DURING LUNCH, ON THE BUS, IN THE FLAT, DURING DINNER, DURING SECOND DINNER!! ALWAYS! I LOVE IT!! SO WE WERE ALL CHALLENGED TO ONLY USE THE BOOK OF MORMON IN OUR TEACHING ALL LAST WEEK! TWO THINGS HAPPENED:

ONE: I CAME TO APPRECIATE THE BIBLE MORE!! IT SHOWED ME JUST HOW MUCH I USE IT!! EVEN THOUGH IT IS ALWAYS IDEAL TO TEACH OUT OF THE BOOK OF MORMON THE BIBLE IS SO POWERFUL AND A WONDERFUL TOOL AS WELL!!

TWO, MY TESTIMONY AND FAITH IN THE BOOK OF MORMON INCREASED!! I HAD TO FIND SCRIPTURES THAT APPLY TO THINGS AND I HAD TO RELY ON THE LORD SO MUCH TO DO IT!! I LOVE THE SCRIPTURES!!
HERE IS A LINK TO A WONDERFUL MESSAGE!!   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3dNYpXZIN_c   IT HAS HELPED ME SO MUCH!! I HAVE LOVED READING THE BOOK OF MORMON SO MUCH LAST WEEK AND REALLY FOCUSING ON IT!!  (ACTUALLY, ITS NOT THE ONE I LOVE BUT THIS ONE LOOKS SWEET TOO!! 😉

WELL BEING MY FATHERS CHILD I HAVE A LOT OF STAR WARS QUOTES I LIKE.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHO CALLED…?  I GAVE YOUR NUMBER TO ETHEL TO HAVE HER SAY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DAD AND TO WISH KALTEN AND ALLISON A HAPPY WEDDING DAY BUT THAT’S ALL!  HERE THERE ARE NO ANSWERING MACHINES SO THEY WOULD HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO LEAVE A MESSAGE OR EVEN WHAT IT WAS!!!

THAT’S SCARY ABOUT THE NICKLES KID!! BUT YOU ARE A PRO!  GLAD YOU WERE THERE!

LIFE IS GOOD!! YOU BOUGHT MCKENNNA A CAR HUH!? THINK SHE WILL LET ME BUY IT FROM HER!?

I GET TO DRIVE IT WHEN SHE IS GONE!?  IT’LL BE FINE I WON’T WRECK IT! ALTHOUGH I DIDN’T THINK I WOULD WRECK THE VAN!! BUT I WILL NOT DRIVE FOR A BIT WHEN I GET HOME!! I CAN’T! MY MIND WON’T WORK FOR THE RIGHT HAND SIDE!! HAHA ALTHOUGH A COUPLE OF TIMES I HAVE LOOKED IN THE MOVING CARS AND SEEN CHILDREN IN THE RIGHT HAND SIDE AND FREAKED OUT A BIT!! “WHY IS THERE A CHILD DRIVING IN THE CAR!?” THEN I REMEMBER!

YEAH, I AM SENIOR COMP! ACTUALLY ITS NOT TOO BAD!! I THINK I NEEDED IT! I NEED TO BE A LEADER AND NOT BE LED OR I DON’T FEEL LIKE I AM GROWING AS FAST!! THIS IS BETTER! I LIKE THE RESPONSIBILITY!! KING BENJAMIN TAUGHT ME JUST HOW ACCOUNTABLE I AM FOR BOTH ME AND HER!! NOW I UNDERSTAND WHY IF A CHILD SINS IT GOES TO THE PARENTS! THE ONLY REASON KING BENJAMIN GAVE HIS SPEECH IS SO HE COULD SAY THAT HE TAUGHT THE PEOPLE AND THAT HE SHOULDN’T BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE IF THEY DISOBEY BECAUSE HE TAUGHT THEM!  SO I LIKE THE RESPONSIBILITY!!

YEAH, WE GET ALONG GREAT!! IT MIGHT BE BETTER IF I HAD AN AFRICAN THOUGH SO I WILL GROW MORE AND FASTER!  PLUS WITH AN AFRICAN I CAN STOP COOKING! ALTHOUGH I WILL MAKE MY HUSBAND HAPPY SOMEDAY!!! 🙂 I’M GETTING GOOD! WELL I THINK SO! BUT I DO HAVE LOTS OF VEGGIES TO WORK WITH!​  ITS NOT THAT I WANT THE CHALLENGE AS MUCH AS I NEED IT!! I PLAN ON BEING DIFFERENT THAN I WAS AT HOME!! MY MISSION WONT BE IN VAIN!! I AM DETERMINED ABOUT THAT! ALTHOUGH MY WEIGHT FLUXUATES ALOT SO I MIGHT BE TWO OF ME WHEN I GET HOME !:)

YEAH I MISS THAT GIRL!! (SISTER GRIFFUS) I CANT WAIT TO HANGOUT WITH HER AS A FRIEND AND NOT AS ANOTHER HALF WHEN I GET HOME!!! 🙂

ME I DON’T HAVE THE ACCENT!!

​ I DON’T EVER JUST USE MY FIRST NAME! FOR ANYTHING! IT FEELS TOO WEIRD!! I DON’T KNOW HOW I AM GOING TO GO HOME AND GO BY NEICIA!! I DON’T LIKE IT! TOO SHORT! SISTER NEICIA MARIE BROWNING! OR I ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN GIVEN A CHICHEWA NAME! MDALITSO!  IF I COME BACK THAT IS WHAT I WILL BE CALLED AFTER MISSION! IT MEANS BLESSINGS!

NO, I GOT IT HERE! I GOT A TAMBUKA NAME IN ZINGWANGA BUT I FORGOT WHAT IT WAS!! TAMBUKA IS A LANGUAGE A LOT OF THE PEOPLE HERE SPEAK IT IS FROM UP NORTH!

WISH I COULD HAVE HEARD DAD’S TALK.

HEY FOR MY NEXT PACKAGES CAN YOU SEND A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR MY COMPS? THAT WAY THEY DON’T FEEL LIKE JERKS WHEN I MAKE THEM SHARE IT WITH ME!! BUT IT IS SO HARD TO NOT GET SOMETHING AND WATCH YOUR COMP GET!! WE HAVE TO WAIT SO LONG AND JUST HOPE WE GOT A LETTER OR SOMETHING AND THEN WHEN MAIL AND PACKAGES ARE DELIVERED ITS ALWAYS HARD TO NOT GET WHEN YOUR COMP DOES!!! SO MAYBE JUST A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR THEM!!! 🙂 I DON’T WANT TO BE SELFISH! AND I KNOW THEY FEEL BAD FOR SHARING!! THESE THINGS ARE SO PRECIOUS!

My new area is good although I don’t really feel a connection to it! I don’t have this love for it! like I did for Zingwangwa but I am sure I will get there! Although I feel like I will be transferred soon! President won’t keep us together for long!!

I’m still speaking Chichewa! I am not in a village! Here in Blantyre they use Chichewa all the way through Malawi!! and the people are all from different villages across Malawi so there isn’t a specific one! They do have xing “villages” but it’s just part of Blantyre. the Internet has a lot of weird and xing info!!

I DID LEARN A LOT THOUGH IN ALL OF THIS MADNESS!!

(I AM GOING TO CHEAT AND JUST COPY/PASTE MY EMAIL TO MY MISSION PRESIDENT!)
Hello President!
Man, this week. it was wonderful! it was awesome to teach this week. Its awesome to be a missionary in the GZLM.

As i was going through my week I realized something. Heavenly Father can do his own work. I knew that before, I had heard it, but it never really hit me until this week. It made me wonder why I am out here. why does the Lord call missionaries!? It’s so he can build us in the process.
This was one of the biggest things I learned from Sister Griffus. She taught me about the atonement. About how we are being built up by our Heavenly Father.
I learned this week that the reason that I have not yet reached the type of missionary I want to be is because I never will. I will always have something to work on. That is why I sometimes feel a little unqualified. I am unqualified. I get the opportunity to work hard now. To go through the pain of repentance and to assist the Lord in not only building the people in Malawi but also myself. I am so grateful for the times that I don’t feel as strong, that when I can completely rely on the Lord and be stronger then I ever could by myself.
I feel so much more peace about where I am as a missionary. I am not perfect but I know where I need to work and how I am going to do it. The Lord and I are a team now. He is building me and I will let him and assist in anyway I can! I am just ready to serve him!
Like we talked about in an interview a while ago I am looking at this change as a new start. It’s a time that I get to strive to be the best I can be. I will be more obedient I will work in more unity with the Lord and my companion and I will try harder. I am excited! I know I can do it, with the help of my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ!
President I am so excited! Truly I am. Changing areas will be hard but it will be good. I feel like I became too comfortable there. I can assure you I am not now so here we go growth! Haha.
Life is good! I am happy!
I love you and hope your week is so very good!
Sister Browning
WELL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS I TRULY DO KNOW THAT I AM DOING THE LORDS WORK!

Mommy!

Hey can you get these for McKennna?  They will help her sooooooo much!

 

I SENT HER A BOOK OF MORMON AND A GOOD IDEA IN THE PACKAGE THAT I SENT! IT WAS PROMISED BY DAVID A BEDNAR THAT IF WE CHOOSE ONE TOPIC TO STUDY, READ THE BOOK OF MORMON EVERY DAY, MARKING EVERYTHING RELATING TO THE CHOSEN TOPIC THAT WE WILL NEVER GO ASTRAY! I HAVE BEEN DOING THIS AND MY KNOWLEDGE OF THE BOOK OF MORMON HAS STRENGTHENED SOOOOOO MUCH!  SHE TALKED TO ME ABOUT SPEAKING AT SEMINARY GRADUATION YESTERDAY! I THINK SHE HAS GOOD IDEAS! SHE WILL DO GOOD!

WELL, BYE MOMMY!

Email chat with mom 5/4/215

I think the areas will be changes soon so I will probably be transferred to a different area!! The mission got moved down to 60 people so we have to change a lot of the boundaries and we will all have very large areas!! There are about 90’ish missionaries now!! So it will be really small!! 1/3 of us will be gone in 6 months and then the first presidency just wants that many missionaries here!! VERY rare mission call!

I am skyping at 6 p.m. my time!! I think that that is 10 a.m. your time. Gotta to go have sister g’s last Monday!! She is just ehh about it all!!! Super excited to leave and super bummed she has to leave, haha!!

NEICIA’S SPEECH READ AT KALTEN’S AND ALLISON’S RECEPTION 4/17/2015

DEAREST FRIENDS, FAMILY AND PEOPLE!

THIS IS SISTER NEICIA MARIE BROWNING TALKING THROUGH THE BEAUTIFUL
MOUTH OF RILEY SOUTHFIELD! I WOULD JUST LIKE TO TAKE THIS TIME TO TALK
TO MY NEW SISTER ALLISON!

ALLISON I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! I HAVE TOLD YOU MANY TIMES BUT I AM GLAD
THAT WE ARE SISTERS NOW! YOU ARE THE BEST! WE SHALL BE TOGETHER FOR
THE ETERNITIES NOW! I DON’T KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT YOU BUT I DO KNOW HOW
LEGIT YOU ARE! I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THE COUPLE OF TIMES THAT I WAS
ABLE TO MEET YOU AS WELL! I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE LOVE THAT YOU SHOW MY
FAMILY! THEY ARE WONDERFUL AND YOU ARE GOING TO FIT IN PERFECTLY! I
ALWAYS WANTED KALTEN TO MARRY SOMEONE I WOULD BE FRIENDS WITH! NOW HE
HAS!

I WILL NOW PROCEED TO TELL YOU WHO YOU JUST MARRIED! I HAVE KNOWN
KALTEN FOR SOMETIME NOW! ABOUT 19 OR SO YEARS! IN THE MAJORITY OF
THOSE YEARS KALTEN HAS DEMONSTRATED LOVE BETTER THEN ANYBODY (BESIDES
MY MOTHER) I KNOW! KALTEN WILL SHOW YOU EVEN MORE LOVE THAN HE EVER
SHOWED ME! HE IS A DEVOTED PERSON TO THE PEOPLE HE LOVES!! I KNOW THAT
KALTEN LOVES YOU VERY MUCH! HE WOULDN’T MARRY YOU WITHOUT ME IF HE
DIDN’T! KALTEN IS A VERY LUCKY KID THAT HE GETS YOU! HE WILL ALWAYS BE
THERE FOR YOU!

HERE IS A STORY!

ONCE AS A YOUNG SMALL INNOCENT CHILD I WAS BEING DISTERBED BY AN
ANNOYING CHILD I DIDN’T KNOW! OBVIOUSLY I WOULD NEVER DESERVE SUCH A
THING! BUT REGARDLESS HE WAS TEXTING ME AND DEMANDING A PICTURE OF ME!
I HAD NO INTEREST IN SENDING HIM ONE! AFTER A COUPLE DAYS OF HIS
PERSISTENT NAGGING I TOLD THE MOST MATURE AND RESPONSIBLE ADULT I
KNEW! I WENT TO 16 YEAR OLD KALTEN! I TOLD HIM OF THE SITUATION I WAS
IN! TAKE NOTE OF WHAT KALTEN DID NEXT!! KALTEN STANDS UP BECKONING FOR
ME TO FOLLOW HIM. I FOLLOW! HE WALKS TO MY ROOM AND OPENS MY CLOSET!
HE PROCEEDS TO GRAB A PAIR OF SKINNY JEANS AND A FEMININE PINK SHIRT!
THE KIND WITH LACE AND WHAT NOT! HE THEN BEGINS TO TAKE OFF HIS
CLOTHES REPLACING THEM WITH MINE! LOOKING LIKE AN AWKWARD MANLY CHICK
HE TELLS ME TO TAKE A PICTURE! I DID SO! WE SENT IT TO THIS ANNOYING
KID. THE KID MUST HAVE BEEN VERY DISTURBED! HE NEVER TEXTED BACK!

THIS IS THE SAME KID YOU JUST MARRIED! HE WILL GIVE YOU HIS MAN CARD
IF YOU NEED IT! MAN I LOVE THAT KID!

WELL NOW THAT YOU ARE BOTH MARRIED GET STARTED ON A FAMILY! GENESIS
1:28: “…and [a representative of Jesus Christ] said unto them, Be
fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth” AUGUST 12 IS 9ISH
MONTHS BEFORE I RETURN HOME FROM AFRICA SO BE PREGNANT BY THEN
PLEASE!! I WANT A GIRL THAT WAY I AM FREE TO ONLY HAVE BOYS! FEEL FREE
TO NAME HER AFTER ME! OR I HAVE SOME NICE SOUNDING MALAWIAN NAMES!
CHIKULUPILIRIO IS A NICE ONE! OR MADOLITSO! BET THAT WAS FUN FOR RILEY
TO SOUND OUT! POOR KID!

ANYWAYS I LOVE YOU BOTH! ALL THE MUSHY MUSHY STUFF AND YEAH!
NI NA KU KONDA!
YOUR NEW AND OLD SISTER, NEICIA!

WELL, THIS WEEK WAS WONDERFUL! THE BEGINNING OF THE WEEK WAS JUST LIKE SAME OL’! I WAKE UP AND ROLL OUT OF BED! I NORMALLY USE THE RESTROOM AND THEN I WORK OUT! BY WORK OUT I MEAN I TRY TO DO A PUSH UP AND JUST FALL OVER! THEN NORMALLY I TRY TO GET UP! START SIT UPS. GET TO ABOUT 3 AND THEN I STRETCH! GET DISCOURAGED BECAUSE I STILL CAN’T TOUCH MY TOES! BUT HEY THE STRUGGLE IS REAL RIGHT? SO THEN NORMALLY I GET DRESSED! AND THEN EAT SOME BREAKFAST! IF WE HAVE SOME! TODAY WE DIDN’T I AM CURRENTLY STARVING!! STARVING IN AFRICA!! 🙂 I STILL LIKE SAYING THAT! THEN SOME PERSONAL STUDY!!! 🙂
THEN I WENT OUT TO THE AREA. I PLAYED HARD AND WORKED HARDER!! LIFE IS GOOD! MISSION IS GOOD!! THEN WE LEAVE THE AREA AT 5! GET HOME AT 6 AND THEN PLAN FOR OUR NEXT DAY AND THEN PERSONAL STUDY!! THEN WE GO INTO THE KITCHEN, CRY BECAUSE FOOD DIDN’T MAGICALLY APPEAR! THEN WE EAT THINGS THAT WE WOULDN’T EVER EAT AT HOME FOR DINNER! WE ARE BRAVE! 😉
THEN I USUALLY WRITE IN A JOURNAL OR MAYBE A LETTER FOR SOME LUCKY SOUL! AND THEN I DO IT AGAIN!! 🙂
SO I BET YOU ARE WONDERING WHY MY WEEK WAS SO WONDERFUL!! WELL MY FRIENDS IT BECAUSE OF…
ACTUALLY! LET ME JUST TELL YOU SOMETHING I HAVE LEARNED! SINCE DAY ONE I REALIZED JUST HOW MUCH I TAKE FOR GRANTED! HERE IS A LIST: CARPET, REAL KETCHUP, DOGS WITH EARS…(YEAH NOT JOKING!), WATER, ELECTRICITY, MY BEAUTIFUL WONDERFUL MOTHER! THE REST OF THE RASCALS THAT I GET TO CALL FAMILY, A CAR, COCKROACH FREE KITCHENS, PROVIDED TOILET PAPER, PANDA EXPRESS, THE GOSPEL, MILK, COWS IN GENERAL, AND THE BYU CHANNEL!
SO THOSE ARE JUST A SMALL HANDFUL OF THINGS THAT I TOOK FOR GRANTED! BUT THE ONE THAT I WANT TO FOCUS ON IS THE LAST ONE! BYU CHANNEL!! NO GENERAL CONFERENCE AIRED TO US ALL THE WAY OUT HERE!!  ADD WORKING COMPUTERS THAT DON’T THINK FOR THEMSELVES TO THE LIST OF THINGS I TAKE FOR GRANTED! AND AUTO CORRECT! YOU GUYS GET THE WHOLE FULL VERSION OF MY BAD SPELLING AND BAD GRAMMAR! (ACTUALLY MY COMP HAS HELPED ME A LOT WITH THE GRAMMAR! SHE IS AMERICAN SO YEAH…)
… SO I HAVE BEEN HEARING ABOUT HOW EVERYBODY LOVED THE CONFERENCE AND HOW INSPIRING IT WAS! WELL HERE I WAS STILL WAITING! BUT I FINALLY GOT TO WATCH IT! THAT WAS SO AWESOME!! (A MONTH AGO I WOULD’VE SAID “SO VERY MUCH AWESOME!” SEE GRAMMAR IS EVEN BETTER!!) I LOVED IT SO MUCH! I KNEW THAT IT TALKED SO MUCH ABOUT FAMILIES (LET ME JUST TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE IT HERE!! WE HAVE “I NEED THE EVERY HOUR” PLAYING IN THE LITTLE STORE I AM IN RIGHT NOW!! THE BEST!) BECAUSE MY LOYAL FRIEND KRISTY AND TOLD ME! AND SHE WAS SO RIGHT!! I LOVED HEARING SO MUCH ABOUT THE POTENTIAL THAT THE FAMILY HAS! JUST HOW IMPORTANT IT IS AND I JUST LOVE MY FAMILY AND AM SO THANKFUL FOR THEM! ALSO, I LOVED HOLLANDS TALK!! (SO DID MY AMAZING SIBLING MCKENNA AND PROBABLY THE REST OF THE WORLD) HE IS SO WONDERFUL!!
I LOVED GENERAL CONFERENCE! I THINK AS MUCH AS I LOVE IT WHEN I GET TO GO! I IT’S SO AWESOME! I THINK THAT HAVING TO WAIT FOR IT REALLY HELPED STRENGTHEN MY TESTIMONY ON ITS IMPORTANCE! IT WAS ACTUALLY REALLY HARD TO HAVE TO WAIT SO LONG! I FEEL SO BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO BE WHERE SO MUCH COUNSEL AND ENCOURAGEMENT FROM THE LORDS SERVANTS IS HERE UPON THE EARTH! THE GOSPEL IS WONDERFUL MY FRIENDS! IT IS TRUE! HOW COULD IT NOT BE!! THE FEELING I GET WHEN I WATCH THOSE MEN TALK CAN’T BE COPIED BY THE ADVERSARY! GOD IS SO POWERFUL AND I AM SO VERY GRATEFUL THAT HE HAS SENT ME THE HOLY GHOST THAT HAS TESTIFIED TO ME AGAIN AND AGAIN THAT GOD IS THERE. THAT HE KNOWS ME. HE LOVES ME FOREVER AND THAT THIS IS HIS CHURCH. THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS! (MPINGO YESU KHRISTU MUSICO ES ELIZA!)
ALL THIS MADE MY WEEK GOOD! BUT WHAT MADE IT WONDERFUL! WAS WHEN I GOT TO… OH I DON’T KNOW… TAKE A PICTURE WITH THE PROPHET!!! I KNOW YOU ALL MUST BE LIKE “WHAT!?!?” MABOZA KWAMBILI! !!! IE! WELL, HECK YES I DID! DA BEST!!! 🙂
