Baptism
Things are actually going very well. We had lots of lessons this week and I'm starting to get the hang of being social. I don't keep a journal. I've actually brought one with intentions to start writing in it but it's hard. I'll try to tell you more about my experiences. 
Izzys dad came to her baptism and also her confirmation yesterday and he's not a member. He is a really nice guy. Her mom is more active now. 
Alex's birthday was this week and we made him brownies. He's still struggling with his addictions but I think he's doing better. 
I'll try writing you guys a letter today. Justin is a beast. I don't know how you do it Justin.

Love talking to you! (would be nice if he loved talking just a little bit more)

FUFU FOR DINNER

Hi family! I'm not dead yet! I can't wait until I get your letters. I'll probably get them soon. Feel free to send some jerky, or a nice root beer (don't worry I'm not starving). We had fufu last Saturday at a member's house. It's a south African food we had to eat it with our hands. I wouldn't suggest serving it at mocha cabanas. It's sort of like mashed potatoes but really thick like a dough. It's not to bad at first but after a wile you can't swallow any more without gagging. But it didn't taste awful. I have pictures of me and the other missionaries eating some but i forgot my camera today so no pictures this week. I'll be sure to send the pictures next week. Does Baxter miss me? My allergies has been bugging me lately. There is no way any John Wayne movie could be better than The Good The Bad And The Ugly. Ask Justin; he'll tell you. We are trying to find ways to get the ward involved in missionary work. We have some members that are really good (The Tucker family is grate) but we need the whole ward to get involved. Missionary work is not just giving away pass along cards. That's actually rather ineffective. I think church activities might be a very good way to do missionary work. I haven't received your letters yet but I imagine I will soon if you sent them directly to my flat (Flat3, Elgin Court, 12 Bramley Hill, South Croydon, Surrey CR2 6LY) rather than the mission office. I will wright a letter eventually and send it your way.


We will post 1 picture that Elder Fisher's Mission Persident sent to Mom and Dad. This is of his mission President the presidents wife and Elder Fishers companion. This is a picture of a picture.

We will post any picture that Elder Fisher sends next week

Debit card solved

After his last weeks e-mail both Alysa and Mike were at the bank. Don't know if it was the bank or what but things are solved. He wrote: "ya i'm ok, i just wanted to buy a new bag, i got money from my card the next day so there's no problem."

This weeks email came in   "I'm still alive. I got your 

letters at zone training on the third  of September. I love 

them. If you want to send me more it's 

probably best if you send it to my flat. the address is: The 

Resident, Flat3, Elgin Court, 12 Bramley Hill, South 

Croydon, Surrey CR2 6LY. I will maybe send you guys 

letters some time. I lied about Izzys age. She's 9 and she's 

very exited to be baptised. Alex is awesome. He gave me 

and my companion awesome hair cuts. We are planning on 

going to the churches addiction recovery program with him 

some time. Daren is a 14 year old who is not a member but 

he goes to early morning seminary. we are working with him 

but I think his uncle and aunt (whom he lives with) are 

hesitant about the church. We are trying to befriend 

them. We are always busy as missionaries. Last Sunday I 

gave a talk in church. I didn't have much time to wright it so 

half of it was said on the spot. It went surprisingly well. Love 

hearing from you guys. I'm running out of time for emailing. 

Then he sent some pictures to go along with the note. First 

off is the library where he writes these wonderful e-mails:

Me and my old MTC companion:

This one is me and my companion (Matt Johnson from Raymond with my old MTC room mate photobombing in the background).

A couple of other random pics:

First Baptism & Hair Cut

Another letter from Brandon. 

I don't have many pictures and i don't have any of Elder Johnson but I'll take some and send them to you next week. I think i can only send three pictures at a time. The computers at this library are a bit weird. But they are upgrading their computers so we'll see if things work then. I'll try sending some now. The first two are from the MTC and the last one is from this morning. I have a question about my ATB card. Can i use it at all here? I tried using it at an ATM and it didn't work. I tried it at a store and it didn't work. We have one baptism in two weeks from now. Her name is Lizzy, she's 10 years old and her mom is less active. But her mom wants her to be baptized and she does as well. There's a barber named Alex and he is an alcoholic. He's an awesome guy but he's having a really hard time with addictions. He feels really bad about how it affects his wife and kid. He loves the Mormon messages videos. He's cutting our hair today. Most other people I've only met once. The Members in the ward are awesome. We had dinner at the Tucker family a few days ago and they're grate. Did you go to Fort Macleod when they were filming that movie? How is everyone doing? Any changes around the house?
