Corner Pocket

How goes it! Well well crazy news down here in the dirty south. We had our zone leader meeting in the morning and I was told that I will be a zone leader still in Zeballos but I will be training a greenie at the same time haha it is going to be tough because there are all Americans coming in and I am going to be doing all of the teaching and giving all of the meetings in my zone and getting every ones numbers every night haha it will be a little bit of a hassle but I'm up for the challenge. I know that the Lord will hear and answer my prayers if I come to him, and boy will I need my prayers answered haha. Any who other than that good stuff I'm doing well and I'm feeling fatter which is pretty cool, I've always been a twig so now I'm getting some meat to back up my guns just kidding but seriously ha. This week was pretty nuts, on wed night I went to a place called San Jorge to do a division with an elder named Elder Chatalein. While doing contacts I felt impressed to contact a certain house. As we arrived to the door a younger lady came out and welcomed us in her home. While preparing to sing her a Christmas song she called her grandma and her aunt to listen to us. We ended up finding out that the aunt had Parkinson disease. During the song and the prayer this lady was yelling and calling us liars haha it was pretty spiritual as you can imagine. Then we began teaching about the book of Mormon and again she began yelling. The girl then asked us if there was anything we could do for her aunt. We then asked her what exactly was wrong with her. She then began to tell me the craziest story about how her and a few other ladies were doing like an open casket thing and they were dancing around the baby chanting stuff . She then went on to tell us that the ladies then left and that the aunt of this girl sat there staring at the baby, and while she was staring at the baby, the baby smiled and she fell down as if she were dead.! After explaining about the priesthood and about giving blessing we gave her a blessing and I began to say that if there was a devil it had to leave her alone. It was insane! the next day Elder Chatalein said that she had been doing alot better and that she had been recuperating ! what a miracle! It was so incredible to be able to have an experience like that and to be able to see the faith of this family and for them to believe that their family member would do better. then later that night when I got back to my area I was telling my comp about the story and while I was telling the story our lights started to flicker on and off and then out of no where the lights went out hahaha I ALMOST PEEPED MY PANTS! Any who that night we had to sleep on our ruff because it was an oven in our house. We got bit by like a million mosquitoes that night. Other than that it was a pretty great week! about the whole Christmas call, I still haven't got any info but they should give it to us in a week or two. Also about the scriptures I wanted you to take the pics of them because I want to make you a scripture case like I did. Dad do you want one as well? They are pretty cheap and I want to get you guys something for Christmas, but I'm not sure if I will send them home because its a little expensive. Just let me know what is both of your guys favorite pictures of anything of the church and like a favorite scripture or something. The guy that does the cases can carve pictures of like the second coming and stuff like that. Just let me know by next week so that he can get started! PS I got the testaments and I wanted to send it to you guys for Christmas. Do we own it? I hope all is well I loved the pictures! It looks like everyone is looking beautiful. Stay happy and please keeping praying for my area! Love you guys peace! Elder Burr
