Dear Family i am doing great here in argentina, next week is transfers so dont expect an e mail from me next week on monday. todays a funny day because we send a paper to the president telling all strengths and weeknesses to President Olsen. so its kind of funny. sounds like everyone had a good time out on the boat. this week we had a girl names agustina we had an interview for her baptism and she passed so she will be getting baptized this saturday. so we are pretty excited. on saturday we had a little miracle happen. a lady from buenos aires thats a member came to our area and told us to come to her house to talk to her mom thats not a member. so we went to the lesson and asked the daughter in the lesson why she wants us to teach her mom. and she just said i want my mom to get baptized. haha, so it was a good little lesson. we will see what happens with her. we hope the best. this week was a pretty hard week though. because my comp was sick and we didnt go out and work for 3 days then sunday came and he contaged me. so we didnt go out sunday either to week. but i feel a little bit better today. i just have a little headache but what ya going to do. my comp is struggling a bit because he only has 3 months left in the mission so he is getting a little trunky and thinking a bit about home. so i had to drop the cane on him a bit haha. but today i have 17 months in the mission and i am getting a little depressed about it. i dont want my mission to end. i still have a lot of time left but i know its going to come to an end. but dont worry day, i am going to endure to the end. i cant stand the missionaries that give up at the end of there mission. it just kills me. the closer i get to ending my mission the harder i work because i realize that it will end. but i am sorry i couldnt write everyone today we had to fill out a lot of paperwork so sorry. Megan i am happy that you only have 4 weekends left without fa a. that will be so fun. the time has gone so fast. but i love everyone and sorry for the short letter. love everyone.

what is this new word you guys are using? skyp? that is the stupidest word i have heard. haha just kidding. but its a funny word. the week went well, we had a few investigators in church. we should be getting a baptizm in a couple weeks so that will be fun. baptisms always make you feel so good haha. but our zone isnt doing to well. a lot of the zone are young missionaries so they dont know how to work very well. they dont know how to get people in church. but we are helping them a lot with that. because if we dont get our investigators to come on sunday we dont baptize on saturday. but other then that everything is doing well. i am glad you guys are using my computer to skyp with megan. that is the wierdest thing i have ever heard haha. i am glad its still running though. how is sabbie doing. how old is he now? mom i am glad you enjoyed the picture of me. i almost wasnt able to send it haha. when you frame the picture just make sure it doesnt look like you guys are worshipping me. i am sure the house is filled with pictures of me haha. i am glad the surprise party didnt get ruined and you actually were surprised haha. and when you send the package dr pepper has to be in there!! yes or yes!! thats a frase in spanish i dont know if it is one in english haha. and garments. i swear my companions steal from me. i am glad you liked the empanadas because i am going to be ordering a ton when i get home!! i love the argentine food! it is delicous. some of the foods arent too great but almost all of it is amazing. and the mission is really worried about us getting sick so we got a new rule to wash our hands 10 times a day yes or yes. but i love everyone so much, and your going to love the letters i sent to you mom and dad. i know you guys like my experiences so i went to the most real experience as i could get and i copied two pages out of my journal. one page goes to dad and the other goes to mom. ones a good experience and the other one is a bad one. just so ya know what the mission is like haha. love you and thanks for everything. i love reading the letters every week they are amazing. love you Elder Brown

Dear Family,i am so greatful uncle scott dropped the cane on you mom!!! haha, we only have an hour to be on the computer and i have to write president and tell him our plans and what we acheived, then i have to filll out a paper about everyones investigators in the zone and i have to send a paper in to president about what everyone acheived in the zone. and on top of that i have to read a bunch of e mails on the mission and what we need to do and then i need to read your e mails and then respond to everyone. and if the letter isnt long enough i get a cane from my mom haha. so i am glad uncle scott is on my side haha. and the kid that sent his mom tons of long letters and to everyone in the family definately was not doing what he should have been doing. haha, but we had a good week, not to many of our investigators went to church, only one. some investigators werent ready to get baptized so we had to drop them so we were a little sad about that. so we need to get finding. the mission is doing a new thing where everyone sees your numbers haha, so its pretty interesting. so thats why being a zone leader isnt too cool because if we have one bad week then our zone will say to themselves well if our zone leaders cant do it neither can we. so its kind of frustrating to think like that. but we are working hard so we havent had a bad week yet. we had a meeting with the leaders in the branch and the whole time everyone was just arguing and saying what needs to happen but they just talk about so many things and they dont talk about answers so basically it turns into them complaining about everything. but after about 30 minutes of listening to them complaining we told them that we had an appointment in 20 minutes so we have to go, but we wanted to share what we are doing. after we shared, everyone was saying yeah we could help the missionaries out more! lets help them! so hopefully they start helping us more. i got a package like 2 weeks ago and it had a milky way and some pants in it. the milky way was amazing!!! and its starting to get a little cooler here but i got everything i need so dont worry. keep sending me letters from Jeff and from Cody. i want to hear from those guys. especially good ol jeff. i hope you have a happy birthday. 50 years isnt too old!! haha, youre only 30 years older then me!! haha just kidding. love you and have a great birthday. tell everyone in the ward i say hi! chau!
