Transfer time!

Hey!
So I will be getting transferred today. I will be heading south to the Las Vegas Zone in the West Cliff Ward!! And my new companion will be Elder D. He came out April or May of last year. It is more of a ghetto area which is good because I have wanted to go to the ghetto! For my whole mission so far I've been in areas where people aren't poor. They've been more of rich areas. In my new area it's about half ghetto and half not. I'm really excited!

Nothing really crazy happened this week. But I did take a package of Pop-Its, opened all the pop-its and emptied all the rocks into some toilet paper. I then wrapped the toilet paper up and make a huge Pop-It!!! When I threw it on the ground the noise was really loud. Take the noise of 1 pop-it and times that by 50. Then add the echo that it had and thats how loud it was. It was way cool.

We've had dinner appointments every day the past few weeks. That's really nice.

Most of the times I put my hand out to kids for a low/high five or have them bump fists. But the best is when they come to you and want you to do it to them. And whats better is when they come to you and want to give you a hug. I love that so much.

Love,
Elder Brown

11 months!

HI!
Today is my 11th month mark!!!!!!! Crazy! I am going to celebrate by having a huge coke float! 
It's been plenty hot here. But it's dry and not humid which I love. The hottest that I have seen so far is 115*!!! If it was 115* with humidity like in Georgia. I would cry. hahaha


We had 3 investigators a church. Ed, Jean, and Andrew. Ed and Jean are progressing really well. We taught them last last week on Monday, last two days ago on Saturday, we'll teach them tonight, and have a lesson lined up for this Wednesday. I'm really excited. Last Saturday we taught part of the Plan of Salvation and tonight we are teaching them the rest. We are also planning on setting them with a date for the end of this month. John Hull has been extremely flaky the past few weeks. He doesn't answer our calls or call back when we leave a message, we text him and he doesn't reply. We also go by his house to talk with him and he doesn't even answer his door. It is extremely frustrating. We are planning on dropping him. But we aren't allowed to drop people without meeting them and telling them that we are dropping them. So I have gotten very frustrated at him because we can't set up a time to meet with him.

Love,
Elder Brown
