Hello There

Hello there my family. :)

So I am going to be completely honest with all of you, I love my new sector!! It is so much better than talca haha I actually feel like I am in chile now. It is beautiful! I cant even explain to you how amazing it is here. The only down fall of this sector is that It has SO many hills! It is actually almost to the point to where it is ridiculous haha I am dying here. No it really is not that bad. But yeah I love TOMÉ :) My comp is a freaking stud. His name is Elder Demann. He is from Murray Utah and he has 6 weeks more than I do in the mission. Haha so we are learning together still. I thought it was interesting how the president did that. He put two almost new missionaries in a sector to wreak havoc ;) no it is actually really cool. We have had no really tough problems as of now. We speak the language pretty well thanks to god. We get along really well. He is so freaking funny. He is a little more chill and relaxed than I am so we work really well together. It is so funny, because when I got here and started meeting all of the people they immediately noticed the difference in elder demann when he is with me because his other comp too was chill so they are noticing he is a lot more active haha I don't know that is just what they tell me. But we got a baptism this week. :) We worked all this week to help this lady quit smoking and keep and learn a few other lessons and she got baptized. One of the coolest ladies ever! I love her haha. She has a family and they hadn't been sharing with them they thought that it was boring, but now we are going to be sharing with her daughter haha and husband hopefully. He is a really smart man and says he doesn't like to talk about religion and is not a religious man but last night we ran into him and Patricia( the lady who got baptized) and we talked to him for a good 15 minutes in the street about religion so I think we are getting to him and he will open up soon. There is so much potential here. The ward is HUGE!!! It has like 100 people. It is so cool to see so many people there and tons are young kids too. They are really good people we just need to animate them a little to help us in the work But we can do it. All in all I love it here and am alot happier. I live in a house of 4 missionaries and it rocks haha I also want to add that I think my other missionaries were a little chueko.(like lazy or crooked, used for a missionaries who isn't really obedient or doing everything he should be) not bad, but not really good. We are REALLY obedient now. Elder Demann is a super obedient missionary and it is really good for us right now. So yeah that is Tomé. The ocean is beautiful and so is the wild life. It is a little more chilly here, but only in the night. It is a lot better than heat though. haha ;)
Well we have had success in the beginning parts of my time here in this sector and we have the possibility of having alot more. :) This month is going to rock!

 I have found a hidden love in reading now. Since it is really all I can do haha. No I really do like it. I love learning about the gospel now. I am sad that I only get an hour to study by myself now. It is not even close to being enough time haha. I love it. I have been reading the bible. I started in my last sector with elder cadima and I know why I was with him now. I am using a lot of that knowledge I have learned in my everyday teaching and life. It is such a good support to the book of Mormon. I am able to back up what we say with three things. First, the bible. Second, The book of Mormon. And Third but most important, THE HOLY GHOST. It is so cool because when you have these 3 things and know how to use them you have every amount of evidence that is possible to have and can answer any question. It is awesome. haha So yeah that has been my road so far here in tomé. Evangelico´s and J- Dubs. haha. It is an interesting ride but I love it. :)

Roy 13th ward


Dear ward. ¿Como Estan? :) I just wanted to write you and let all of you know how I am doing.... Good! ;) haha I am loving chile. I have met some amazing people down here and seen the gospel work miracles in their lives. The lord is so loving to those who choose to follow him withoutt thought. I want to invite you all to do just that. Follow the lord with all of your heart might mind and strength. Especially you who are younger. I want you to know how important this gospel is. It comes first! The lord loves you so much. Show your love for him. Do as he asks. Be the son or daughter of God that I know and more importantly HE knows you are. I want to thank you all for all of the support that you are for me. :) Thank you for your prayers and letters, sorry I am slow to write back.... I will do better. Also thank you for the support and love for/to my family. I will continue to pray for you! I will see you in a year. :) All of my love,
Elder Brown
