Hola Familia y Amigos,

Wow, it is hot here! It reached a record high this week here in Pangui. Everyone says that it has never ever been so hot here. I would have to agree it is so hot. I sweat all day long. I am always so soaked. Everyone has also told me that the United States is freezing up haha. I think it is just the year of extremes all over the world. I am so glad to hear from all my wonderful family. I sure do love you all more than I can explain. Seriously though, I feel more and more love for my family every day. I have told many people to go on missions so they can appreciate their mom and learn to love their family. The mission has done that for me and continues to do so.

I can not believe that my good friend Jason is home already. Oh how I love that guy. I am so grateful for such amazing friends. I have got to say that God must have known that I was going to need a lot of help to grow up, and so, more than just the most amazing parents he also surrounded me with the very best friends and people that he possibly could. I was and am very blessed for that. If you see Jason tell him how much I love him and that I look forward to pumping some iron together. As well I was so blessed to be surrounded by members of an amazing ward. I can not believe the amazing gifts and acts of kindness that I have received from faithful members and friends. I can not give enough thanks for what they have done for me.

So many people are going on missions I can´t believe it. Hannah is old enough already to go on a mission???? What??? That is so crazy and cool that she will speak Spanish as well. She will be able to talk with her bro. She might not understand him too well because Jake will speak like a Chilean. No one is going to understand me, it's going to be funny. I use so many Chilean words and I don´t even realize it.

This week was a little hard and really crazy but a lot of good things happened as well. District meeting was Tuesday and I talked to our district about how much more we can achieve here in Pangui and I expressed my testimony of the blessings, and more so, the miracles that can be seen with exact obedience. I began to get emotional expressing my testimony because I know how true it is. I have seen it so much in my mission and with out those blessings we amount up to a lot less than we would with the blessings of the Lord. Thursday Elder Cortez had a very tuff day and I gave him a blessing of comfort. I sure hope he can pull through. Friday we had interviews with Pres. and that was great. Sat. we organized a surprise welcome/birthday party for the Ericksons. (it was sister Ericksons birthday) She was so surprised and happy. I just called them and asked if they could meet us in the church to talk about a few things. They had no idea that we had treats and everything waiting for them. They were very grateful. I even made chocolate chip cookies for the shindig. It was a lot of fun. I am so excited to be able to work with them. It looks like they are going to be able to do a lot to help us and I am excited for that.

Well, I love you all but I have to end. I am so thankful to the Lord for his trust in giving me hard things to do. A lot of things are pretty hard for me and I am so thankful for the chance to be able to overcome hard things. If we never had hard things to do we would never develop the attributes that we must develop to become like Jesus Christ. I am thankful for all the challenges that are in front me and hope to always search for the help of the Lord to over come them. Love you all.

Love,
Elder Brown

PS, I can't ask you all to do a special fast with me in the mission, but I would like that you guys could do a fast for me that I can have the strength and guidance to be able to accomplish a few hard things that are part of the work at this moment.

Dear Sister Norris,
I want to express my deep love for my amazing friend Sister Norris. I sure do love you Sister Norris and I thank you for your thoughts, prayers and letters that so often I receive from you. I am always so happy to see an update from you in the mail and I am always so proud to announce to all the Elders who ask me if it is a girl to say it is my great and faithful friend Sister Norris. I cannot thank you enough for your support and help. When my Mom told me what you did for me to help me with my tooth I was so grateful. I will always remember your many acts of great kindness for me. I love you and hope that all is well.
Love,
Elder Brown

Hola Familia y Amigos,  
I am so glad to hear that everyone is doing good there in the cold ha! It's the complete opposite here, we are dying from the heat, but I am enjoying it. I love to hear from you all even if it is just a short email. I just love my family so much, you are just the best family there is. It's always good to hear a little update from good ole O town.
 
Well I am just going to go straight to answering some questions. First, mother my shoes are size 13 and some news about my shoes is yesterday the mouth got bigger haha. It's all good though, we just keep on walking. No hand can stop this work from going forth (dead shoes included.) I want it to be a surprise for Elder Cortez. I think he has a size small or medium, he is really small haha. The bed bugs don't bother me. It's either because they are scared of me or I just don't taste good because I have not had problems. I think they are attracted to Elder Cortez because he is such a city boy. Oh yeah, another funny story about that. Saturday we went to cut grass at the house of the married missionaries that are coming and I enjoyed watching Elder Cortez run around trying to get away from the bees and flys, haha that was funny.  He was running all around in circles and stuff. I will get that dentist stuff done then, even though I don't want to. Our mamita is great; she is a little older and lives with her husband, who does not like gringos, and her daughter and grandson. I enjoy playing with Benja, the 8 year old grandson, at lunch. He is my bud. We have gone running a few times in the morning but mostly so that I can get Elder Cortez out of bed. When it's too big of a struggle to get him up I turn on the lights and music and do exercise inside haha. We have been together 5 weeks now and we will be together for at least 7 more because training is two cambios (transfers) of 6 weeks each. He is still struggling, but the enthusiasm will never go down. We are just going to keep working hard as we can. I enjoyed the news letter. I feel bad I didn't say happy birthday to Wade so FELIZ CUMPLIAÑOS cuñado!!!!! I would also like to thank Aunt Vicky and Lis Rich for the letters. I have like no time to write by hand so I have to just do it here in email. I think that's about all the questions.
 
Today we are in VALDIVIA! I love this place. We had to come to do some visa stuff for the other Elders and I am acting as guide because I am the only one of the four that knows Valdivia and where everything is. So I have enjoyed being here today. This week was a good week. We have been working hard and we have been sweating a whole lot. It has been so hot the last few days. This week was a pretty normal week from what I can remember. For some reason I can't remember much from the week. We did a lot of service in the heat. We went and worked on the farm at Luis and Vitalia's. We were cleaning weeds from their cucumbers. I got burned to death out there, and I even used sun block. My legs haven't seen the sun for quite some time haha. Good news is at the end of this month there will be 3 baptisms in the branch! 1 from the other sector, his name is Nefi or Nephi in Spanish. He is 9 and the son of a less active that is coming back to church. Then the other 2 from our sector; Josefa is 8 and is the daughter of an inactive family that we found and are now very active! It has been amazing to see this family progress and come back to activity. Then, Bastian, the son of Luis and Vitalia, will be the first of his family to enter the waters of baptism and show his parents the example in what they should do. I know that they will get there. The future looks great here in Pangui and I am really trying to work hard to help all 4 of us missionaries get to the potential that the Lord has for us here in Pangui. There is much more that can be done. The people here are awesome. We have been focusing a lot on contacting these last few days because as a whole mission we had developed a paradigm that we all did our contacts in the same way and we always got the same results ha. We are trying more to talk WITH the people and not AT them. It is really a big difference and we have seen the blessings.
 
Well, I think that is all that I can remember to tell you all. For some reason I can't remember much from this last week. I love you all and hope all is going well.
Love,
Elder Brown

PS Tell all my buds that are getting home that I sure love them for their great examples and friendships. 

Sorry I forgot the cable for pictures again haha.

Lacee,
Hey sis, you need to start finding a guy and when you do you have to tell me haha. I love you sis, keep working hard.
Love,
Elder Brown

Caiden,
It's not worth getting kicked out of a game or getting a T for a bad call. I know from experience. Neither is Reffing easy. I also know from experience. Keep playing hard and destroying, but it's always better to do so with the mouth shut and a dunk in their face haha. 
Love,
Elder Brown

Britt,
Tell those little boys I love them. As well, the house looks awesome. I want to have sleep overs over there with those two little guys.
Love,
Elder Brown

Jenna,
Hey, if you move back to Bountiful you have to get me your address so I can write you. As well, you don't have to wait for my letter to write me, hahaha they take forever to get there sometimes. I hope everything is going well. 
Love,
Elder Brown

Hola Familia y Amigos,

I sure do love to hear from all you and hear that everything is going well. I just want to start this right of with the bad news so we can get to the good stuff and also before I forget to tell you. My tooth is a lot worse then I thought. I went to get it seen and guess what happened they told me that a cavity had been growing for some time there. I even believe that it was there before my filling even came out because she said it was pretty bad and had to work on  it right there. The worst of all is how much they are going to charge me to get it finished because it still isn´t finished. They have to do more but all in all its going to be 220 mil pesos or in dollars like 440 bucks I am going to die! I feel that they charge me that because I am Gringo which is awful, but I kinda have to get it done. What do you all think? Please respond about that as soon as possible.

Ok the bad news is over now we can move on. The new year was pretty much normal here except that we couldn´t really work Monday and Tuesday because everyone was drunk or at the beach at the lake. So listen to what we did to still try to be effective because there was no one in there house. We went close to the front of where our house is where everyone passes to go to the beach and we found a big wood bench there in the path and with the chalk that my wonderful mother sent me we drew the plan of salvation on the bench and then tried our best to teach the people walking past about where we came from, why we are here and where we are going after. I have to say it was pretty funny. Probably one of my best ideas so far even though we didn´t have to much success. Just imagine us as the people walking past saying "HEY!!! I drew a picture for you and I want to show it to you, it talks about where you came from and all that good stuff. Will you come take a look at my pic?" Haha it was funny. 
 
This week was pretty good though. Wednesday Elder Cortez and I were able to go and help the marriage missionaries get the house ready for the other marriage that is coming here to Pangui so that was pretty fun. This Sunday we also had about 70 people there at church which was awesome and we found a new investigator that came with his uncle our ward mission leader so we will begin to teach him this week. I taught Gospel Principles and I shared my story of how I learned to pray and I told that I learned from my great parents who I remember would come into my room at night when I was little and we would say prayers together. I also remember when I was in highschool, my sweet mother who I would always find in her room in the mornings saying her personal prayers on her knees. That has always marked me and even more so when I would be heading out the door and my mamita would ask, "Did you say your morning prayers?" When I would say no, she would kindly invite me to enter the front room and kneel and say a prayer with her. I am so grateful for such an amazing example. Now the habit to pray is so much a part of me I can´t do anything before doing my prayers. After sharing that with the class one of the ladies said when you get home you better never fight with your mom ever again because she is amazing. I thoroughly agree. I love you mom and Dad you both have taught me amazing things. 

Now to answer a few questions. I bought allergy medicine mom so don´t worry. Mom when are you going to send the next package? One thing I would ask for is that you could send a BYU T-shirt for Elder Cortez. He told me how he has always been looking for one. That would be awesome. I have vitamin c´s mother so I am pretty good. Don´t worry I am writing in my journal everyday. I have not missed a day of my mission. How could I miss one day of the best two years haha. I finished that big green journal actually and I started another one in another cool journal that I bought in the MTC of Provo for exactly that reason. I am doing great mother enjoying the treats you sent me for Christmas as well as many of the little kids in my sector are enjoying them. 

Well I can´t believe that everyone is getting married. So many, every week a new one, haha! Well if any of my guy friends gets married without me they will get a beating haha. I wonder how long it will take for all us weird guys of my group of friends to get married. We are pretty weird. I don´t know if there are any girls that will want us out there hahaha. Speaking of marriage, Lacee you have to start finding so that you can get married right after I get home. Oh yeah my comp is still struggling to adjust. I love feeling like such a country boy with him as well as watch him try to clean his nice little bed of all the little bugs that eat him at night haha. It's fun to watch him do city boy stuff ha. He is still struggling with obeying. I am trying to learn how to always forget myself and show him that we are not here to do what we want but to do what the Lord wants. Well I better get going, sorry, I had some great pics to send this week but I don´t have my cable. I sure do love you all. 
 
Love,
Elder Brown

Hola Familia y Amigos,
 
Wow pops, I am glad to hear that all is well and that you weren't injured in the accident. That is so crazy. For some reason when I got on to do email today and saw that no one had written I had a feeling that something happened, then, as I was writing president I got an email from you and of course something had happened. I am very glad to hear that all is well though. I haven't got anything from Mom this morning yet, so she will probably mad when she gets this before she is able to write. This week has been a crazy and a tuff one but as well very good. Just pretty much a lot of emotions packed into one week. I will tell you more about it later.
 
Well, from what Dad told me it sounds like the week was a really busy one, and to finish off with that crash I am sure you have seen better weeks ha, but hey, if we never had bad weeks we would never know what good weeks are. As well, we would not be able to develop Christ-like attributes like diligence, patience, faith or hope. This is something that I have been slowly learning here in the mission is to look at all trials, afflictions, infirmites and even accidents with an attitude of "If ........... (something negative) never happened, we would never learn ...........(something positive)" This has really helped me to keep a better attitude and as well to really search for ways to learn and grow from the hard things that often confront us in our lives. So my example for you today is "If there was never black ice on the street we would never appreciate a good nice dry road." I have also found that a little bit of humor never hurts in a difficult situation.
 
My following example is to kinda explain to you all how this last week was. "If we were never tired, worn out, and exhausted, we would never learn how to be diligent." That is the phrase of this last week. Wow I was tired at the end of this last week. I will start from the beginning. Tuesday we had intercambios with the zone leaders, so me and Elder Renshaw in the morning went on a 2 and a half hour bus ride to Lanco, the zone leaders sector, and then Elder Walker and I took another 2 and a half hour bus ride right back to Pangi to start working. Elder Walker is one awesome Elder. I learned a ton from him and we are very similar in a lot of ways, one of the biggest being the fact that we both love fishing. Although he is much more experienced than me on the subject of catching big fish haha. It was a great intercambio though. Thursday the four of us Elders from Pangi woke up at 5 in the morning to be able to take a bus down to Valdivia and be there before ten for a Zone Conference. It was an awesome conference and also I was able to see many of my great friends there, namely my kid Elder Jensen, Rytting, Carmen, and last but for sure not least my mtc comp Elder Cowley. I love that guy. The conference was great and we talked about a lot, but one of my favorite parts was talking about how we can use our agency to become the 4th missionary. Lacee can explain what that is. It was awesome. Then to finish the week off we found out the new transfers and Elder Renshaw is headen south to Punta Arenas and to my suprise I will be training again!!!!! I am so excited to get another new one. We are going to tear things up out here in Pangi. I don't know who he is yet, but I am going to get him Thursday. I am excited. Pres called me Sat. night to tell me. It was funny he didn't tell me before because I saw him so much this week because he was here in Pangi looking at the house for the couple missionaries.
 
Well, I better end so I can put on some pics. I love you all and I thank you for your prayers and support I need them. I love the mission with all my heart and I am so thankful for my Savior and for what he has done for me so I can become better. Love you all.
 
Elder Brown
 
Ps I love the 12 days of Christmas I am opening them everyday and the stories are awesome.

3. The pigs at the house of Luis and Vitalia. Haha I love chile!

Hola Familia y Amigos,

Wow, does time fly or what?! Lacee made me really think about that when she said that she will have been home for a whole year this next month. That is crazy! I feel kinda old as a missionary now, but then again, it seems like just yesterday that I got here to Chile. This week I will also be completing 1 year in Chile, crazy!!!!! Sounds like the Christmas season is in full swing there in O town. It sure is here in Pangi now, considering how fast that three of us got packages this week ha. Yep mom, you don't have to worry, it got here, as well as the present from Britt from ArtsCow. Dad, that is so cool that you get to go work in Kanab. I sure do love that place. I remember one of the last days that I spent there in Kanab before coming out in the mission. We were with the whole fam out behind Matt's house and I just sat there looking around knowing that I wouldn't be back there for 2 years, or see a lot of my fam for 2 years, and I got emotional. I think I hid it pretty well and I don't think anyone saw me ha. I sure do love my FAM and Kanab.
 
That is so cool that Kenz is going to Honduras! Tell her congrats from me, and good luck with Spanish, but that it's not too hard when you've got the Lord on your side helping you. That's the only way I learned Spanish. Even with the amazing help from sister Burdett, I still needed the help of the Lord to get it through my thick head. I can't find my vitamins mom. I don't know where they went, sorry. I can't remember any other questions, sorry. I will get to work on my tooth then this week.
 
Alright, now a little for my week. It was a very interesting one and a little hard, but that's alright we are going to get it done this week. Monday at 6 we got a call from the office saying that Elder Moreno had to go to Santiago to do stuff for his visa and that he had to leave in like an hour, ha, so we rushed to get him off. We were here in the whole city as a trio, trying to work in two sectors and it had it's toll on the work, but we kept working hard and we had a good time, us three together. Elder Moreno got back on Friday and we were able to get some more done. On Sunday we ate with a family of members and the mom has been a member for almost 50 years. She has 2 kids that live in Orem and Provo haha how cool is that?! Her daughter and her family live there behind Target ha. We had a good time talking a little bit about my good old home. She has visited Orem like three times. Right now I can't think about much more that happened this week, but I know that more happened.
 
Now for the work. We are doing good and still just working with the same investigators trying to help the family get married and we are teaching a lot of youth of 19 to 21 years old that are all really interested. They seem to all be related here in Pangi - it's kinda funny. We have a lot of great people that are listening to us and we are just really excited about the people here in Pangi. They are so nice and I love them. Something that I was studying a little bit this week was the difference between sacrificing our will and consecrating it, and the difference between the two. Sacrifice is when our will bites the bullet when we do the Lord's will but we hold on to our will. Consecrating our will is to drop and forget our will entirely and to grab ahold of the Lord's and make it ours. When we do that the Lord blesses us a hundred fold as it says in Matt 19:26, I believe but am not sure ha. "He who forsakes father, mother, brother, sister, truck, good food, and friends for my sake will receive a hundred fold" That was the Elder Brown translation, just so you all know. I hope to be able to become that kind of missionary who drops all else to do the Lord's will, to make my will His will, so that I can do what he wants me to do so that he can bless others through me. I love the work of the Lord. I have no doubt of its truthfulness. I know that Jesus Christ knows how to help us to overcome weaknesses that seem to swallow us up. I have experienced that help. I am trying to sing that redeeming song every day out here in Chile. 
I love you all so much.
 
Love,
Elder Brown
 
Dear Jenna,
If you can tell me your birthday that would be great because I forgot..... I am a terrible person I am so sorrry ha.

Brother Turner I love you my brother from another mother haha thanks for the email.

Hola Familia y Amigos.

It is so great to hear from all of you. I can not express how much love I feel for you all. Thanks for always remembering me and praying for me out here. The prayers are always needed. I can't remember much of the questions that you asked me because it has been a crazy day and you will see why from the pic that I just attached. I will tell you more about that later.

Here are my answers to the questions that I remember: No, we are not close to the office. We are like 5 or 6 hours from there. Sadly, I never see my bud Elder Anderson. My tooth is not bugging me yet but the office can't do much to help me because they are far away. I have to pay it will my own money and from what I have found so far it will be like 50 dollars for a silver filling and like 80 or 90 for a white one. I don't know what to do. What do you think. I haven't heard from anyone really at all, ha, but no biggy, we are just out working hard and getting things done out here. Oh ya, where is your friend Tanya from?

Well now, for a bit on down here in Chile. Everything is going really well. We are just working hard, walking up and down hills and teaching lots. We have been finding a lot of good people and we are working with a lot of people that I am pretty sure will be able to get baptized here in December. We are looking foward to a really good month. Elder Renshaw and me are getting along great. I think it has something to do with the fact that he is just like my good old friend Rick Doxey. I am always laughing with him. We are just enjoying working hard together while laughing all along the way. We have been working a lot with Luis and Vitalia and their son Bastian. They are talking and praying about whether they should get married or not. I sure am hoping that they can get that answer and folow it. They are awesome and I love them so much. Vitalia invited us to come with them to dedicate the grave of her mom, who died 3 years ago in a fire that burned down their whole house and left them with nothing. Vitalia asked me to dedicate it and I felt so blessed to do so. Another great experience here in the mission. They are so great and have gone through so many hard things and I know this is what they need and search for. Other than that there is not much to tell you about except for what we did today.

Today we went to a place called Huilo Huilo, and wow was it worth it, going in the pouring rain!!!! Wow, was it pretty. I am not sure if I have been to a place prettier than that. I was amazed and all I could do was stand there and stare ha. It was amazing. I am not going to lie, the pics don't do it justice. I was able to organize for a member to take us so it would be cheaper. We went as most of the zone, there was 10 of us, and it was awesome. SO WORTH IT.

Well, I always love to hear from all of you. I can't believe about all the people getting home from missions, going out on missions, and getting married. There is a new person in every single one of those groups every week. It is crazy. I sure do love all of you and I am so glad to hear from all of you. Dad, that is so cool that you get to go work in Kanab. Caiden, way to go on your game. Britt, I sure do love your fam and I can't wait to hug those two little boys of yours. Mom, I sure do love you and want to tell you that everyone that sees your pic when I show them my fam asks me... IS THAT YOUR MOM???? She is so young, they say, ha! They say you look like my older sister. I love you Mom!!! As well as everyone else. Sorry if this letter is a little short. I know that this is the Lord's work. I have never been happier doing anything else. I can not express the amount of gratitude I have towards my mission, the things I have learned and all the things I can and need to still learn. I love you all.

Love,
Elder Brown

Hola Familia y Amigos,

Another incredibly beautiful week here in Pangi. The days just slip away, all sneeky like, so that you don't even realize how fast they go by. I am glad to hear that you passed the Thanksgiving weekend by super good. I sure do love this holiday. Sadly to say, we didn't do anything, but I did carry around with me a little post-it that I wrote all the things I was thankful for on when I thought of them. That was my activity for Thanksgiving and I sure did enjoy it. It's interesting to realize how much the mission helps you realize how good the simple things we have are. I am so eternally grateful for all the things I have learned here in the mission and I hope to continue to learn more and more. Dad, that is so cool that you are going to go work over there in "Grandpa's world"! There aint no better place to work. That is so cool. I can't wait to see what the church is going to be like after you are down, that will be cool.
 
Ok, now for some of mother's questions. Love you mother! All the packages that I have gotten have been in great shape and have looked just fine. I will be sure to tell you when I get the next one. E. Renshaw is from Iowa and he is one of the funniest guys ever. I am always laughing my head off at something that he says. My legs seem to continue to get smaller, but leaner everyday. These hills are nothing for me now haha. We have a Mamita here so everything is good. Yes, I am the district leader still. What we do here in Pangi is we have divided it in half. So the others have one half and we have the other. We got news this week that we will be having a married couple of missionaries here in Pangi as well to help the district of Los Lagos to grow. So we have been looking for a house for them. We had an awesome week this week. Oh, and still I have not been able to find a dentist, but I am working on it.
 
Alright, so now a little bit about this last week. It was an awesome one, with 4 investigators in church that are all preparing to be baptized in December. I am so excited about this next month in Pangi. We are going to see a lot of miracles done by the Lord. I want to share at least one story about this week so I will do it fast so I have time to put some pics on. So we have been teaching this golden family that lives in the country and we have to walk like 30 minutes into the country to get to their house where they raise sheep and have horses and have a huge garden where they grow everything, but mostly potatoes. Well, this family - the parents are not married - have been having a lot of problems with their relationship. One day we decided to go out there at the beggining of our work day that starts at 3. So we get there about 3:30 and there is Luis working out in the field on the potatoes. I called out to him and he came in and as soon as I saw his face I knew that something was wrong. We go inside and I began to ask how he was and he just said he was fine and all, but I didn't believe him so I continued to ask until finally he told us that he had gotten into a big fight with Vitalia, his partner. We shared with him that if he could live the Gospel with his family that they could solve their problems and achieve an eternal family where they can live in harmony forever. After that he expressed his testimony of prayer and that about an hour before we got there, about 2:30 he had said a prayer that he could have the energy to work and that if it was God's will that he would send us there to help him. Turns out that at about the same time that he said that prayer me and Elder Renshaw were doing a little bit of planning in our house and we felt that we needed to go to the house of Luis. I was so humbled to realize what had really happened and that the Lord could trust and use us weak, incapable 20 year olds to answer a simple but fervant prayer. Wow, what a testimony builder. I feel so strongly about this Gospel and I know that the Lord hears and answers our prayers, sometimes through his servants even when they might not even realize that they're an answer to a prayer.
 
I sure do love all of you. I am glad to hear that all is well. Mom, if you ever see Elder Nelson tell him I miss him too ha. Caiden, you wish that you will be able to beat me! We will just have to see in a few months more. Lacee, I hope all is well. I love you sis, and I am glad to hear from you. Oh, and find a boyfriend please, but don't get married till I get home. Britt and fam, I love you all you, are the cutest fam ever.
