So
this last Tuesday Gladys Knight and her SUV choir came to Baton Rouge
for two performances. Sis Baird and I were able to go to both. It was
awesome. They were bold in talking to the African American people there
in away that us little white missionaries would never be able to...no
matter how black we feel/act. Well as part of the program they had referral cards for a package that had a copy of the Book of Mormon, a
Restoration DVD, and a sampler CD. In the ward I am in we received 9 referrals and Sis Baird and I contacted every single one of them. It was
awesome! We had one that isn't in our area but because she put her P.O.
Box the office elders thought she was in our area. Nope, but we
contacted her and she seemed super interested. Another lady told us that
after seeing that performance she decided that she wanted to join the
question. She knows that in order to do that she needs to join the
church and it gets even better, she is willing to relocate if she finds
that the church is where God wants her to be! There are so many miracles
pouring down from heaven because of that performance.
Also
Sis Baird is learning just how graceful I am...hurt my ankle twice in
two days. Stupid uneven Louisiana ground. But I am fine, I can walk and
nothing is broken.
Oh
we fed the elders yesterday....that was an adventure. We made spaghetti
and come to find out one of them doesn't like spaghetti. The prime is
what one of the elders said when he first got it:
"Sis Brady what is in my spaghetti?"
"Meat."
"Ya, but what kind?"
"Ground pork." (I couldn't find any Italian sausage so I used ground pork and Italian seasoning.)
"Hmm never heard of that before"
Well
come to find out the elder that doesn't like spaghetti is alright with
mine because I don't use hamburger, eggs, pork chops, and ribs. ( He
served in Covington once upon a time, and there is a less active
family that uses those things in their spaghetti.) I also made
applesauce chocolate chip cookies, and just did the easy way with the
spice cake mix. The elders liked it, which was a huge relief to me
because I was stressing that they wouldn't. It was fun though eating on
our front porch.The elders that I serve around are awesome, and I am
super grateful that I am able to serve around them...and I also get to
serve in the same ward that President and Sister Wall are assigned. It
is a lot of fun, and really nice when you have an investigator at church
and the mission president's wife is there to help them feel welcomed.
(Because Sis Wall is one of the most welcoming people that I know.)
But anyways I am loving it here a bit more each week.
Love y'all and hope you have an awesome week!
Sister Brady
Sister Baird, Sister Hill, Sister Garfield and I after service! We had mighty dirty hands!
We
had to move a couch from one house down the street to another so while
Sister Brady sat on the couch Elder Mapa and I sat on the back holding
it in!! (Elder Adkins was the one taking the pictures)
