Hi everyone, September 27, 2007
I'm so sorry I'm late in writing. We had the biggest holiday in Korea here!!! Chusok!!! So everything shut down for 3 days. We weren't allowed to proselyte and nobody could meet for appointments. Hard week. So, we ended up spending Monday with an investigator (we made sticky rice). She's been coming to church for the last 4 weeks, but she's not sure about baptism because she hates her extended family and doesn't really want to live with them forever. Yikes. We're working on that. I asked her if she wants to know if the Book of Mormon is true, and she said yes. So, she's working hard to find out. Let’s see, I was busy this week trying to figure out appointments and how to be more obedient and how to help my greenie and how to help our English lesson people progress in the gospel. As always lots going on.
On Tuesday we went to Kyong Bok Gung, a huge palace in Korea. We went there last year too. We wore our han boks and every Korean there wanted to take pictures with us again. I felt like a princess at Disneyland!!! The Elders jumped really high on this teeter totter (it's a traditional game-you take turns jumping on the ends of the teeter-totter). Sister Tanner really wanted to do it with me, but I'm such a scaredy cat. So we did it, but we didn't even get off the ground. So, Sister Tanner jumped with “Super Star” Elder Mitchell. He jumped on one end of the teeter totter and she flew off and fell on her bottom (good word choice, huh?). It was kind of funny. We watched the best two years. It was entertaining.
On Wednesday we went to the temple. Which was great! I thought a lot about how we are insufficient. But when we lack, God gives to us without reservation. He loves us and wants us to succeed. Thought about that with missionary work...I used to feel like I was never enough, but that's okay these days. God has promised that he will make up the difference. After the temple, we had dinner with our stake president. And I drank an entire bottle of Orange Juice (maybe 2 liters) which made me so sick....I can't even tell you. Don't ever do that.
Dad's letter made me laugh. Mom, I'm so sorry about Scott Bird's truck! That's such a bummer.
So wow, stop making me trunky....I don't know when Dad will get that letter...I hope it's soon so my heart can rest. I love being a missionary though. It was sad seeing all the missionaries returning this time and knowing that I'm next. I'll be sad to miss the mission talent show at Christmas too. I was hoping I could tap dance. I'm sorry about Julie Shaw's seminary class. [Julie has a wonderful but rambunctious group of boys in her class – Michelle’s brother Kevin included – I teach the other class]. You know, I had a class about like that in Springfield. It sounds tough. I'll definitely put her in my prayers. I saw some pretty funny tapes on disciplining when I did seminary training. I'll try to remember the tips. It's hard to teach when you're short. Nobody took me seriously.
I love you all!!! Please have the chorus ready when I get home....=)

Hey there Tess!
I miss you so much!!! Sorry you were having a rough time. Don't worry, after the rough times, God sends blessings. He's just trying to help you get closer to him. Tess, you can always talk to me!! I love you! And I'm always here! And so is God...remember that prayer is always the best option. I finally got pictures from you guys. You looked so cute at the prom. I'm about out of time...got to run to an appointment. Praying for miracles these last few weeks!
Luv,
sister Brady
Hey Mom,
Thanks for sending the pictures of Dad's birthday! I showed my English class, and they wondered why Dad had tape on his nose. I didn't even recognize Kevin in the trek picture. Time is flying. I miss you guys a bunch!!!
Love, me
