Well I only have a couple of minuets left on the computer so I will have to make this short, but all is going well here. The work is definitely progressing and keeps us on are toes and you never know what you are in store for when you walk out the door. Yesterday was a particularly a fun day. We went to church and everything and we riding are bikes up to a less actives house and I hear this running noise behind us and all of the sudden this big German Shepard is right behind my companion and so I take off and it was fun needless to say, this was the first time this had happened to either of us. Then about a mile down the road it happens again only this time with a pit bull. By the end of this we were pretty exhausted and got to the less actives house and just sat down and rested for a second. But hey these are the stories I will one day get to tell my kids in the very distant future. Well hope all is well with all of you.

Well another week came and went. It is honestly scary how quick time goes. I can not believe I am emailing again. It is really weird. It feels like yesterday I was doing this same thing. The weeks have turned into days and the months to weeks. Better make the best of these last 17months. Well where to start, this last week was by far the busiest of my mission. We had all sorts of stuff going on, we were teaching finding, talking and a bunch of other things. It was fun though. It makes time go by even quicker. We have transfers coming up here 2 weeks from Wednesday. I know I have said this before, but I am pretty sure I am leaving. Maybe.... At the rate I am going I will probably serve my whole mission in Franklin, which isn't a bad thing. I might have to start paying taxes or something but hey. I love being out here at this time and in this place. I honestly can not think of a better place for me to be than here. I am constantly amazed at the miracle of the Saviors Atonement and all that he continues to do for us on a daily basis. I never really looked at things they way I have been able to out here. The work continues to progress and go forward. I hope all is well with everyone back home. Love you all and hope everything is going great.

Braden's update for September 10th, 2012

Well how is every on doing this last week. I don't have tons of time to write so I will make this a brief email. The work is going great and I am loving being out her in Indiana and it has been pretty interesting being out here during election time for obvious reasons. Tons of people know about the election and so naturally they ask us who we are voting and we give them the missionary response that the church is politically neutral. Which reminds me, Side note hey dad can you get me and absentee ballot. I would like to vote since I now am old enough. Well back on topic. Well hope all is well back home and enjoy some pictures. These are some pictures from a famous Military base Camp Atterberry. They have some old historic military vehicles thought you would enjoy.
