Just checkin in from Villa Hidalgo, Nayarit. This week was another great week out here in Villa Hollywood. We started out with a zone conference on wednesday where the President and the Hermana spoke to us about why we are here. I cant remember one compliment that they gave us it was all just full of ways we need to improve. I think they have forgotten how to give a positive compliment but its all good. The conference was awesome though cause we listened to a talk from Elder Holland that he gave in the MTC. It made me realize that I am here to serve the Lord not to serve myself of the President. I am here because He has trusted in me and left me here in Villa Hidalgo. He has trusted that I would bring him his "sheep" and that is why I am here. I know that at times it is hard but I know the Lord is always walking at my side. I have had countless experiences where I have felt his love and His presence and I cant deny the fact that He lives. He loves me and He is aware of me. Also that means that He loves all of you and is aware of all of you. He is always watching you and our Heavenly Father is always protecting us. I would give anything to go to the temple right now just to sit in that holy place and think about the love the Savior has for each one of us. It is kind of hard being out here with all of the stress and heat and hunger to just sit and ponder but in a few short months I will have my time. I am here to forget about myself and take on the image of my Savior Jesus Christ. He gave 33 years of His life for me and I am so grateful that He has let me give Him 2 years. It sounds like you cant stay home for longer that a month.. Are you starting to hate Utah or what? Tell Cam and Coop and Lucy and Shea and Ben and Adam and all of the hooligans happy birthday and congrats on the pinewood derby. I definately think that shea has the pinewood derby skills cause nobody in the Burr family knows the secrets to that stupid race. The only prize I ever won was the "Thanks for trying out but honestly your suck" prize. Its alright I have the memories of dad and I spending some time together with him always getting mad and impatient. What a great man our dad is. But mom I know that all of the good attributes that I have have come from you. You have been the best mom in the world and I couldnt ask for a better one. Thank you for everything you have ever done for me. Well family I have to bounce, someone from the branch forgot to breath and died so we have to go help them. I am so grateful for all of you and love you all. Next week Ill hit you up with some photos.
Love Elder Burr
