Lots of ups and downs. My birthday was okay, just another day really. It was Zone conference that day.Elder Evans was great, really very inspiring. Taught us a lot. He made the big announcement that we are shifting are focus a bit as far a missionary work is concerned. Less knocking on doors, more rescuing.
I had quite a jarring experience last night. For privacy's sake wont go into detail. I can just say this: Beyond my convictions as a latter-day saint I will never touch alcohol simply because of the way I've witnessed now first hand the way it's tearing apart peoples lives. Men, women, children, it doesn't matter it has no mercy. Maybe its going overboard, maybe, but drinking alcohol for fun seems to me like using napalm to weed you garden. It's no joke, this stuff really ruins lives.
The formula is simple, obey the commandments and be blessed, disobey and be punished. Even when you are obeying it doesn't make life easier, but it does make it easier to handle. and you avoid many unnecessary complication, of THAT I testify.
Thank you all for the birthday wishes I appreciate it.
Love,
Elder Scott Brazee
Here are some pictures, a couple of my off the hook 23rd birthday party. One of the biggest Demon-Moth I've ever seen. one of my best friend Bunu on the top of our car in traditional Zulu gear and one of me doing some man work
