Hey family!
So I will start off by answering all of the questions!
1. Are you
just over one ward? Which ward(s)? I am over just one ward, the first ward.
There is only 2 wards here haha.
2. How big is
your area? How many members? The ward is really small haha about 100 members
and my area is pretty small we just stick around Ukiah.
3. How many
other missionaries are in the same area? So there is us 2 then there is the
Spanish missionaries. They are a trio, elder kimber, elder morales, and elder
Gonzales. They're pretty sweet. And it's just us haha. In the area at least.
4. How many
missionaries are in your same house? How many beds/baths does it have? So there
is only me and Elder Taylor in the apartment. It's pretty small. I will attach
some pictures of it.
5. Do you
have a lot of meal appointments? We have meal appointments ever night with
members and people. And then We share a spiritual thought after.
6. Are you
going to be exclusively driving a car or will you possibly need a bike? We will
be driving most all the time. I don't need a bike right now probably won't be
needing one.
7. How long
has your companion been serving in your current area? Elder Taylor has been in
the area for 2 months. He loves it
8. What is
the best experience you’ve had so far in the field? The best experience I have
had so far is the baptism of Michael and rose which was on Friday it was a
really really amazing experience the spirit was really strong. And also all the
service we do.
9. What is the funnest thing you’ve done? The
funniest thing I have done? Umm I went on an exchange to kelseyville. About an
hour away and the drive was so beautiful got some pics. Then went on exchanges
with our zone leader elder baylock we is pretty chilllaxed :) it was awesome
experience I saw elder Davis. That was awesome!
10. What’s the
craziest thing you’ve eaten? The craziest thing I have eaten so far is
octopus... Nasty!!
So this week was pretty good a little slower we had zone
meeting on Tuesday and that was really cool haha. I got to know all of the
other missionary's I love them all. My zone is about 20 missionaries. Not that
big haha :) I learned in the zone meeting to work hard but to have fun as well.
Combine the 2. Some people when they work they don't have fun they just do it
to get through it. The trick is to do both have fun while teaching. It makes it
10'times better and people notice it. After that we did exchanges that day and
that was awesome as I said above.
Wednesday was rejection day.. We visited a
lot of people and know one wanted anything to do with us haha( this is in
keysville) so all day was us trying to get someone to talk to haha. It was fun
though.
Elder Blaylock is pretty sweet.. He is very spiritual. We
the. Drove back to Ukiah on this crazy death road. Luckily we had a jeep ;)
We
exchanged back that night.. And that night we taught the Gomez family. They are
awesome! We taught the plan of salvation. Thursday we had to run a couple
Aron's for Elder Taylor and we visited brother Paige he is awesome he is in a
resting home and loves us haha. We taught him about prayer and how it effects
our Daily lives. That night we went to brother Lucas house. He is one amazing
man and has thousands of crazy stories. We then studied that night afterward..
So Friday we did service at the humanitarian place and we
walked that dogs and played with the cats.. It was an amazing experience. Cause
animals are awesome! We went to the Asian buffet that night and got fat.
After was the baptism of Michael and Rose ! It was so
awesome! Tons of people came and it was a wonderful experience. We went out for
icecream after, I guess that's what you do when you get a baptism! So Michael
and rose are married and they have a little boy and they have been
investigators for 1 full year so it's really amazing that they finally got
baptized. And they actually were going to get divorced a week earlier. But we
taught them about families and how people have differences and how to work through
them together they are really awesome. Michael is a doctors he is a back pain
Doctor.
So Saturday we played basketball and then we went and ran
dogs again. Good workout! I got weights!! So of course I am working out! ;)
Elder Taylor's gave me is bench and his weights. It is raining like crazy.
Flooding everywhere.. It's awesome !!
Sunday we went to church and we had to teach gospel
doctrines class and Was cool. We taught on the Sacrament and what it does for
us. That night we went to a members house and ate this huge dinner it was..
Glory. Then I taught everyone about the family. That was my week of coolness!!!
Love you!!!!
Love,
Elder Brown
