Hello!

Well this week was freaking cool!!!!!! I loved the talks that we got to hear in conference and all of the things that I got to see happen this end of the week. I cant really even start to begin to express my love for the prophets and the apostles of the lord. It is such a blessing to have them in our lives and be able to hear of their constant love for us and their deep desires for us to do good and continue in the path of righteousness. I am inspired to go out and preach the word even more diligently to all of the creatures of the earth!!!! I LOVE THIS GOSPEL!!! oh my goodness. I have learned so much from this life style. I am so grateful to be able to live like this for eternity! I hope that all of you guys got as much out of conference as I did. I dont think there is a person more grateful for the counsel of the prophets and the lord as I am. I know that is a bold statement, but I make it only to express my love for the lord and the acknowledgement of my own nothingness to god. I know that I am great to him but nothing in comparison. I strive everyday to become the man that he planned me to be in the beginning of time! I have learned so much about the atonement of christ and how to apply it in my life daily! I love the chance that the lord gives us to be able to apply this blessing. Really I cant begin to imagine the things that he felt, even though I have had hard times and everyone else in this whole world have had really hard times, like the apostle of the lord said in conference... ¨you cannot sink deeper into the darkness than the light of christs atonement can reach¨ I dont know if that is how he said it word for word, but that is how I interpreted it. haha and I LOVED IT! I may just be saying things in a very redundant form, but I just love this gospel; that is the main point of this letter and I invite all to come unto it because really it is how we can have a true and happy life. That was the best thing that happened to me this week and the fact that we had these investigators come to the conference. One is 16 and the other is 12 and they are freaking so cool!!! They were going to come with their dad but he had to work so they came alone. When I saw them I near jumped in the sacrament room. Good thing the conference hadnt yet begun. I ran to the back where they were and was like hey!!!!!! I greeted them and was so happy to see them and brought them up to sit with me and the hermanas of my zone and some other members! It was really cool to see how much they enjoyed conference and were left speechless after listening to the prophet. They loved it and something I will always remember is that when the prophet got up to speak maria fernanda(name of th 16 year old) said to her little sister who was talking... SHHHH thats the prophet! I want to listen. AHHHH!!! Can you believe it! :) I was so happy for her! My heart leaped for joy as I saw the faith in these young daughters of god who barely have been hearing the gospel of christ but yet are gaining and have a sincere reverence and respect for the things of god and his church.

So sounds like you are all missing me alot out there. Well you are going to have to keep missing me a little bit longer because I dont think I am going to be coming home on the 9th of july. haha I honestly dont know when I am going to be coming home and I honestly am not going to worry about it any more. haha I am just sick and tired of having to worry about that so if you want to talk to my president to ask him and what not, you are more than welcome to do it. haha I cant. I am losing my focus. I love this zone in talca! We are having so much success and we are having a blast doing it too! After conference yesterday we had 4 baptisms in the zone! It is really cool to be a zone leader because when others have baptisms, you feel a connection to them. It is  not your convert, but you have been with these people in spirit the whole time praying consistently for them every night for at least 3 weeks, interviews, stressing to see if they went to church, if the missionaries have taught everything, etc.... haha It is really the best journey that you can go on mom. I love it so much. I am just so happy mom. I say, life never has been so good. I have a great life. I love this gospel and I love my family, and I love you. :) just so you know.
So I hear that Elder Archeleta(or how ever you spell his name) is going to the Rancagua mission. That is the mission right above us. haha I think he is going to learn alot on his mission.He is going to have to humble himself alot because in the mission he loses all of his fame and status. He is a servant for two years and will have to be very humble so that he can do well on his mission. I dont know how he is but I hope he knows that. haha I am glad that he went though. He will be a good instrument in the lords hands. haha

General conference in the mission is like christmas. haha I think I look forward more to Conference than any other day. I am really sad that I just had my last conference here in chile. I got to see some of it in spanish too! That was a good experience that I will never forget. I usually watch it in english because of the extravagant language of the apostles haha it is really hard to follow them in english 100 % let alone spanish. haha I really did enjoy it though. I feel that the lord was talking directly to our mission. It was cool because we have been having some problems with unity between the companionship´s. I was really excited and relieved to hear the counsel of them, from the lord. haha I really am going to apply what they told me and become better in my personal life. I know that I am going to see so many dang changes when I get back!! I know that everything is going to be so dang different so when it gets closer to homecoming you gots to tell me some of the most dramatic things so I am not flabbergasted when I get home ok!? But not until then :) Thanks hahahaha I dont want to get shot with the holy crap gun just yet. Not saying you have already done it because you havent.

Love Elder Brown
