Hello Everyone,
Well remember when I got my call and it said South Africa and I thought I wouldn't so much as need a long sleeved shirt and than how today I woke up and it was snowing. Yeah, me too. Don't worry though I'm staying warm. The official spelling of my area is Phutaditjahaba in the Qwa-Qwa province. It really is beautiful here it reminds me a lot of the high desert or southern Utah. Except everyone speaks Sotho (pronounced soo-too) and I'm the only white kid with in a hundred K's. My companion is Elder Ntombela from Jo-burg. He's a great missionary really wants to work hard, which is good. The Branch I'm in is very very new, in fact it was only established two weeks ago, before that it was just a group. This Sunday we ordained five guys to the Aaronic priesthood, the growth here is amazing and I am grateful to come here at such an exciting time. I've got a very warm welcome so far the people here are very very nice. I'm struggling a little with the language barrier but I know its just a short matter of time before I hop over it. We live in an old house with two other missionaries one of them Elder Apuna is from Hawaii. The other is Elder Kaseke from Zim. We've meshed really well so far. I think I've answered all your questions so far. Sacrament meeting was very powerful yesterday we meet in a school house down the street from where we live. IT'S AMAZING no matter where you go in the whole wide world no matter how new the Branch is no matter how few there are, or how many the feeling is still the same. I love Sundays so much because no matter where I am I feel at home. I try and send some pictures next week.
Love Elder Brazee
