Brady is flying to Mozambique today. He'll arrive there on Wednesday around 10:30 am their time which is 9 hours ahead of ours. Brady's experience in the MTC has been wonderful, amazing and testimony building. He has been well prepared for what lies ahead. I took Kent to the airport this morning to fly to Kansas City. As we pulled up to the curb, a big blue bus pulled up behind us. The door opened and dozens of wide eyed, smiling, excited missionaries began pouring out. We held our breath and our hearts pounded as we anxiously looked for Brady. He wasn't on that bus. It was amazing to watch these missionaries so excited and ready to go serve the Lord. Many of them were jumping up and down like little boys. The enthusiasm was overwhelming. What an amazing Royal Army!

Brady called from the LA Airport. He feels ready and is excited to go. He really believes he has been blessed with the gift of tongues and thinks people will be able to understand his Portuguese. He's not so sure he'll be able to understand them though. He says he's probably learned as much as he could in the MTC other than memorizing more vocabulary. He's ready to move onto the next step of learning through living in the country. He's excited to be on his way, well vacinated, well taught and spritually strengthened. Remember him in your prayers and we'll post the picture and e-mail we get from the Mission President when Brady arrives.
