Ohhh man it was atiring week. I can´t believe it´s already time to email again. The week seemed like it just upped and bounced on me without waving. Last monday we had some of the zone leaders come to the office pench to be a little closer for the training meeting we had on tuesday. I got to see Elder Huntington again which was great and I found out that one of the ladies that we were teaching together, Lily, was baptized last weekend! Even though I wasn´t there to see it, I was still really excited to hear the great news. On Tuesday we had the zone leaders all up for a consejo that pretty much lasted all day long. Elder Harvey, Leal and I talked a lot about goals in our lives and the importance that they have for us. We also showed a great movie from mormon ads about a P51 pilot and his experience in the airplane. He talked a lot about not getting vertigo and the importance of following the wing of your companion. He also talked about the rules and commandments in life are like your instruments inside the airplane. If you are true to them and trust them, you will always be able to stay oriented. It was a great teaching device and the missionaries got excited after seeing it. We also put, as a goal in the mission, 125 baptisms in the month of september. We are all really excited to reach it and the mission is being blessed so much right now. On wednesday we had a training capacitacion with all the zone leaders and the district leaders and Elder Harvey and I were able to talk about the doctrine of Christ. It was great to be with all of them, but it was also great to see them all leave and go to work. After them, we had a meeting with all the trainers and their companions. It was basically to see how they were doing and how their new companions are becoming accustomed to this place. President Avila worries about them a lot and wants to see all the missionaries succeed in their callings. We then had pretty much the whole weekend to work in our area, which was an awesome time to practice what we had taught. We committed two people to baptism for this saturday and 2 more for the saturday to come. God is blessing us so much in our area and it is such a great blessing. Today we woke up and Elder Harvey, Elder Roché, Elder Leal, Elder Ostler, Elder Boisados and I all ran a 5k race. It was great to get out and get tired ha ha. It felt awesome.
This week we have some new elders coming in so we will be doing all the preparatives for them which means for the next few days we will be pretty busy. I will send some pictures next week with some people dressed in white!! I love you all and hope you have a fantastic week!
Elder Burr
