May 31 Whats up Brady

OK next time you tell me something like that don't wait till the end of the letter. That scared me a little. Wow Brady I never totaled a car. I guess you are now in the same category as Alyssa. I am glad he is OK. He has one hard head and it pretty indestructible. I want to see a picture of it if you have one. Hey Brady don't try to tackle the truck save it for football. Try to hit people not cars. lol..

Well this week was slow again. But we did hear a story from a guy we were working with. His name is Jeff. Jeff is a member that has kinda been on the wrong path but we have been teaching his girlfriend. Well Jeff was riding his motorcycle he had a prompting to keep riding he went around a corner and saw a little kid playing in the street on the other side of him and a car coming right at the kid. He could tell the other guy wasn't paying attention and didn't see the kid. So Jeff started waving and everything but the other guy wasn't paying attention.. Jeff had a feeling to lay the bike down and it would get the drivers attention. So he did . The guy finally looked and stopped . He still didn't see the kid he almost hit. Jeff started pointing then the guy finally saw the kid. Jeff had some scraps on his knee but he didn't care. He felt so good to help the kid and how he felt prompted to help the kid. We helped him to understand how Jesus works through us here on the earth to help others. It was cool because he learned how good it feels when you get to be a part of something like that. He is really changed because of this experience he wants his girlfriend to get baptized so they can married and sealed in the temple. It is really cool to see people get it, when the light turns on for them.

So glad to hear everyone is OK. Wow Ethan it sounds like your doing great in baseball. So Brady is starting football. Hope he stays safe and healthy.

Everyone stay healthy and happy.

Love you All

Stay Classy
