First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! It is 2020! What the actual heck. I turn 20 in a month so that's weird! But so happy to start my new year on a mission!
This week we had some amazing lessons! We even got to put someone on date for baptism for the end of the month! Please pray that all goes as planned! But seriously, we're teaching some amazing people right now!
We also did a ton of karaoke this week. Ok we have someone that we are teaching who got a karaoke machine and we helped them set it up. And we may have gotten distracted with it a little bit... but dont worry! We taught them a lesson too! And it went well! Something that I have learned though is that it's so so so important and possible to have fun when doing missionary work! Because it's the best!
We had to be in early on new years eve and me and Sister Davis were TIRED so we passed out super early that night. Totally worth it though because extra sleep>>>>
Me and my companion have been working so hard on getting the stakenleaders involved more and having coordination meetings and it is finally happening and we are so excited. This is seriously a miracle, so thank you for your prayers! We really think that this going to improve the work in the area and I can't wait! Miracles are gonna start happening! I can FEEL IT!
I went to my first Mission Leadership Council meeting this week and it was terrifying, BUT all went well and I survived! We set a baptism goal this year for our mission and it is... 851!!! We love this goal because it's a 25% increase AND it shows that every person matters! We are a numbers mission because Jesus numbers His sheep! And I love it!
We got a new message to share with the members here as well, and it focuses a ton on the First Vision that Joseph Smith had in the Sacres Grove. The prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has invited us to read the First Vision account in Joseph Smith History in the Pearl of Great Price as preparation for this next general conference! So me and my companion did it together! And it is amazing!
President Nelson has also asked the question, How have the events that followed the First Vision made a difference for me and my loved ones? I've been thinking a lot about my answer to this question and the answer is so simple. It's made everything different! I have been given the knowledge that my family can be together forever because Joseph Smith restored the true gospel to the earth! I know my Savior and the peace and joy he can bring into my life because of the restoration of the gospel. The events that followed the First Vision are the reason I am serving a mission and I feel so much gratitude for the prophet Joseph Smith for what he endured and what he did for this church. I am so blessed to have the Book Of Mormon and the knowledge it has brought into my life! I LOVE THIS GOSPEL!
I love each and everyone of you! Thank you for being an amazing support system! And shout out to the people who read my emails, y'all are why I write them!
Happy New Year!!!! (and happy 4 months to me!!)
Love,
Sister Brady
