I WILL SURVIVE


So I have survived by two days at the MTC.  It's crazy how busy we are.  We were tired by 5 pm.  It's crazy how much is going on. 

My district is awesome.  There are 5 sisters, 3 of us are going to Louisiana and the other 2 are going to Winnipeg Canada.  There are also 6 elders.  I found out that there will be 12 of us reporting to Louisiana, 4 English speaking elders, 4 Spanish speaking elders, 1 Spanish speaking sister and 3 English speaking sisters.

If you haven't guessed by now, I'm in a trio.  My companion's names are Sister Steele who is from Sandy and Sister Lindstrom from Rexburg, ID.  Sister Lindstrom was supposed to report in May but had surgery then found out three weeks ago that she would report today. 

So I found out that the Elder Skousen is in my zone is the one I was supposed to find for Granny.  Well, that assignment was easy.

Sister Steele, Sister Lindstrom and I were called to be our branch music specialists.

Mostly I've been exhausted because I have pretty much zero free time and  trying to live by exact obedience - which is a lot easier said than done.

We are currently working with an investigator named Jennifer and our first lesson with her will be tomorrow after dinner.  

Oh and Jess was right about the chocolate milk.  It is pretty much all I drink at breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Love,
Sister Brady

It is always hard to say good-bye

Most people hate saying goodbyes. I am one of them. At my farewell yesterday I was saying good-bye to so many people that I won't be seeing until I get home from my mission. Oddly enough I know that in the end the 18 months that I will spend away from my family will make me stronger and a better person.
