Last week of July!

Hi!
My week was pretty good. We had a couple lessons. Got a new investigator. And we had 5 investigators come to church!!! Ed and Jean are progressing really well. We taught them last week. They will be out of town till next this Saturday or Sunday so we won't be able to meet with them for a while. Kane is doing good. His real name is Dartazion. Kane is is rapper name. It's hard to meet with him because he flakes out a lot. But he's come to church the past 3 weeks. He hates that church is 3 hours. Dee Dee came as well as Andrew.

The worst part of the week is when we got food poisoning. It was Friday that I got sick.  It was bad. It started around 5:00 am when my stomach hurt really bad. the first time I threw up I didn't get to the toilet in time. Then the rest of my miserable day went from there. That was the second time that I have had food poisoning on my mission. Being sick on your mission is worse than getting sick at home because you can't do any thing besides rest. What I mean is that at home you have people to talk to, if you are feeling good then you can possibly watch tv. But as a missionary you can't do any thing. 


We were on bike for a few days after the sister crashed their car. But now we are back in a car. But instead of our Malibu we have a 2012 Ford Fusion. It's cool. The AC isn't as good which sucks. But at least we have a car.

Love,

Hello!

Hello!
All is going good here in Las Vegas Nevada. It's getting much hotter the past two weeks. The highest it's gotten is 115* that I know of. That was last Sunday the 13th. We are on bike now. The Sister Missionaries in our zone crashed their car so we had to give our up to them. :( It will be good though. Except the fact that it is now summer. And biking in this weather will be terrible. I hope it's not for too long. Our Zone Leaders said that the repair will take 2-6 weeks. But it will probably take longer than that.


Last Friday we were able to go up to Mt. Charleston and stay the evening with the ward for the ward camp out. I wish we could of stayed the night. It was a lot of fun anyways. I also got a few good pictures of a sunset.

Oh!! A crazy thing happened last week. We were playing morning sports and I got a black eye! It wasn't to bad. But still, a black eye?!? Crazy. I got hit in the face a few times with a soccer ball, then hit in the face by someones arm. I think the arm is what gave me the black eye.

We got two new investigators last week. Their names are Ed and Jean. They are an older couple. They are soooo golden. When we went to contact them for the first time a crazy thing happened. before we could say anything after they opened the door they said, "Come on in we've been waiting for you!" We were so happy. They had a lot of questions. So we did a Q&A lesson the first night. Then we set up a lesson for two days later!! And for that lesson we taught the Restoration. They always have a lot of questions so we were at their place for almost two hours!! They are awesome!

On Wednesday we had dinner with the Rawson's. Brother Rawson collects swords so we were able to hold a few of them. It was awesome. But the best part was that two of them were replicas from Lord Of The Rings!!! I was so happy!

I love you all!

Love,

Transfer time!

HI!!!
My new companion's name is Elder Beams. He is from Idaho. We came out together. We came out together and I didn't even know until I got my transfer call. It's funny how I barley know anyone that I came out with. Technically I didn't come out with anyone but myself because I came out a few days later because of my surgery. There were probably about 17 give or take a few missionaries that were in my group. I probably know 5-7 of them. Anyways. I am really excited to be get Elder Beams. I've heard that he is a great missionary and is really cool. He will be DL so I'll be DLB again. DL stands for District Leader and DLB stands for District Leaders Buddy.

The past few weeks have been really interesting. With Elder Park getting trunky I've gotten trunky! I've had a great time serving with him it will be hard to see him go.

Our AC ran out last week. it's been terrible!!!!

Have a great week!

Love,
Elder Brown
