Hello Mom and Dad,
Seems like everything is going well, And I meant to say
Victor, Is kind of confusing because his father’s name is victor as well, lots
of people here name their children after them or they well name their children
the same name as there surname....which is really weird to me. I would not want my name to be Brey Brey, I
feel that would be strange, so sometimes I call him Vicky to avoid confusion…
so my bad. But his baptism was sweet it was a very stressful day. I think I already told you guys this but we
attend two wards, one is the young single adults ward and the other one is the
family ward, so the day is very long for us. We go to church around 10 and get back around
5-6 because of baptisms or meetings or
whatever else pops up. So I will never be complaining about going to church for
3 hours ever again. But anyway the baptism was really cool all in one day his
father received the priesthood so he could baptize his son, Victor (Vicky) got
baptized and then he also got confirmed. It was the first time on my mission
when someone got confirmed on their baptism day. So it was a pretty good day.
The week has been really good though, we recently baptized a
kid named Kennedy, he is like 26 years old and we were teaching them about
missionary work. A few times ago we gave
them like branch missionary badges, and the next time we came back Kennedy and
another member we were sitting down with this girl in the front yard teaching
her about the book of Mormon! Ha-ha it was really cool and kind of funny! Kennedy was all dressed up with his branch
missionary badge on (no one ever puts those on) it was pretty sweet. Then we
also ran into the ma that owns a tuck shop and she speaks like 2% English, but
we gave her a book of Mormon one time in swanna and she was reading it and she
was like in Alma! It was crazy! We asked
her if she likes it and she nodded her head. It’s just too bad because it’s
extremely hard to teach people who do not speak English and we were told by the
president not to really teach people that will not understand, but it’s just
sweet that she is reading it.
My companion will most likely be leaving this transfer which
is too bad…he and I really get along well. He has been one of my favorite companions, we
have fun together. The other day we were teaching one of our recent converts
Thsolo, and we are also teaching her mother and brother and her friend hoping
to baptize them in sep or October, but the funny thing is that we for the
longest time have not known the name of Tsholos brother so we always just call
him like man and brother and stuff and it’s kind of obvious that we do not know
his name. We have just been waiting for
one of them to say his name, and we were there last night and they yelled his
name (which was Kabe) and so my companion thought that he heard the name
correctly so he called his name and it was like so off from the actual name and
we just all started laughing it was pretty funny.
Hope you guys have fun at grandmas, tell her that I miss
here and love her lots. And don’t have too much fun in Vegas dad, we all know
you go crazy down there J
But, I love you guy’s a lot and hope the week goes well. Oh, I also forgot to say I bought some shoes this
last week if you did not notice I only had one pair of shoes because I gave
away the others and so 1 year on one pair of shoes gets kind of hard so I went
and bought some new ones that should last the rest of my mission. And just so
you know it is nearly impossible to find my size of shoe here, apparently I
have big feet... and no stores carry my size but I finally found some which
were about 500 pula which I think is about 60 bucks but just thought I should
let you know, sorry they were kind of expensive, I really hope to repay you
guys everything someday and thank you so much for all the support. Love you
guys!
Elder Justin Brey
