Nothing too much to talk about this week. I did my laundry and my colored load was too big so it didnt wash half of them and didnt dry any of them so our room had clothes hanging around for a couple days. It was the 50th anniversery of the provo mtc last tuesday so there was a rumor that the Prophet was going to come. So that tuesday the fireside was at 7 and there was already people in line at 4. The whole floor was taken for guests and all the left bleachers were for chior so we decided to just take our time and eat dinner because we thought we werent going to get a seat. So we ate dinner and looked at the line and it was way long and people were leaving because it was full. So we hung out and sat in the overflow behind all the people who skipped dinner and only got good seats in the overflow room. When we were singing the opening hymn a security guy came in and had rows stand up and leave the room and we were on the last row that was aloud to leave. So we got seats! We all learned a good lesson on how obedience helps. No Prophet but Elder Holland and Elder Nelson spoke it was pretty amazing!

The teachers pretend to be an investigator and companionships get to give real lessons to them and for one of ours we decided to start out by singing I am a Child of God in spanish. It went pretty bad, we were good for the first line but then I guess we started singing fast because we started finishing all the words on each line before the tune ended so our investigator/teacher busted up laughing and so did we so we couldnt finish the song because we were all laughing too much.

One day I think wednesday a guy teacher came in to help our girl teacher and it was so funny because he was flirting with her the whole time and she was playing him. It was even more funny because that same guy was going to sub for her the next night and we asked her specifically if she was going on a date and she said yes so we planned on letting our sub know why she needed him to teach that night. Also our newer teacher is really awesome. Elder S. asked him to show us how he ties his ties and he did and he always gives at least 3-4 soapboxes each lesson and he told us how he was going to propose to his girlfriend over the weekend so we are all so exited for him.

Fast Sunday was pretty rough they had us fast from saturday night dinner till sunday night dinner so we were all dying of hunger and when I got my food I got food on it in about 8 different spots. For church we had a district bear their testamonies and sing and Elder S. and Elder B. sang with them because they are all leaving this week. The one district is leaving for the field and the 2 elders from our district are going to the peru mtc. So after church we went on our usual Sunday temple walk and took alot of group pictures.

Well Thats about all I have to say about that. Oh yeah, things I need...since there is a "freebox" for leaving elders to put all their extra stuff in I think I will be good with alot of stuff. It would be really cool if someone could find the Nacho Libre soundtrack because we sing those songs alot. Also I need to Know how everyone is doing and by everyone I mean everyone, and my stuff. Sorry I cant get any pictures up till I get to mexico but dont worry we are taking some good ones. Oh yeah our teacher was telling us about getting robbed and how some theifs are religious. They say to put stickers on packages and stuff but the weird thing is that they respect the Virgin Mary stickers more than the Jesus stickers. So that would be cool if I could get some Virgin Mary stickers to put on my stuff.

Oh yeah again, spanish is coming along just fine we memorized a bunch of stuff like the baptisimal prayer, baptisimal invite, missionary purpose, first vision (2 verses of it) and we can say alot more and ask alot more questions so yeah its coming along just fine.

So yeah feel free to write me tons because dearelder.com is free!

Love, Elder Brown

P.S. Hmm I guess the timer is an empty threat time of deal because its going in the minus seconds and still letting me stay on the website. So when you write could you guys please tell me about the outside world. I only found about mitt romney winning in florida because they announced it in that huge tuesday fireside, and I had to find out from different Elders who won the superbowl. So yeah
