Dear
Mom,
Well it
is good to hear from you. Another week down!! That is so cool to hear you and
dad are having your 30th anniversary. I am sure you are both super happy. I
hope that it is a good day, and I hope you can enjoy each others company, and I
hope the Lambert's and Knight's do something cool for you.
My new
area is Vosloorus 2. It is a township in Gauteng. It is a pretty cool place. I
really enjoy the township life. We are here full time. We share a car with the
Vosloorus 1 Elders. So we walk every other day.
My new
companion is Elder Zebe. He has been on mission for 21 months. He has 2
transfers left. I will most likely be killing him( his last companion). He is a
great guy. I kind of knew him before. I have already adjusted to him well. We
have so much fun together already. I am so glad that he is my companion. I
always get so nervous about getting a new companion. Elder Zebe is from Vegas.
He gradudated in 2012. He is really into excercising, and he is pretty jacked
or big. It is nice because I am working out with him, and will hopfully get
back in shape and loose my fat.
Transfer
day went very well actually. I wasn't really nervous at all. Before the
transfer meeting another missionary came up to me and told me that he was
pretty sure that Elder Zebe would be my next companion. That made me pretty
excited. In the transfer meeting they show you new companion and your picture
up on the screen. It is pretty cool. We only had to drive like 30 minutes after
eating. We are really only like a 20 minute drive from Roodeport and the
mission home.
The area is
actually going very well. There are some great investigators there. We have a
couple on date. We will probably not have a baptism until next week. It is a
great area though. It has a lot of potential to grow. Vosloorus has a ward, so
that is great. There are a lot of awesome members here. Just in our area there
are some great members. I am excited to work again with more members. We have
already been fed a couple times this past week. That is a treat for me coming
from Secunda only being fed like once every two weeks.
I am feeling
pretty good. I have adjusted pretty well actually. This has probably been one
of the easiest adjustments I have made. It is always hard though to adjust to a
new area. I am trying really hard to learn peoples names and the area. I know
it will take a couple weeks though. It is just about getting a feel for people.
I enjoye getting to know new people though. Elder Zebe and I get a long realy
well. I am so glad he is my companion. WE are already really good friends. I
guess I am still adjusting though, but I think in a couple days I will be ferly
comfortable here.
I guess
I have come to see that change is really hard, but it is good. Like on mission
it means I am progressing and getting closer to the end. the more change I have
the closer I am getting to being done. I know that I cannot get better without
change. I hope that I will get your letters because the post office is on
strike again. It is pretty annoying. You said you sent a package also. I hope
that I get both of them.
I did
put some more pictures on. Last week the internet was being stupid, so I
couldn't put pictures on. I still need to find wifi somewhere so I can send the
pictures that i took on my ipod. I only put on the ones that are on my camera.
It
sounds like the trip has gone really great so far. I hope that it will continue
to be good. I look forward to seeing the pictures in a couple weeks. I am glad
that you and dad area able to get away and have fun with good friends. That is
pretty cool that you are on the same time zone right now. That is a bit weird
to think about. I guess it gives you an idea of the time of day here.
That is
cool that Ashley made the boys go up to comic con. I hope that they enjoyed it.
Well I
hope my email gave you some information. Back at the internet cafe there isn't
a lot of time to email anymore. It really sucks. Well have a good week.
Love
Your son
Elder
Brown
