The elders in Calvin's district

Family,

Hows it going? I feel like I have been here for years. This past week I jamed my thunb playing volley ball. It was a lot of fun till that happened.  I didnt want to go to the docter cause then I couldn't play the next day so I just left it.

jammed thumb from playing volleyball during gym time.

 That happened on Tuesday, then on Wednesday I played soccer and scored 3 or 4 goals. It was awesome! I usually write down stuff I want to tell you guys but I always forget it. Today Elder  Young and I got to leave the campus to go get my pants fixed. My pocket in my suit pants ripped on the side and my gray pants ripped in the crotch. It was kinda weird being in the real world for half an hour. I am in Alma 32 trying to read it all a week early now and finish a week before I leave the MTC. The language is not really going anywhere I feel like everyone else is learning still and I am not learning anything but hopefully soon I will catch up.  

Testifying of Christ can sometimes be awkward but Satan totally uses that to his advantage to make us not open our mouths so whenever you get a prompting and it feels awkward say it you will help in destroying Satan's kingdom. 

We really need to work on planning for our investigators. I have really noticed how much it helps and how the spirit only helps you when you actually plan.

 The visa thing is really only a problem for Brazil. There are so many people waiting. 

 I also stubbed my toe. It was a big blood blister though.

Tuesday we left the devotional early because my companion wasn't feeling too good. We were singing in the choir and he leaned over and said lets go! We went back to our room and then later we gave him a blessing and about ten minutes later he puked and then he felt great haha. I can't remember anything else that happened but next week I will have some of my notes from devotionals and stuff like that that I will tell you guys about.

Love,

Elder Brown
