Whats up family!

Wellllll not to much pretty going on here in the PJC but my comp and I were able to finally get dear sweet Sully confirmed and we will be helping her and her hubby get ready for the temple in one year. This week we have been really working alot with our awesome brazilian family and helping them getting ready to be baptized. They are amazing wonderful people and it is just so amazing to me how the Spirit can touch peoples lives and how the people can give up things they are so used to doing like drinking and smoking. I'm lovin this work and as hard and stressful as it is I couldnt ask for anything else. We are really trying to get the members involved but they are just not having it. We did however find the coolest members from Brazil that live in our area and the husband Juliano served his mission in Brazil. He has gone out with us just about everyday to work so we will see what will happen. I loved the story about Riley and Brennan it was incredible how they both did that and it made me extremely happy hearing that. Sorry J didnt write to much I want to send a bunch of pics. Love ya lots pray for our area and that their hearts will be softened. ps changes are tomorrow and I have no idea what is going to happen. love Elder Burr

Water Falls in Paraguay

HEY FAM how goes it! Not to much going on here just chillin like a villain on my pday! We just barely got back from this place where we went and saw a waterfall as a zone which was pretty rad, and then we hit up shopping china and had a little BK! This week my comp and I have been really working hard trying to contact houses and find new people. Don't get me wrong I love the Paraguayan people but alot of them are liars and ya they say they will go to church and then Sunday morning you go to talk to them and they aren't there. I swear when I get home I'm going to think everyone is lying to me ha ha I really cant stand liars now. Any who my comp and I have been teaching more in portg. more than Spanish because we are teaching this Brazilian fam that don't speak any Spanish at all! We showed them the restoration vid of Joseph Smith in portg and they loved it! They also went with us to church yesterday which was a blessing and truly only came to us through our fasting and prayer! I hope all is well at home and everyone is doing great! Love you all chauuuuu Elder Burr para siempre dios este con vos

Cool fact about my comp he is a great uncle hahaha his niece had a baby!! I laugh everyday about his storys of how his family is like the one from the RM.

Sully got baptized!!!!!!!!

HELLO YOU BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE! WHY IS ELDER BURR SO HAPPY? BECAUSE SULLY GOT BAPTIZED!!!!!! thank you so much for your prayers and support, it was an amazing baptism, her boyfriend and our ward mission leader was able to baptize her and my comp and I will be able to go to the temple with them in ONE YEAR! How cool is that! Any who it was really great and spiritual just like every baptism. Not to much going on here just working like crazy here in PJC, my comp and I are looking at another baptism this week, her name is Jessica and she is a friend of a member who is 15. We had a cool experience with her the other day because we went to her house and my comp and I felt like we need to share the word of wisdom with her. Later that day she was invited to drink and smoke and she told us that if we hadn't have taught her that she would have drank and smoke. Its little miracles and situations like that you know that Christ exists and that he is always there. I'm loving it out here and I am living the dream!! I hope all is splendid at home! 11 months today I hit by the way! One more month. any who Hope all is well love you all stay pretty. TOODLES! para siempre dios este con vos. PS DON'T SEND MORE PACKAGES I REALLY DON'T NEED ANYTHING! CHAUU! ELDER BURR

Ello Poppet

What up family! Well right now my comp and I just got back from playing soccer and from shopping china. I bought a pull up bar haha its sweet. Anywho at SC the Brazilian missionaries were there and we were talking to them, I asked to see what there numbers and goals were for the week and I was shocked out of my mind to see that they have dinner appointments and a nap time!!!! What is this! Also they do 70 contacts evey week and we do 200! Haha wow it was crazy but ya anywho this week was ok my comp and i are working like crazy with alot of rain going on its pretty bad. We talked to Sulie and she looks good for this Sunday and possibly another girl named Jessica but we shall see . I hope all is well and grand. oh ya tell the Andes I got there package I LOVED IT I WAS DYING FOR THAT KIND OF FOOD! Also I took a little bit of money out, and I still have the nativity set at my house but its going to be a little hard to send. Love ya all! toodles para siempre dios este con vos! Elder Burr

What up family well I'm rockin the new myldsmail so I hope it all works we all know how great I am at the one finger typing. Anywho this week was insane. Long story short Elder Rosales and I left for Asuncion Sunday night and got there at 5 in Asuncion where we slept in the office. Monday we sat in the office and then went to a few clinics where they did like a milion tests to him while I sat there sticking q tips up my nose like a wallris or however you spell it. After that we went back to the office and spent the night. The next day we went to the huge bautista hospital in Asuncion and they did a face scan on Rosales, then we went back to the allergies clinic and they said that Rosales was perfectly fine? Then after that we went to the office and the new missioaries showed up and there wasnt room for us so Rosales and I slept in this HUGE HOTEL haha it was insane I'll send some pics. After that we got our trnsfers and I am still here in PJC but Rosales is in the office as a office elder but most likely he will go home. Pretty insane my comp is an American finally named Elder Peterson from Utah, he was in my district my second change so I know him really well hes one of my really good friends so I am pretty happy about that. Also Sulie never got baptized because we didnt have water in our font because our president decided not to pay the water bill? And here when you dont pay they just rip out the pipes from the ground. After cleaning out the font by HAND AND BUCKETS we realized that there was no water so we called the fire fighters to come and fill up the font but long story short they never came. It was extremely depressing because we terminated every problem and at the last min the fire fighters never showed up. I'm thinking about saying there is a fire at the Mormon church and then maybe they will show up. Also I got called up to be district leader so I'm even more stressed but its all good I can handle it. I hope all is well Ilove you guys! para siempre dios este con vos. Elder Burr
