Here are some of the first pictures and parts of some of the first few letters that we received from Elder Brey! I am pretty much copy and pasting his letters just as he writes them, but I am taking out some of the more personal stuff and leaving you with the stories and other things that are mostly about his mission. Most of these letters are to the family or to my parents, but there are some great stories, and it's fun to hear about all the good he is doing in Africa!
Dear Family, I'm doing pretty good, i was actually sent to Botswana in a little farming town called Matuti...not quite sure how to spell it, my companion name is Elder HuvelerH, he is from Switzerland and we live with another companionship elder mcnelly and elder sovia Elder Mcnelly is from Scotland and Elder Sovia is from Kenya, they are all really cool and we get along great.
Are p day is on Monday now, but i really like are area we live on a farm in a little crappy shack pretty much but i think its kinda cool, i cut off a chickens head the other day and pealed of the feathers and boiled it and everything i got blood all over me! It was kinda cool but very sick, the people hear are so nice and everyone is interested in the gospel, there is a laddy here we call ma and she gave me the name Tupaloo...it means prayer so some of the people hear call me Tupaloo.
You should see the spiders in are place, they are huge! and they are all over the place, bugs everywhere, i hate it but I'm not really scared of them anymore, there is a lizard that crawls around and eats them his name is Larry the lizard, it is so freaking hot in Botswana, you have no idea, I'm still putting on lots of weight tho for some reason.
I actually just spent about 50 dollars today on a guitar! the president said i could have one, i was playing in the street just a little while ago and we got like 4 new contacts, it was kinda cool, hopefully we can use it to are advantage. Well i love you guys very much and i am starting to miss you guys but ill be fine, thanks for all the support.
Love, Elder Brey
