Week 23 - February 10, 2020 - Snow, Snow, and you guessed it, more Snow!



Hello hello hello!! Its been an amazing week yall! So sit down, buckle up, and get ready for this ride of a lifetime (its probably not gonna be THAT exciting for YOU, but it was for me!) 

This week started out pretty rough, not gonna lie... we weren't finding ANY new people, and it felt like everything was starting to fall apart. We couldn't meet with Chase, or Peyton, and it seemed like everyone was falling off date for baptism. I was so mentally exhausted, I didnt even know how to process everything. 

But, even with cancellations of lessons, miracles truly did happen! Patrick was doing really well and we were able to get everyone squared away for his baptism that Saturday! We got to meet with Brixton for the first time in FOREVER. And we have appointments scheduled with everyone to meet and we are hoping to put some people BACK on date for baptism! 

The biggest miracle that happened this week was that by Saturday we had found NO new people. We prayed for an opportunity to find new people at our appointments that day (because ALL of them were back to back). We went to our appointments and... WE FOUND TWO NEW PEOPLE!!! One is dating a members daughter and one is a brother of a person we are teaching!! AHHH WHEN YOU HAVE FAITH THE LORD PROVIDES!! 

And now onto Patrick's baptism! It was so so SO amazing!! He was so excited and we had a hugeeee group of people show, which was amazing. So many teenagers came and so we were able to share a message that was specifically for the youth! It warmed my heart❤ and Chase came to the baptism, so he got to see what it was gonna be like when he got baptized. So many tender mercies happened this week. I feel so blessed. 

My testimony that God provides when we have the faith that he will has grown so so much. I know for a fact that God wants to bless us, we just need to trust in His plan and His timeline. Which is super hard sometimes... I'm not going to lie. BUT God knows what's best for us and His other children. Rely on Him and believe in Him. He is REAL. And be grateful for the things he gives us! Because he really gives us so so much. I love my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ because they have brought hope and peace back into my life:) 

I love you all so much! Thank you for the emails, love, and support. You are the reason I am here on a mission! 

Love, 
Sis Brady❤

Ps. I turn 20 on Thursday??? Send help and advice ðŸ˜¬

Week 22 - February 3, 2020 - Vincil Like Pencil

Yo yo yo! Its Monday AGAIN! Honestly though, this week went by pretty slowly! It was Sister Davis' last day on Tuesday, so we said lots of goodbyes:( 

BUT I got my new companion, Sister Vincil!!! And she is awesome! We teach super well together and we feel like we have been companions forever! 

This week has been full of so many miracles! We picked up Chase to start teaching! He is 14 and such a wonderful kid! We taught him the first lesson and then we invited him to be baptized! HE SAID YES!!!! It was so amazing, I almost cried! And then we also put another kid we are teaching on date for baptism!! 

Patrick is also getting baptized this weekend! We are so excited! February is THE month yall! The Lord is providing and I am just glad I can be of some use in his hands! 

Can I just say I love missionary work? It's seriously the best thing I ever decided to do. Serving the Lord for 18 months is hard but so so so worth it! I love Utah! Especially Saratoga Springs! 

I just want to bear my testimony on how the Lord has a plan for each and everyone of us. A year ago, this was nowhere in my plans for life, but now I am so happy I am here. I honestly cant imagine doing anything else with my life. I know without a doubt that God needed me here. He has blessed me so much since being on a mission! God is real. God is good. And Jesus Christ loves ALL OF US!!! 

Love you with all of my heart! Send pics and emails :) see ya next week!

Love,
Sister Brady💕
