Don't have much time but I love ya.

Hey guys I dont have much time today to do a proper group email but I can explain why I am emailing at 8 in the night instead of normal time in the morning. This sunday my companion and I were fasting, here in Peru because lunch it the biggest meal of the day we start fasting saturday after lunch and end in sunday after church which starts at 9 am. During the sacrament my companion and I were standing in the doorway looking to see which of our investigators made it to church when he passed out, fell over, and slammed his head against the wall. This gave him a minor but irratating concusion. Turns out he is hypoglychimic or whatever so when he was fasting (and this was his first attempt at a 24 hour fast) he lost all energy. Because of his concussion we have been confined to our apartment, for the last two days!! It is terrible because we just have to sit in the dark in absolute silence and while he needs to be sleeping, I had to sit up all day and most of the night waking him up every so often and making sure he wasnt having memory loss. Its terrible, hes being a bit of a poop because he wont sleep, can't blame him he has slept 16 of the last 24 hours. I meanwhile and beat, I only have 6.

This last week has been very interesting, we have been working but it is hard as plans fall apart. We have 4 investigators with dates in this moment all of which could have been prepared to be baptized this upcoming week but 3 of them will be waiting a bit longer. I discovered I needed to put aside my pride because at least in part I know I was pushing them for an earlier date because I wanted to be here for their baptism and with transfers this upcoming week I know there is a possibility that I will be leaving ayacucho. I have been pondering and praying a lot about this and although I would love to have more time here in ayacucho with the people I love and to see the investigators enter the waters of baptism, I know missionary work isnt about numbers. They will be baptized, that is what is important, and whether I am here to see it or not isnt important. What is important is to serve, with all out hearts might mind and strength and no matter where I will be this next transfer I am ready to continue in the work.

Love, Elder Brown
