Hi ya family,
Well I will fill in the survey first cuz otherwise I will forget everything. So yes I have gained some weight but not recently; I weigh 140 pounds or ten stone. I have also grown; I am 6'1'' now but still looking too skinny; I want to gain about another 7 ponds but I just can’t do it yet. My health has been good Johnson had a bit of a cold he shared with me for a day but I got rid of it quick while he is still trying to finish it off which he is not too happy about. My favorite lesson to share would be the first cuz it’s the one I I’m best at and also it’s a lot more spiritual then the others. But because recently we have not gotten to many new investigators my first is a bit rusty and needs to improve some. I still have a hole in my chest that everybody loves, its fun Elder Johnson wants to see me eat cereal out of it. I’ve told him not now cuz it's too cold to eat cereal out of. Also I need my other hand to stabilize myself with. Other personal stuff is I love to teach member lessons and share spiritual thought it’s my favorite because of the books you have given me so it makes it very easy to do. Also it gets them more involved. I still don’t like tomatoes but I can tolerate them. I like African food especially spicy rice which super. I love Pilipino food and lots of it. Although I’m not too keen on fish heads. Oh and I don’t like to eat my chicken bones when I’m at Africans homes. And president still asks me if I have been swimming on my mission.
Conference was really good. I really enjoyed the priesthood session and the other part I got to hear. But I did not get to hear the last session of conference which was to bad cuz I hear Elder Holland did a great talk about the Book of Mormon. While watching conference I sat next to a Brazilian new convert named Clarisse she is from Sao Paulo and was baptized only two month ago in Brazil, then moved here for school-I think. But she was really nice and liked to talk a lot. She really loves America. She has done loads of nanning jobs in America and from that learned to speak English. So when you talk to her she sounds American rather then Irish English.
So I’m moving rooms again huh- wow this is just crazy. So Cody does not want the basement room then? I figured he would cuz it’s the only time he would get it. I also thought you would keep me up stairs that way when I got home I would always be around you. But I don’t mind the basement I get my own TV that way. Ha-ha just kidding.
Well this week or yesterday we had a miracle. We called up a referral named Jonathan Manning, we set an appointment to see him and he was amazing. He wants to be baptized as soon as he can and also is coming to church this Sunday. He investigated the church three years ago and was impressed but somehow got pulled away and went back to being catholic. When he came across a pass along card he called the number and wanted a Book of Mormon and then from there we got involved and he is great. That means we should have three baptism by the end of this move. We are very excited for it all.
I’m very excited for the package and for Amy I have not seen anyone I know since the lady in Bangor that would swim at my pool. Other then that I have met a few parents of missionaries or co workers from the pool. So I’m very happy for her. I will have to show her around Dublin and things, also probably be a translator as well the accent is hard at first.
Well I love you all to pieces and am doing very well, my hand does not hurt and will not need surgery so don’t be worrying mom, it’s just the same thing as the other two back home. Nothing to stress.
Much loves
Brady
