Marc's email 3/7/2011

Another day and another dollar out here in Villa Hidalgo. It sounds like all is well over there in Florida. Hearing all of the stories about Mike makes me remember when we pulled up to the drive thru at Jack in the Box and when the lady asked how we were, Mike leaned over and said¨"We are good, we are in a deully" That was when King Ranch and I were chillin getting chicks. But it sounds like fun, it seems like three months ago when Dad and I flew back there and we went to the Bahamas. I dont understand how the time is going by so fast but it sure is. How are Ben and Olivia holding up there in DC. Do they like living in the East or what? Also How is the family? I wouldnt know because apparently they are too busy to write their boy. Heather and Shea are good but other than that I dont hear much. Cameron hasnt written once since I started this adventure. That kid is blowing it. Where are they going to live down there and what are they going to do when it is 110 degrees? Also how are the kids, have Cam and Coop put in practice what I taught them? I know I am not a man of many talents but those talents that I do have I am willing to share. Well a little bit about me. Today I got the Valentines package that you sent and that was awesome so thank you everybody. This last week was a good one, we spent a lot of time touching doors and searching for "the chosen ones" but it seems as though a lot of them are still hiding. Dont you worry though I will find them and they will be baptized. I might need those night vision goggles but whatever it costs they will be found. It is like searching for Bin Laden. Speaking of him, has anybody found him? He is probably the culprit to all of the wickedness here in Mexico so while I am here I will search for him and if I find him, he will be baptized. Elder Quiroz is a little girly, he said he has always wanted a pony and takes almost 45 minuts to get ready but yeah I have learned to just accept him. Believe it or not I have learned to accept everyone and be nicer. The things that this mission has taught me so far are incredible. It has taught me the importance of having faith in the Lord. Having faith and the attitude of " I will go and I will do". That is one thing I have become a strong believer of. I will come to Mexico and in every area I will do the will of the Lord. I will knock where He wants me to knock and I will say what He wants said. This week I was prompted to tell a Pastor that the only people who had any authority here to baptize the people were my companion and I. He didnt take it well but the truth is the truth. I know that God lives and Jesus Christ is my brother. Like a brother, He is always willing to help me when I seek Him. I hope the best for all of you every day. Enjoy living the dream. I love you all.
Elder Burr
