Our names are J and Christy Brown. We were in the Chinese Branch in the summer of 2009 when J was working for Pinnacle Security. Our time in the branch was only four months. It was short but memorable. J was called to be the second counselor of the Young Men Presidency and the Youth Sunday School teacher. He loved both callings very much. He said there were too many unforgettable experiences with the youth. But if he had to name one, it would be his object lesson to tear up a one dollar bill right in front of them and seeing their reactions. That was priceless. Another experience was making them walk the church parking a couple times for nothing. As for me, I recall that the Relief Society president (Sister Charlotte Shen) visit taught me every month by herself and made sure I was doing okay, even though she knew that I was only planning on being in the branch for a short period. I knew that she loved and was concerned with each Relief Society sister very much, and I could feel that. During the last week in Maryland we needed a place to stay because our apartment lease was done, so the Tsai family kindly let us stay in their home. We had a really good time and treasure our friendship even until now. After Maryland we moved back to Utah then to Indiana for our last year working with Pinnacle Security. Now we are currently living in Phoenix, Arizona, while J is attending Law school full time. Our family had one addition after we left the branch. She is our beautiful daughter, Indi Mae Brown. We named her Indi because she was born in Indiana. She has a good spirit, always smiles, and loves being with people. We miss all the members in the branch and the friendship we had made and hope all of you are doing well.
