From: "Bauer brown" : Wednesday, April 1, 2009 Hey family what is up!! sorry for how short my letter was last week, I didn't want to tell you then but I was so sick. I was puking my guts out and I could hardly type. It was really crazy, Elder Coats had the same thing and we thought we were good enough to go e-mail but I got really sick as I was typing so I had to cut it short. It only lasted for one day and that day just so happened to be P-day. So we were in bed all day and throwing up every 20 minutes. but we are all good now so don't worry one bit. our investigator did heal and was baptised on Saturday so that is really cool. we have a few more who are getting close. So just the other day i had another cool thing happen, as we were walking down the road you will never believe what I saw! No not a freak in armadillo but a freak-in possum! yeah it was dead but still pretty cool, I was a little hesitant walking up to it because I know their tricks, Ive seen the discovery channel, they play dead and then when you get close they attack. haha so after that we went and taught this guy named Richard and he is really cool and loves listening to our message. I don't know if I told you this but last weekend Gladys Knight and her choir from Las Vegas came to Bessemer and we got to take our investigators to see her. She sang and shared her testimony it was really good, and now we have a lot of people calling us because they want to know what Gladys Knight believes haha. Well today I'm going to go shopping because we were so sick last week we couldn't go so we were without food for the week, but don't worry Elder Coats and I are both Eagle Scouts and we set up some mouse traps around the house and caught our food haha just mess in but that's almost what it came down to, plus it was the end of the month so I was low on money and I'm trying not to use the money from back home as much as I can so tell me if im using to much of it. well family it sounds like everything is going good back home. its going good here!! I gotta go love ya!!
