I love my new area and my new comp, really things are just great. We have a baptism tomorrow. The kid is awesome and he will help the ward a lot. His name is Junior and he's probably 17, he is a great kid. He will also be baptizing his 2 sisters on the 6th of November. All that's left is to get the mom to accept the gospel. I'm not sure where the Dad is. But yeah things should go well. We have 5 investigators with baptismal dates before the end of the change along with 2 more who could be baptized before changes.

The weather here is not even reminiscent of Spring. It's really not that hot temperature wise, but the humidity makes it soo hot, but I love Paraguay and I love the people and I'm happy to be here, even if I do miss winter and snow, I still love it here.

This area is great, It's a good place, typical Paraguay really. My house is awesome, we have a huge balcony that we chill and exercise on. We take collectivos (busses) or walk anywhere we go. We live with Elder Taylor from Bountiful and Elder Padilla a downs syndrome kid from El Salvador.

I love my district here, they are such great guys, we have a lot of fun together. I hope this district stays together for a long time. I'm grateful to be here and grateful for the opportunities we've had so far and the opportunities we will have shortly.

In this area I have a Paraguayan Mama, yep, and a Paraguayan papa too, we eat dinner with them pretty much every night, they're great, and we have someone else who washes our clothes. We eat with members in this area pretty much every day.

I love being a missionary, when I promise righteous things under the influence of the spirit it comes to pass. I love being a missionary.

The temple was very interesting. I didn't understand much, it was hard yeah, but it was still great. The spirit was the same, even if I couldnt understand, and after we did baptisms which was great. This truly is a marvelous work. I was thinking about it, and how many names are going through temple work, we have how many temples doing ordinance work for how many names a day. I alone did the baptisms of 40ish people, plus confirmations. It's an amazing thing. I really realize the importance of genealogy now. I love the temple! It's such an amazing place.

So I'm pretty close to out of time, but I just wanted to let you know how much I love you and that I pray for everyone daily, but now I have to go. I still need to write President, but know I love you and look forward to about 2 months from now when we can talk por medio del telephono. (some things are just easier to say in Spanish.) I'm kinda worried I'm going to come back speaking hardcore Spanglish (yikes!))) Love you.

Love, Elder Brown.
