August 29, 2011

Hey Everyone!

This was a great week. Mail call was successful somewhat, I got a letter from Gabi she sent 2 months ago from Honduras I hope I didn’t make anyone feel bad, I didn’t mean to. So here’s a story for the week, I think the Lord has definitely prepared me to serve in this area at this time. Last Tuesday evening my companion informed me that we were doing an assembly for 750 elementary school students in the morning. “What are we going to do?” I asked “I don’t know.” He replied . It seemed like no one really knew what to do and the clock was ticking. Because of my experience as Rally commissioner in highschool and doing assemblies and things at the elementary school i was able to, merely hours before, create an assembly complete with musical numbers, skits, and games to keep the children involved and interested for the whole hour. Afterwards the principal invited us back the next year and many of the teachers complimented us on how well prepared we were. It was a blessing for sure. Attached is a car wash sign I painted for a guy named Lawrence, he's trying to turn his life around and this is part of his small business. The Branch here is getting stronger everyday, and we're led by a great Branch President. His name is President Zuma and he loves Jazz and refuses to cut his dreads, he's awesome and inspirational. I'm still struggling to get peoples names down so if anyone has any tips on memorizing peoples names when they are in a different language they would be greatly appreciated.
Some things I could use/have been craving that I can think of at the moment would be:
Twizzlers
Pop-Tarts
A new sketchbook
if its possible a Sotho English Zulu dictionary.

I Love you all I wanted to write more but time is very short today,

Elder Brazee
