Hey how is everything going?
Well mom this was a good email and I do enjoy your emails when they’re long; it’s my favorite part of pday, to read the email not to do the emailing. I only do it cuz then you would get after me if you did not hear from me. Ha-ha. Well I want to clear a few things up really quick. Mom for some reason you seem to think that as soon as I get home I plan to get married; if you must know I plan to be un- married for at least two years. And maybe I will start to date more seriously then. I also plan to go with Johnson my boy to Hawaii and pick pineapples and live as a surfer bum for awhile, and travel the island. So please mom don’t preach to me about waiting. I told Cody that I wanted to go on a few dates with him cuz it would be fun to go with him on dates now that he can. And he knows the girls. Each email you write you tell me about all the good girls he dates and I think I could go on a few dates with them. I love you mom
It’s good to hear about how well Texas went. I can’t wait to go and visit it myself it sound fun and warm which would be a change I could use. Ireland is freezing cold now. When I visit I will probably spend a lot of time at the gold's gym swimming since I will not be use to the heat. To me 22 C is pretty warm I don't know that in F. I miss Jer and Ames it will be fun to hang around with them.
Well this week has been good and really bad as well. The work has been great the weather terrible. In the south part of Ireland it’s all flooded. In Cork the elders don't have clean water to drink so they get it from a truck that delivers it to them all. The mission has been doing loads of service for it to help out. On Monday we went there and spent 11am - 5pm working and it was rough; I’m still sore all over especially my back and arms I just don't have the core strength I used to have. I have really gotten out of shape on my mission. But at the same time I can walk all day and not even think about it twice. It’s weird how my legs and arms have switched since being here. I just can’t wait to be able to swim again for exercise and fun. Even with all the service we have been able to find new people to teach and improve our lessons. Our whole district has been improving as we work, its good I’m sure our district is leading the rest of them. But at the same time it un-fair to compare it that way cuz we have a bigger district then the rest; and our ward is a functioning one too.
Yesterday was really cool we just got don’t teaching a less active family called the Wilsons and we thought we should stop by the family the Addos I have talked about before. And so we did, come to find out the whole family is sick with colds and flues and rashes and who knows what else. Well they are all girls and have no male members of the church in the home, so we gave all of them blessings. It was crazy; in the end we gave 4 blessing with the oil one right after another. I now have those prayers memorized. It was one of the highlights of this week for sure.
I did not keep in too much contact with Matt Call; he is home now, he gave his home coming talk I think last week or the week before. But he wrote me in Bangor and I wrote him back but he did not write me back until I was in Firhouse, after that I thought he is almost home and that it would be pointless to write back so I have not. But his Bird Ashlee waited for him and I suspect they will get married soonish.
Anyway I just can’t think of anything else to write I know this was not a super exciting email, but this week was not. But I’m enjoying the mission, staying wet to the skin, and I have new shoes that cost me 90 euro not too bad, and they are a good brand name too. Best deal I could find.
Much love hugs and kisses
Brady
