November 4 - Week 7

MITCHELL SOUNDS VERY GOOD AND UPBEAT- EXCERPTS FROM HIS FAMILY EMAIL AND A FEW PICTURES OF HIS FLAT (APARTMENT) 
Had a Halloween  meeting with Elder Bednar  and it was very cool. So he pretty much stood at the pulpit and taught a class. We could stand and ask questions the whole time. My district sat on the front 2 rows, so i was right in front of him. This was very cool to be so close to him, and I could deffinetly feel of his presence. Most of the missionaries met in one chapel, but the missionaries that are way up south were in another chapel, and they recieved it by broadcast. This was such a cool experience. After our distract went to a resturant called Spur, and ate unlimited ribs and wings for our Halloween party, this was very fun.
I have been blessed a lot because I have not been to homesick. I do think of home a lot, but not in a bad way. 
The weather here is very nice. It gets pretty hot some days, but if it is really hot in the morning then we know it is going to rain latter on. The rain is very nice because it keeps it cool. It isnt too much of a burden when it rains because of our car full time. It doesn't get too cold either.  So i do drive every other day. We trade off every other day. Our car is a piece. It is a Chevy Aveo. The cars here are so week, and the engines are so small. I miss my fast car. But i have gotten used to the left hand side of the road. Even in my dreams i dream i am driving on the left side. But driving isnt to crazy. Just like home. This week has gone well. Kind of a slow week because we went to the missinon office twice this week. Once for new missionary orientation, and the other for Bednar. So this made our number of lessons this week pretty low. But we have one very great investigator named Partson. He was supposed to be babtised the end of this month, but we ran into one problem. He was tribally married in Zimbobwe, so it is not legal in South Africa. So we are trying to get him to pay Lebola which is like giving cows, and then get a marriage certificate so he can be babtised. We have a few other investigators, but not any that are as good as him. I am deffinetly being blessed, and the spirit is guiding me. I am being comforted, and not missing home to much. I am getting into the work well. 
Love Elder Mitchell Brown
