We had our Zone Conference yesterday so p-day was moved to today. Zone Conference was amazing! We had Elder Watson from the 70 come. He was just called to our Area Presidency from being the Secretary to the First Presidency and the Quorum of the 12 for 38 years! 38 years working with the Prophets and Apostles is amazing! He is a super spiritual guy and it was really awesome to hear him speak to us. He talked a lot about inactive members and how we need to leave the 99 and find the one. But here it’s more like leaving the 1 to find the 99 but all the more reason to start finding them.

I also had a pretty cool experience a few days ago. We were teaching a lesson to Isaque that was baptized on Saturday and 2 of his friends wanted to sit with us. So we talked about the restoration. At the end of the lesson, one of them asked: "Does God really exist?" When he asked me that, I thought to myself. "What would Heavenly Father want me to say to him?" I told him that God not only existed, but that he knew him, he knew him as an individual, and that he loved him. It was really cool to say what I thought the Lord would want me to say for him. Then I realized that that's what we as missionaries do every day. We are here teaching these people what they need to hear and what God wants them to understand. It was a great experience for me.

I'll be home before we know it. I'm coming up on 9 months already! It’s crazy how fast time is passing by! I've been thinking a lot about you the last little while. Just how I miss sitting down and talking to you guys. We'll have a lot to talk about when I get home though. I miss you guys, but I don’t want to come home! I'm so involved in the work and I love it! Ya I think about home and my family and friends but the thoughts don’t make me home sick. I can’t get home sick! I don’t know how missionaries get "trunky." I'm loving the work and the mission! I cant wait to get home but right now I'm just loving what I'm doing. You guys are amazing parents and I'm so grateful to be part of your family. I love you guys and I will talk to you next week! Thanks for everything! I love you!
Love Elder Brown
