The computers are working better today but the keyboard kinda sucks. ha ha maybe you could pray for better keyboards next time though! Things are going alright here. the new comp is ok. We've had some problems the past few days but I think that we have them all taken care of. The problem was that since he is new, he is super over zelous and just wants to do all this stuff and I tried to explain to him that because of how new the church is and stuff and because of the culture things like that just don't work. Things are better now though.

That is way cool that Gma P hit 96!!!!! that's good to hear that she is doing so well also. I haven't looked at the pics yet but since the computers are so good today I will probably be able to look at them so thanks!!!! I hope to get to see her when I get back. I was thinking about it, and I think i'm going to want to do a lot of stuff with her when I get back. I was thinking instead of going to family night things at college (as much as i love them and all) I think I may start doing family night stuff at like a rest home or something. I don't know, we'll cross that bridge when we get there right?

We had some really cool stuff happen this week with inactive members. We reactivated a couple that was baptized in 2003. He worked on Sundays and she didn't seem to care anymore, but we worked with them and things are going great now! She is reading the scriptures every day and really loves them! I talked to Antonio (the husband) about talking to his boss and gave him advice on what to say and how to ask for Sundays off so he could go to church. That human relations class I took in college has helped me so much here! I've used everything from conflict resolvement to how to talk to your boss and tons of other stuff I learned. Anyways his boss agreed to give him every other Sunday off so he could come to church!!! They are both reading and doing super well and we are so happy for them! Reactivating someone is worth more than 10 baptisms in my eyes! We have also found some other inactive members and we are working with them now. It's still too early to tell if they will do good but I think they will.

Things in the branch are going well. We finaly have home and visiting teaching organized! and people are actually doing their visits!!!!! This is a huge deal!!!! I've never been in a branch that has these programs working and they will help reactivate members and keep the branch strong! It was a huge accomplishment and we are all super happy about it! It is a huge step in the progression of the church here and I'm so grateful that i could be apart of it.

We are pretty excited to get our new mission pres. It will be good! I'm sure I'll have plenty to talk about with him in our interview this week! It will be a change from Pres. Packard for sure but I'm way excited for it!

Anyways I better go, I kinda got a late start on email today so everyone is ahead of me. Thanks mom for everything! I love you!!!

Love Brady
