Perfect Pics

I loved the pics of my baptism and of Briant's haha everyone looks great! Tell Briant congrats for me! This week we only were able to have one baptism because two of them I have no idea where they went and the other one was cold Sunday morning and didn't want to go. IT WAS FREEZING COLD THIS WEEK!!!! the water in the font was like ice haha when Elder Cerpa baptized Cesar he shot out of the water and yelled haha it was pretty funny. This week was pretty crazy with all the rain and just freezing cold whether. I want my Arizona heat! This week I also had my interview with Pres Madariaga, it was all in Spanish so i still don't know if he speaks English or not I didn't ask. I'm glad everyone is doing great and I hope everyone has a great time at the cabin! I cant wait for next year when I can go. I cant write to much because we are going to go to the Expo. I pulled out about 60, I'm going to try and get everyone a little somethin. I love ya all I hope everyone is looking for opportunities to share the gospel because how great will be your joy if you can bring one soul unto Christ! Stay happy everyone para siempre dios este con vos. Elder Burr

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep!


WHAT THE LEBRON JAMES HAHAHA WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello my family! how goes everything out in big AZ? I am doing pretty good here with my boy Cerpa. Not much going on out here we are looking at 4 baptisms for this Sunday but nothing is for sure but we will keep praying that we can resolve any doubts or problems that these people have. If everyone can pray for Vanessa, Eli, Cesar, and Maricela I would be extremely grateful! I just got a letter from Miguel Elder Brown and my convert. He told me that he was called to be THE PRESIDENT IN THIS NEW AREA!! he wrote me a letter telling me thank you for finding him and teaching him and bringing him to the gospel with Brown. That is the whole reason I am out here in the mission. I know this church and that thanks to this gospel we can all live as families forever. I know that its not easy living in a world so wicked but nothing is impossible with the Lord. This week we also met the new president Madariaga. Him and his wife are great people but I was pretty bummed seeing Pres Wade and his wife leave. I know the new Pres will do great though. I hope all is well! Briant congrats on the baptism big guy!!!! ps Can you send me some lacrosse pics and a pic of me at my baptism so I can show the people here. Just scan it and send it through email.I love you all!! Stay happy and have a great week!!!! Elder Burr
