Hey Family,
It's been a bit of an up and down week. First of all I'm getting a new companion in a couple of days his name is Elder Diseko and he's from right here in ZA. I'll tell you more about him when I meet him. Also I wanted to send you some pictures finally but it seems the computer I'm using doesn't want to work properly so maybe next week. We had a lot of people at church yesterday and we've really made some break through's with some of our investigators which is great. It was a bummer though when we went to stop by one of the young men's house who was recently baptized as soon as the door opened a thick cloud of Dagga (South African marijuana) smacked us in the face, and we saw all manner of lasciviousness happening inside. He was embarrassed and we were heartbroken. But our love for him and desire to help make the changes he has so earnestly begged to help him with are unfeigned.
I don't think I mentioned that one of my flat mates is an Elder named Elder Apuna, he's from Hawaii and worked at the Polynesian Cultural center before mission. He's teaching me how to fire dance and we're working out together every morning so I'm not going to lie I'm getting pretty fit. Which is nice. Also just a tip I have received from some other missionaries if anyone is planning on sending me anything for Christmas it would be best to send it before the end of October if you want me to get it on time or at all.
This mission is the hardest thing I've ever done, but I know I am where I am supposed to be, I know this is Christ's church and I know he has guided me to people who need the gospel in there lives, even last night one women we were teaching told us about how she prayed to God for us to come to her house. This work is the work of the Lord there is no doubt about it, and I can not be ashamed for doing it.
Love and miss you all,
Elder Scott Milton Brazee
Dear Family,
The cheapest way to get packages to Scott is to fill a priority mail envelope. The card board kind. I know that he just wants to hear from us so please don't send anything expensive, just let him know that he is in your thoughts. I will try to get something out to him by the end of September if you want to give me something to send to him form you. Please make an effort to send him a card or something. I think he needs his family right now and besides keeping him in our prayers and sending e-mails, I believe he needs something tangible in his hands.
Love you all,
Cheri :)
