Greetings to all!
A very merry week before Halloween! We are
looking into jack-o-lanterns this year, Elder Rhodes and I, not sure how the
Chileans missed out on understanding that you have to sell whole pumpkins
around Halloween, but they did. But, so help me, I will be cutting a face into
a squash this year, one way or another.
It has been a great week! E was
baptized on Saturday. We put a little more effort into really make it a great
experience, and it went well. The members did pretty much everything, it was
great. The new bishop here is great, and I am sure that the ward will see great
changes with him.
We also have been teaching G, who
came to church! She is a nice older lady who really wants to learn and come to
church, so that is good.
Having lots of fun; this morning, Elder
Rhodes and I went on a cool long trail run (not that long, it was super muddy,
fun stuff) to see a little waterfall we had hear about but it wasn’t actually that
cool. Kinda cool, but not that cool. Thinking about maybe doing more trail runs
after the mish, like one of those crazy runs like the Squaw Peak fifty. That
would be Bacon (shout out to Elder Carter).
It’s amazing to see the progress in
people as they change their lives and learn that accepting Christ is more than
just empty words, but making changes. I have been studying Jesus the Christ, and it’s interesting to see just how perfect His
example really was, and how everything that Christ taught was meant to be
applied. Those that speak and don’t apply, as he pointed out many times, are
the hypocrites and will fall under the heaviest condemnation. Yikes. Sounds
like I have work to do...
Anyways, we are working hard to be
diligent and talk with lots more people as Elder Ballard says! The work is
great and will go on!
Love you all and have a great week!
Elder Brown
