February 10

So this week has been super eventful! It was zone conference!!! SO WE GOT IPADS! Whhhaaaa??? They're so awesome. So all of our area book and our scheduling is all online now in this special app. It's great. So now we don't have to lug these huge binders around all the time and write a whole bunch of crap down. It's sssooooooooo nice! We're the 3rd mission in the WORLD to get them!! I guess the 1st presidency just trusts us a lot ;)

But anywho.. This week has been hectic.. We had trade off's which were super fun! I went with Sis McCleary. She was super helpful and gave me a lot of awesome advice about not comparing and there isn't one set way to do things. So that was great.

Something that I've decided while tracting... I HATE BEING MISTAKEN FOR JEHOVAH WITNESSES!!! Always. I went tracting in this neighborhood for the first time ever and this guy was like "Now y'all come by a lot.. like 3 or 4 times a month' (no we don't because the elders don't go there and we've never been there) "Y'all are Jehovah Witnesses right?" NO! I'm not.. I'm not. We're the Mormons. I don't know if that's any better in your eyes.. But whatever. haha. It seriously happens every single day. DO YOU NOT LISTEN TO WHAT CHURCH WE SAY?! Anyway... We correct them.. Always haha

Anyway. Awesome story. So we picked up an old investigator, Jane, a couple weeks ago and she came to church last Sunday and BORE HER TESTIMONY IN FRONT OF EVERYONE IN HER JEANS! Then she was invited to a play group that a bunch of ladies do and they were all so nice and anyway.. haha and then we've had a couple lessons. Anyway.. Our last lesson, I invited her to be baptized and she said yes!! WWWOOOOHHOOO!! My first bap invite and they said yes!! It was so good. I'm so excited for her! She'll probably get baptized 1st week in March. Yaaayyyyyy!!

We also had an awesome lesson with the Wall family at a members house the L fam. They're so great! It was the daughter in the wall family's birthday and so they bought a pie and put candles on it and had ice cream and everything and she just turned 12 so she went to young women's yesterday and loved it! yyyaaayyy! But yeah. I love the L fam. One of their daughters is my freaking favorite. She's hilarious.. and loves Taylor Swift. She's 10.. Almost 11. She was telling me all about her birthday party that she's having and how it's going to be olympics/ taylor swift because it's the 22nd winter olympics? And then T Swifts song 22.. anyway. She's a hoot haha

I just want to say thank you for the packages!! I got both of them! And I also got one from Misty haha. I'm going to be so spoiled. I'm going to expect tons of packages from now on... haha Just kidding.

Also next week is transfers!! WHAT?! I've already been out for that long?! Craaazzzyyy. But that means our P day is on Tuesday.. So I didn't want you to freak out when you don't get an email on Monday haha.

But this week has seriously been so much better! I loovveee reading the Book of Mormon. I seriously can't get enough. I've been in Alma for the past week ish and the past couple days I've been going through Alma 20-36... It's amazing! If you haven't read it lately.. Read it. Now. It's aammaazzinggg. I love love love the scriptures. READ THEM EVERY DAY! It makes your day so much better. I swear. I can't get enough of them. I'm serious. I read them for 40 minutes of my personal study haha.

But I love you all!! I seriously can't ask for a better family(: I love you guys so much! I'm going to be sending pictures... From my ipad(: hahahah So just wait for those! Love you!!

Love,

Sister Bradford

Here are some photos for the week:

There is this neighborhood called sutton lakes that each section has a British name and Bradford is one of them! Whoop whoop!

Confederate flags hanging on the carports.

Zone Conference

The ducks here are hideous! They look and act like the devil! And they follow you around. 

All these were driving to zone conference, which was in Fernandina Beach. It was gorgeous! Looked way more southern than the area I'm in now.. When we got closer the fog was INNSSAANNE. I didn't get a picture, but we do car inspections... So we all pulled into the parking lot and there were 3 rows of cars all lined up... But uh... No other outlet.. So every single car had to be backed out from the parking lot into the street haha. And Zach and maybe dad will know what that means... hahaha.
