I got the travel plans you sent me and one from Travelocity or something like that, but don't worry about my getting trunky.  It hasn't even hit me yet.  We are just working hard.  I love this work.  I want to give more, but I really feel that I have done what I can with the set of weaknesses I have and even though I want to give more, the end is coming and I guess I'll just have to give more to the church when I get home. I look forward to having a calling, and working for the church. I love this church too much to not give more, even if I'm just a home teacher,  I'll be the best home teacher there ever was. 

I'm glad that you get a break now. It's always sad to have to leave your students, I know just as well as you how that is. It's happened to me about 7 times, but always there is that excitement to meet the new ones. The only difference is that you have to wait 3 months before you can. hahaha. There really is a special bond that develops between teacher and student as a teacher of the gospel I have had to learn love for all of my investigators, and as I read this morning in Corinthians 13 (I think) it's all about charity. If you (as Paul said) give away all your goods in feeding the poor or give your body to be burned but ye have not charity it is worth nothing. So a missionary can give all that he had for 2 years and if he doesn't have charity it is worth nothing. Charity in my mind is really the most important Christ-like attribute. 

I'm glad that I'm finally applied for college. I hope they accept me. It would be sad if they didn't, but yeah. I don't think they will say no to more tuition money, and I hope I get into that apartment thing. I don't need anything super expensive. Whatever is cheapest, sign me up for it. After living in Paraguay for 2 years the crappiest apartment you can find will be chuchi (as they say) to me, but try for off campus.  We will work on the class list when I get back.  And yay for Kaylee's graduation. Tell her congrats for me.  

So miracle of the week. One of our investigators (Deysi (pronounced daisy))  and her concubine (meaning fiance, they use that word like it's normal here) Gabriel (who is the bishops son) were planning on waiting for their wedding and her baptism a few months, but then we took sister Melgarejo (the bishop's daughter who is already married and semi old) came and we had a super spiritual lesson half in Guaranii half in Spanish.) and they decided that the 16th she would get baptized and the 15th they would get married. so we are super excited for that, so I'll at least have one more baptism before I go. It will be great. We are still waiting for a few miracles.

Thanks for your prayers. I know that the Lord hears all of our prayers and he always answers them. There are so many lessons I have learned here on the mission. I love the mission so much and I am excited to apply the principles learned here to my daily life. In "Preach my Gospel" there's a quote that says, if we don't set goals we will reach the end of life and look back and realized we have only achieved a small part of what is our potential. (Don't quote me on that I had to translate into English)  

That's pretty much all that happened that was very important or miraculous this week, so I best go.

Love ya tons,

Elder Brown.
