Marc's email 2/20/2012

Just Grandpa Burr checkin in from Xalisco. All is well here on my end.
Mom I already got the package, I think. It was a package full of
candy, garments and pants? Good thing they got here when they did
because my pants are about done. They are paper thin and have holes in
the back. So good thing I got a few new pairs. Thanks mom. Also that
is sad about the deaths of the people that have died. The good thing
is that death is not the end. Thanks to the amazing plan of salvation
we will see our family members after this life. And what is up with
Brandon and his wife going bowling?? They just got married and Brandon
wanted to bowl? Unless there was a bowling alley in their hotel room
that sounds like the most stupid idea. I bet you are all worn out
after playing with the grandkids all day every day. I miss those kids
alot. the kids here just dont quite match up. The kids here play with
trompos, swear words and fighting cocks. Yes the rooster fights. This
week was a successful week. On monday we found a family of 6 that we
are hoping to baptize this weekend. I will need your prayers to make
that happen. They all went to church yesterday and they seem to be
pretty excited for their baptism. We found them in the boonies living
with a less active. Turns out the less active didnt go to church but
the people that arent members went. Members here are lame at times but
its all good. We also had a zone conference on tuesday that was really
good. We talked about how the mission work is better with members and
how to work better with the members. We have been working with them
alot this week and hope to see results this week. Oh tight story. We
hauled all of our investigators to church in a motor home of a
neighbor that is not member and wants nothing to do with us. I learned
in that moment that the Lord will always prepare the way so we can
accomplish what He has commanded us. It was an awesome answer to the
prayers of a few humble servants of the Lord. Well other that that
this week has just been another one out here on the mission. I love
every second of it. Cant believe I am almost 21... Just gotta sit it
out or something because that blows my mind. I love you all and hope
you have a great week and a great ash wednesday. It you want a
catholic to put a cross on your forehead with the ashes of burned
stuff feel free to come down here to mexico! Keep on keepin on and
stuff.
Elder Burr
