Letter from Mission President

Letter from Mission President

June 10, 2009 - Letter

Published by Elder Brady Lee Hafen under on 9:19 AM
(I need to explain that Melanie Codner, Amy’s younger sister, saw an advertisement in the newspaper about missionaries and Brady’s picture is in the advertisement. We were a little shocked, so I told him about the advertisement and obviously he knows nothing about it either.)

Hello family how are you all?

Well there were lots of questions asked so I will try to answer them all. The first one is yes I have been trying to sell myself out. My district leader is a manager of some of the play boy bunnies for Hugh Hefner. I told him I would love to try and be an underwear model. I told him about my concern of the hole in my chest he said that would not be an issue with today’s technology; they could patch that right up with photo shop. He said we would need to start off small so he sent my picture to church head quarters to get my image out. My hope is I can get big while I’m still here that way once I get home I can just fall into it.

No I have not got the package yet. It has not gotten to the office yet and that was really sad. Yesterday was zone conference and that was going to be the soonest I could possibly have it. So I hope in two weeks I will have it. I have been telling everyone about it and we are all way excited for it to come. But of coarse I’m the most excited of them all. So soon is the hope.

So speaking of zone conference it will explain the Thursday email. Yesterday was zone conference. We had our area president there so we were forced to have zone activity last week. Which made us change pday as well, but because it was done so off the cuff I was not able to email and tell you the change. So I apologize for that, and for my leaders being so unorganized. But zone conference was really good I enjoyed it a lot. Also on Sunday we had district conference and President Uchtdorf and Elder Andersen of the 12 spoke, so we have had a super conference week this week. And of course it was all really good. So at zone conference we had our area president Elder Oaks, not the apostle but his cousin or something like that, spoke. He was a 4 star general in the US army and is very strict. He talked a lot about planning and keeping things up to date. Unfortunately he liked to pick on me cuz well as you all know I’m not the best at either of those things. Of course he kept it light and jokingly so I was fine with it. But now I need to go home and fix all of those things with planners, area book, and other silly documents of importance.

Now talking about Blake. I have stuff that I have written to Blake and would love to send it to him but I have not had his address. Not his mtc or mission address. I have meant to ask you but have forgotten. So please send me his mission address!!

Well I’ll try and tell about my past week. I have had to run back and forth from Limerick to Tralee this week loads and the whole time I have to do it on the bus. Wednesday for district meeting. Saturday for priesthood session, Sunday session, Tuesday zone conference. So like I have said it’s a two and a half hour bus ride so this last week I have spent it on the bus. The weather took a bad turn for half the week with cold and very wet rains. Unfortunately the people we have been working with have not really been progressing. Linda comes to church now no matter what. Even if the night before she spent drinking and has a really bad hang over. With those days she is usually grumpy. I’m glad nobody in the family drinks that would be really bad.

Well if Cassidy wants to serve a mission she can serve here in Ireland then I will tell president she has to always be in the same district with me and then I can help her out and tell her its okay. I wouldn’t even mind giving her a hug. She would also be able to cut my hair. I’m glad you talked about her I have been wondering what she has been up to. Tell her the next time you see her to give me an email, I would love to hear from her.

Well I’m out of stuff to say I love you all and am so happy to hear from you. Take care.

Brady the model
