My dearest family, I guess I can't put it off any longer, here at last is
an update with how I am getting along. I am trudging along, I guess that's the
best way I can put it. I don't know what more I could say. I am doing my
best to live every day, to be as usable as I can, but I don't know if it's
the summer heat, or lack of people, but I am getting dry again. But
these past two weeks have been well enough. Its been cooling off a lot, I
think that fall is fast approaching, which I am not looking forward to. Either way it's going to kill, I am just glad that I am here. The
biggest thing that has transpired in these past few days is that we
moved. After the house flooded for the 3rd time with the rain we got, we
were finally given permission to leave. We are now living with the other 4
elders who are in our same ward. We did the move today, so we will see
how this week goes with them. I have not slept in 3 days, we have been
cleaning so very much, well I won't give him credit, I have been cleaning
so much. I still have bleach smell in my nose and on my hands. I emptied the house this morning while he was off at a meeting, so we
moved from where we were to where we are now. In the past 5 months I
believe I have handled more business like matters than teaching. I have
set up rent contracts, I have looked for new houses, I have realtors on
speed dial, and the best part is it's all in Spanish, so that's cool to
handle. We are now living in a mansion, and I use that word very
strongly, it is huge! Also very, very nice, so I am happy. We have farther
to go to get to our area now, but it's all good. Our house has a body
guard, 3 doors before you get to our house, surrounded by a 15 foot
cement wall with barbed wire on top. It's a fortress, and that's where we
are at, verses the last place that we had that was held shut by a padlock. ;) So that's fun ;) I am doing well enough, don't you worry about
me, I am hanging in there just dandy. We are going to the temple this
Friday morning. I don't know what hora, but that will be a nice escape to
get to go. We also get to go inside, not just go, but participate, so
that's what I am excited about. It's been just about a year since I have
been, so I am content. I have received your letters, and they mean the
world to me. I love the family picture of everyone making funny faces. I
share that one with everyone now, so just think, your face is being
shared with people from all the way down here, that's what happens when
you send letters with pictures!!!!! Thank you for all that you are doing
for me, and for the work of salvation, it's not our work, ni la obra de
la Iglesia, sino que la obra del Señor. esta es que es importante al fin
de día.
Vayas Con Dios,
Elder Brewer
