By this title for this email that is how I feel. This week has been an absolute nightmare. our numbers for this week have been pathetic. This week we did about a days work for a full week!!! We get nothing done and we should have had a baptism with Alipio the guy that prayed for two messenger's to visit him when me and Brown were together I don't blame him for not wanting to be baptized we never visit him because Elder Rivera doesn't want to. Elder Rivera is pissed than ever at me and I have no idea, he just usually decides to be mad at me randomly and I usually just toon him out and listen to a different station 94.5.In other news if no one has seen batman xmen pursuit of happiness or saw 3 come on over to our house Elder Rivera will be up watching movies until 12 30 while I study my scriptures because I am scared he is going to leave our house. Right now he is using a different computer but we are supposed to watch each other to make sure we aren't on a different site. Most likey he is looking at play stations and hes saving up his money to buy one here. We have interviews with Pres. Wade Thurs so I'm pretty excited for that. Well other than that this week we killed and ate a rabbit it was really good haha also Miguel the guy Brown and I baptized is the new secretary and Gospel doctrine teacher!! How awesome is that! He recieved melchezdek priesthood Sunday as well I'm so dang happy for him he's the man! Also friday at 2 in the morning we got a call from one of our members that his wife was having her baby and he wanted us to bring milk so at 2 in the morning we walked forever to the hospital and brought the milk. She had a little boy that makes 3 more crazy kids. Other that that not to much happened this week it sure has been a good one! During the week I thought of two funny stories thatI remembered haha remember when Jared hit Karen in the head with my lacrosse ball and then after he bought her jeans haha sorry Karen it wasnt funny. All is well I love you guys and hope everything is going great dont worry about me ill be fine.PS Miguels mom is making your table clothe thing croching it I hope thats what you wanted its so pretty also I have a little book of pictures of everyone in the fam that the members and other people like to look at and they say everyone is beautiful haha you are all beautiful. also everyone wants to know if Courtney and I are twins haha.Para siempre dios este con vos!

Piri

Elder Riveras and Elder Burr
in front of the Paraguay Temple
Elder Burr riding "Lady Action!"

What up fam greetings from Paraguay the land of no rules. How is everyone doing? I am doing great the comp is still a little grumpy especially right now because he wants to use computers together but we aren't allowed so hes a little mad. You'd think he'd know the rules after being out 1 year and 7 months. He lets me know everyday about how long I have before I go home its very uplifting. Whatever though its cool I am doing great so don't worry about anything I am just trying to be a good example. I talked with Pres Wade at zone conference and he said he put me with him for a reason I guess we will find out what that is later in life? About the conference talks just magazines are great because I don't have anything to listen to , magazines are great. Also for Christmas and everything just put money in my account so I can buy you guys stuff. This week was one of the funniest in my mission we took bikes all the way out to one of our areas Cordillera 2 hour bike ride. We are supposed to have another group of missionaries out here but its just us two. Anyway my tire ended up popping and Elder Riveras chain snapped and the member we went with rode a pink bike that said lady action hahaha it ended up being the best one! He would fly by me and say lady action haha good times. Also this week I bought my temple clothes we are going the end of this month I'm so excited! Oh ya and this week we are buying a rabbit from one of our members this next week and going to eat it with another family in our ward haha the rabbit is huge! Also if you can send me a calender for Christmas that would be great because I dont have one. A crappy one is fine. Also today I bought a fanny pack haha yes that's right I'm bringing back the 90s its the new style in Paraguay. I put my camera in it and then put my shirt over it they say it is the most safe thing to do. Well gotta run I'm going to try and send a few pics. Love you all! Keep smiling because that's all I can do! Para siempre dios este con vos! Elder Big Burr

Yes, I got a new Comp!

Well this week lets just say has been a living nightmare. we had changes and I am still in Piribebuy but ElderBrown is now in Capiatan as a district leader. My new comp is Elder Riveras from El Salavador.He doesnt speak any english and doesnt want to learnLets just say he's not the most obedient and I feel likeI am a babysitter and the senior comp. Hobbies of Elder Rivera? Sitting outside on our porch in his garments during the day listening to his mp3 (50 cent) in front of everyone that walks by, sleeping for 3 hours after church while I study also sleeping in an extra hour, and taking food breaks about every 20 min. fun week right? Not! Don't get me wrong he knows how to teach and he is a super funny guy but more then 95% of the time I want to...... (you can fill in the blank of cruel things I would like to do) anyway other than that I am doing great just trying to stay positive and work likeIalways do and be a good example for him as much as I can.The language with him isnt a problem just babysitting. What can you do?Anyway there is a lady in our ward that makes those lace things for tables or whatever what color? And how big do you want it to be? how many?Let me know next monday so I can tell her. Sounds like everything back at home is good and everyone is doing great.Just about every utard knows BYU won pure luck haha. We had testimony meeting this Sunday which was pretty good and always funny haha Talk to you next week, Love you all Elder Burr
