Oh man what a great week that we have just had. It was a week filled with miracles and awesome stories. I guess I will have to start with an entertaining story. So the other night, While I was in my 6th dream, I started hearing a bunch of kids yelling. I stayed in the bed for a few seconds just listening, and thought it was a bunch of punks returning from a night out on the street. As I sat there listening I started hearing all the swear words come out then I started hearing some dudes throwing some punches. That really called my attention, so I got out of bed and went outside to see what was happening. To my surprise there was a group of about 30 kids just going at it. Punches were going everywhere and to be quite honest, I was pretty entertained. About 15 seconds later 12 policemen showed up shooting there shotguns in the air. That scared the kids and they all took off, but there is always the one that has to throw the rock to end it all. That really made the police mad so they all got in their cars and chased the kids. That is the end of the story. I don´t know what happened to them, but it was a great way to spend some time alone at 5 30 in the morning ha ha. A story a little more spiritual than that followed the next day. We went again to villa atuel, a little place I like to call zion, but instead of going just us two, we invited two young men in the ward, one of them being Nahuel, our recent convert. We arrived there early and decided we were going to eat breakfast in the plaza. As we were eating, a man passed by us on his bike. After he passed, he immediately turned around and told us that he felt like he needed to talk to us. He told us that his life was just a wreck, he had no money, he had tried comitting suicide, he didn´t want to live anymore and he was just a wreck. To make a long story short, the man ended up with a knowledge of the Savior and the desires to repent and be baptized. We then went the whole morning on divisions and it was awesome. The only problem with villa atuel is that it is super far away from the chapel so nobody comes to church, but we are talking about starting a branch out there so we will see what happens.
Aside from those two stories I don´t really have much to say. Walter got baptized on saturday and we are now planning on baptizing his entire family. They are awesome, but I will write more about them next week. I am absolutely loving the miracles that I am seeing and it is such a blessing being here. I know that this is the work of the Lord and that if I am willing to work with all my heart, might, mind, and strength, He will be with me in the streets. I hope you all have a great week!! I love you
Love
Elder Burr
