I sang at a Baptist cookout

I'm 21 now! I'm old! I can buy beer! (yay?)

 

My birthday was rough; I missed you guys a lot that day. It ended happy, though.

 

Adventures of this week:

 

Elder Brown is now old enough to visit whatever establishment he so chooses.

 

I sang 'Mi Amigo Jesus' at a Baptist cookout to which we were invited. (I bet dad didn't know he was helping me prepare for my own mission when he played that song from his.)  Also at the cookout, we had burgers and hot dogs, and listened to some good old fashioned baptist hymns, then listened to an excellent sermon from a preacher about the brass serpent in the wilderness. (Elder Mathis is absolutely convinced that it was aimed straight at us in an attempt to get us 'saved'. I had to disagree with him on that one.)

 

Oh, here's a note from the mission office:

 

/begin message
