I was able to watch general conference in English, yes all of it. The Saturday session I watched in English at a members house. We had them invite a non member and the mom of that house made some awesome empenadas and pizza! The other sessions on Sunday I watched at the chapel in Ballester, in English on a puter screen. It was very good and I loved it. I have gotten much better at praying but still need to improve on my scriptures. I love it down here, I just miss you all at home. I have been homesick for the family and my neighborhood and even the US of A, but I get along just great. The grocery store, Carrefour, is at the end of my road. I have a straight window view of a yellow house and El Buen Sabor, whic are across the street and started down the road from Carrefour. They dont have soda selection like we do. Its Coke Coke, or Pepsi, or Fanta or Coke Life or a couple other choices. My companion likes the alcoholess beer and bought me one for my b day, but I told him I didnt want it. I drank coke. I drink milk from a bag and its good milk too. I use my unwashed Duck Dynasty cup every single day! I know sometimes all I want to do is come home because I want to see my family and live the life that fits with my culture, but know if I were to leave I would spend the rest of my life regretting it. I remember dad told me that, so I thank dad for him knowing what that feels like and making me aware. I know its hard on dad but I hope it eases his stress about it knowing that it helps his son stay on his mission and want to stay on his mission. I really do miss you guys and some days all I want to do is count down the time til I can come home. I really missed you on all our birthdays and even cried a little, but I am good. I write in my journal every night since Cole and Carson's birthday! and plan on doing it from here on out. I can actually see the importance of it. I love you all and hope everyone doesnt grow up too fast. I have cards for Cole and Carson but still tell them that I wished them a happy birthday and had candy for our birthdays, peanut M&Ms on the 3rd of October. I am learning a lot and asee that I am only two weeks in the field and at this pace of learning all the lessons I do, I will be a champion by the time I come home! Seriously. I am learning and think I will learn how to overcome a lot of my problems in life. haha. I am weird sometimes you know that. Sorry, I apologize for that and my worrying so much and my OCD ordeal, but I am getting better. I know you blame the worrying on you, but dont. I am ok and it is good to worry a little and I will be fine, so I hope you dont worry about it or anything else. The Lord is keeping a watchful eye over me and I pray he does for you all too all the time. I can see he is. I am glad dad got a new job. I dont care how much he makes, I just care for him to be happy and to be able to spend valuable time with yall at home! How is DWS? I am excited to see bros rooms. Tylers is soo different. I love the pictures and I thank you for my birthday presents. I tried to recreate my birthday, but didnt have a couple of things, like the 2 and 3 O clock items, and I am sad I threw away some of the notes like to the flashlight, but I still have most of the notes. I love the album of the family and everyone else. You are a very nice craft person. I love all you do for me. This all is motivation for me to stay out on my mission also. Seriously mom, I dont think you know how much youve helped me as well as dad and brothers! I am feeling good and havent had the turkey squirts or anything and I use my prayer rock cause I love the way it reminds me like ya dunce, get praying dude. Ahhh man mom, I love you and I love the whole family! I feel like there was something I wanted to say more but forgot and will remember later, like right when I get off...but ya, I think I am doing great and everything is all good! ps Did you do a conference breakfast?
This picture totally shows Bradys personality.
