Dear
mom,
It
sounds like it has been an adventure of a week. I am glad you got rain, and speaking of rain we got a very
small shower one day, and surprisingly it still smelled good. I guess it is
fire season again, sorry it is so dry.
It
sounds like you did a lot of fun stuff this weekend. It has been a while since
I was at Foote ranch. That is good that Blake had fun on the horses. I want to
do stuff like that more when I get back. It sounds like panguitch cabin was fun. I am excited to see
pictures of panguitch cabin and improvements you have made.
That is
cool you got to talk to Ryan Foote about this mission. I think I knew he was
here, but I kind of forgot. Yeah Secunda is a pretty hard area. Especially the
other guys working here, Eldrer Barton and Willimbe. They only had 4 lessons
this past week. They are in the harder area. But my area is still pretty hard.
President Omer was pretty strict about some stuff. He basically made our while mission a walking mission. We
have to park the cars and walk everywhere in our areas. I really liked
president Omer though, but excited to have President Dunn.
I forgot
that dad and Blake were going to Dominic Republic. That will be a fun adventure I am sure. I hope all goes well
for them in travel and doing dental work.
The
meeting with the Dunn's was awesome! They knew exactly who I was. They were so
impressed with you and how you traveled all the way from cedar to hear them
speak at their farewell. They were
so touched that you came all that way. I am grateful you went and
met them. I think he will be a great president. He seems like he will be
very relaxed, and not so strict.
That is
cool that you were able to talk to Downs and Mike McNett about South Africa. I
have been thinking and I probably will just stay and start school spring
semester. I also think it would be very cool for you to come pick me up and go
around and do some fun things.
The
weather had been pretty mild this week. During the day it is very nice. I just
wear short sleeves. When it gets dark it normally starts to cool off. I
normally carry a sweater with me to put on when it gets dark. We normally don't
stay out much after dark though. I haven't had to use my long jacket at all. I
normally only use that in rain, and it is dry season right now. Speaking of that
I am sure all the Down family saw when they visited, was dry grass. It isn't
green at all right now. It is just ugly and dry.
I have
watched a few World Cup games just at people's homes. I have been following it
pretty close, and we ask everyone about it. I was really sad that the US lost
in overtime. It is weird to think that the World Cup was happening here 4 years
ago.
I
haven't heard anything about iPads being used here at all. I think it would be
too dangerous. They would probably get stolen.
The
teaching had gone ok. Still do not have any solid investigators. We are still
finding people, which is no fun. I
wish the work here happened like it was supposed to, and members would give
more referrals. We have some good lessons in Evander this week. Our most
promising investigator is named Lorraine. We put her on date for baptism this
week. We also found out she has a daughter. She is an 18 year old girl in her
12th grade year. Also in Evander we found a cool young family. Marsha and
Aldrige Van Roii. They are colored, but mostly white Afrikaans people. They
seem pretty solid. They have 2 little boys that are probably younger than 5. We
have been knocking a lot of gates also! This isn't too much fun.
I am
glad Calvin and Carson look up to me. I am not the best example, but I am
trying. I asked dad about that grill for the car one time, so I'm glad Calvin
talked him into it! Ha Ha.
Look forward to a picture of the Cadillac.
Are transfers
are 2 weeks from tomorrow. I will most likely be leaving here, at least I
really hope so! I am getting sick of Secunda, and I need a new start.
I hope
that everything is going well. It is always good to hear from you, and just
have a piece of reality. I hope you are doing well, and not missing me too bad.
I hope you are having a fun summer. I love you.
Love
Elder
Brown
