Everything is going well here. The members are starting to see the importance of the work and I think they are going to start helping here pretty quick. We will see what happens. We are having trouble finding new investigators still, but Marcos now has a super great desire to help in the work. He gave us 5 references yesterday and wants to go out and work with us next Sunday. During the week he is busy working (a little weird cause hes only 16 (he works till past 9 o´clock a lot of times))) but he really has a strong testimony and wants others to "share in his joy". He's a great kid and we are excited for him. i feel old..... a little random but true. I never thought I would look at teenagers and find myself calling them kids. but here I am all old and not a teenager.

You should dowload the audio to Elder Holland's talk or better yet watch it on video. That would be awesome. You could really see in his face and hear in his voice how much all of it meant to him. He really speaks from his heart.

Well now I better go, but I love ya, and thanks again for all that you do for me. I look forward to your email next week as always. Oh, and 2 other things I need at Christmas time 1.) 4 more short sleeve shirts. (the way we have to do laundry here makes 8 shirts insufficient. and 2.) a football. i get tired of playing Latin football (soccer) and I want to play American football, but you just can't find a ball. (oh suggestion. Deflate it and put in a pump. Then you can send more stuff without having more boxes.))) But thanks again and I love ya tons. Talk to you next week. Thanks!

love Elder Brown
