Elder Okazaki and Elder Brown

Everything here is great! I am loving the office! I really like it alot, even though I'm not teaching as much I feel like my work is actually helping and that I am making a difference. I like the work I'm doing alot. And I get to eat out every day. It's really different but I really am liking it alot. It's crazy all the stuff I have to do. It's weird going from having almost no resposibility being a Jr. comp to having a TON of it! I have to book flights and set up hotel reservations for missionaries, the mission pres and GENERAL AUTHORITIES!!!! What if I mess up and they get stuck somewhere!?!? I might get excommunicated!!! No it's not bad, I also have to make sure the missionaries visas don't expire, get new missionaries set up for their visas, make sure we pay all the bills and stuff, order supplies from Salt Lake and South Africa and tons of other stuff. I spend more time in Embassies and in front of a computer than anything but I still love it. I had a great birthday and Elder Okazaki and Elder Fiallo (APs) sung happy birthday to me. We ate cake and played board games. I'm living with them so I get to live with my trainer again which we were way excited about. If you remember he is a hockey player too. So we talk about it alot and it makes me miss it. He feels the same way so we might try and find time to do a pick up league together while he is going to BYU.

We went to a zoo which was an experience. Lots of crocodiles, monkeys, and hippos. And all in a rusty chain link fence for a cage. Ha ha kinda dangerous but fun. We went and bought a chicken and threw it in one of the crocodiles cages and watched him eat it! It was pretty cool! Well unfortunately I do not have a p-day anymore, there is too much work to do here. My emails might be a little short some times but I'll try and write longer ones. But I'm doing good and I really like the city even though I kinda felt like the missionary in the otherside of heaven when he got off the boat to come home when I got off the plane.
Thanks! Love you! Elder Filho
Questions:
1. How's your new branch? Do you have any callings?
The branch is strong... super weird, I don't have to do anything because right after sacrament meeting I have to do office work
2. Who is your companion? Are you in a 3-some? Who do you live with and where are they all from?
I'm with Elders Harris and Udall, I know them both from my old zone. Udall's from Arizona and Harris is from Logan. I live with Elder Okazaki (my trainer) and Elder Fiallo from Brazil.
3.How was your birthday? Did you make your cake?
Yes everything was great! The cake turned out good and I took pics, thanks for the presents! I loved them!
