Trains, Planes, & Automobiles

Dear Browning family,

 

You sold my car! I'm saddened because I really loved that silly car but happy that you got 2500 for it! Way to go :) and kudos to Ryan (who found the buyer)! What a fine young man he's becoming. Oh, and I should (hopefully) have something for Aubree and Ryan in the mail this week. Hopefully they're not to antsy.

 

Well it's been an exciting week. We tracted into a young married couple who were interested in learning more. We left them with a Book of Mormon and they said they would read it and that we could come back in a week. Guess sometimes you do get lucky while tracting. Haha

There is a recently no-longer-less-active couple in our ward that we were visiting on Saturday and the girl (Mariah) had her best friend Amber over, who is a non-member. She was very interested and had a lot of good questions. Like "how can you know that Joseph smith was a prophet?" and we said "by reading the Book of Mormon!" and she was like "Oh! Okay :)" she came to all 3 hours of church yesterday and we'll be meeting with her later this week.

 

Funny story. Or interesting. Anyways, we had dinner last night with the Jorgenson family. Name ring any distant bells mom? They were in grandpa and grandma Snow's ward in the late 1970s up to about 1982. It was so funny to find out about that connection! Sister Jorgenson admired Linda and served with her in Young Women's at the time. Crazy. What a small world.

 

I has paper. and envelopes. and stamps (Wadsworth just gave me like 14 more). He finished off my nutella like a week ago. I accidentally got him hooked haha.

Thanks for getting me Krissa's address :) I knew is was three-five-two...something. Haha.

 

Emily Bigelow wrote me a letter. And Sarah Wood. It took a while for me to get them because the office didn't have an address for me where I'm at. I was there Wednesday though and got it straightened out. I also just got a letter from Miranda Hathaway that I haven't opened yet. Letters are awesome :) it's like opening up facebook and having a bazillion new and applicable notifications. Or something. Haha. I just wish I had more time to write replies.

 

As far as stuff you can send me... it would be nice to have another shirt that I didn't care about and could wear for service. The same goes for shoes, but I'll try and pick up a pair out here. I was thinking of the cookbook that you made Jeren. Did he say he used it much? That might be cool to have. If you still have my call packet, I'd like to have that. I don't have a map of the mission and I remember there being one in there.

I think there was something else but I can't remember what it was... haha. Oh well. Nothing is urgent though, so no worries :)

 

I'll keep them in my prayers. And another London missionary huh (Sam Merrill)? Jarom Hyde and Dalton Barnes are both in England but only one of them is in London and I don't remember which. That's crazy though.

 

Dad, I enjoy the input you have in your emails every week. They mean a lot :)

Finding efforts have been very lucky this last week, but otherwise it is very slow. We'll continue to keep working hard either way though.

 

Megan, congrats :) you just keep getting better and better! I remember you saying you maybe weren't going to do dance next year... are your plans still the same?

 

Elder Wadsworth and I went hiking this morning up the "Mormon Rocks." Gnarly looking rocks to be sure. I have a picture of him and me at the top that I'll send in a minute and I'll try and get one of the whole big rock next time we drive past, along with one of my area.

 

I sure love you guys :) Thanks for keeping me updated on all the going-ons each week. I haven't heard back from Desi, Mom you said that she told you she got my letter though? Good. That's really what matters.

 

The gospel is true. God hears and answers our prayers.

Love,

Elder Browning
