He's in Columbia City, Indiana!!

**A side note from the Express' mom: those of you who know Brogan, know he is not the kind of young man who toots his own horn.  So, it is pretty funny to see him do it here!  This is a great letter and I am SO happy he's got a great trainer!

Hey everybody!

My flight to Indianapolis was good. A middle aged Italian man came up to me and a few of the elders and told us that he was converted at age 19 and that he wished he could have served a mission. He told us how much happiness the gospel has brought to his life. He then told us to find and help people like him, at that moment I knew that people are waiting for me to find them and bring them happiness too, this is where I belong. I was placed with an amazing trainer, Elder Savas, in Columbia City which is a pretty small town. I didn't have to bear my testimony in my new ward but me and my companion gave the opening and closing prayers in sacrament meeting and in the gospel principles class. We had 2 investigators come with us to church, Rhonda and Judy, they had a great time. On saturday the ward had a volleyball activity and I was obviously the best there. I kept serving it to one of the young men and people were telling him to return it. He said "I'm up against a missionary! What am I supposed to do!?!" That was awesome. We get a car every other week which is pretty nice. Did I mention we have a foosball table in our apartment? I miss the mountains and beautiful forests of Oregon but I have seen some great places here. It hasnt gotten too cold here yet but its supposed to get pretty cold soon, I cant wait for that. I also can't wait to see some snow. I miss real music but my companion has some pretty cool church music and MoTab
CDs. And thank you so much mom for the package full of stuff. These sweaters have really helped, and so has the pillow. When I was unpacking I found Woody in my suitcase, I will cherish him all throughout my mission. I LOVE YOU MOM!! If you wouldn't mind sending my volcom suit coat and my winter coat that would be great, I have a feeling I'll be needing it soon. We might go golfing today if it isn't raining which would be super fun. We played chess last night on P-day eve and I slaughtered my companion. Some of the people we tract into are cool but others not so much. Just saturday night we tracted into a drunk guy and had a pretty funny conversation which I will not reveal at this time. My companion think that we are going to baptize our 2 progressing investigators which would be super awesome. I have given out a few pass along cards and one Book of Mormon so far which was pretty cool. I hope the others who came out with me have been having as good a time as I have. I love you all!
