Hey everyone!
I don't have much time left on my email. 7 minutes to be exact. But I get my travel plans some time today and I head out the 23rd (10 days from now) but things are good. I'm excited to finnaly get in the field. So things are going to get a lot better and more exciting.
That's just about all I have time for but know I love you all and look forward to any letters I can get in the next ten days.
Love you all. Got to send this before time runs out. Hope to hear from all of you soon

I received the following letter yesterday:
Hola Madre,
So, as far as your question, Visas won't be a problem, we go in on tourist visas, so no worries. It's weird to think I'll be in a foreign country in 11 days, where no one speaks english, but I'm excited. Mom, I just want you to know that I love you. I know I wasn't always the best son and I feel bad for every tear you shed because of me. I miss sitting and talking with you. I miss being able to tell you I love you every day. Being here makes me realize how luck I was to have you there, always willing to sit and talk with me, always willing to listen, and always supporting me in whatever I did. I'm realizing now how much you sacrificed driving 2 hours down to Ephraim to hear me sing 1 song, followed by the 2 hour drive back, how much could have you done with that 5 hours, and this happened on more than one occasion. I just want to let you know how much I appreciate those sacrifices. I promise you, I am going to do the best I can every day, to make you proud of me. I've wasted so much time, and all the gifts God gave me, but no more. I know from words to actions is a great distance but I will do it. I promise I'll make you proud. I know I'm not perfect, but I'll do my best to be. I look forward to your letters, know that I love you, and every night I pray for you, and each family member, by name, and ask God to keep you safe and to help you feel my love, and then for anything I know you need or want and I know that God will answer my prayers and I hope you do feel my love. I miss you and look forward to talking to you in 11-ish days. I love you.

Love Elder Brown.
