Hello Family.

Well life has been really good, the work is going well. We have been doing loads of tracting because Elder Aitken likes to tract; which is not my favorite to be honest. Elder Headington wore me out on it because he tracked too much. With Elder Aitken it's a lot more fun because he feels no need to argue with people like Headington did. This week we have been contacting a lot of former investigators trying to see if they would be interested in seeing us again. This week we have also found one new investigator named Martina Burke. Martina is married and has 3 little boys, which is the most ideal family to find. We found her tracting and she let us in the home. We taught her a first lesson and she said we could come back Monday, but on Monday she was not there. We hope she just forgot and did not mean to do it on purpose.

Elder and Sister Mulholland, the senior couple here, have decided to work with us better, which has made us very pleased. They have given us a few less actives to work with. Less actives are my favorite to work with, so this makes me happy. I love the inactive because I have had success reactivating someone in each area I have been in. One of the less active we are working with right now is a 17 year old boy. This one I can tell will be tough, but we can try to get him to shoot for a mission which will help.

Well I guess I should talk about Elder Aitken; to say his name it rhymes with bacon, so just take the b off of bacon. He is from Ogden, Utah and is 19. I am his second comp and we have been getting along really well. Most of the branch thinks we look a lot alike; as if he could be my older brother, I look like I’m 14 and he looks about 24 because he is a hairy monster. He has Austin Powers hairy chest, blond hair and blue eyes. His first area in the mission was Mount Joy which is one of the easiest areas in the mission, but has an apostate ward. So Tralee has been a bit of a shock to him. But it’s great we both love to read books, talk about movies and books, so we have been having some good times.

Well Dr Jerame, wow that’s crazy- a Doctor, he can help me in school again! Yes! Well I’m glad to hear everything is going well out there. I’m glad to hear Julie liked New York, that’s really fun. I was really hoping to go out there with Jer and Ames to visit again, but you make it sound like they are going to move so I guess that won’t happen, oh well. Here in Ireland it’s not that uncommon to have 6 missionaries in a ward but we never have 8, that’s too many for any ward or branch here. We had this past Sunday an old missionary and his wife come visit the branch. His wife is a Mormon singer, a pretty famous one from Utah. She sang for us and so did Elder Mac, but I wish he would have stopped because his voice was just noise that got in the way of his wife’s voice.

Anyway I have run out of things to say; I love you tons, hope you can get those pics back.

Much loves hugs and kisses

Hello Hello.

Well Ireland’s top news stories Moves call was last night. Moves come and go so fast for me I don't even notice when they sneak up and hit me in the face. Well Elder Frye is going to be moving. He is moving to Lucan which includes my old area (Ballyfermot). He is also going to be having Elder Byrne’s as his new comp. So he is super excited for his moves call. My news is not so exciting I’m getting a newish Elder named Elder Atkins I think that’s how it's spelled. Next week I will have proper spelling name where he’s from and all that stuff for the website. Anyway he is really strict and my buddies in Dublin didn't like him. I am also his second comp which means I’m the new bad guy who does things wrong from his trainer. I’m trying to stay happy and optimistic with him but as you can see I'm not too happy with it.

But cool story for you Sunday at church a random investigator just showed up to church. Afterward he came and was talking to us. He had talked to missionaries earlier who made an impression on him so he decided to go to church, and he wants to be baptized. I told him the things he is going to have to do like listen to the discussion and so on. But it’s crazy cuz it’s an answer to prayers. I have been asking for something to excite me into mission life again and in walks Liam. So I’m super stoked for it. I think this moves is going to be good for help me, but might be hard as well. But it’s going to help me out loads.

Some other cool stuff Johnson my boy. Is now a zone leader in Dublin and so are a couple of my friends. The mission is really changing for the better; the cool kids are the leaders now which are going to make life so much more fun. But I’m losing some more of my best buddies who are going home Elder Williams who helped me out loads in Ballyfermot when I first got there is going home, he is a legend in the mission. Dinning left last moves. And I’m losing two more the next moves.

I’m sad to hear the news about the Ashworths and Toby that's too bad. The neighborhood is not going to be the same when I get home, has anyone moved while I have been gone?

Things I would not mind having if you would; can you get me a Brightling watch at canal street it’s not a necessity but loads of missionary have nice watches and I would like a nice one as well but other than that nothing really. The main things I want in the package is the album, slippers, face stuff, and some blades for my razor mine have gotten old and are pulling my hair out of my face. Anything extra is up to you.

Well I love you and I don't know what else to write so I will get off.

Much loves

Brady

Well hello

It was fun to talk to you on the phone and now I get to write to you. So you will be so updated on what’s going on I won’t need to write you again for weeks. Just kidding mom. Well I had my year mark party it was very funny. We burnt a suit two shirts two ties and trousers. So it was a very large fire that took a long time to go out. Especially since we used Kerosene (I don't know if I spelled that right but I don't know how to spell it) to start it. So it lasted a really long time but it was still really cool. In scouts I wish we used that instead of gas cuz it lasts longer and is just as good at starting. I have it on video so once I get how to send videos I will do that, there is a lot of funny videos I have. Right now I have the other elders here, it has been really fun with them since the weather is good, the plan for pday is to sun bathe and play risk. I hope I win but this is only the second time I have played so it is going to be difficult. Afterward we plan to go to Hillbilly’s Chicken for some food that is just like KFC but with not as many good things.

In the photo album if you can send even a few newish older pics from Lake Powell that would be good. Cuz the ones I have are of me when we very first got the house boat and it really does not show any of the other people. And the other will be good as well. Tanks so berry berry much.

Well I’m not sure what else I really can or need to talk about sorry it’s a short one. I know all my fans out there on my web site will be sad, cuz they did not get to hear the phone call and this is short. So sorry to the fans. Well much love to all.

Brady

Well hello. So I made a bet with my companion about if the first thing in my letter would be about the phone call well I won so he owes me a milkshake from McDonalds. Alright to get it out of the way we will be calling from the senior couple’s home I will call you with the number and you then call me back just like for Christmas. It will probably be around 10 your time. The Mulholland’s are pretty strict so I hope we can talk for a long time. I don't know what will happen.

We had interviews yesterday it was alright. He was being really tight with his information this time so we could not get any information off of him. It’s funny because he is really horrible at keeping things quiet. He would be bad at telling what presents are for Christmas. But this time he kept quiet. After all of the interviews we went to the BYU singer’s concert. It was fun to talk to people from home again but they talk to slow so it was kind of annoying. They only would talk on church subjects and about our missions or their missions. As dad would know we really just want to know what’s going on in the real world back home. But oh well it was still fun. The singers were really good, they did some really cool stuff with their voices I never knew could be done.

I look forward to the letter or package your sending yes by post I mean mail. Sorry it’s another word here that I don't even recognize anymore. So are the pictures of the family or ward or both? Anyway I look forward to it. Speaking of packages did you send the year mark one off? I’m sure you did cuz your good at doing things on time unlike me.

Well I hope Jer and Ames will be able to come over. Like I said I even have president approval for them to take me to lunch and spend the afternoon with them.

Well Linda stuff now. Like I said we have just really only been working with Linda. Well she has been improving loads like I said. I told you last time everything she is committing herself to do. Well last time we were over was Monday and we were just hanging out with her, it was family home evening. She decided to play scrabble we were having loads of fun but she started to pull out Irish English slang terms because she is a cheater. We are super good friends with her and every Monday she finds some way to cheat because she is a natural born cheater. But you can’t mess with the super Frye because he is too smart for that kind of stuff and beat us all by 30-40 points and in the end I beat Linda as well for second by 10 points, so she learned her lesson; don't mess with the elders because you will lose at scrabble.

Well hello family.

I woke up this morning and really could not believe how quick the time has gone. I really can’t believe it has been another week already. I hope it continues to be like this cuz then before I know it I will be on the plane home. Not that I’m trunkey at all. Well the week really has not been that exciting really. It’s just been another week. A few really funny experiences but that’s about it. This week Elder Frye has been the center of attention. First off yesterday was his birthday so he has been the one with all the post and all the happy birthday stuff. But hey that’s cool! But to start the really funny stuff. On Friday we had two funny things happen. On Friday we teach these kids stories from the bible and have a family home evening with them. Well they have a two year old daughter named Hasia. Well she kept jumping on Elder Frye’s back and then giving him kisses on the check, lips or anywhere she could get. While I was there he got 5 kisses from her and the mom just laughed and the other kids kept encouraging her to do it. We were all laughing at it but Elder Frye you could tell was a bit nervous about it. After that we went over to Linda's house and were having a lesson with her. She gave Elder Frye a present. He opened it up and got two boxers and a cup. But the funniest part of it all was Linda got him a large and extra large boxer to wear and she told him not to be getting to cocky with them. She didn't know that the sizes had to do with your waist size, she thought it had to do with the size of the man’s "package." It was super funny. Also the boxers have writing on them one of them says "weapon of mass seduction" and the other says "my girlfriend says I don't listen or something like that". They are both pretty funny.

Well Linda has been really improving she is a funny girl as you can see. This week she has been getting hit hard with some trials but she says she is committed to stay strong. She has committed so stay chaste. She also is working on language, smoking, and prayers. So she is making leaps and bounds. She still smokes but smokes less she says she does not like swearing and is really trying to quit. And she committed herself to the law of chastity. We talked a lot about it and she says it in her best interest. She works at Anne Summers which is similar to Victoria secrets. She is in charge of putting on parties for the company and selling stuff at them. So giving that up was really hard for her cuz of the environment of her work. But it’s all good now. I’m super proud of her! She even tells people she has us up and defends us when they put forth all the crap people say about the church. So she is cool.

Yes mom I have my Easter package, I ate it in two days it was good. And love the cds thank you very much. We have not been able to have the party yet because we have not had the other elders over yet. Also it has been raining a lot lately, so fire and Ireland rain does not go too well. But it sounds like in two weeks we will be doing it so I will tell you about it not next week’s letter but the one after. Mom you’re going to be mad about how much money I spent this month sorry. It’s been bad. One cuz of the trips to Limerick, food, and my shoes ripped out. My running shoes gave out two weeks ago. I was using a shovel and the side ripped on the shovel and cut my foot so the shoes where no good any more so I had to buy new shoes for pday and service. Sorry for that. I want you to know I’m trying to be good with money but because Tralee is so far away from the rest of the other elders I have to travel a lot and it takes most of my church funds and then I have no money for food so I have to dip into personal funds. Sorry.

Well I love you all and I’m proud of you all. I hope dads butt gets better and Jer did a good job on his test. I hope Jers award he receives from school is a good one nothing to scary. Much loves

Brades
