Hey family so here are a few of my photos with Jonathan in them. At lest I think they are. My only problem is I can’t see them when I attach them so I have to guess, but they should be him.
The week has been a good one we did not teach as many as last time but it was still a super week with the baptism and everything. We still can’t see André and Cecelia yet because her mom is still here; I thought she had left but not yet. We have an appointment to see them on Thursday the 5 of November but chances are I could be gone by then; which would really stink cuz I would really love to be there for it. Cecelia has only meet Johnson once when she came to church, and André has never seen him before. It would just make the transfer over much easier.
It’s now almost week five of this move and we change in week six; it’s really weird to think about how quick it is going. There is a pretty good chance I will be moving; I hope if I do I go to Clondalkin but I have no power over that. There is still the chance I stay but it’s just not as likely. The other great thing about Clondalkin is having been there before so I know the area pretty well and I know the members already so that will help out. Where ever I move is a possible last area for me it’s weird to think that.
Well tell Cody he needs to be looking for girls for me to date once I get home. Since all the girls I know seem to be getting married already or going on missions. I won’t know any girls when I get home. Its crazy loads of the missionaries here that went home are already married my friend Dinning just got married on Thursday. And a few others like Barber, Milo, Ridge and more. Milo has only been home a few months and is engaged to the girl who waited for him. Mom you will have to tell me about any other girls home I know that has gotten married.
On Sunday I confirmed Jonathan I was so nervous. It was like being on the blocks for the 400 free relay at state and you are swimming up against the fastest swimmer on the east high swim team. I could actually feel the adrenaline pumping into my blood my whole body felt really hot and tingly but once I put my hand on his head I calmed down. I said all the necessary parts but once I came to the blessing I couldn't say what I wanted to well; but it all came out and went well. Bishop commented on the blessing afterwards. Jonathan afterwards looked a bit goofy cuz there was no way to wipe the smile off his face. He was just so excited. He says he can feel the spirit so strong now. We visited him yesterday he says he can really feel it help him in his choices and his deeds he has no desire to do evil at all. He basically bore his testimony about what Christ said its exactly supposed to do. It’s so cool he is going to be such a strong member in the ward a great asset to them.
Mom I loved the package you gave me thank you very much for it all. I have eaten just about all the candy now. But not by myself I have shared it with all the elders who have come over. I still have the bat left to eat. But I don’t know he looks a bit scary to eat just cuz when I look at it, it kind of makes me feel a bit gross cuz I’m eating a bat. I have used the bleach trays a few times now the top fit great and the bottoms ones they work but they don’t stay on super well but I can still use it. When I get home if I can I would like a new bottom one.
Well I love you and miss you all, time is sure flying by. Love you all talk to you next week
Hugs and kisses
Brady
