Father's Day Week and St. Thomas

Dear Mom,
HOLY COW MOM! YOU GOT HIM A TRUCK!!! .....I want to be a Dad now... HAHA THAT IS SO SWEET! HE DESERVES IT! 

Wow sounds like a ton of fun with the RMs sleepovers and BBQs. So there is a Lan-ia (Landon and Malia) couple over there huh pppffftt I laughed so hard that is just so cute!

 Okay here is the info you have been waiting for... or I could send it next week I guess...on second thought I won't unleash an anger mom on JJ's Birthday.

I have been transferred to a small town called St.Thomas only 36,000 people here haha good thing we cover other towns too, I would go crazy! Speaking of crazy I hit another town of literal crazy people. There is a shut down mental institute in town except for the forensic psych ward luckily enough. Every now and then we bump into some real dandy crazy people, makes life interesting I guess. I do really like it a little more than Toronto though, Toronto was just traffic with everything, including people on the streets. The last couple days have been full of trackting, and here in such a small town there is a lot of rejection haha So I get demolished here pretty quick at times, but it always just gives me really funny stories about people to write in my journal...so totally worth it. At the end of the day I lay in bed and say "Elder Bradford why is it that 4/5 people like to argue and yell at me?" his response "did you know that 56% of statistics are made up on the spot?" LOL

My companion Elder Bradford is another Utah boy straight from Salt lake city, yay another American to sing star spangled banner with in the morning....poorly of course. Haha got to keep up the tradition. Elder Bradford is the district leader here and he has been out for 7 transfers. That makes me so excited because I get to focus on my own personal work without all the stress of being in charge of other people, and still hold the title of seniority as a missionary! (I am 10 transfers in if you haven't been counting). I really like Elder Bradford we laugh and laugh every moment of the day and we got hit the pavement hard each day. 

A miracle that we had this week, well we had an appointment at Tim Hortons with a guy that never showed up so we went outside and right at the door we contacted a guy named Ed and he was interested. Later in the week we saw him again and he said that he invited 2 other guys to join us in our meeting this week, SO SICK!! As we were talking with Ed a lady came by named Jen who started to just join the conversation as if we were talking directly to her, she asked "who are you?" "we are the missionaries!" What's that?" "Well we talk about God and Jesus Christ" "I am not interested"....and so after we continued talking to Ed and asked for an appointment and his info and then Jen mimics the things that Ed says and told us she would see us later. Hahaha. 

The ward seems to be super nice, we get fed here very well. BONUS!!

I got some Pics you will enjoy 

Love you tons!
