WHATS SHAKIN BACON! hahahe Oh I kill myself with my jokes I'll just quit while im ahead. Well this week was fantastic! We had the baptism of a Joven named Victor. It was great and it was awesome to bring our inv and show them what a baptism looks like and feels like. Right now we are teaching a kid named Carlos,or Bicho as we call him haha. Heres a little background on him, he is a 13 year old kid who was living in a parking lot bathroom for a year and a half. Then he got kicked out and started living on the street, after that one of our members found him and he is living with him working with him all day. He doesnt speak alot of spanish but speaks alot more Guarni. Also he has no idea where his parents are or his brothers and sisters. We have been teaching him lately but its been difficult because we have to teach him slow and simple. That was when my primary days came in hand and we started teaching with pictures and actions of how it was when Christ came to the Americas haha he ended up going to church which was awesome as well. We have had alot of support from the members this week and they have gone out and worked with us everyday this past week. Also this week I taught piano and wanted to kill myself haha we had some inv go though which was alot of success! Not much else going on here in Paraguay besides its raining like crazy and I have no idea when its planning on letting up. Also I sent the other nativity set with a cd of pics like I did that one time. One of the cds is nothing and the other is of the pics I didnt know which was which so I sent them both haha hope all is well enjoy the heat because I AM FREEZING HAHA ps if you would like to send me something I wouldnt mind an ab roller haha no I'm not kidding. toodles Elder Burr

Dumb Duncan!!

Of course the spurs couldn't lose without throwing Nash into the scores table or giving him a black eye. They should have started playing start spreading the news like the dbacks did when they beat the Yankees. Well not to much news going on yes we got changes and Elder Sperry and I are staying and again I am the district leader over Elder Villalon and his new comp Elder Shirk from UT. This week was pretty insane with all of the rain and drunks out for Mothers Day because here Mothers day is the 15 of May. I loved the pics you all sent it was great seeing everyone and Mason is so tall! haha This last change and going into this change has been tough. I feel like every time we find someone to teach they are gold and incredible and then the next day they have moved or dont want to talk to us or whatever other Paraguayan reason they have. I know the Lord has people out there for us and it depends on our willingness and diligence to go out working in the rain and having a good attitude. I know maybe right now it seems like the area is dead but I know this is a growing experience for me and I just need to give it 10 more percent of the 100 I'm giving. I hope everyone is doing great at home and that they are always looking for opportunities to help the missionaries or talk to a neighbor like mom and the Mexican guy hahaha I love you all please pray for the people here and especially for the members in Salados and pray that they will have inspiration on people that we can go visit and bring to church. Love ya´ll alot deuces! Elder Burr
