Hello Everyone,
It was a great week. I feel much much better, I'm not sure what I had I think maybe my body is just still adjusting to things over here. The water and food and things. hopefully this wont be a regular thing because it's painful and boring but I dont think it will be. I did get to celebrate Thanksgiving in a way. We were going to try and make a big meal since there is three Americans in the boarding but lack of time, talent, and resources sort of put a stop to that so we settled with all getting kota's for lunch. Kota's are a quarter loaf of bread hollowed out and filled with palony, vienna's and chips. topped with cheese. A beautiful example of the potential of the creative mind. But that was going to be the extent of our Thanksgiving celebrations. Then at our last appointment that night a very nice Mme informed us that she had made dinner for us and the other missionaries to eat at home. She told us we could grab it on the way out. We were expecting maybe a sandwich or something. To our surprise she stacked into our arms 7-8 large tupperware containers filled with meat and potato's and sides and cake and everything you could dream of. So that night we had Thanksgiving after all.
This upcoming weekend will be our Christmas conference. I'm very excited. They've asked me to do another musical number I wonder how many times its going to take them that I'm really just a one trick pony. Also I'll get mail! so that's something to look forward to. It's been about 6 weeks.
I'm really enjoying my area and this work. I love to see the growth of these wonderful people as they make righteous changes in their lives. Familys growing closer together young boys becoming men, girls becoming valiante daughters of God. It's all possible through the all encompassing Gospel of Jesus Christ. I'm especially excited to be entering into this Christmas season. It really is the most wonderful time of the year.
Love,
Elder Brazee
