Hey well hello family,
It’s good to hear from you all. It was a surprise to have so many writing. This time even Dusty with his so much to say. Well I’m glad to hear that as soon as I get home I have another great talk to give my first Sunday home. But hey that's okay I’m used to it. I’m just happy to know Jer can be there. But will Amy? Nobody said, I would love to have her if it's possible. Well I’m glad mom you like the new bishopric the only one I know is Bishop Mullen. But I’m sure they will do great.
This email is a bit harder to type up because I had so many different individuals write to me. So I want to talk to you all but it’s hard to. Jer it’s exciting to hear baby is coming along good. I tell everyone here that I’m going to be an uncle soon. And then Grone makes fun of me and says in a baby voice "Uncle Brady". So I look at him with a serious face, like Dusty's are you serious face and say "yup." Jer you’re lucky to be in the young mens, I would like that as a calling when I get home or a primary teacher again, either one would be a great calling. I just hope the stake just does not try to force me to a singles ward. I really don't want to go to one, I would like to just stay in the home ward and just have a cool calling. That’s what they do here in Ireland. All the RMs get called to young men’s, ward mission leader or elders quorum something.
Cody it’s good to hear from you too. Thanks for the update on swimming, sorry to hear you did not make it to state in your individuals, but relays are the best anyways, and you get to do all three now. But it’s good that you’re taking it well. That’s the kind of stuff that shows what a humble person is. You are great and it’s awesome to hear your scoring with the chicks that's the most important one anyways. Remember you don't get to take swim with you to heaven only a girl. Ha-ha.
Dusty Yup
Julie thanks for talking to me more. The entire missionary's thinks it’s so cool that you’re a pilot; I do to too. I hope you get your office position you want. What kind of office position do you want? And for what? Anyways talk to you later.
Mom you again as you can see I do not really want to make any big plans. I like the idea of a cruise. And just think you can use all that saved up money in our piggy bank to go towards it. Remember that was the idea. Man I’m going to love it.
Well investigators and all that jazz. This week has been the best week we have had together so far. Grone and I also just had our moves call and we are staying together. The next moves call will not be until a week before my birthday. So Grone and I have some more quality time before us. President was thinking of moving me but we told him we would go home if he did. So he said "wow better not do that." To help us out he released Grone from being the district leader because we were so busy. And that's it.
This week I spoke in church on keeping the commandments. I just got up and spoke. I had a few bullet points and some scriptures written but that's it. I was supposed to speak for 20 min., but the first speaker did not show up so they told me 30. Well I did the best I could but we still ended 5 min early which I don't think is a bad thing. To go along with that we got 5 investigators out to church. Peter, Christina, Carline, Flo, and Janice. It was an awesome day you could tell the members were well impressed which made them love us even more. I did not put them asleep with my talk so it was even better. We also taught 20 lessons this week so our leaders are all impressed with us. Like we care; Grone and I just love the people we are teaching and want this area to be the bomb that's it.
So many missionaries have talked bad about this area and it’s not even true. This area and the entire member really rock. The only thing the members could do better is their fellowshipping. If they were more outgoing in talking with them rather than us introducing them it could be one of the best wards. Also the bishopric is good they just need to have their meetings more often. But the members are so good to us. Dinner appointments every day just about and food given to us at church. They come out with us if we call them and ask. It’s so good. See elders have had this bad mind set about the area and so they come here and survive it and don't get the work done. But we have all sorts of stuff happening we are going nuts and need help with it. I just wish we had some other people to help us.
Well the weather has not been too great it snowed again, but it’s warming up now and the skies are blue today. Grone has been out just over 17 months coming up on 18. Driving is fun and I’m all used to it no problem. I don't even get butterflies anymore when I’m behind the wheel.
Well I love you all; this is a very long email and needs sending
Much love
Hugs and kisses
Brady
