Yo yo yoooo another week has come and gone and honestly, it's not okay. Where is the time going?? I feel like I just left like yesterday. This is weird. Ahhhhh.
I just wanted to say thank you for all the emails and the prayers. I have definitely felt them and they have helped so much! I love hearing from you guys and getting updates from back home! So again, thank you!
This week has been wonderful! I don't even know where to begin! We met with Thanya again, and we invited her to be baptized... and SHE SAID YES!!!!! AHHH IT WAS SO COOL!!! I am so excited for her, and as long as there are no complications with her parents, she will be getting baptized in just a couple weeks! It is so amazing to be able to watch her journey with God and Jesus Christ happen. That's definitely a perk of being a missionary!
We also started teaching someone new which is super awesome! Her name is Ruby and she is just the sweetest thing. I look forward to seeing how that goes with her!
I mentioned this last week, but Transfers officially happened and it was sad to see some of our district and zone go, but the new people are awesome and it will be fun getting to know them! I am just glad that I'm staying with my super awesome companion. She rocks!
One of the coolest things that happened this week though was that last night we had a "Why I Believe" devotional. This is a thing that our mission president started, where he invites someone to come and talk about their conversion story to the gospel of Jesus Christ! And we got to hear from Tony Finau and his wife! For those of you who do not know who that is, he is a professional golfer who just got picked for the Presidents Cup which is rad. But honestly it was the most amazing event I have been to. We brought Thanya which was super cool and me and my companion sang the musical number (YIKES). It went well, but I was super nervous and we sang it a capella hahahahah BUT IT WAS A GOOD EXPERIENCE! And I got to shake his hand which was groovy. Man, the spirit that was there though was absolutely beautiful. I wish you all could have been there.
In the spirit of that wonderful event that we had last night, I would like to share why I believe. I have had my ups and downs in my life just like every person, and I have made my fair share of mistakes too. But I will say this, I have never felt more peace in my life, more guidance, more joy in my life than when I am trusting in God, putting my faith in Christ, and living the commandments. The world screams at us that certain things will bring us happiness, but if those things aren't in line with the commandments of God or are contrary to the truth, the will only hurt us in the long run. I've learned that the happiness that the world offers is only temporal. The joy that Christ and our Heavenly Father offer is eternal. It will always be there. Through stormy days and happy days. It is simply always there. I have felt that and know it. And that is why I believe!
I love you all so so much. Please send emails and pictures! I will try my best to respond (sometimes days get busy)!!!!
Love,
Sister Brady
