July 15, 2009 - Letter

Received two emails because Brady’s email account from the church went down on him before he could read ours. He was finally able to get it open and then responded to us.

So I was not able to read your email this week because myldsmail logged me off in the middle of an email to Katie and will not let me sign in again. I have had enough of myldsmail not working for me so please for now on send emails to my hotmail account.

Well this has been a very cool week, the first thing you will notice is that I have photos attached to this email that is because I went and bought a “thinger” so I can send you stuff now. It was cheap, well cheap for here, it was 14 euro or however you spell it, but next week hopefully I will have it all figured out so I can send some videos to you. The first photo is of Elder Sheppard, the other one is the Blennerville Windmill by Tralee.

Well Elder Shep and I have been working really hard and a lot of things were not going so well. A good number of people we teach have been going on holidays. But because we kept going we lead the district in number of lessons taught this week,
that has not happened to me since Bangor. So that was really cool. Yesterday the most exciting thing of all happened. We went to talk to a guy named Andréa and his wife Scillia. I introduced myself to them, they don’t speak English very well cuz they are from Hungary, but he speaks fluent German as well and a little English. Scillia speaks some German and better English then Andréa. Well while we were talking, Andrea starts talking to Scillia then she says he wants to ask something after a minute, so she translates and says that he wants to join the church. He has read the Book of Mormon all through in German and the gospel principals’ book all through in Hungarian. He feels its right and wants to know what it takes to be a member. I am going to get my first baptism! He smokes and knows he has to quit but does not mind, he has been working and getting off them for awhile. The only thing that really is stopping them right now is that they both work on Sunday and they have not been to church. Scillia is not ready yet to be baptized but is working for it. Here in Firhouse the people we do teach are super good, they are all prepared but each one has one thing that holds them back its just getting pass that and they could all be baptized it’s so crazy. I asked president for a good area and I defiantly got it. and I could not ask for a better comp Sheppard is so good. Great teacher, friend, and all so I’m super happy again.

Well that has been really about it this week. Sorry it’s short but time is short again because I had to screw around with myldsmail before realizing it won’t work for me. I love you all so much, pray for Andréa, Scillia, and Paul. those are all the ones close to baptism.

much loves hugs and kisses.
Brady


So like I told Cody I am emailing again cuz I was not able to read yours the first time. I will answer a few of your questions. First the watch fits great dad got it right on the dot. I would not want it any other size smaller or bigger, so good job on that one.

I have not met your friend but I met Kate, Clark's aunt. They came to our church this Sunday. Kate told her to have an eye open for me and wouldn't you know it she showed up to church and I was there.

Brother Pratt was not my teacher but one of my good friends. He knew me and that I was a swimmer and everything. I really always wanted to be in his class but never got there. It’s sad to hear about that. Stuff like that happens here often. Most of the Stake Presidents and District Presidents have gone less active or against the church after they have been released. It’s a sad thing but it happens. I really hope everything goes better for him and his family I have met them. I will keep him in my prayers also.

Well I love you all and glad I was able to read the email. Send them from now on to hotmail. I love you all. I need to go.

Brady
