Sorry I didn't write last week, my pday got switched to Wednesday, and then our pday was so so busy. But not to worry because here is an email this week!
First things first, transfer calls happened last night and... I'm staying in Saratoga Springs!!! What?? But Sister Davis is leaving :( she is going to UVU YSA (young single adult)!!! She is going to love it there:) and my new companion is Sister Vincil! I've heard good things about her and I'm excited!
Let me think about what happened these past two weeks... we have been teaching a ton which is awesome. AND, we put a few people on date for baptism which is really exciting! February should be a promising month for this area!
I'm a little scared to be in charge of an area for sure, but the Lord will provide a way! He always does! I'm just so so SO grateful I am not training... ahhhh!
Something crazy that happened this week is that Sister Davis messed up her back SUPER BAD. (Like really really bad). She was weightlifting and her form was off and it her back did not like that. We have had to stay in a lot because it's hard for her to do anything. Let me tell you, sick/injured days as missionaries ARE NOT FUN. So please keep her in your prayers that she will have a speedy recovery!
Things overall though are well! I was preparing for a talk that I was supposed to give yesterday at church, (but I ended up getting super sick) and I was reading based on the scripture: "Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not" (D&C 6:36). I LOVE this scripture because so often it is so easy to get wrapped up in doubts, especially when we dont know everything. I was reading a talk from one of our apostles, Elder Ucthdorf, and he said that it was important to doubt our doubts before we doubt our faith. I wanna make something really clear though... it is okay to have questions!! It is okay to not know everything!! But we need to make sure we are relying on God and not on man. We are not going to get answers if we are not actively searching for it. Don't give up on God! He will never get up on you! I can promise that!
I love you all so so so much! You are all amazing and thank you so much for your support! You have a special place in my heart forever!
Love,
Sister Brady
