Hello family
Well here is your answers mom. Yes I wear my retainers. Yes I brush and floss my teeth. I floss two or three times a day. I brush after each meal, and whenever my breath goes rank. My towel is never on the ground I make my bed every day otherwise it's cold when I get in it. I clip my finger nail all the time. My eczema got worse so I called Sister Creer, she got me medicine. My finger nail has gotten a little better but it still has problems. My skin is clearer. My feet are gross with dead skin from walking all over and blisters but athlete foot wise it's still their so my feet are in bad shape but I put my eczema stuff on it and it helps it. But over all I'm in good health and better off than a lot of missionaries.
This week has been a tougher week but still good. We have not been able to get hold of some of our investigators. So sorry this week this letter will not be as fun to read as the last one. One good thing is I have had many answers to prayers we had a day with really bad weather that night I asked for the weather to be better and it worked that day we had sun even though it was supposed to be even worse than the day before. In the morning I have had troubles staying awake during my studies so I have been praying to help me stay awake and it worked I stay awake during my studies now. I have been praying for your audit to end soon and it did so now it's all better. See prayer works
The big news about Bangor is the stake president decided to change the ward boundaries in a few of the places mainly to dissolve some of the small branches that have been struggling and they did that in our area. There was a branch called Newtownards in our area or district they dissolved it and split it in two gave one area to Bangor 1 (which is my area/ward) and the other half went to Bangor 2 (which is not my area/ward) it's been really hard on the people of Newtownards some people when they heard got up and left the meeting. The thing I'm worried about is their travel on Sundays the public transportation is really bad and does not match up with the ward times. And the Newtownards people will now have to travel 15-30 minutes depending how far down the peninsula they live. Also some of them do not have cars so that means they will have to car pool/ some of our members in Bangor will have to travel and pick them up. All I know is it's not going to be easy going around here for the next while.
With the ward changes comes rumors/new ideas and one of them which has some truth behind it because the idea was brought up by president is the elders in Newtownards will be taken out and Bangor might get a car which means I could possibly have to drive which would be scary but cool at the same time. We will see though it's just an idea still being formed.
I'm sorry this is a lame letter it's been a hard week and I just got back with exchanges with the zone leaders an hour ago and I still don't have my bearings right with my area so my head is all wreaked.
A cool thing that happened I told you that I work at a charity shop on Mondays and sometimes on Fridays I believe. If not well I do for service. But we were working and we had a substitute manger this day and she was from Dublin and she had the coolest accent ever I hope if I come home with an accent it's that one because it was way fun. It's funny because all the things she said were way cool and funny. Example instead of saying what's up you say in Dublin what's the crack. You just use crack for weird things it's their favorite word down there.
Anyways sorry this is lame and I will try to make up for it next time.
Much Love Brady
