well by the looks of things it sounds like Powell was an awesome family adventure. I bet it was fun and you will all be talking about it for years to come. Sounds like Matt is just trying to live the dream and the family is all just way busy. To answer your question mom I go home the 24 I think and the only thing I know is that I am flying into SLC. So pretty much we have about the same amount of information. Unless I extend my mission.. Just kidding I still havent asked the president if we are still allowed to. I cant believe that taylor mansfield is already home. That just blows my mind how fast the time is going. It seems like everyday I am trying to think of things to write to you guys! But we are working hard out here. This last week we worked hard. We have two people that hopefully get baptized this next weekend. Lupita and Jacqueline. They are both family members of some members of the church and they like the church. We will be working with them alot this week to try to get them baptized, Yesterday we found a family of five that seems pretty interested. We found them because the mom stopped her car to ask us why we always looked so happy and always had a smile. We just told her to listen to our message and she would find out for herself. so yesterday we found her in her house with her husband and her three kids. We are going with them today to teach them and see if they progress. The work here is amazing. I dont know if it is the area or what but we are having a lot of success. I love everyday out here and we work hard. I hope you and matt have fun in San Fran and that you are safe and protected. I love you mom and family Elder Burr
