Week 42 - October 19, 2020 - BOOMING believer

 Hey. Hi.

This will be a short email. I don't have a TON to say. I love being a missionary. God is so good. This week was awesome!! And I love my Savior! 

I am so grateful for this past year and the experiences I had. I gave a talk about this yesterday, but honestly, it has not been my year emotionally (has it been anyones???) But I've only felt my testimony grow and my love for this gospel get deeper. Jesus understands me. I'm never alone thanks to his sacrifice. My life is better with Him in it:) 

Nothing has changed this week but I love you all!!!! You mean the world to me!!!! Stay golden, ponyboy

Love, 

Sister Brady

Week 41 - October 12, 2020 - Silly Bean

 Welcome back to my channel! 

Transfers happened and I got a new comp!! Her name is Sister Vela! She is SO cute and fun! She is also from Oregon (St. Paul) and we get along great! Already love her. I still live with Sister Hart and her new companion, Sister Howard. It makes me happy:) I love 4 pads!! 

We have seen SO many miracles happen lately in our area! We found 5 new people to teach this week and put someone on date for baptism!!! God is SO good. Also, can I just say that I love bringing people closer to Christ and helping them find peace??? Like, that is so rad that that's my job right now!! 

Oh, our district made a goal to eat 1,000 eggs in the next 6 weeks as a whole. So far, it's going pretty well! Hopefully the eggs dont kill us!

I have been feeling so focused on the work lately, and it has felt SO good. God is so good!!! I love being a missionary. I feel like sometimes its hard to commit to certain things for me, but this gospel is one thing that's always been easy to commit to. Because it's true. And I've felt that. How lucky am I to know who I am and where I'm going? Doesnt mean my life isn't hard. But it does mean that life is a little easier knowing that God and Christ are on my side:) 

I love you all so much!! Thanks for everything!!!

Love,

Sister Brady

Week 40 - October 5, 2020 - Is for meeeee???

 another week bites the dust. 

Transfers are happening and I'm staying!!! Yay!!!! So pumped. 

this week wasn't super crazy or anything. hermana brown and sister hart were cooking soup though and we have a lid piece on our blender that's missing, SO they decided it would be a good idea for one of them to put their hand over that hole. the soup was boiling hot btw. ssoooooo basically hermana brown puts her hand over the hole and sister hart starts the blender and hermana brown BURNS her hand. it was not funny, but at the same time it was hilarious. i am still laughing about it. 

also, general conference this week was amazing!!! so many inspired talks and so much talk about unity. I love it. honestly, there were so many things that i needed to hear. one of the biggest things was the talk about finding joy during this time. it is so easy to focus on the negative and to not know how to respond to it all. but there are so many tender mercies and blessings that have come from this pandemic. I am so grateful for the time i got to spend with my family back home. i am grateful for this opportunity that i get now to help people find peace during this time. 

i love this gospel. i am so blessed to be a part of something so beautiful. i love you guys. stay safe. 

love,

sis brady

Week 39 - September 28, 2020 - shooty kabooty big booty juudyyyy

 Heyyyyy!!!

So this week has been good!! we found someone new to teach which is AWESOME!! She is super cool, so I am hoping that all goes well with her!! 

This week we had a zone conference which is the BEST!! We ended up going to the one across the mission because our mission president and his wife asked us to sing our Where can I turn for peace/Be still my soul mashup!! It actually went a lot better than I anticipated that it would. I get so nervous singing in front of people, so I was really proud of myself. 

Speaking of being proud of myself, I made a meal for me and the sisters in my apartment!! I made Cincinnati Chili and BREAD. AND IT ACTUALLY TURNED OUT GOOD YOU GUYS!! I am so happy. I was very stressed. But needless to say, my fasting clearly worked out for me. hahaahh jk but also not. I am not a cook. 

We did exchanges this week and that was kind of fun! I was exhausted by the end of the day. It was fun to get to know some of the sisters! It is definitely weird to be an STL (sister training leader) right now. Wish me luuuucckkk. 

I have been thinking a lot about my missionary purpose. These past two weeks have been insane and I have been so overwhelmed by different things. The only thing that I am really certain of right now is that I want to be a missionary. I want to be here in Utah helping people grow closer to Jesus Christ. I am happiest when I am working on my relationship with God. And right now, I am perfectly okay with that being the focus of my life right now. I am so lucky to be here. It was hard being home. I will never take being a missionary for granted again. God truly does bless us. I can testify of that. 

I love you guys!!! Thank you for everything you give me!! 

love,

Sis. Brady
