May 25, 2022: Not much to say

 Hello all! Good morning from Conceição de Macabu! Hope you all are thriving wherever you're at right now! This week was really good, but also pretty Basic! We really hit a rhythm this week, just finding, teaching, helping, and doing the whole thing!!


I don't even have any ideas for topic headings cause nothing too crazy happened this week, so I'm just gonna do the lightning round haha

We got to do some work with members this week, hitting the streets and doing some contacting and good stuff like that! It was way fun. We also had one youth who is preparing to serve teach some lessons with us so it was pretty epic

Were continuing to teach Vanessa and her family, we marked the baptism of her 2 kids that are old enough! Keep praying for Vanessa, Matheus, and Lucas!

Recently we've found a ton of people in one neighborhood of the city, which is great, but the neighborhood is the furthest one that there is so it means we're walking quite a bit haha

This week there was a change in the presidency of the relief society in the branch, and the new president is one of the most missionary-minded people in the world sooo its going to make things accelerate here, and I'm so excited!


Really there's a ton of work to do here and I'm soooo excited to be able to do it here!! These next few weeks we have some really high goals, so everyone pray for us that we can succeed and that our shoes won't give out haha!

Anyways my spiritual thought this week comes from the Book, our search for happiness, by president Ballard. I loved one part that I was reading when he talked about miracles. "Is the age of miracles over? Not by a long shot. God continues to do miraculous things among his children though the gifts of the spirit."
It is very reassuring and important for me to know that this age of miracles is still on the earth today. We can do anything with the lords help and if we have faith. If we really try hard to develop these gifts of the spirit, we will see the miracles in our lives! 

Anyways love you all!
Elder Bradshaw 

I'll try to take more pictures haha

  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.

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...
