The Last Melon...

HEY EVERYBODY! How is everybody doing? :) We are just going hambony in the paint here in Chile! Such a great week! Startin with the questions like always. :)

-This week we were veryyyy busy. It was great! Elder Harries and I only have had 4 hours in our sector this whole week. We have been traveling all around the mission capacitating and doing divisions. This week we also had our ¨trunky day¨ where we went to the temple to give accounting, went to lunch with President and the Hna Barreiros, and then we went to the airport to take pictures. Crazy!!
-We didnt go to the coast this week because we had to go visit a diferent zone. 
-I got over my allergies I think... :)

Well, as some of you may know... this is my last email I will send home from Chile as a representative of Jesus Christ. So I am going to tell a quick story.

I remember when I first got here to Chile. I didnt know spanish... I didnt even know the doctrine of Jesus Christ very well. Well, we were trained a little bit in the CCM (MTC) until the day came that it was time to leave. I remember feeling nervous because I had learned to love the teachers, companions, etc. I left the CCM (MTC), I remember that the AP´s of President came to pick us up. On the way to Presidents house I remember that one of the missionaries asked me if I wanted to contact someone on the subway. Hahaha i remembered thinking, ¨Are you crazy?¨ But I remembered some of my favorite verses from the Book of Mormon (Read Verse  4, then 3):
3 Now they were desirous that salvation should be declared to every creature, for they could not bear that any human soul should perish; yea, even the very thoughtsthat any soul should endure endless torment did cause them to quake and tremble.
 4 And thus did the Spirit of the Lord work upon them, for they were the very vilest of sinners. And the Lord saw fit in his infinite mercy to spare them; nevertheless they suffered much anguish of soul because of their iniquities,suffering much and fearing that they should be cast off forever.
I remembered that the sons of Mosiah were so hyped to share the gospel with everyone, that when they even thought of not doing it, it made them shake and tremble. So, what did I do? I opened my mouth with one of my companions Elder Brooks. I said, ¨Hola!¨ And this woman said, ¨Hola...¨ and nothing more. Well, with this response I was a little nervous and thought that she didnt want to talk. So what did I do? I stopped talking...
I have always thought about this experience in my mission... why did I not start talking again? That woman could have been a chosen one. What happened? Some of my favorite verses explain the following:
 12 For if there be no faith among the children of men God can do no miracle among them; wherefore, he showed not himself until after their faith.
 13 Behold, it was the faith of Alma and Amulek that caused the prison to tumble to the earth.
 14 Behold, it was the faith of Nephi and Lehi that wrought the change upon the Lamanites, that they were baptized with fire and with the Holy Ghost.
 15 Behold, it was the faith of Ammon and his brethren which wrought so great a miracle among the Lamanites.
I was scared. I did not have the faith to continue talking to that daughter of God. I love the words, ¨...until after their faith.¨ It is a great lesson. As children  of God we cannot see miracles until after the test of our faith. What is the faith? It is action. As we act, and as we are obedient the Lord can work miracles in our lives and in those around us. I know that. I love the mission. These past two years I have worked hard and I have been obedient to the commandments of the Lord (I dont say that to boast, but because I delight in following our Lord Jesus Christ.). And because of that... I have been able to see a miracle in my life. I have seen a conversion. I too can say that I love sharing the gospel with others. I love our Savior Jesus Christ. These have been the best two years of my life.
I appreciate everyones support and love. I love you all!
I know that Jesus Christ lives. I know that He loves us. I bear testimony that He is our Savior. That He suffered for our sins and that He has the power to forgive. I know that all of us have the same potential to become clean of sin, and go back home to live with our Heavenly Father. I know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet. That the Restored Church of Jesus Christ is upon the earth. I know that anyone who is humble and has real intent, can kneel down and ask God directly, ¨Is this true? I promise that I will do my part, but please let me know.¨ can receive an answer that these things are true. I have seen it time after time here in Chile.
I love you all and will see you guys next week!  Literally hahah wow thats weird
Ya boy

We came in like a wrecking ball... and bapped Miley Cyrus

Hey everybody!! :) So great to hear from you all! I am of course going to start out this email answering the questions of my mom.

-This week was CRAZY but really great. It went by super fast. :/
-A lot of amazing things happened this week and I will tell a couple in the email.}
-I havent taken them out to lunch yet because we hardly see each other!
-Yes, there will be a despedida (good-bye meeting thingy..) for our whole group. The mission puts it on so all of the people we met and helped can come and say goodbye to us!

So, to start off this email this week I would like to talk about a couple things! :)

To kind of tell you about my week it went like this: :)
Monday... we had a taller de empleo... I am just going to leave that in spanish. We had a really long meeting about being self sufficient and we got to end it with a testimony meeting (it is only for the go-homers). Then after we rushed back to our sector to work in the afternoon. It was so amazing, we got to our sector and immediately started contacting everyone we could see, after an hour or so contacting and looking around our sector we were guided to a family of 5 that are so prepared! :) They accepted baptism and the invitation to come to church. :) What a miracle!
Tuesday... we had a meeting with President. Kind of talked about the mission then after Elder Harries and I got to go to SAN ANTONIO (the Coast)! It was so gorgeous.
Wednesday... on divisions with Elders from San Antonio (goin hard in the paint).
Thursday... getting done with divisions and traveling back and going to the sector to work hard.
Friday... yesterday we had all day to work in the sector. It was so great having time to work and find new people. :) We saw a lot of miracles yesterday. :)
Today... we have PDay and a meeting with President in the afternoon (i think he is taking us to lunch yum).

So pretty solid week. :)

I also wanted to talk about President Barreiros. He is a machine. He is such a great example to me and all the missionaries. His favorite sayings are, ¨Trabajar no más.¨ and ¨One plus one equals two baptisms.¨ hahahah he makes me laugh so hard. The vision the Lord has for the work, President also has. It is incredible. I know that leaders are called of God to guide and help us. President Barreiros is an excelent example of that.

Please dont send anything too trunky these next two weeks because if so I wont respond to you. :)

Love you guys!

Elder Brophy


ps i would send pics but my camera has a virus or something.

Sorry that title probably doesnt make ANY sense...an investigador in Amengual (my last sector) that Elder Mertz, Singson, and I all taught is getting baptized tonight and she looks like Miley Cyrus

Hey everybody

Today i was doing something important so I really had no time to write anything. I just want to say that I love you all and that Christ lives and loves us!!!

Bapsquad this weekend. :)

The Kingdom of God is a Kingdom of Results

Hey big email for once hahaha! :) It is going to be really short but I just want to tell everyone that I love you! :) i truly pray for each of you that you are safe!

Right now everything is going great! I am still here in Amengual (Zone 5 de Abril). I have 6 months here now! Time just flies! :) i am still with Elder Mertz and Elder Singson which is just great! hahah they are pretty good kiddos. 

This week I just wanted to talk a little bit about Christ our Saviour. I truly know that He lives and loves us. To take it onto a personal scale, I know that He suffered for my sins and understands everything I go through. I know that He makes it possible that I can overcome ever single test in this life. I know that ONLY though Him can I truly become a better disciple and reach the potential my Heavenly Father has in store for me. He allows me to repent. I have felt His atonement have an effect in my life. I love this gospel and being here in the mission! As Elder Holland stated: ¨Start fast, and run hard.¨ And Pres. Gordon B. Hinckly: ¨If you die... you die!¨ Gotta work hard. It is satisfying when you get home and your legs ache if you completed with your objective as a missionary. Help others come unto Christ. To truly come unto Christ one has to take part in ORDINANCES (Doctrine and Convenants 84:21). 

Pleaseeee pray for the following people that they can be baptized on the 29 of May. 
Jean Marie
Marina
Rosa
Williams
Renato
Nicole

i love you all! Have a great week and keep slayinnnnnn it!

I will call the cops!

Heyyyyyyy everybody!!!!! holy cow estoy animado poder hablar con todos hoy día. Les quiero mucho y voy a empezar con las preguntas que mi mama me envió. 

-This week was awesome and pretty hilarious to be honest. How was your guys´ week?
- We are going to skype on Sunday. Does it work for you guys at 5 o clock (Chilean time... i think that would be like 2:00 or 1:00 in the afternoon for you guys).
- We are going to skype from the chapel
-i still have gotten the package with the scriptures in it... :/
-Rosa is getting bapped this weekend now. :)

So, this week was great. A lot of opposition but that is necessary in all things so all good poppy. Now that we already got the skype out of the picture i would like to talk about two things that happened this week that i think you guys will enjoy. :)

First.... i think i will start with the funny/creepy story. So this week we had planned on doing divisions with one of our district leaders Elder Arcos. Well, we decided that I was going to go to the other sector to work for the day. Long story short it was a REALLY long day. We contacted in the street all day and on top of that we were fasting. Well after looking all day for new people to teach, this lady finally let us into her house and as we are inviting her to baptism she confesses to us that she was already baptized in the church a really long time ago... i puked. We ended up quickly inviting her to attend church with us on Sunday. After we had left we were both just starving to get into a new persons house and help them come unto Christ, when out of nowhere some lady opens her door and starts swearing at me and calling me a gringo. I didnt know what to do because I didnt know this lady so i just started laughing a little bit and knocked her next door neighbor´s house. This lady continued yelling at me and telling me that she was going to call the cops if we didnt leave so percieving it was the best place to contact new people.. we left haha. WELL, like 30 minutes later and miles away from our house she shows up behind us and keeps yelling at us like there is no tomorrow. Hahahahahah i dont know what was going on with that lady.... So that was pretty cool. My companion got a kick out of it because he is from Spain.

Anyways... this week the Lord did bless us with a miracle. While contacting late at night we found a part member family where only the mom is a member. She hasnt been to church for over 20 years but somehow still has a burning testimony inside of her that the church is true. unfortunately the husband doesnt want anything to do with us but her 3 children listened to us and after the lesson said they wanted to be baptized. It was amazing. The spirit was so strong in that lesson and i know that the spirit is the real teacher. We just have to as Elder Bednar says ¨GET OUTTA THE WAY¨ from the spirit truly teaching. i know that comes by obedience and diligence to the commandments of God.

 I know Christ lives with all my heart. I love serving Him here in Chile.

The Big Email hahah

Startin off with the big ole Q´s. :)

-I didnt get transfered! And neither did my other 2 companions! Hahah we are todether again! (My 4th change with Elder Mertz!) Yes, we are still in good old ghetto Amengual!
-The week has been GREAT! We saw so many miracles this week. :)
-On saturday... i did not stay dry at all hahaha it was so funny i got soaked walking around all day. :) But yesterday i left more prepared. :)
-We have water to drink dont worry! Everything should be alright!
-I am a 10 1/2 or 11

Anyways! So I wanted to talk a little bit about this week! :) Solid week my friends.! Well, firstly... none of us had changes so thats great! I am officially ¨killing¨ my companion Elder Mertz (he goes home in 6 weeks). We are super happy to still be together and to just take out the freaking trash bappin the wurld. :)

This week was pretty crazy. The last week of changes is always pretty crazy. My companions and I had to run all around the zone doing inspections of the pensions, divisions with the Elders, and random meetings as a mission. Long story short... today we are pretty tired! But really excited for the new missionaries that just got to the zone. :) Even with working alot outside of the sector, the Lord blessed us a ton in our sector. 

This weekend as missionaries it was pretty rough because of the downpour of rain haahha. BUT, with the Lord on our side, nothing is impossible. We left Sunday morning to go find people to take to church and everybody had flaked out because of the rain. Well, we continued looking and inviting people to church until we went to a progressing investigator Rosa. When we invited her she first said no but changed her mind and came with us! After the meetings, we sat her down and asked how she felt during church. She expressed that she had never felt something so incredible in any other church she had gone to. MIRACLE! But get this... then after an active member walks up to us and expresses his gratitud of having brought Rosa to church. He told us that he had been inviting her to church for the past 22 years with the missionaries and she had never come. Rosa now has a baptismal date for the 30th of April.

The greatest part... we didnt do anything! The Lord does His work. I know that when we are obedient with exactness and work with all diligence putting our trust in our Savior Jesus Christ... The Lord blesses us and can bless those around us. Rosa is a miracle. I love this gospel. I know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God. I know that in the spring of 1820.. he saw God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ. I invite all those reading to ask of God to know that these things are true. I testify that they are and I promise that those who really ask, will receive because God loves us so much.

I leave this with you in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

With love killas

Obedience

Connor FINALLY sent a regular email for everyone :) yay!

Hey everybody! Of course starting off with the questions from my motherr!

-I didnt forget but I ran out of time on the computer haha :/ Sorry!
-We saw all the sessions besides priesthood because it is too late at night. But we are going to watch it this week.
-Yes I am.
-I got the easter package! Thankyou so much! hahaha both of my companions were like your family really loves you hahaha. Love you guys so much.
-Havent gotten that package yet
-No... we havent felt any earthquakes lately. :(

So this week was great! We all know that it was the week of General Conference which is always GREAT. Some of the cool things that happened this week started on Tuesday of this last week. The leaders of the West Mission had the opportunity to meet with Elder Allen (President of the Mission Work Board hahahah i dont know how to say it in English). He met with the mission to ask simple questions about the mission and its immense growth in converts in these past two years. Not going to lie, one of the coolest experiences ever to be able to talk and discuss points of the mission work with a general authority. I felt very humbled to be in his presence and for the notable success in the mission.

Also, last night the Lord showed us His tender mercy as we ran back to the sector to work for the one little hour we had before we had to go into the pension to plan and sleep. Well, one of the FIRST doors we knock on, the Family Diaz Paredes comes out and immediately lets us in. (Let it be known that this whole last weeek it was very hard for us to find new people who had sincere desires to come unto Christ) They are a family of three and have been looking for the gospel of Jesus Christ for some years now. Well, when we presented the message of the Restoration and invited them to baptism they accepted immediately! The spirit was felt very strongly during that lesson and walking out the door as a companionship, we gave thanks to God for having led us to this incredible family.

Miracles exist. The Lord loves us so much. I truly know and testify with all my heart that Christ lives. His resurrection brings hope to all of us. The knowledge of His atonement must be spread across the earth to help others have this same hope and accept His TRUE gospel. That is the invitation today, GO FIND SOMEONE AND SHARE THE GOSPEL WITH THEM!

Pedro... the MACHINE.

Hey everybody! So this week I have decided by starting out by writing my big email! My mom is going to be super happy. :)

-The weeks mom seem like days here i swear...
-Well... if she is coming to Santiago... :) You could send her with maybe the quad... and some ties. Penguin ties. :) hahahah naw if you want but if not just some letters from the family... thats all I really want. :)
-Oh... this week was amazing.
-I am still in the same trio. :)

So this week I am going to basically talk about the man in the title. Pedro! He is the man in the picture. This guy is a machine. You might be asking where the heck he came from? Let me explain.

We found Pedro last Friday (counting from Sunday, 9 days ago). We invited him to baptism and church which he accepted both. It was VERY surprising because he kept telling us during the first lesson that he had been catholic (ACTIVE... like every sunday) for 70 years of his life. So, sunday rolls along and he had told us that he was going to meet us in the church at 11:00am. 11:05 rolled around and Elder Singson and I got restless and decided to go look for him. Well, we walk about 15-20 minutes to go get him and we find him standing on the corner of the street he lives on with a VERY puzzled face. We didnt ask many questions but simply said, ¨Dude... giddy up lets go to church. :) ¨ He ended up coming to church with us and we set up an appointment to guy by in the afternoon. Well, when we arrive in the afternoon to visit Pedro he tells us the following:
He had woken up that morning with the intentions to go to the Catholic church (because he was active.) Well, when he left to go towards the church he said that he immediatly felt that he was too hot and would faint. So, he turned back towards the house to take off his sweater. He explained that as he got close to his house he stopped feeling like it was too hot and turned around taking ANOTHER road to get to the cathotlic church (stubborn hahah.) Well, as he turned around again he felt as if he really was going to faint and remembered that he hadnt taken his pills for his Blood pressure... SO again he turned around towards the house. Well, when he got to the corner of his street he glanced down and saw us walking towards him. I imagine that in that moment he just puked everywhere haha. He told us that when he saw us, he knew the Lord wanted something else for him. Incredible. SO, this last week we have been teaching Pedro.. who accepted everything and wants to change his life. Pedro... was baptized in 9 days. 

I know the Lord lives. He loves us. This week we didnt do anything but be the instruments in the Lords hands. The Lord has been preparing Pedro for YEARS to guide us to him in HIS time, when he would fully accept his gospel. Jesus Christ lives. I know he has paid the price. He asks us that we follow Him. There is not a greater joy than following our Savior here on this earth. I love Him.

I invite all to keep being obedient so that the Lord can guide us to these prepared people. I know that if we do our part, the Lord will do His.

The week of Miracles... holy flem

Sorry for being so short like always... i really have to prioritize my time when i am on the computer. I will repent I swear.

Killas. This week was incredible. My companions and I have seen so many miracles and the hand of the Lord here in our sector. This weekend we helped a man of age enter the waters of baptism. We met him 16 days ago. He wanted to get bapped so we bapped him. It was on saturday about the time of my sisters wedding so I was feeling solid. :) hahahah but I love you all! BE SAFE! I will talk to you all next week!

Bappin

Hey everybody!!! :) This weeks email is also going to be kinda short for the fact of the time. hahah my english is horrible.

QUESTIONS!
-My week was awesome. :)
-Funny experience...... watching Elder Mertz trying to take a selfie with a haitain that didnt speak english or spanish hahaha
-Something special that happened in a lesson.. well this week we literally were so blessed to find people that all wanted to be baptized. The spirit was felt very strong this week while ministering to the people.
-The pups is so cuteeee
-I couldnt open the video
-We finally moved into the apartment... it is soooo nice. The 22nd floor with a view of the mountains. We have a balcony as well so we take the nightly calls out there.... its cuico. :)

Buttttt. The coolest thing that happened this week was the opportunity to help Ricardo (picture above) be baptized! he is a MACHINE. He got baptized in 3 weeks! The lord had been preparing him for 3 YEARS through His neighbors who are active members of the church. I would like to testify the power of God. I know that angels are preparing the way for all to have the opportunity to receive the gospel. i love this gospel so much. It is incredible.!

I hope everyone has a great week! Keep staying safe!

love

Forgotten Email :(

Connor forgot to send an email again this week..lol!  I think he gets carried away with talking back and forth to us, and forgets. I’m always surprised when he says “mom gotta go, talk to you next week”, and I’m wondering where the email is :)

This is a little something he wrote to me this morning before he “had to go” and I thought it was really sweet :)

"Mom, I just feel so much joy knowing that the gospel is true. I cant explain it. But I really have experienced and FELT the atonement in my daily life. Sorry it took so long but it arrived haha.”

What a great kid!!! Here’s hoping for an email next week :)

The Trio of Unfairness

Hey Everybodyyyyy hahahah.

-I got the package!!!!! Wooooohooo I already ate all the girlscout cookies! :)
-I already took some pictures for you and I will send them to ya!
-Some REALLY excited things happened in our area this last week holy cow.
-My new companion is Elder Singson... he is also from Utah hahahah! So dope! He is also from my same group! He is super dope and I will tell you a little bit more about it and why the title is what it is.
-We havent moved into the apartment yet... we dont know when hahah. 

Anyways, so I dont forget, I am going to straight start off with the weekly email haha. :) This week was freaking crazyyyyy. We (Elder Mertz and I) received Elder Singson so we are now in a trio. I cannot express the love I have for being in a trio. It has so many pro´s, BUT, I would say the best pro is being able to enter into any house we desire! Hahahah while we are contacting we are just like ¨Hello, we are representatives of Jesus Christ... we are going to enter your door and share a message of Christ, excuse me¨ *enter door*. Its the bomb. :)

But seriously, this week has been incredible. As a matter of fact, last monday in the afternoon we had a family home evening with a family from the ward and a young adult that is their neighbor. Well, we shared with him our objective as missionaries and an introduction to the Restoration of the Gospel and of course... baptism. :)))) Well, after the lesson we set up a follow up appointment which was on Wednesday. Well, when we arrived Ricardo (thats his name) was super excited because he had read the pamphlet of the Restoration and prayed and had received an answer that it was 100% true. I puked. We immediatly invited him to be baptized and he accepted willingly. I know that God prepared His children to receive the Gospel. 

What a miracle! Miracles do not produce faith, faith is produced through obedience... and through our obedience God can bring to pass a miracle which is a reaffirmation (i think thats a word) of our faith. I know Christ lives and has paid for our sins. May we be obedient to His gospel. :) That is my humble prayer in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Love ya all!

But if we Die.... Let it be in the Baptismal Font

Hey everybody!!!! Startin off with the questions of the week. Wow, it seems like I havent done that in a while haha.

-We still dont know when we move apartments... hopefully soon!
-The new apartment is kinda far from our sector but we would take the bus so it doesnt take very long
-Transfer days are now Monday... and we dont have a reunion. Its like the same in the rest of the missions now.... they just call you and tell you if you have changes.
-Neither of us cook very much. Hahaha
-I did try a recipe at the beginning of my mission but I havent made anything else since then hahaha

Anyways. This week was honestly pretty awesome. Hard... but great. We learned alot this week thanks to adversity. We have been working really hard with some new investigators we found 3 weeks ago to get baptized. They had accepted all the teachings, commitments, and a baptismal date (this saturday). Well, on Saturday when we went by their house to verify that everything was A-Okay to go to church... the mother told us that they were not going to continue in the church (punch in the face). I puked. Then we started trying to minister her need right then and there in the doorstep because there wasnt a man inside so we couldnt enter. Well, long story short.... the extended family of this family had heard that they were going to be baptized and freaked out and told them that they could not be baptized or they would disown them. Always hard seeing how much the adversary works. 

But, a seed was planted in GOOD soil. The following example literally happened to almost every single one of our investigators this last week... problems with the family, and other things. BUT, we gonna go find some new people and BAP em! Thats whatcha gotta do! Just keep walking. Having a firm hope that Christ and His angels are preparing others to receive the gospel NOW. 

I testify that Christ lives and loves us. I know that there are angels preparing the way to be able to receive the gospel. I also know that if we are not obedient, their work is in vain because we are not going to be worthy to receive such a blessing.

Love you guys so much!!! this is the zone 5 de Abril. STRAIGHT MACHINES!

The Weekly Email :)

Hey Everybody! Obviously there are no questions today for a good reason... because we got changed P-Days back to Mondays! 

So, this last week was just pretty crazy! A lot of crazy things happened! :) Les explico. 

-Firstly, last week President just called all of the mission and said SUPRISE CHANGES! Hahahah I am not sure why but it was pretty funny and very unexpected. So, Elder Clegg got called and we showed up on Wednesday in Maipú and he had transfers to TALAGANTE... in my old sector hahahaha. So funny. And I received Elder Mertz! Its funny because I only have 3 weeks here in the ward.. and he has like 3 days so we are both getting to know our sector and the people... and the zone. A lot of stuff to do. :) 

Secondly, we had a meeting with President on Thursday where he explained to us that we are going back to the old schedule because the First Presidency has asked that all the missions be the same. So, from now on I will be writing on MONDAYS. :)

Now that that is all clear. 

This week was great. We are being very blessed by the Lord with a ton a new people who have been prepared to receive the gospel in their lives.

Something really cool that happened this week was that we had the opportunity to go on divisions with missionaries from the MTC here in Chile. I left with an Elder Beard from Herriman UT. Even though he couldnt speak a TON, such a stud. We were able to invite 3 people to baptism and you better believe this stud invited them all! Truly incredible how the Lord makes us instruments in His hands. When I would stop teaching and look at him to have him teach he would ask me ¨What do I say?¨ and I would say ¨Testify, or ¨invite to baptism¨, or ¨explain the Restoration.¨ And even though the words came out a little shaky.. or not 100% correct, there was no doubt that these people we were talking to could feel the spirit. It is so powerful how the Lord uses US (18,19,20 year olds) to preach His amazing Gospel.

Holy monkey I just love the mission. I just love this gospel and my Savior Jesus Christ. I can feel His love that He has for me through studying the scriptures. Today I came across this verse:
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.Revelation 21: 3-4
May we study the scriptures daily! I invite all to seek to feel the love our Savior has for us through daily scripture study!
I love you all so much! Keep killin it and share the gospel!!!!!!!!
Ya boy

Surpriseeeeeee!!!

Craziest week ever.

-Sorry i forgot to send an email last week... i literally forgot hahahaha
-I am going to take a picture of the zone in 2 weeks more. :)
-Yeah, he got baptized.
-I made a ton of goals for 2016. it was weird as fetch because it was half for the mission and the other half not.
-i slept for new years. :)

So, I am gonna be brief because there is a ton of stuff going on and has been going on these past couple days hahahah.

Anyways, this week was amazing. We worked really hard a found a ton of new people who really have potential to be baptized. :) It was incredible. 

So, two crazy stories real quick.

1. We got changed out of our house! Something reallyyyyyy ghetto happened to our next door neigbor so they took us out and now we are living with other Elders.
2. I am not going to be with Elder Clegg anymore. SO LAME. We got called last night and President is doing surprise changes with all the mission. We werent expecting it. I am really going to miss Elder Clegg. one of my best friends. We must take the changes with a humble heart!

I love this gospel. I will let everybody know what is going on and who i am with next week!

Yes, i stay in my sector. Elder Clegg is dippin out.

love Elder Brophy
