So here I is, just posted up here in saint lizzy, living the dream. This week was just fantastic. To be completely honest, it might have been one of the greatest in the mission. On Wednesday, the travelling assistants came up to work with Elder Hopkin and I, and the elder that I went with and I found some awesome people that were way excited to hear about the Gospel. We then had a killer ward talent show on Friday night that was just filled with miracles. First of all, it was supposed to start at 8, but let´s be honest... When was the last time that a church activity started on time. But at like 8 05 there were 9 investigators there. Yeah they all got there before the members did. It was no big deal though. When it started one of the members came up to us and told us that there were two more girls there that weren´t members. We went up and started talking to them and realized that they are way sweet. One of them came to mutual saturday morning and absolutely loved it and now wants to get baptized. She also speaks english perfectly, so we might just see if we can teach the lessons in english... there is a first for everything right? Then on Saturday we had the baptism of zulema which was just great. She is a lady that we have been teaching for about a month and has one of the strongest testimonies I have ever heard. She is now helping us out a ton with the missionary work and is hooking us up left and right with references. She is just legit. I have posted a picture of her on the email.
Last night we found out that Elder Hopkin is bouncing out and Elder Huntington is coming in hot. He is from orangeville utah and is an absolute stud. I was with him in Chimbas and we grew to be best friends there so now we are both stoked to be together as companions and we are even more stoked to some some miracles. This will be his first transfer as zone leader so it should be a good one. I am just way excited to keep killin it here and working my hardest for the Lord.
I am also way stoked about the fact that chocolatada season is coming. I know that nobody understands that, but it is now time for Argentine hot chocolate and fresh bread. Oh it is just the greatest invention in the world and EVERYBODY offers it to us. Oh it is just going to be great. That´s about all I got for the newsletter of the week. Mom, I got the package, but it is in Mendoza and i will be picking it up hopefully in a few weeks when we make our way back down there.
I love you guys so much and am so grateful for your sacrifice on my part. I hope you all have a splendid week.
Elder Burr
