The Missions of Elder Brady Brown, Mozambique, and Elder Tyler Brown, Paraguay

First off I have something pretty cool to tell you. One of the American families in our branch had the wife's sister and her friend come and visit them cuz they were in Africa doing a medical service project. What they do is come for a week and just do surgeries for people who need them, and her sister's friend that came, her husband is like the head surgeon of the whole deal. So we ate dinner with them. (my first real contact with white people in more than a year and a half) and got talking to them about how I wanted to study to be a surgical tech. She said that her husband would probably let me shadow him, and if the school would let me, do my internship and work with him and stuff!!!! Pretty cool hu? He specializes in plastic surgery but I'm sure the school would let me do my internship there right? Also, They do this whole Africa trip every year in November and they said that it is super easy to come and do it with them. And if I could possibly finish that course (I don't think its possible to finish before November though) I could go with them and do surgeries here in Africa and I'm sure that would count for my intership! She said they do hundereds of surgeries while they are here! It costs like 3,500 bucks to come, but if you get people to donate, all that money counts towards your cost so if I talked to Dr's and stuff and got them to donate I could even do it for free!!!!!! That would be cool hu? They took a bunch of pics from our dinner and stuff and they said that they would send them to you.

Everything else is going good here. We are almost ready to baptize one of our investigators but he still has to decide his wedding date. We have also been having a lot of success with inactive members.

Wow I just looked at the time and I have to go. Sorry! I love you! thanks for everything!

Love Brady

Here's the questions of the week:
1. Is the area you are in the most "wealthy" area you've been in there?
No, I think my first area in Beira was wealthier than this, its hard cuz part is houses and apartments, and the other part shacks.

2. News from T-Page - I talked to Ty's mom. She said Tyler has had 3 "clothes ripping, road rash" bike wrecks. How many have you had?
Ha ha that's funny, I can honestly say that I rode a bike for 3 days on my mission, didn't wreck, but hated it!!!! If the roads were smooth and paved it wouldn't be so bad but cuz they aren't my butt hurt!!!!

3. Do you have good restaurants in your area? Where do you like to go for food and what do you like to eat there?
In our area no but near our house there are a few. There is an Italian restaurant we eat at a lot

4. Do the members in this area feed you?
Not really, members in our branch do but they don't live in our area.

Thanks!!! Love you!
