Well it sounds like everybody finally got married and I am just here in Estancia. This area is so tight compared to the little podunk town I was stuck in before. It is in the middle of downtown Guadalajara and the temple is in my area. My comp is Elder Lopez and he is way tight. He was a world champion in Muy Thai and has one change less than I do. We have various people that we are teaching and daily we are looking for more. The picture that I sent you is just a dog that wanted to eat us. That thing was huge if you cant tell. We had the opportunity to speak in church yesterday and that was an awesome experience. I talked about the talk the Elder Bednar gave about asking with faith. Then I told them that it is their job to look for people and their family members and it is our job to teach them and baptize them. I felt the spirit so strong and I still dont know why. I just know that the Spirit was talking through me and the Lord directed my whole talk. It was a well needed experience. This first week in this area was awesome though and it is a relief to finally be out of Villa. I learned so many things though and made some awesome friends that have taught me how to be a humble person. It is funny how I went from the poorest area of the mission to one of the richest areas in one change. This area is awesome though. As many of you know the United States played against Mexico and it just turns out the my team one. EVerybody has given me crap about that so thanks america for sucking at soccer. One tight thing that we did this week was we went to a park to contact the people there. As we saw some people running, my comp and I ran up along side of them and started contacting them. We were running with our backpacks, shoes, tie and all and it was pouring rain. I have learned that to accomplish things that you have never accomplished, you have to do things you have never done. So this was one of them ha we ended up running about 2 miles that day in full on missionary gear. Then after that we put on our motab voices and started singing in the doorsteps of the people that dont accept us. Needless to say this change is going to be awesome. EVeryday here it rains and that is also sweet. It is nice to see something different that is for sure. Well family and parents I love you all. I know this chuch is true and the Spirit is our guide. I know that the Lord is my Saviour and He died for me. I am honored to bear his name on my chest and do His work. I know that He knows me and that He wants me to be happy. I have felt Him carry me through the hard times and have felt his presence. I know he suffered everything for me so that I will never be solo and I am eternally endebted to Him. I love Him and know He lives. I love you all and hope you all have a great week.
Elder Burr
