Me with Elder Taylor Elder Stokes the morning of changes before we went to the bus terminal.

Well first off I gotted transferred, it was fun in San Antonio, I love the people there but it really feels good to start again with a new area. I've been put into Ciudad Del Este, Barrio (ward) 2 area 3, (there are now 3 sets of missionaries here.) My companion is Elder Steren, (he is coming right out of the office) so what we are doing is kinda like white washing an area only that we are dividing the area of some other Elders, we are now in the same ward as the zone leaders in Ciudad Del Este, Elders Facer from Tennessee, and Nolet from Quebec Canada. He was raised speaking French, had to learn English to learn Spanish, no I can't understand him nor speak with him in French anymore (I lost my touch.)))) I don't really know the other 2 Elders in my ward but I will. My companion is the district leader (as i said hes fresh out of the office.) I'm super excited to be here and ready to start this area off right. Ciudad Del Este is a super rich city, everyone seems to be really well off here, I guess I'll have to let you know when I know the area better. Really I look forward to my time that will be spent here.

So yeah thats that. I don't really have a description because well, I have no idea where I am. haha, but I'll get used to it quick, so yeah. I'm glad to hear that you have felt the Lord's comforting hand, really he always is there and as is taught in Alma "He suffered all manner of afflictions that he might be able to succor his people." Really he understands perfectly well what you and I and Johny down the street need, to be comforted, The Atonement is really an amazing thing. The more I learn about it the more amazed I am by its power.

It's super good to hear that your almost done with student teaching. Funny thing, when you finish it will be changes here again. Changes go by so fetchin quick. It's good to hear that the students are loving the way you teach and all the great plans you have for them. Really all your hard work will pay off. I too am saddened by the end of Rome (unit) but the show must go on and music must be taught and all that Sciency stuff too.

Go Green Bay!!!!!! yay!!!!!!! (well that was short lived)

I am super excited for super awesome mama empanadas. I don't think its humanly possible to get sick of empanadas, really if you get sick of eating one flavor buy a different one for a couple of weeks. It's super awesome.

Really I've loved every minute that I've spent in Paraguay and I've learned so many things. I've really learned the use of study. Before studying was something you did if you didn't pay attention in class, but I now know there are more things to know behind anything than just what a teacher talks about or what will be on the test. Really there is so much to learn in this life and so much to learn to be. I look forward to being able to go back to school and apply the principles I've learned here.

Well, that's really just about all I've got for this week, but know that I love ya tons, and I still pray for all of you guys. Super excited to hear from ya on Monday again. Really that's the only thing about changes that is pleasant, you get to write home twice in 4 daysish.

Sure do love ya,
Elder Brown,
