Hey fam! Happy Easter :)
I got the package! Got it in the mail just a little bit ago. So I'll finish going through it later, but I read the easter card at least. The song was funny :) thank you so much for being willing to send me packages so often. How often did you send stuff for Jeren? Maybe he was just more prepared and less "needy" than I am. haha. I do appreciate it though :)
I really liked Elder Oak's talk too. It was my favorite from that morning session.
We're baptizing Amber this Saturday! She is still going to move to San Diego (Escondido actually) with Mariah and Cody (Mariah and Cody already moved) but is getting baptized here first. So that's way exciting! It will be Wrightwood's first baptism since November. She's progressed really well. It's been way cool to see her testimony grow. She came to us last Tuesday and said "so... I had 3 different dreams about baptism." She prayed about it after she woke up in the middle of the night the 3rd night she dreamt about it. Way cool :)
We continue to do service. We've helped some families in Phelan move and spent a nice afternoon this last week walking through the town picking up trash (we'd asked the chamber of commerce if there was service we could do for the town).
I've had some pretty cool experiences playing basketball. Not like... missionary experiences... but like, unexpected compliments. We play Wednesday nights at the church and a lot of non-members come. The first game my team lost but I scored 6 of our 10 points. We only play to 11 so we can rotate more teams in because a lot of people come. But I sat on the edge of the stage afterwards and there was a high priest from our ward that just looked at me, nodding his head and smiling. He said "You're quite a baller Browning. So you played in high school?" It's disappointing to have to tell people that I never did. We played a game called gatorball or smashball today, which is like rugby mixed with soccer. We play in the gym and the goals are two folding chairs, one at each end of the room. The object of the game is to either throw the ball or kick it and hit the chair. You can only hold the ball if someone else kicks it up to you, and if someone from the other team tags you, you have to drop it. It's way fun! Now I'm way tired though. haha

Hey I did have a question. I got Suzanne's letter with Nathan's address... but is it pouch mail? What does that mean then, and what steps/rules do I need to know and follow about writing him?
Another heads up: next week, my zone is going to the temple so P-Day with be WEDnesday. Thus, I won't email until Wednesday next week (the 18th). Just didn't want you fretting when you don't hear from me next Monday :)
I love you guys! I really do :) I'll send baptism pictures next week!
Love,
Elder Browning
