In a Cupboard, Forgotten, Was a Type Writer

Derek has been a faithful shopper at the D.I.! We have all enjoyed watching him bring home treasures that he has found at basement bargain prices! Well....

Mandy and I made a long forgotten discovery a few weekends ago. We were looking through a cupboard of his and much to our surprise we found this old type writer he bought there! We drug it out and were so surprised to discover, it still worked!

We had a brilliant idea! Lets write to Elder Brazeau using this old typewriter! So we did! In fact all his sisters put a few lines to the page!

It was so funny to watch all the girls, who I might add, are very fluent in their computer skills, had some what of a difficult time just getting the hammer to strike the page!

At one point Mandy wanted to have the page return to the next line. She said "Mom? Where is the enter on this?" I chuckled and took hold of the arm on the reel and pushed it over to the other side. We laughed as she said" Really? shut! up! Your kidding!" I said "No I'm not kidding!" And then I showed her how to make an exclamation point. It was an apostrophe then I backspaced and put a period under it! We laughed some more.

Each of the girls and I had fun typing on Derek's old type writer! We laughed and reminisced about what fun memories we have had with him!

A Little about Elder Brazeau and his little world!

This is the church Elder Brazeau teaches free English classes as you can see the sign to the right in the picture above!

This is his apartment that he lives in. His door is on the right hand side. He said that he really loves it there and will hate to move out of it. They had another transfer but Derek stayed put and his companion Elder Chan transfered to a new area. But the thing thats neat is that he is back with Elder Mitchel!

I thought I would put a couple of cutie pies on here that are Derek's friends Evie and Heather! This was at Dallin Cox's farewell.

Elder Lan Fei Long (Blue Flying Dragon) (Derek)

I was so excited we received a package from

Elder Brazeau!

We received some pictures from him so I wanted to share them with you!

He is allowed to go to the temple on their preparation day every so often. He really enjoys being able to do that!



This is a picture of Paul Cui on his baptism day far right to the left Elder May, Elder Wayne, Gu Ma Ma and Elder Brazeau.



Gu Ma Ma is a very special person in Derek's life. He speaks so highly of her. She is kind of a Mom to these boys while they are so far from home! Gu means Turtle in Mandarin Chinese. In this picture Derek wanted us to see the little beaded turtles she makes :) Thus the name Gu Ma Ma



This is one of there P Days they went sight seeing!




This is one of 3 China towns in Toronto. Derek picked up some fun things while he was there to send to the family. Of course chop sticks for all of us were one of them!



Here him and his fellow and sister missionaries are at a sushi bar! He said he really likes sushi now! who'd of thunk that! :P
