Hi, I hope you’re not up at 2 am reading this ha ha but yes I did get transfered. I'm going to the Jungle!!! I'm way excited! I'm going to a place called Manga and I'm going to be serving with Elder Naylor. I wish I could describe the area but I don’t go there until Thursday so I'll let you know next week. President said that he thinks we will have the strongest companionship and best area in the mission so I hope I don’t disappoint him. Besides that something else happened that kinda sucks. Elder Nascimento went home last Thursday for a bunch of stuff. So now my area will be white washed. I just hope that the investigators will continue to progress. I will be training one of the new missionaries who will be serving in my area until I leave for Manga. I hope that they keep progressing.

Anyways I wanted to see if you could get some stuff for that package. “The Prophet of the Restoration”. I don’t know if that is out yet it wasn't when I left but we could use that movie. It’s the one that is being shown at the church building thing where they use to have the Testaments. If you haven't seen it yet take Tyler and Kaylee and go see it, it is amazing!

Greed is a powerful tool the devil has. I can see it every day here. The culture here is based on greed until even the members would steal things. The culture here at least I think 100 percent from Satan. I haven't heard of one good tradition or seen anything good come from the culture here. The government is super corrupt and they just wait until the US comes and builds the things that they need. Everyone asks us for money because we are white. They won’t even ask each other they just ask the missionaries. I get super frustrated with people here but especially the members. They know better than that but they still act like it. I don’t know, anyways I'm glad to hear everything is going good at home. Thank you for all the encouragement and advice, I always love opening your emails and reading them. I love you and I couldn't be out here with out you guys! I hope you can sleep now. Thanks again for everything!
Love Elder Brown

Q1) How's the weather? We're guessing it's spring there. Is it getting warmer? How has winter been?
The weather isn't bad, it is spring so its starting to heat up. The rainy season starts here in about a month so it will be very hot and very humid. The winter is nice, its usually the perfect temp to walk around and do whatever without it getting too hot.
Q2) Do you sing at church now? How's the music there? Do the people have good voices? How do they do with the hymns?
ya I sing. The music is alright, some of it is kinda annoying but they listen to a lot of American rap so I have something to remind me of home. NO! The people have TERRIBLE VOICES! It is the worst singing I have ever heard in my life!!!! They do alright with the hymns they just can’t sing at all.
Q3) Have they put missionaries in Angloa yet?
In November they are sending 4 to Angola and 2 to Nampula another city in Mozambique
Q4) How did transfers go. Are any of your MTC buddies coming North? Any interesting transfers?
No everyone stayed so it looks like I won’t see them for at least another 6 months if not then probably not for the rest of the mission. Thanks!!!
