Another week come and gone.
Weeks just keep blowing by. I don't know how to handle it. It's crazy.
I think the time system just changes when you are on the mission and
time just goes by even faster. Everything is going good here in Calle
Calle. I am glad that you could all see where I am here in chile.
I
am going to try to answer all the questions that I possibly can: Yes
Mother, I stay dry so the rain has got nothing on me ha. Yes, we are beginning to find people to teach. The hard part is we find a lot of
people who don't want to progress, but want to tell us what they think
about God ha. But yes, we are finding people to teach. It is a ward
here, and oh boy, is it small haha! There is about 20 people on average
which is pretty rough but we are working on it ha. I don't see Elder
Anderson a ton but at least every Tuesday which is cool. I love that
guy. Yes, it is the son of Mike Frost ha. In our house it is just me and
Elder Contreres. I feel just nice and cozy there in our house. It is
bigger than our last one which is funny because we were 4 there and now
we are just 2 in a bigger house ha. We live on the street Uruguay. Yes, I
have a different Mamita. She is good. I really like her, she is very
loving. We walk most of the time. We don't use too much colectivo. I
have no idea the names of the bridges ha sorry. Ok there is all the
questions ha.
Wow, some good news from home this week. I
can't believe Dalton is engaged!!! I am not going to be there to see my
cuz get married ha! I can't believe it ha. His bro won't be there either
ha. That is crazy. Thanks Mother for keeping tags on the girls there.
Keep doing it. Tell them to go lock themselves in their rooms so that
the returned missionaries don't go chasing after them ha. I can't
believe I am going to be 20 in a bit either. I still need to learn a lot
before I get old haha. Wow, Jordan hit his year mark just barely. That
went by fast. It wasn't long ago that we were all over there crying like
little babies because we were being separated and we had never done
that before. We were all tied at the hips haha.
Well, a
little on this week. We did awesome with teaching. We taught a lot.
Thanks in part to a new convert, Abraham, who leaves with us like every
day to give his testimony. He is awesome. He is 19 and is waiting for
his year mark as a member so he can go out and be a missionary. He is
awesome. So, for something I learned this week. It has to do with the
same thing that I think I have shared before: 2 Nephi 2:14 - two kind of
people in this world, those who act and those who are acted upon.
Creators of circumstances and creatures of them. Host and a guest. Just
like a host is running around and making things happen. We should be the
same. We should make things happen. Get to work and be an actor. A
guest are those who sit and wait for things to happen. Those who say
"why did this happen, why is this hard?" I have found that when we act,
do, and make things happen is when we are happy and successful. When we
are doers we do what makes us satisfied. When we are guests we wait for
things to happen to us and in the end the turn out is never what we
hoped for. Be a doer because that is the only smart thing to do. It's
the only thing that makes us truly happy.
Love you family so very much. Thanks for all your love and support.
Love,
Elder Brown
Lacee,
I
was waiting to hear from you! That's so cool about your friend's
baptism. There is nothing better than that. Tell me about yourself Lace.
I want to hear about your life right now. Oh, by the way, without fail
all my comps have said they are going to marry you haha! Every single
one ha.
Love,
Elder Brown
Britt,
Sounds
like the trip was a good one. I just want to give those two little boys
the biggest hugs and kisses. Tell Blakey happy b-day from me and give
him a big squeeze. I sure love those boys. Send me a pic of the progress
on the house k.
Love,
Elder Brown
