My Birthday was good, my comp and a couple other elders I know took me out for breakfast which was nice and ya, your package made it alright thanks for the shirt and ties and CD they are all awesome. This week was the last week of the transfer and nothing much happened, I am not getting transferred but my comp is which is kinda a bummer. Of the 8 transfers I been out I've had 7 comps one every transfer, so I'm getting to know quite a few different people. All in all though it was a good week, this week though we should have two baptisms thought which is awesome one is for an older lady 77 yrs old who is all messed up with arthritis and stuff she is way funny though and like the sweetest old lady ya could meet. her name is Sister Bartolini and the second one is Mary Florence she is not as old as Sister Bartolini and she is awesome as well she has a 40 something years old son that lives with her that thinks he has been taken over by Jesus it is a really weird situation with him, on Thursday we are going over to go give him a blessing to maybe cast out whatever is tormenting him. But anyway it will be interesting. Anyways I love and miss ya all a ton, be careful back there I'm not there to pick ya up lol, jk, god bless.

The Baptisms are set for the 6th and the 13th of this month. Well as far as this week it was a slow one as far as work goes. we moved out of our apartment and into a members home so we have been trying to get everything moved and cleaned up in the old place and get settled down in the new one. So we just went and visited less activities and the investigators we already have, didn't get any new ones but its still way awesome watching how they accept the gospel and teachings of Christ. This week one of our investigators Alex is going to go visit his Catholic Priest about being baptized into the LDS church his mom set it up so we are hoping and praying that it all goes well and the Priest doesn't like do something to not make him want to be baptized Alex has come a long ways too. I love ya all and miss ya.
Much Love Elder Brough

Well this past week was awesome we set 4 baptismal dates, one with Alex Ponze-Sanchez he is Mexican and has very strong Catholic roots but he is starting to let go of them and is willing to too, which is sweet he is a way funny guy too. He likes to go off subject a lot and go on about cake or painting and some random stuff, its kinda funny. Another one is with Roberto Rodrigeze we he speaks fluent English but his wife doesn't she speaks mainly Spanish she can understand English well enough and can say a few things but we are going to give them over to our roommates the Spanish elders that would be better for them. The other one her name is Mary she is in her 60's somewhere the awesome thing about her is she found us we didn't find her last Sunday she just walked into sacrament meeting and wanted to know more about church and so we taught her and have a date it was pretty sweet. The last one is a 77 year old lady who her health is degrading so she is on her way in the next year or two. Her name is Sister Bartolini she is awesome too she understand everything and is just awesome she just one of those funny old people. lol. I love ya all tons keep up the good work make sure to do your home and visiting teaching the best way to do missionary work is that of the members. Live the gospel, testify of the gospel. Fasefua.
