The new tree crew in Brazil

I am staying in Ponta Purã and I am getting a new companion.  I am going to train him!!!! I am going to Compo Grande to receive some training first and then pick up my new companion on Wednesday.
I am very excited and nervous.  I will be staying in Ponta Purã the next 3 months/12 weeks because I am training.  I think this is my new home.  We have not moved from our current apartment yet, we have 4 missionaries living here again.  The apartment feels very small. 
We had to do a service project and we cut down part of a tree. Well they don't have chain saws here so we used machetes. It was awesome and reminded me of home working with Kurt Fife.
I am traveling this week and that is about it. We had a ward talent show and I did magic of course. Everyone loved it.

A Visit from Jack Frost in June

so i know that it has been a while but i just want to keep you guys updated on what has been new here. It has been cold and finally dropped down below 32 degrees. Who know Brazil gets cold?! i am now just waiting on snow but will probably never see it. SO this week we had a baptism and it was the coldest day of the year. The water heater broke and so the water was ice cold. I felt bad for our investigator but she toughed it out and we dealt through the pain. I walked in the water first and held in my desire to scream because it was cold but was glad that i only went in waist deep. All in all it was a very spiritual baptism and the whole ward showed. Mow this week on Saturday we have to more baptisms. i just hope someone fixes the water heated or it will be round 2 two of ice water!! so that is all here in PONTA (BURR)orã. I love you guys and glad that i am here on the mission. God is Good and until next time!!

Love Elder Browning
