Oh boy, I can't even begin to tell you all how much I love
you!!! And also. ...how much I love my mission!!! These 2 years are
flying by, and whew...when was my return date again...June 2016??? I'm sure
the next year is going to go by before I even know it...;)
As for the current news here in GaoXiong...hmmm, probably a
toasty 100f with NO chance of wind and snow coming in sometime in the
millenium!!!
Elder Pennington and I have been hitting it hard this week --
on the streets, on the ward, on the bikes, and even this morning...on the
court! ;) We love this area. Within the first several hours of our
arrival (i.e. Monday Night), we realized we were facing a decent challenge here
in FengShan. But as far as we're concerned negativity has never been in my
planner, let alone in God's. I've seen miracles as a ward works together
in Faith to Hasten the Work of Salvation, not only in the ward setting, but in
homes and family lives as well! |
| I love the Nantou
ward, and will miss them dearly!!! (I believe these are all the members who came into the ward while Drew was serving in Nantou) |
We're doing so so so GREAT!!! I love it and instead of
"dealing with the heat," we've decided to wholeheartedly embrace
it...oh yeah!!!
From what we've seen, these members are AMAZING, and we're
out to help them, their friends, their neighbors, and their families become
even more so...get ready for some miracles baby!!!
On the mission front, wow, we've got such a great district
and area here.
We have 4 new amis this week: Yu: from English, has had some
spiritual experiences praying when she was younger...but her dad din't let her
go out...now she's in college...yeah!!!
N,. shy guy, has an earring, met missionaries in Daliao, our
neighboring district, and loves church and activities!!! He'll make it!!!
A grandma who added from our spiritual share at Eng
class...I'm the small kids teacher again :) And we'll see her on
Wednesday...she wants the Book of Mormon!!!
Then J C--cool guy who wants to join all churches...ummm,
don't think so buddy, but we'll help you know for yourself why!!!
I have so much fun here -- thank you for your prayers!!!
Elder Pennington, Page and Stuart are all AWESOME!!! We're fun and
friends!!!
I love my mission and hope I can leave it all on the Track
now!!!
Love You,
Love Drew
PS played soccer, frizbee, this week and Played Basketball
with the mega District today...great!!!
Oh PS I've been learning and studying how important
Gospel Study is throughout our entire lives, not just here, PMG takes on a
whole new meaning in Chapter 2 especially when you realize and feel the calling
to share His Gospel...is not just on a 2-year time frame. But that makes
it all the happier.
Love Elder Brown
We sweat forever here...and are LOVING it!!!
two things: 1) This Zone Conference I will give my "Reflection" Kind of like a farewell talk ON the Mission...
2) Elder Pennington and I Whitewashed, and therefore,
I hope I don't lose my food budget, haha, ...next to losing the spirit I can't
see a more dire circumstance...
3)I love that story (the boy who sold his violin to serve a
mission), I'm so grateful for the chance I have to sacrifice and serve now.
Love Drew,
Love Elder Brown
YEAH TREVOR!!!!! I am praying whenever I go over your
name that you're gonna get up and over 15'
...and you so got it, wahoooooooo!!! 加油加油加油！！！
You're right about the mission too, crazy to think that next...it'll be you!!!
Mom and Dad, that does sound like a
blast....thanks for going to see my alma mater for me....ahhhh!!!
About Mother's day -- I LOVE YOU MOM!!!!! We are
thinking we will try to talk with you all on Saturday night for you, Sunday
afternoon for us, about 1:00 here...10:00 there?!?!? Would that work???
