yay! one night early! :D ha! not that it really makes any difference, right? xD but thank you for your effort! :D

ok. So. if they change in July... then President Dewsnup should have already changed out then, right? or do they stay in for two years? cause President Dewsnup has been in for... like, from what he said, since they mission opened here... which I think was back in 2004? no sé. so I would imagine that he should be released soon... right? I dunno. but he's got a sense of humer, I just gotta find where he hides it! ha ha ha!

as for the perky, I'm doing FANTASTIK! :D I've discovered that, hey, I'm gonna learn Spanish eventually, right? right. yeah. but also, I've noticed that every day as I sit down during my personal study and during my language study, with a book of Mormon in one hand and El Libro de Mormón in the other and just read it verse by verse, it's totally a booster to my Spanish. huh. interesting how that works, right? yeppers. so every day that I do that, I notice that my Spanish gets better by like... a MILLION times. I can say complete sentences! I can read things! (in spanish. :P cause I'm pretty sure I could read things before I came here, right?) and I remember small obscure dusty verbs that I studied like ten weeks ago. woot! and no. people don't laugh at me, thank you! :P I've noticed that they always sit there and focus on what I'm saying though, so that makes me feel nice. it's always nice to be listened to every once in a while, right? xD :D and thank you. even with my haircut you still think I'm cute. ;) speaking of which, I cut my own hair last week. :-O I know, right?! yeah, it was with a... the... the thingie... OH YEAH! the buzz clippers. there we go. wow! that was weird. OK. so our zone leaders had us get our haircut because we had a general authority come for a conference, and then he came and get our ZONE conference, too! so we got to see him twice. but the second time was more directed to us, because,well... it was a zone conference for missionaries. it was Gary J. Coleman, and I'm not sure if I told you this or not... but back in the CCM, I joined another district to sing for a meeting, and then (because we had this awesome accapella arrangement of how great thou art (gran eres tu in Spanish)) they had us sing to him when he was visiting to talk to the Guyanans that were staying there. so I got to see him three times! :D :D :D he's an area 70 for the Carribian I believe. but he is a really neat guy. really cool to talk to.

[Jennifer - I think I told you last week that Lisa and David had their baby. He finally has a name......Carter Lee. a lot better than Vern! We stopped by on our way to Gma & Gpa's on Sunday. He is so cute! Not bad for 4 weeks early. He will fill out soon enough. The Carlsen's had theirs and named him Emmitt. Franzens are next!]

aw, carter Lee is a cute name. :D whats their last name again? I can't remember... :)

OK. so I hope that I can fill out the email a bit more. I spent like fifteen minutes trying to load up some pictures (and a pretty awesome video, if I do say so myself, of my apartment) but it was taking forever, and I wanted to be able to at least get the chance to email something this weeks, so I'll see if I can email the memory card home soon, cause I've got some good stuff on there. or at least try to get stuff sent next week. :D

oh my goodness. the weather?! it's fantastic here almost all the time! :D it's like 95 degrees out on average, and yesterday was super hot, like 100 I think. but it's just so great. and we have a car here too! :D yes! so I get off pretty easy here. but something I think is really hilerious, is that one of my good buddies from the CCM is on Vieques (the island right off the eastern coast of PR) and he doesn't have a car, so he's walking all day, but I'm like, way tan now. don't even know how, cause I'm riding in the car all the time, but I am. and he's still pretty white. hmm. good stuff. :D

also, thank you for sending that message to Steph. I sent her a letter last week, but it was to her house, cause I don't have her school address yet, so it has to get to her via her home address first, which is gonna be like another week and a half? I dunno. but I love how that was a super awesome run on sentence. LOVE IT! also, what could you possible say that would embarrass ME? :P

that's so weird that Donny's having trouble getting up... has he tried some tums in the morning? I think that might help. :) SPEAKING OF DONNY: he BETTER not be using my backpack! that's my BABY! so you better correct that problem. xD I've had her since 7th grade, and I wanna keep using it! ALSO speaking of which, I STILL have yet to find a backpack... :-/ so I'm looking still.

DAH! Donny? my little Donzer?! no! he CANT be turning 16. that's just ridiculous. but speaking of which, I need to toss him an email next week for that.

well that's good to know that Tawny is still stopping by for haircuts even after I'm gone! ha ha ha! I kinda figured that she like me, ya know? I dunno. kinda obvious to me the way she was acting around me, ha ha!

also, the tie? which Tie was it? I can't remember... but I've gotten a few new free ones around from transfers. I got some pretty awesome ones that were just sitting around. I showed 'em in the video, but I don't know when I'll be able to send it! :'( I'll try, I will!

no.. I haven't gotten my suit dry cleaned yet... I want to though! :'( I just have to find a place that can do it around here. :)

so I'm in Rio Grande. and guess what?! we have the Yunque here! :D :D ha ha! what luck.ours is the only area that has it,so one of these days we are gonna head out and chill there in one of our p days for a little bit. My companion is Elder Maldonado, he's a native, from right here in Puerto Rico. he's from Utuado, pronounced oo-too-ah-doe ;), that last one is a long o, like row. :) ooo! and using the word of wisdom is PERFECT! excellent thinking. but I'm building him up to eating more. also, I'm introducing him to a thing called... *announcer voice* NUTRITION! :D it's this little thing that good for your body so you can eats lots of it, and STILL NOT GET FAT! ha ha ha! thats actually what he's been worrying about, even though he's as skinny as me. RIDICULOUS! so I'm helping him discover salad this week. I finally convinced him to let us buy some.

dah! out of time! ok. I'll have pictures next week, and finish up detailing about the area.

I'll TRY and send some snail mail, eh? hows that? :P we have to get the oil/ filter changed and a few other things, so that's gonna take about two hours apparently, so I've got some time.


OF COURSE I'll make the most of this! :P who do you think I am, a log? gosh. :P

LOVE YOU MORE THAN EVER! :D

~Elder Brandon Bryan.

also, if you really can convince the young women to send me some letters... that would be cool with me, I guess. xD

LOVE YOU!
