So here I am in yet another new area with a new companion. It is crazy to think that a new transfer is starting. My companion is a super cool guy. His name is Elder Vazquez and he actually went to Provo High and knows Meg and Madisson. Pretty small world huh? But yeah this is his last transfer which means that for sure I will be staying at least two up here. What a relief. The area of Albardon is absolutely massive. I don´t think it is possible to walk from one end to the other in a day. It has also been really successful in the past so we will see what the Lord has in store. It is super hot up here already. I think it is pushing 85 every day and we are still in the winter. Pretty stunning going from 50 to 85 in one day but it is what it is. I don´t think Argentina really has transfer seasons like spring and fall: It is just really hot or cold... No inbetween. I love it up here though. The house we live in is just a straight up crib. It is way too legit. Also the mosquitoes up here are a joke. I think I wake up scratching like 5 new bites a day.
It sounds like Marcus and Kyle just tore it up with their farewell talks. I´m not surprised. Marcus is just massive. His arms... ridiculous. That is so crazy that he is leaving on Wednesday. I hope all goes well around the house. Don´t miss us too much alright?? It´s a pretty sad story that I wont be able to see them for the next 2 years but I can fight through. Oh and another quick story. On Thursday I had to conduct the first baptismal interviews of my life. They were sweet. The Spirit was felt really strongly. I had to interview 3 kids and a mom. I was really nervous to be honest, but all went well. It was a really good learning experience. Other than that not much has happened. Just living the dream here. Loving every minute of it. I hope you all have a great week. Keep praying for the people here in Argentina. I love you all.
Love
Elder Burr
