Jardim dos Namorados - Where Elder Richard G. Scott Dedicated Mozambique to Preach the Gospel

Well I got a call from Elder Udall with some news, we are going to have an extra missionary come in this transfer than we thought. He was going to get surgery on his shoulder but with the MTC Swine flu delay he could get it done and still come. So I will be training this transfer and Elder Depew will go to another area in our district so he's still close. I'm pretty excited to train though. It should be fun! His name is Elder Dunn from Rexburg ID, I read his application while I was in the office so I pretty much know everything about him ha ha but ya it should be fun. I'm excited but kinda nervous. I just hope I don't mess up ha ha! I'm excited to see what I was like when I first got here though ha ha! Elder Depew will stay in the same district and go to another area with another missionary who was in Beira. I'm glad he will still be in my district, he's a good kid and i really like him.

We had our branch council yesterday, it was kinda ruff. The meeting lasted like 3 hours and there were a lot of things that should have been done before in other meetings that just never happend. It was kinda ruff but we're getting there! We've had a lot of the inactive members that we are teaching come back to church so that was good. I really like this area and the branch. This is probably my favorite area that I've served in on my mission thus far.

That is pretty crazy about the elections in Iran. I think that it may happen here when the time comes. The president now I think will be reluctant to give up his presidency, and he is filthy rich so I'm sure he will have no problems paying the right people to keep him where he is. Oh well, we'll see.

So I think Kyler should be ending his mission pretty soon! Isn't that crazy! I think he's done in August or September. I can't believe he's already just about done with his mission! Time really does pass by fast out here. He's pretty sad about leaving though. He want's to stay I think which is good. It will be good to see him when I get back though. It will have been almost 3 years since the last time I saw him.

That is pretty crazy that it has been raining that much. Here it's been raining the past few days too which is never fun cuz it always makes it humid. I hope that the rains pass and that you can start to enjoy your summer! I'm glad that you guys are staying busy though, and that you guys are all happy! I miss you all but I'm having fun out here too. Everything is going great! Anyways I better go, I'll let you know how things go with my filho (son) next week. Thanks! Love you!

Love Brady

Here's the questions for the week:
1. You said you didn't build much on the house last week for your investigators. Last we heard you were still making bricks. What have you built so far? Are they still doing OK?
No we are still working on blocks but we haven't done much for a while. They are getting weaker but we are going to go try and get them going again.
2. Who are you teaching? Do you have a lot of investigators?
No we are doing more work with the branch and with members than investigators. We have a few but not many.
3. What is your chapel like? Is it rented and is it a real church?
It is a rented place that use to be a store I think. It's really big though, it's the biggest chapel we have in our mission.
4. Have they made any changes in security since Elder Nelson's visit?
Nothing yet except they do have armed guards in front of pres's house.

Thanks fam!
