April 9: We are divinely created love machines"

Hello Family and Friends,

HAPPY EASTER, I know I'm a day late...or am I? What time is it their again? Well we had a great Easter Weekend, Easter is big here, not like it is in the sates with chocolate, and eggs and bunnies, but the religious part of it is a big deal especially in the townships. 
Yesterday we had a stake speaker come to our unit. . His name was Patriarch Courtney and he was one of the most animated speakers I have ever seen. Imagine Micheal Cane (especially the accent) with a little longer hair and a little more bounce. He spoke about the Atonement of Jesus Christ, what it is, and how we can apply it in our lives. My favorite thing he said was "We are divinely created Love Machines" He must of surprised himself by saying so because he started laughing and repeated it. It was in the context of discussing the two greatest commandments the first being Love thy God and the second being Love thy Neighbor. Simply smiling at someone as we pass them on the street is a way of applying the atonement in our lives. It really was a great talk.

I attached a picture of a bunch of Easter egg cookies I made and designed for everyone at church. 

The work is going well, we're starting to teach a lot of people english through a curriculum provided by the church I'm enjoying doing that very much.

Hope you have a wonderful week,
Elder Brazee
