I'm glad to hear that Thanksgiving went well for you guys too and that everyone is well. Thanksgiving here was AWESOME!!!!!!! I really think it was the best Thanksgiving I have ever had!!!! The food was AMAZING!!!!!!! They went all out! We had apple pie, pumpkin bars, cheese cake, cup cakes, garlic potatoes, and the turkey was great!!!!!! It was super good! They took pics so I'll have to see if I can get them from them to send to you guys. It was super nice to eat such a good meal with such great people!!! It's great to hear Brother Taylor go off about Obama and stuff too haha! he's ex millitary, so as you can imagine, a very out spoken Republican. He was wearing a shirt yesterday that said, "still voting democrat? you're stuck on stupid!" I told him I liked it and he said, "thanks I made it myself" ha ha! He's a champ! Super funny guy! That's too bad that BYU beat Utah, it always seems like these games are so close too! That's dumb they didn't show it on a regular station. I'm sure they are flooded with complaints though, so maybe they will do better next year.
Last night there was a huge lightning storm, it was super cool! We went on the roof of our building and the lightning was going on right above our heads! Bolts and all! Kinda stupid to be up there ha ha! It was striking like every second! I wish you guys could have seen it! It wasn't raining at all, but lightning was everywhere! Right above our heads! It had to have been less than 50 feet above our heads it was really cool! We were kinda scared to stand up though ha ha! It really was an amazing experience though. I will miss things like that about Africa. It really is a beautiful place.
We are visiting a little old lady who is a member. She lives by herself and super far away. She hasn't come to church for a long time, but she's been coming lately. I always feel super bad for her when we go and visit her cuz she just feels so alone. All her family live in South Africa so we are pretty much the only people who come and visit her. The Relief Society is too lazy to get out there to visit her, "we would like to, but it's just too far away." Oh well. She is getting better and more active. Well, this week everything has been going well. We had 2 investigators come to church so that was good, but also we had some inactive members come which is even better. We did a ton of react work this week, it felt really good. We hope to get even more done this week but we'll see.
So this week I taught the English primary class......it didn't go so well ha ha! They are 4 little girls, 2 are the Taylor's (the family we had Thanksgiving with) and 2 are the Bradford's. One of the older girls of the Taylor's is named Margret, she's 10. She reminds me a ton of Kaylee when she was her age. It's going to be weird seeing her again cuz as far as I know, she still is that age ha ha! Anyways, the Taylor's other daughter, Kathrin is 7. The Bradford's littlest girl is like 2 and super adorable. Blonde hair blue eyes loves to talk! Well while we were saying the opening prayer, I heared her doing something, so I opened one eye and looked at her, she saw me and started laughing, so I started laughing, and after the prayer she just kept laughing at me and I couldn't stop laughing either, and I ended up losing everyone's attention and nothing was taught ha ha! yeah, I'm just not cut out to be a primary teacher, I just play around too much, and I can't teach in English anymore ha ha!
YOU THINK I LOOK SKINNY TOO!?!?!?!?! man, ha ha I actually have a funny story about that. A few days ago I ran into someone I taught when I was in the office in our area. She didn't recognize me, when I told her who I was, she got this look of horror on her face. She kept saying, "it's not possible!!!! Elder Brown!!! What happened to you!!!! You look terrible!!! Did you get super sick or something!!!!! You use to be such a handsome missionary!!!!" and things like that.... so I thanked her for the kind compliments she just gave me and tried to hold back the tears at the fact that I have been left very disfigured from who knows what! So if you see an ugly twig in a suit come down the escalator, that's probably me ha ha! Anyways, that's about all I got this week. Thanks! Love you!
