Fire Works

 I wanted to send you more pictures today and I was going to buy a usb cord for my camera this morning but all the stores were closed and our computers were already booked for 11:30 so no pictures this week. There was a big car rally that went through Croydon Sunday morning so we saw  lots of really old 19th century cars and I got some pictures while we were waiting for the bus to church. You'll get some pictures next week. 

I started a letter last week but didn't have time to finish it and we're only allowed to wright letters on p-day so maybe I'll finish it today if I have time. We really don't have time for anything. P-day really isn't a day off. 

Alex is doing really good. He's still clean. We visit him every day now at his shop. 

People here really like their fireworks. This past week there have been fireworks every night all over the city. And not just cheap fireworks but full on shoes! Every night sounds like we live in a battlefield. 

We have a baptism planned for the 17th but he needs to give up smoking before then. His name is Dennis. 

Well I'm running out of time so talk to you next week.


A letter to Britt who Brandon is encouraging to go on a mission. This is Brandon telling her about his decision to go:

"One thing that helped me was thinking about what my future would be like if I didn't go on a mission and comparing it to the blessings I would receive from going. I didn't want to regret not going and knew I wouldn't regret going.  Missionary life is not what you expect it to be. You get past your fears pretty fast. I know you will love it. Especially the MTC (if it's as good as the one I went to). I know you will go on a mission, you just need to hurry up and make the decision."
