NEW TRANSFER,Hempstead, Elder Brooks

Last week, we went to the temple, had a baptism, ate at some Indian restaurant, and then woke up sick, slept a lot and worked through it, and I'm feeling a lot better now.

Some of this weeks response to ma ma Blaz

I am anxious to hear about transfers.  How was this week?

 We have been doing work, doing all we can, and it's great here.

Heavy rainfall in Texas.   That is what the news said.  It is sure a big state!  Did it rain today?
Does it not rain a lot there?

It does, but I didn't see a notifiable difference, it was just another rainy day.

Will we be skyping on Mothers day?

Probably skyping, but you can decide  last time it didn't work as well as I was hoping, but lets see how the connection is and then decide.

Aaron is doing really well in his new area and we couldn't be happier for him. If you would like his address please comment or let me, (Brittani) know and I can get it to you. 8 MONTHS LEFT! ;)

Last Tuesday was my companions birthday and we just hung out with a member, and his recently not participating friend.  They took us to a Vegan restaurant,
it tasted weird.  Wednesday we had a Zone Conference and then met a
couple at night that want to get to church, the lady (a recently not participating) the man now
investigating, they came to church on Sunday, so that is great!

Thursday we taught a lady that is getting baptized this weekend,
and we also did service all day at the Peanut Butter Factory, the
church runs.  Friday, 3 appointments cancelled, but one held and we set
a date for that man to get baptized. He just married a LDS lady a
few months ago.  We ate dinner with them, they have the funniest kids
(6 and 7 years old). 

Saturday we had a ward Reunion party, lots
of people, all day. Sunday church was great, a RC, 3 LA, and 3
Investigators came! That night we had a fireside for the Reunion
and we just got done with the fireside part and went out to eat our
food and guess what?  The 2 Spanish wards that are in our building
ate all our food!  Lots of Drama from that, but anyways, good
week!!!
