Hello Everyone,This one is short because i took a really long time writing my dad, mom and my favorite sister. Sorry, but it was really good and i needed it. Well, we had a neat experience this sunday night when we recieved a referal from Rome 3. His name is Ali Shaker and is from Afghanistan. We usually cant teach those who are muslum or of a religion where they kill you if you switch religions but he became a christian and will not go back because if he does they will kill him. His family has abandoned him and has said bye to him basically. It is so tough and sad but i know that this gospel is going to help him so much. The trial that we have is that he speaks little english and even less italian. he speaks persian, which i didnt even know was a language. So my companion Anziano Breen studied the Persian Book of Mormon a little so we now know the number system and the chapter names. It is only a selection from the Book of Mormon because not all of it is translated, i dont know why. He has gone to church with the other elders 2 times in a row. he is going to go with us this week and we are going to try to teach him. This is such a neat experience. he is a great man and knows what is true and that God lives and we cant deny that. I also had the neatest lesson with a family on the Book of Mormon and Prayer. The feelings in that room were very tender and heart filled. We talked about why it is hard to pray at times and that we can only look forward rather than in behind. I love you all. Remember the things that are truly important. Love, Anziano Brewster
