The Gypsy's and the Dark Arts

Ok, this weeks story has something to do with the dark arts. So this week as we come out of one of the store just getting done buying some food to eat, we have 2 ladies call us. Me, thinking that they just wanted to ask us something about America said ok... what. Well they asked us a ridiculous question that you could obviously tell was just to get us over to them or stop walking. They then said, thank you for your help my name is this and that and you are very fortunate to have run into me because I can read palms... (really?! ) So she says to me, while the other one is talking to my comp who barely could understand his lady because they were speaking Spanish, but had a Portuguese accent, give me your palm. I give it to her. She looks at it and starts to mumble in herself... not a good sign. Then she looks at me and says it is very good that you ran into me. She said, you are a very good person but you have some people who dont like you. You have created some enemies here and they now want to harm you.(Excuse me?!) She goes on to say it is ok I am not going to charge you anything, but I can promise you the protection you seek. All you need to do is put a bill, what ever amount you think would help protect you, in your palm and I can help it be a guardian or guard for you. I, at this point am just looking in awe at this person. I say, I am a missionary from the church of Jesus Christ can we come by some day and share a message that will help and protect you!? She looks at me a little confused and says look, I dont think you realize how serious this is, just put a bill here, do you want protection or not. She was saying all of this while her kid was screaming and yelling and just going crazy. Also when she started to talk to me I immediately felt the spirit leave so I was like umm.......... uh oh. Now, me a little sick of trying to get ripped off, and hearing the futile calls from my comp look at this Young lady with two screaming kids and say to her, look, I am a missionary from the church of god. I have been called by a prophet of god and set apart to act in the name of Jesus Christ I appreciate your concern, but I think that I am protected. I dont need you to help me but thank you and if you want we can take down your address and pass by some time. Well she didnt really like that and as I finished I turned to my comp and whispered dont give them anything, because he didnt understand and they were really forceful. Well before she lets me say anything else she starts asking tons of questions to distract me so her little friend can get stuff out of my comp. I start to briefly answer while trying to tell elder white not to do anything. My attempt kinda failed and finally elder white turns and says elder brown, HELP. He had had enough he didnt understand exactly and the lady was trying to get more out of him. I look at them and say thanks but we are ok. Have a good day. Oh and before I said that, my lady starts asking for money for her kid. NOPE. sorry. I start to grab e` white and we walk away as they start yelling other stuff at us. I think they tried to curse us. haha WEIRD!!!! So that was my run in with a few gypsies.

Well this week was interesting. We had TONS of crazy experiences happen. I will tell you one that is not so gross or bad. So there is this guy here called the ¨negro-quatico¨ HE IS CRAZY!!! he is this guy who pretty much runs around all day drunk or high. He, when he is high, tends to yell nonsense at us. haha The last time he told me that he didnt have any completos(hotdog here) for me. haha it was funny. Well this week we are walking home and are a little late. We are talking about the lesson we had just had and then out of freaking no where we hear this negro start to scream! He is right in front of us. He starts to come at us, fists balled. I was like well I am not in the mood to get in a fight with a drunk crazy guy so we cross the street right away and he just stands of the corner looking at us with his crazy eyes. I got the crap freaked out of me! I was like I almost died. The other people all around just broke up laughing, because they too know that he is crazy, but harmless. haha It was just a really intense moment that you just had to live to understand.

Stop reading now if you don't want to be grossed out......

No I mean it.... stop reading......ok, you were warned!!!

 (This part was sent to his dad, but thought we would share so you could get the whole picture of what Julian is going through)  So wanna know something kinda gross and weird. I was walking down the street the other day and all of a sudden I see this guy walking towards me with his head downand then he goes over to the wall and pulls his pants down andstarts to poop. I was like what the heck!!! There are kids around and families. The people didnt even say anything. They all just walked past like it was nothing. haha I couldnt believe it.

 I am glad that all of you guys had a good time and ate tons of good food. I too had a good thanksgiving we did a family home evening with Ivan and his family and we ate some good food and cake and YUMMY!!!! I loved it. Actually that is the same night the a negro-quatic attack happened. haha
So this year I am not sure if we are going to be able to use skype.I will let you know. I think that the new converts we have here have a computer with a camera though so it will work out either way I am sure.I will probably get that package in like a week or 2 I dont think it will get here right away. But we will see. haha Well mom I love you!
I would actually like to ask a favor. If you could send the christmas pageant play that we do as a family. You can just photocopy it and send it throug email. We wanna do something like that here. :) I hope that you have a great week and that all your dreams come true.

Love Elder Brown
