B-Rad is in the house! 12/26/16

Merry Christmas Yall and a Happy New Year!! So this week has been crazy! I went on a trade of with another missionary in Navarre it was so much fun we had like 13 missionaries in one apartment haha. 3 of them were over like 250 pounds lol big boys haha. Anyways so we had a big mission conference it was so much fun! We all had to come up with a skit and it was hilarious I was in tears! Then I got to see some of Melissa's companions aka Sister Kinghorn. I am standing in the hall at this mission conference and I see her but I wasn't sure so I looked away. Then all of a sudden I hear a big scream... BRADLEE!!! Sister kinghorn like screamed my name and then she was like oops I mean Elder Graham! haha it was really funny, yet awkward because I remember meeting her over skype when we would skype Melissa for Christmas haha. But all I get here is everyone coming up to me and telling me how good of a missionary Melissa is. I'm look cool no pressure haha.

This Christmas away from home wasn't as bad until Christmas eve when I got out of bed at night and went to go pick something up off the floor at night in the dark, and then my mouth hits something. Now I'm in pain and I feel my teeth with my tongue... I just broke my tooth.. on a chair, I was so frustrated! So yall just know I'm just trying to embrace the culture! hahaha. No I'm going to go get it fixed tomorrow so don't worry haha. My family on Christmas sent me a lot of love and I am so grateful for them! Thank you for everyone who sent me a Christmas card or who is sending me a package! They mean so much! My Christmas morning was awesome besides the chipped tooth, our investigator or what we call a (gator), she got baptized Christmas morning! She came a long way! She used to smoke 2 packs a day she is about 70 years old but she used the atonement and grew her faith in our savior and read the book of Mormon! She is so awesome!! I was able to speak at her baptism and be a witness and after the baptism when she came up out of the water she said "I feel free". The spirit was so strong! My niece kambree Graham just got baptized on Christmas Eve so I couldn't stop thinking about this amazing opportunity I have had this weekend to feel the love and the spirit so strongly during this Christmas time!

My companion and I get along so well. We are both sarcastic so it works out haha. He is a great trainer and the work in our area is going great!

I love all of yall so much! I pray my family, ward family back home, and friends. I think about all of yall so much! I miss seeing all the acai squad! Anyways I love yall! Have an amazing week and New Years, stay safe and keep the savior close to your heart always!

Love, Elder Graham
