This is a pick of us playing basketball with a bunch of Mozambicans. It was pretty fun and they are actually really good players! but ya I thought you would like this pic, just don't print it out and hang it on the wall or anything ha ha I'm not so sure I want to remember this game cuz we got our butts kicked and they were all punks ha ha!

Yes the Spendloves are here and we did have a conferance. It was small, only an hour long. He talked about how we need to use the BOM and Preach My Gospel with the spirit as our 3 pillars of missionary work. It was pretty good. He's a good guy and I'm sure that he will be a great mission pres. He isn't the mission pres type, but he is the Mozambican mission pres type. He really is the perfect mission president for this mission. The first presidency chose him for this mission specificaly way before all the other mission presidents were chosen let alone assigned so I'm sure he is ment to be here. He's a funny guy as you know ha ha! He is having everyone only speak Portuguese so I may come back talking funny after all! With Pres. Packard he didn't speak Portuguese so all the Americans always spoke English with each other too but with Spendlove it's going to be different. It's probably a good thing, I'm just glad I already speak it!This week was alright, nothing too exciting to report. We are teaching a member's family and they are doing pretty good. It was kinda funny,last time we were there I asked them if they had read the BOM this week and his mom said. "We have to or else he gets mad and makes us study!" I though that was pretty funny! It's really good that he is pushing his family along. He is a way smart guy. His name is Paito. He's deaf but way intelligent! But his 2 sisters and his mom are doing pretty well so we are excited for them. We are going to Rodizio's today! They have one here in Maputo but it isn't quite as good as the one in SLC ha ha. It's way expensive but we've been saving up for it for the past week. I'm way excited!!! I get to eat meat again!!!!!!! man I miss meat! For that first meal I'm back home for I think I'm going to want those sirloin steaks wrapped in bacon!!!!!! ha ha I'm not trunky I promise, I just miss good food haha!

We did hear someone from another church trying to cast an evil spirit out of a house. That was kinda interesting. That happens a lot here. Dang Mozambicans can be hard to love!!!! So many of them get drunk, beat their wives, lie, and call me a cracker. It's frustrating! The members and our investigators are good, but the Mozambican people as a whole...well. Education is such a beautiful thing! I never realized it until I got here! Well I better get going, Thanks for everything, I'm so grateful for everything that you both have done for me. You have been so paitent and loving with me and I'm so grateful. I love you and I'm grateful to be your son. Have a good week! I love you! Love Brady
