The Adventures of Elder Brown

Elder Brown entered the MTC on February 6th. He has 3 roommates that are also going to Mozambique. The other 4 Elders in his district are going to Portugal. His departure date is tentatively set for April 7th.

After being inspired by The Clegg family's fabulous blogsite (Brady's roommate's family), we have set up this site so that our friends and family can share more fully in the adventures, or misadventures of Elder Brown. We will keep this blog address for all future Elder Browns from our family and extended family. Hopefully we will have many Elder Browns yet to come. We would love to read your comments (you can click on a link on the site) and look forward to sharing with you the Adventures of Elder Brown!

If you would like to write to Elder Brown, there is a website that we have been using that gets the letters to him the same day if they are written before noon Mountain Time. The Website is http://www.dearelder.com/, Mailbox #332 Mission Code MOZ-MAP 0407. I know he'd love to hear from you!

The day after Brady went into the MTC we had a special message from him.

What an amazing kid! The tears flowed for HOURS!

This week we received the picture of Brady above, along with these pictures:

We also received the following letter:

February 16th

Ola Familia,

Things are starting to get better here. Tell Ryan thanks for the letter, it came at just the right time when I really needed it. The MTC is probably the busiest place I have ever seen, I never even have a second to just sit and think. But its good you just feel really pressured it all. Everything has to be planned out to the second which is kind of frustrating for me. The language is starting to get harded. We have so much to do and memorize its almost impossible to do because we never have time to sit and memorize. The Portuguese is messing with my English already, I’m starting to talk funny and my spelling is sometimes half Portuguese half English so I’m sorry for the miss spelled words. I spell prophet with an f because in Portuguese it’s profeta and so is os, its frustrating. I may not be able to give my home coming talk ha ha. I’m like starting to roll my r’s too. I’m already getting an accent after only a week! I’m getting really close to my roommates, we are all going to Mozambique so we will probably fly home together too.

I’m learning fast but I can’t form my own sentence in my head cuz I don’t know enough vocabulary but I’m getting there. I have to go to dinner. Thanks for the letter, packages and prayers! I can’t wait to hear from you! Tchau!

Elder Brown

We'll post letters, pictures and updates on this blog site, so stay tuned!
