Marc's email 3/26/2012

Well just checkin in from another great week of missionary service.
This week has been rather interesting to say the least. Just let me break it down a little bit. So the branch that I am serving in is not a very consistant branch. Some weeks we have like 90 people in church and other weeks we have like 20. We have always brought investigators to church so that ups the attendance a little bit. So this week was one of those weeks where there were only like 20 people in church and I was able to give a talk on the Sabbath Day. Probably the number one most broken commandment here in mexico so I had to just lay out some doctrine and tell them that is is not allowed to buy your hot tortillas or chiles on sunday. Needless to say that after church we saw several members go to the store ha. Oh well hopefully the Lord has mercy on them. Also we were able to put another movie in the plaza which was awesome. We passed The Testaments and it was an awesome turn out. We had several people there, many of them were crying after seeing the Living Christ come here to the Americas. We were able to get some directions. Also we had an investigator show up to church named Luis Arturo. he showed up with some tats and sick diamond earrings. He expressed his desire to change so we will be going with him tomorrow. Also Ivan and Gladys are going to get married and baptized this weekend along with Maria Guadalupe. Should be an awesome week. This week I have learned a ton as I have been reading in the book of 3 Nephi about the visit that Christ made to this continent. It truly was a miracle, one that I would have loved to witness. With conference coming up so quick I am pretty stoked to here from the Prophets voice. We just got informed that if we dont have investigators there we wont be able to watch it so it looks like we gotta hit the streets in the search of the escogidos. I love you all and hope everything is going well on the home front. Keep it real!
Elder Burr
