Well we had our baptism this weekend and it was awesome. The hermana was sick so we thought she wouldnt want to do it but she pulled through and got baptized on saturday. One this that I have learned here is that mom would fit right in. EVery meeting that should start at 4 starts at like 430 so it is almost impossible to be late. Just kidding mom. Also you would think that the people would have ambition to work but the just have ambition to follow in their traditions of their parents and stay in the Catholic church. It is difficult at times but then again so rewarding when you actually find somebody who wants to be taught. This sunday we had a family of 5 walk into the church and said they wanted to see what it was like. They said they felt comfortable and we are going to their house tomorrow to see what is up with that. The Lord works in His own ways and they will always be a mystery to us. As I have seen this change, the first weeks were meant for me to learn patience and these last two weeks will be for reaping the fruits of our labor. I cant imagine a place that teaches more patience and humility than the mission. Every day we wake up knowing we will just get doors shut and rejected. That is the brutal truth but it is amazing how much character that builds. The second you think about being prideful or impatient or anything of the sort, you get reminded really quickly about who you really are. The best way to live the life I think is just submit to the will of the Lord. As we do this, we have faith that He is guiding us and we will do the things He wants. The second that we want to do something without His power, we are lost and forced to do it on our own. In the end, this method doesnt work out. We have been sent to this earth the do the will of the Father. That is what I have learned this week out here in the good ole mission field. It sounds like everything back there is just the same. Dad is going here and there, mom is apparently inspector gadget now days? The iPhone and all? Still with Verizon or what? That is sad about Lilli but it will all work out for the better. Jordan Reese is getting married now? Wow what is the world thinking? Why cant everybody just take a second to sit itt out and breathe for a second or two. In a year and a half I will have to come back and teach the world how to sit. Well I hope the best for all of you, may the Lord be with you in everything that you do. Until the next week, Elder Burr is out. I will be walking and sweating in the sweltering heat dont you even worry about me. I love you all.
Elder Burr
