Well it is good to be writing all you all again. This week was super good here in Rivadavia. Elder Williams and I have just been preppin up the baptism pool getting some people ready to make one of the biggest steps of their lives. It is way sweet seeing the way people change once they come in contact with the Gospel. We are teaching a kid named Ariel and he is just a stud. He is 16 and jacks people up on the soccer field. Anyways we have gone past his house like every day this past week and his mom and grandma are always thanking us for teaching him and bringing him into the church. They tell us that they can´t believe the change that he has made and they have no problems with him getting baptized. It was nice to have someone that is super solid and actually has a future ahead of them. He seems pretty content with it all and loves learning so it´s all good. Other than him we have a few more that are pretty legit but their stories aren´t very cool. Also this week we had a meeting with President Lindahl and he said he had a trip planned for me and that he was kicking me to the curb. BUT... the sad news is that I will not be staying in Rivadavia anymore. We seemed to get a call from President last night informing Elder Williams that he will be training a new missionary and that I will be leaving. I have no idea what is going on but this will be my fourth transfer, fourth area, and fifth companion... Pretty stunning. President told me I will be headed to Agardón, San Juan. I don´t really know how to spell the name but yeah. It is the most northern area in the entire mission and he also informed me that I was going to be district leader. I was pretty shocked to find out that I was going to be district leader at so short a time, but it is what it is. San Juan is going to be ridiculously hot. I have heard that 120 is about the average up there. All the people here say the summers there are brutal, so I guess we will see.  But yeah that is the news for the week. Some new guy is walking into a ton of baptisms, and I am leaving them all. It is pretty disappointing, but when presidend receives revelation, he doesn´t let anything get in his way. I will be with Elder Vazquez, who I don´t know anything about, and we will just tear it up. I love you all. Congrats to Cam and Ashley. That is awesome. I wish them the best of luck in the next few years to come. Have a great week!

Love

Elder Burr
