The Chapel in Chamba, Sofala North West of Manga

Hi mom, Well I've been in the internet place for more than a half hour and this is the first email I've read. The internet is bad today so sorry if this is short. I miss the temple alot I wish we had one here but oh well, we'll go alot when I get back. I'm glad I missed out on all that snow but I'd almost rather trade,ALMOST. It's getting hot here really, really hot. But the week went by pretty well. We are spending alot of time finding inactive members which is really cool. We've had alot of experiences that you just knew the spirit was involved when we found the inactive member. That's great that Tyler is doing so well with hockey, it's good to hear he's hitting people alot! Ya I did hear about the temple in Rome and also the one in Jackson county or whatever it was. I kinda bought alot of stuff so I spent a little more on stuff to send home to you guys. I got some cool stuff that you will like! I may need a little bit more money next week to send it home cuz I have to bribe the post office with candy to not open it and then the money for actually sending it, but it won't be that much more I don't think. I got some really good deals on that stuff and I'm really glad I did it. Anyways I'll be sending that stuff off next week. 2 flat rate boxes full of stuff! Anyways I better go but thanks mom for everything! I love you and I'll talk to you next week!

Hey dad! This week went by pretty well but the internet is terrible today so this will be a short one. First of all happy birthday this week! I wish I could be there for it! I'm sending you a nice carved hippo tooth in the box for you to put on your desk for your present as well as 2 kilos of ivory! No just kidding about the ivory but the tooth is way cool, I think you'll like it. This week we spent alot of time trying to find inactive members and we have been very successful. We've had alot of really cool experiences in finding them. These are frightening times with the stock market and economy turning bad. One thing I've learned here is that you really have no control over your life. You just kinda go through the motions and hope nothing happens. Anyways I hope you have a good birthday and that everything keeps going well for everyone! Thanks dad love you! Love Elder Brown
