everything will be able to fit in 2 suit cases unless i just trashed a lot of things? So i was wondering if i should leave it with a family here for us to pick it up when we come or just send it with President Jex to take back...? Let me know in the next letter your advice then i shall proceed to act upon that.  
As far as Ari's baptism, her grandma, who has been a huge part of helping us teach and part of her conversion process, got hospitalized a day before, so they postponed it to June15th... So it's still happening we just have to apply the christlike attribute of patience and endure this delay with her. But all is well and things are going extremely well still! We had interviews with President  Hall this past week which is always good!  
This week we have a big week ahead of us. Elder Wright and I are attending the monthly Mission Leadership Council on Wednesday all day, then we are training our zone from 10-1 on Friday, then right after, hosting a fireside/youth conference for all the youth in Santa Clarita, from 2-6, teaching them what we wish we knew before our missions. Then Saturday all the missionaries are taking a youth out from 1-5 to go tracting/teaching and showing them the life of a missionary! It's pretty cool stuff! I wish i knew what a missionary did before i became one haha!  
This is all the update for now except for the guy we just barely talked to and asked him what his beliefs were and he answered,"i believe in Mermaids... They're beautiful creatures" Lol 
Love you all!
Love, Elder Brady!
NO REGRETS
