Marc's email 11/23/2010

Dear family,
Your boi, the one and only, the most met is going to mexico before next tuesday. I went to the consolate today up in salt lake and got my visa. now i am just waiting for my flight plans then its off to guadalajara. I dont know what day for sure and i also wont be able to tell you unless it is after next tuesday so basically dad be expecting a phone call sometime between now and next tuesday. they are really convenient at giving me news so that is about all i know. So mom i need to get my new license here and i can take presents if they are small and few. I really dont know what i need i would love a new tie or something considering the fact i love ties now days. i will be sending a package home with stuff that i cant take and my picture card and stuff. Anyway to say the least i cant wait. I am absolutely terrified but its what i came out here to do and I know the Lord is on my side. It was weird cause my comps and I were saying our guesses of when we were leaving and i said, two weeks ago, that the 23 of noviembre we will go to the consolate. today in the temple i felt that "yep today is your day Elder Burr" and what do you know, i got hooked. Its amazing how much the Lord loves His missionaries. I feel as if every single one of my prayers has been answered from the simplest to the most complex prayers i know ever one of them has been answered. Dad i am proud of you for the protest our whole government blows. I hope that we get the best out of that and sorry for what that guy said. we all know government workers. Also i am jealous you get to go get the mooney i love that airplane. did you hear about the crash in Draper?? aparently there was a plane from uvu that crashed. To answer your thoughts, I am out here to be a sower. I would be fine with not getting one baptism as long as i planted seeds. The reaper is the one that gets all the glory. the reaper is the quarterback who thinks that they are all glorious because they get the praise. I am here to baptize but i am here more to plant seeds of Christ. I want to be a sower. Also i would love to have that chapter emailed to me. that story about craig is absolutely unbelievable and i am pretty pumped for him. I hope he loves it. Mom thank you for spending time with quade and taking him out to eat. Thank you mom and dad for the wingers. I cant even begin to describe how good it was and how warm and fresh and succulent and just unbelievable they were. Thank you so much for that and also for everything else. It sounds like Thanksgiving will be a headache. My day will consist of some study, Thanksgiving meal at 12, some service, sack dinner, and a program of some sort. Pretty lame day if you ask me but ill take whatever just as long as i get out of here. I hope everyone is doing good and i pray for you all. I know the Savior lives and I know that only through Him we can return. I know we have a plan on this earth and i know our Heavenly Father only wants us to be happy. I know Jesus Christ atoned for me and for everyone. I know that God answers prayers and He is our loving Heavenly Father. I know that Joseph Smith is a prophet of God and he restored the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know this church is true with all of my heart. Mom and Dad thank you for everything. Thank you for being the best parents in the world and thank you for the example you set. I love you all so much and next time you hear from me is on the phone. Have a great week and mom please send that stuff so i can get it before i leave. Thank you for everything family you are the best
