I hope you two don’t fight to much over who get's to write first when you’re trying to email me...I do have a very random question for the both of you, what
color are the eggs in America? I saw a white egg in the store and I was
like wow! I have never seen a white egg before, and then elder Rose told me
that all eggs are white in America....and I honestly cannot recall an
egg looking any different then brown. So if you could just let me know
it’s been bothering me for quite some time.
I gave my pair of shoes to this guy in my last area, then I also gave my other suit to Nelson and
a couple pair of shirts, I also gave away some pants to some
investigators in this area because they did not fit me anymore. But I
still have lots of stuff so don’t worry. But ya, I was very glad to
finally find a pair of shoes that fit me.
I’m not sure how many baptisms I have...I think its 20 something maybe
30 but I’m not sure, I’ll have to check when I go back to the flat. In
preach my gospel there is a place where you can write all of your
baptisms so ill have to count. We should be having 2-3 more this
month, we could get 5 but we are just hoping to achieve the goal of 2 for
this month.
Glad you guys had fun with grandma. It sounds like she misses grandpa
a lot. I wish I was able to see her as well, but I will be able to when I
get back.
You saw Harry Potter? How many Harry Potter movies are there? I
swear this is like the 9th or 10th one? A movie you should go see is
Captain America. I really wanted to see that before I left and I saw a
billboard for it. So go and see it, then you can tell me how it is. Man, talking about
football makes me trunky, but I like you guys giving me updates. That’s
sweet that they won their first game...even if it was by a small
amount it still counts as a win.
The week has been really good though, we started teaching Tsholos (one of
our Rc) friends, Her name is Gone, when I get back I will have to
teach you guys how to pronounce these names because they are not
pronounced as they look at all. But her friend is pretty cool we have
been teaching her a lot lately, she was like extremely into her last
church which was like a happy clappy church, at first she had a
very hard time excepting the things we were teaching her, but now she
progressing really well. We told her that we are not there to convince
her and that the only way that she will know if this is true is by
praying. Then she told us that she was already convinced by are
teaching...ha-ha, kind of cool but not good. She still needs to pray. She
also has like piercings all over her face, we were talking about
that last time we were there and it was super awkward. She asked us if
her piercings are bad and my companion turned to me and said "uh, my
companion can answer that for you." I felt like I was shambocking her
but she finally understood. She also has a crush on my companion...which is not good! She always tries to sit really close to him( ha-ha) and one time she was like pretending that she had something
in her eye and she asked him to get it out, it was really funny and I
never let him forget that. If she was not progressing so well we would
probably drop her but we can’t. It’s sweet on mission to just see people change so much. When we first started teaching her she like screamed Jesus in her prayers and acted like she was being tortured or something when she was praying, but now she is calming down.
The other day me and my companion went and got new backpacks as well
and there are these two soccer teams in South Africa called the
Chiefs and the Pirates. They are like huge rivals, so we found some
Chiefs and Pirates backpacks. I got the chiefs one and he got the
Pirates one, so it looks pretty sweet when we are walking side by side
down the street with are backpacks on. We think it will be a good
trackting method...
But it’s great to hear from you guys! I love you a lot and I will hear from
you guys next week, take care.
Love
Elder Justin Brey
