Hey mom, Sounds like everything there is going really well. The family is all together and everybody is having fun. I am pretty sure that those experiences are about the only ones that I miss. Honestly. I never realized how good I felt being surrounded by my family. I loved it and will love it once I am back in the mix. Sounds like Matt got met on the first date situation. Its alright though, if she wasnt going to progress towards an eternal marriage, it is always better to just drop her. That is one thing learned in the mission. I am proud or him. As for this past week... the weather just got hotter. It was supposed to rain but I think the rain just saw me and forgot to get me wet. It just said that I had enough sweat on my face and I didnt need it. So it just moved right on by. It has only gotten hotter haha. My new companion is Elder Rivera. When I was in Estancia I lived with him for two changes and he is a good kid. He works hard and is willing to learn so that is good. We are still zone leaders here in Santiago. We were able to finally baptize Viridiana this last week which was awesome. She had some challenges in the week but in the end she ended up making a covenant with God. I was able to baptize her and I tell you what, baptizing never gets old. Now we just have to focus on getting the other people we are teaching in the pila bautismal. It will be a great challenge. I have been here for about three months now and yes mother I only have 2 changes left. It is unreal to think about... That is why I hardly think about it ha. But I have a lot of time left to just put my head down and go to work so I am excited. I love what I am doing and I have seen many changes in my life which is incredible. I am happy and have realized this is the best choice I have ever made. Thank you all for putting up with me before the mission. You are all the best. Ps Happy birthday adam, ben, shea, cam, coop, lucy,Nixon, and everybody else that had their birthday in this month. You are all awesome! Well im out... talk to you next week. Love you all Elder Burr
