Hey Mom & Dad, Wow I didn't even realize that it was my 1/3 day ha ha that's great! I'm loving the new area a lot it’s really cool. It’s hard to find our way around but hopefully I'll get the hang of it soon. We have marked 3 baptisms this week so I'm excited for that, 2 on October 18 and one on the 1st of Nov. I love the new area, my comp is way cool and our branch is growing like crazy. I'll send that stuff home as well they have a lot of wood sculptures and masks and stuff but I hope you guys like them. Apparently packages are making it home a lot better now or something so I'm sure you guys will get it. I don’t think I am registered to vote so don’t worry about sending an absentee ballot. I don’t even think it would get here in time but thanks.

Ya we don’t get conference in Beira, they get it in Maputo but up here the satellite doesn't reach so we have to wait for a few weeks until we get it on DVD. Iron man!!!!!!!!! I wanted to see that so bad!!!! Ask dad if he'll let me watch movies on the way back on the plane! This week I had a pretty cool experience. We had a lesson fall through so we went to an inactive member’s house. Her name is Anga and she's 26. She stopped coming to church after her husband got sick because she had to take care of him. He was in the middle of being taught and he died. She stopped coming to church after that. We got there and we talked about temples and how she needed to get to the temple to have him be baptized and be sealed with him. I also told her that to do that she needs to start coming to church and do the necessary things to get there. She said she wouldn't miss another Sunday and she came this week. This is my favorite part of being a missionary. When stupid little things happen but it turns out to be something great and you look back and know that the spirit was definitely involved.

Anyways that's about all I have this week. I hope everyone is doing good, thanks for sending my emails to me! I love you! Thanks!!! Thanks for all the help you give me and support. I'm so grateful to have parents like you guys.
Love Elder Brown

Not for a while but I might get some today, I got the clipper thing about the hockey game that was pretty cool.
