Everything here is going great. We had our district conference and it went well. We are still teaching Portuguese in exchange for food at the Taylor's ha ha man she makes amazing food!!!! And we are still working with inactives and the branch. Everything is going well, and I'm glad that everything is well with you guys too. We did have another thunderstorm, but this time we didn't go up as high as we did, the first time we went up on the water phlat, this time we stayed at the top of the stairs ha ha but it was still really cool. We got really wet but it was fun. I did get to see a lot of the people I taught in Matola because of the conference, that was great! I saw Galinda, Celso, Silvia, and their baby Crazy!!!! it was awesome! She has hair already!!! ha ha it was fun. That's funny that you are counting the days ha ha! The flight plans haven't come yet but I'll let you know when they do and I'll send them too you. Man it's super werid seeing the mission come to an end. I'm not going to lie, I'm super excited to get home and get going on school, but at the same time I'll miss Africa. Today we played capture the flag on the beach, and while we were driving away, there were a ton of kids just playing in the shallow water on the beach, I just kinda sat and watched them as we drove away and realized that I won't be seeing that stuff everyday anymore. I'm kinda sad when I think about it. Hopefully I'll be able to come back.
This week as I said, we had our district conference and it was pretty good. President was awesome! He talked about the BOM and about Joseph Smith's quote that it was the most correct of any book, and that we can come closer to God by living its precepts. Then he talked about Nephi's saying about how there are only 2 churches, one is of the Lamb of God and the other of the devil. He talked about how Nephi wasn't talking about churches as we see them today. He said that we don't just become members of the church of the Lamb of God by baptism or confirmation, but by living the precepts of the church or the comandments, rules, counsels ect... He talked about how even people who are baptized aren't part of the church of the lamb, because they don't live the comandments, and if we don't belong to the church of the Lamb, we belong to the church of the devil. It was really good I enjoyed it.
This week we weren't able to get as much done as last week, we had zone conference and activities and stuff. But it was a good week. We are making some progress with inactives who haven't been showing much promise lately so we are pretty excited. It's really cool to see how the Lord's hand is in his work. People seem to have experiences that push them back to the church. It's really cool to see the spirit work in people. Anyways, ya everything is good here. I'm glad to hear that everything is good at home too. Thanks for everything! Love you!
Love Brady
