In my first letter I had
written a lot more about the year mark and a lot more about how I feel.
Now I don't have a lot of time to do so, but I do want everyone to know
that I sure am grateful for this time out here serving the Lord. I feel
that I have grown so much and that I have learned a ton. There is still
much to be done though, so I am very grateful for the coming year and I
expect to put in everything that I've got.
We had a
meeting as a zone Friday and learned what we could do better and we did
a lot of role playing and practices. Mother, I am sorry to say that
package has not gotten here yet. I am thinking that I will get it
tomorrow. Friday night we were able to go to Natali and Guillermo's
wedding. She is the daughter of our old Mamita and we are teaching
Guillermo and we hope to be able to help him get baptized. I felt out of
place as a missionary at a wedding reception. It was in the church
though, so I felt a little better. I made sopapillas in the house the
other day at night and they were pretty good. Friday morning Elder
Jensen brought me out one with a candle on it and he sang me happy
misson birthday! I just turned 1, how crazy is that! Ha, I also made a
tie out of paper and wrote some stuff on it and we burned that for my
year mark ha. It was pretty good. I will have to send pics next week.
Sorry
about how bad this email is. My first one was super awesome! My
favorite part about this week though was the chance that we had to visit
the Patriarch and his sick wife twice this week. The first time I was
able to give her a blessing and the second we were able to give them the
sacrament, and in that house I felt one of the greatest Spirit of peace
that I have ever felt. I could not really hold in my emotions. As I
gave her the blessing it was very hard for me to control my emotions.
The Spirit was very strong there. It made me want so badly to have that
same Spirit in my home when I have my own home. What an amazing feeling
it is. Also, I felt the Spirit strongly testify of the truthfullness of
the sealing power that is found within the temple. I know for sure that
that couple was sealed for all time and eternity, and even though that
little old lady might pass away, that her husband and her will be an
eternal unit forever. I know that is true. I felt it stronger than ever
within that house. Wow, am I grateful for that. It was an amazing Spirit
and experience. Well, sorry family, next week's will be better. I love
you all. Thanks for all your prayers.
Love,
Elder Brown
