Mom don't you fret, we are protected out here by a pretty powerful source. This week was a little more tranquilo. First of all it sounds like everything back home is just rollin right along. Everybody is happy and Matt is just sittin it out trying to get some chicks. Poor man, his canteen has probably desintegrated. That makes two of us I guess. Its alrigh,t he is a good guy. Charlotte sounds like she is falling into the tight little girl ranks saying sup dog. How are cam and coop? Sounds like coop and I are going to have to have some bonding one on one time. Its good though I am stoked for it. I hope you all enjoy your trip to DC. It will be good for you all to see ben and olivia and kids. So a little bit about our week here. We have several people that we are teaching that have all accepted baptism. Maria Guadalupe should be getting married this week and baptized. Gladys should also be getting married and baptized. Saíd also was able to go to church again this weekend and he has a baptismal date for this weekend so he should also get baptized. I was waiting for our peeps to show up to church when a girl showed up that elder Mangum and I were teaching like a month ago. She showed up with a Young Womens medalion necklace thing and told us her dad had given her permission and she wanted to get baptized this weekend. We also have Giovana who told us she was going to leave her husband and get baptized a soon as possible. If you havent realized almost every single person has problems with their husbands and are not married...... Such a frustrating thing to have to deal with. Especially when the husbands dont want much to do with the Gospel. But everything seems to be going well. I dont know how. God has just heard the prayers of two of His servants and has blessed us abundantly. I know He lives and He is with Elder Johnson and I. Every day I feel my relationship with Him grow stronger and stronger. I feel that I walk by His side everyday. It is an amazing feeling that comes after much prayer, meditation, fasting etc. but is is very worth it! I love Him. I know Him. That is the greatest thing I have ever accomplished in my life, coming to know my Heavenly Father. I hope you are all on the quest as well. There is nothing more important that you can do. I love you all and wish the best for you this week. I'm out Elder Burr
