once again its another letter from elder brownie ha ha i guess thats what he calls him self now because that is how he signed this letter enjoy!!
hey!
life here is k-town is awesome! elder archibald and i are getting along very well :). he is alot like me so we have some fun out there! we like to try to creat different kinds of food. so far we have made some baked bean tacos, crazy pasta stuff, and we have stumbled upon the recipie for the flinstones vitamins....ya haha we have fun tho! we just had a baptism this past sunday for bryan. he is really cool. but the great thing was, he entire family was inactive and now they are active again! we are also teaching this family named the stewards. when we first got and taught them as a referral they didnt look golden. because they had a whole bunch of anti mormon stuff and he is a way inactive member. but they have been progressing! his wife who is not a member called us and told us she feels really good about the book of mormon and is going to take the path that leads her on! so ya! haha i love this work! we have a few other really promising prospects. i am glad the lord can trust us with his children! i read something cool today. in the book of joshua it talks about they had to march around the city of jericho 7 times. every time they were silent except the 7th when they all shouted and that is when the walls fell. in revelations it talks about a book of the history of the world that has 7 seals. we are in the final days of this world. and now more then ever the lord has asked us to shout! and we will watch the walls of the pride of the world that nephi and lehi saw, fall! i love this gospel! haha ok just for another funny note. in my spanish ward they have a hard time saying "Brantly" so eventually one person called me "Brownie" we all had a good laugh and now all of them call me Elder Brownie...i love this work. i miss you and talk to you next week!

letter from paul!
this is another letter from paul to you!
hey!
life here in K-town is awesome! my new companion is elder archibald. he is a newer elder from sandy utah!! thats right! haha but before his mission he was an EMT which means, if you roll your car he is the guy that shows up and keeps you alive till you get to the hospital! But with that training he is obligated to use it when it is need it. so he has a special pack with him all the time. and just the other night we were walking home. and there was a latino guy passed out on the side walk. so he went right to work. then i called 911. it was really cool to watch him work. they soon woke the guy up with some salts. but then we had to translate for him!! haha i love this work! but as far as the gospel work goes. we have some awesome prospects for this transfer. we already have one date for next week. plus some really strong investigators. so we are going to tear it up! our first night in the transfer we were walking around and we found a street vendor. we talked to her for a while. she seemed some what interested but we couldnt get a return appt. but she gave us free tamales! so at that point we decided that this was going to be a good transfer :) i hope all is well for you!
miss you!

Pauls new companion
Sorry I haven't had any time to put up any pictures of elder roper and paul my life has been packed but Paul has a new companion named Elder hopeawait (i think that is how you spell it) who is from new Zealand. Paul's new location is "straight up down town ghetto" -direct quote from Paul. He is now in Korea town spreading the gospel. His companion and him are the youngest team in the whole mission area right now because his companion has only been transfered one more time then Paul. Were hoping he is a big guy so if Paul offends someone with his up beat self Elder Hopeawait can just pick him up and run for it ha ha. I will try to put up more pictures sorry.
