We ♥ Elder Kelley!




Since we were going to be driving right through Bradly's mission we called and asked the mission home if we could stop in for a quick visit. We didn't know what the answer would be, but considering Elder Kelley would be going back to Montana at the end of his mission, and that we weren't going to be there, we thought we'd ask as see what happened. They said YES, after talking with Bradly. We were so excited. He lives in a tiny little town about 20 minutes from the freeway. We met up with him and his companion for lunch, under the guidelines that our meeting be short and not distracting. We had so much fun! The time went by way too quickly! Right now they are in an area where they are the only Melchizedek priesthood holders in the Branch. A family drives in from a neighboring ward and the father is the Branch President. Bradly's companion's name is Elder Evans and they seem to work really well together. They are serving the people of this small town well and it shows...all over Elder Evan's arms! He recently got poison ivy while pulling weeds at a local church. Elder Kelley dodged that bullet by riding the lawnmower instead. We had such a nice visit with Bradley and wished him the best for the rest of his mission! If any of my Great Falls friends are reading this...please have your families write to Elder Kelley! He would LOVE it!
