Brad's Mission

Sup familia!

It's good to read you!

First off before I forget.
Chad: Yeah, can I get a number 1 [Cd's(Projector and TheShow)I'm out and people are begging] with a side of Protein(<for reals though) and that'll be everything!
Thanks!

Spring Fling? You guys will have a ball! Vegas is cool. Just remember, those mexicans aren't handing out pass-along cards!! haha that was probably bad sorry! haha
No but that sounds awesome! That's cool that you guys always do that and I can honestly I'm glad to not hear this year about the details of what's about to happen! haha I know it sounds cleche but what happens in vegas, MUST stay in vegas. Ya feel'n me?

Baby special olympics sounds hilarious! haha How many injuries? I can only imagine little baby hockey. Sounds intense!

Ha you guys might find this kinda cool. At 4 o clock today I'm going over to these less-active peoples house to help out their son with pitching and to help the dad(manager of the team) with some drills for practice and stuff. They are probably either my favorite or at the least second favorite family in the ward. Super cool. really young. Just awesome. The Rodriguez family. Their son Brandon is 9 I think? And he needs some help on his pitching so they asked me to come work with him. Pretty fun! I'm excited to play again. Don't worry! It's p-day!

Ok so check this out! We had a lesson with. We tell her the same exact thing every time. She complains that she hasn't gotten an answer yet, but she isn't reading and I would be willing to bet she's not praying either. Bottom line she's an A student and she's giving a C- effort. So we tell her everytime. If you want an answer this is what you have to do. This is the way God set it up. Not us, God. And then the next time she says the same thing. But Bishop had an appointment with them both. They set it up. So they went in and Bishop pretty much planted a spiritual load of TNT under then and blew them out of the water!! They admitted that they are still on the fence about everything and Bishop told em straight up,"Stop swimming in shallow water. You gotta get in the deep end of the pool with both feet. If you sincerely want what you're telling me you want, then stop sitting on the fence. Jump into this with both feet. Come to all 3 hours. Read and pray individually and as a couple everyday and embrace the gospel for at the least 8 weeks and if you don't feel the spirit by then, I won't push you anymore. But you have to give it your all. Now, are you in or not?" They both thought about it for a sec and said,"Ok we're in." They met for a solid hour and a half, but that pretty much sums up what went down. SO COOL HUH? Straight up rebuke session! It's exactly what they need right now. And then yesterday then went to all 3 hours. So they are coming along.

As far as the other investigators go, it's been kinda slow for them. We taught Sister jackie again and she told us that she wants to be baptized on her birthday march 4th. So she is working towards that. We're really excited for her because when we first started teaching her she was smoking, but she has even picked up a cigarette in 2 months! The only thing is she drinks coffee but she said she'll give that up too. So she's comin along! She just needs to get to church. 

So it rained like nuts the other day and it's been kinda cold ever since. Reminds me a lot of Fall in Utah. Just cold enough for a light jacket, but just warm enough to roll the window down.(If you're in a car, which I'm not) It rained cats and dogs last week though. We got drenched on the bikes! But it's always fun. The street were like rivers. and it was cool just to ride through them. We were drenched within like a minute of going outside. So hopefully it warms up here soon! 

 

Hmm I think that pretty much sums up this week!

I love hearing from you all! Thanks so much for writing me consistantly! It means a lot!
I miss you and love you each! 
You're in my prayers!
