We each got short e-mails from Brady today. Here are some excerpts:
Hey Mom, I got most of my luggage just one more bag and it should get here today but maybe not till tomorrow we'll see. The candy bars were good just a little smashed. Everything here is good. I found out if you send letters regular postal they get here and packages through DHL. It takes about 2 months. I'll explain more in my big email, sorry this is kinda short. My computer has frozen 4 times so if I don’t hurry it might do it again. Anyways everything is good, thanks for everything! Love Elder Brown

Hey Dad, these computers are being really slow and keep freezing up so I’m going to have to make it short so sorry. That's really cool about the business, and I love hearing about it I don’t think it’s boring at all. How's Duke and everybody doing? I kinda miss working in the warehouse with all those guys. I did get most of my luggage, the last bag is coming up probably tonight but maybe not till tomorrow we'll see so I'm doing great now. Anyways things here are good, we have 2 investigators really close to baptism one is just going to talk to her husband about it and the other we haven’t asked yet. I'm in the hardest area of the whole mission just because we are in the richest part of the country (and yet people still scrounge for food in the streets) but we still get at least 2 baptisms every other weekish depends so it’s going great. Anyways most the other stuff will be in the big email to everyone and I better go before it freezes again but thanks dad for everything I love you. Love Elder Brown

Hey Kaylee! Ya everything down here is good, it’s good to hear you are doing so well. Sorry I have to make this message short I'm almost out of time but I haven’t given anyone candy yet that's the one bag I haven't gotten. Anyways I better go but have fun! Love, Elder Brown

Hey Tyler! Everything is good. That's cool your getting better at hockey it will be fun to play when I get back. Ya I like my companion he's way cool. Yes I still miss video games but I get to watch chaupa drivers fight each other all the time so the violence is taken care of ha ha, but there is music everywhere here so music isn't so bad. Anyways I have alot of emails to write so I better go but have fun love you! Elder Brown

We never got the promised long e-mail, too many computer problems I guess. Here’s some of the music I’m sure he’s hearing.
