Jun 12, 2023: The dream PDAY

 Hey yall! Happy Monday all yall. This week I've got just a few minutes cause we've got pday with President and we don't want to be late!

It's been a great week and basically everything has been improving a lot! We found lots of new people to teach, some great new families who are all progressing a lot! It's been a great experience just seeing the blessings of missionary work pouring into our lives!
Some of the best experiences have been with families. This transfer we have focused a lot on finding and teaching whole families that can progress to the ultimate goal of a temple sealing and an eternal family. We have found so many who are interested especially a family of Guilherme and the family of Sidiney, we are so excited to work with them and we ask your prayers for each of them!

Anyways, hope yall have a good week! The spiritual thought this week is simple! I want you all to think of what blessings have come into your life because of your eternal family? I have seen countless blessings but I want you all to think and ponder on this question! I testify that families can be forever through Heavenly Fathers plan!

Anyways love yall and have a great week! 
Elder Bradshaw

  Hello friends and family happy Monday! I hope you're all doing super well. Sorry about not getting an email out last week, but I'll try to recapitulate what I missed. Also a fair warning that the emails might be a bit shorter than they have been but I promise to send a monster when I get home. These last two weeks have been full of miracles and some good times, so ima just give a lightning round! LIGHTNING ROUND We had 2 of the best lunches of my mission last week. The first was a churrasco with some members from the south that was delicious. The second was humongous beef filets with mashed potatoes. It was amazing I'm staying here in saquarema for my last transfer with my comp Elder Donato, we're excited to keep pushing it We got a new housemate, Elder Lima, and he's freaking cool, he's 26 and served in the armed forces for 8 years.  We did a monster hike this pday of about 10 miles round trip. We have been working a ton! We found lots of people who are inter...

And it was super awesome yall should take the time to do it EXCHANGE #1 My first exchange was with Elder Brito we spent 2 days getting on the grind together and it was fun! We found a ton of people, taught some great lessons and taught English class too! The most memorable moment was when we gave a lesson to a group of people about keeping the sabbath day holy! We had one friend of ours leave the room saying under his breath "this has to be the true church there's no other option" and it was really really cool. EXCHANGE #2 I also got to spend a day with one of my best ...

Apr 24, 2023: Scavenger Hunt 2.0

 So there's a list of names and addresses of members in our ward. But this list is at least 5-10 years old. Our bishop was a bit worried about this, so we offered to help a little bit! And let's just say it's been probably the biggest scavenger Hunt of my life hahahaha.  With a little map and a ton of effort we've been able to find and teach many many inactive members. It has been really awesome not going to lie. We have lots and lots of desire to help these people return to activity in the church and help them continue along the covenant path! Anyway let's highlight some of the best moments! EXCHANGESSS This week I has the opportunity to stay with a brand new missionary Elder de Jesus! It was way fun haha. We actually got our phone stolen on that day too so that was an interesting story, but after that we just went out with paper and pencil and went finding. I helped him learn some new ways to contact and teach and it was a blast! We also went to see a family who h...
