An African Artist's Interpretation of Lehi's Dream

We had transfer meeting on Friday, this one flew by for me! But nothing changed in our district so nothing new to report. We are planning on doing a Thanksgiving dinner like I did last year in Manga again for our district! This time I think we will do it over x-mas though. It's hard to believe that Thanksgiving is already here and x-mas is coming up so soon already! It feels like not even six months ago that I called you guys last Christmas!

We just got back from a bbq at president's house. It was pretty fun, I kept the tradition I started at snow of wearing something ridiculous while grilling! I wore a crazy kapulana shirt, with a pirate hat made of straw, and sunglasses! I took a pic but you probably wont see it till I get home ha ha!

I've been reading the Miracle of Forgiveness, it is a sweet book! It has a lot of awesome priciples and insights! One thing I really like is that it talks about how our purpouse in this life is to gain self control, learn to control our bodies and our wants of the flesh. Just like a baby can't walk because he hasn't learned to control his legs, everyone has their things that they just have a hard time learning to control. For example, pornography, some people just can't resist it, others don't have a problem and usually don't look a second time. It is a super interesting book! I would recomend it if you haven't read it already.

The branch is alright, frustrating like all the others but oh well. Our area is kinda hard, we have a lot of inactives who just "don't have time" to live the gospel. I've figured I've given them the invite to come back and shown love. I love using the scripture in 3 Nephi that says "seek ye first the kingdom of God" But for some reason they don't seem to think that going to church and living the comandments is all that important. arrrg oh well.

We had an activity for the married couples in our branch (all 4 couples ha ha) it turned out pretty well. It was weird seeing the American couples together. I was thinking (wow they actually love each other.... werid....) It is sad to say, but marriage here is more like a contract. The husband provides for the wife, and the wife cooks and cleans with little or no love or feeling between them. They are almost like disliked buisness partners in some cases its kinda sad.

Well other than that nothing too new to talk about, everything is going great and we are still working with inactive members. Our investigators are doing good also. Well i better get going. Thanks for everything, you're the best! I love you!

Love Brady

Questions:
1. Have you developed a liking for fruit there? What is the fruit like? what's your favorite?
ya, i really like the bananas here, the pineapple is good too. The exotic fruits are good too but I don't eat them often, I'm having a hard enough time keeping my digestive system normal as it is ha ha!

2. Do you eat chicken feet? Do you like them?

I usually try and avoid them at all costs ha ha!
