HOLY INFIERNO ITS SO DANG HOT HERE! its getting pretty toasty here so as you all no its beginning to look alot like Christmas sweating from head to toe. Its so crazy you take a shower and write when the water is turned off you are sweating haha kind of insane but hey it beats being cold so I cant complain. My comp and I just got done playing a mean march madness tournament with the zone it was sick! My comp and I were the phoenix mercury I was Diana Turasi. It was pretty dang hot playing but it was worth it. Every Monday wed. and Friday we go running to our church and then we play two on two basketball against Elder Roeller and Anderson its a great time. I am having a blast with my comp and he for sure is one of my favorite comps! He is teaching me how to do the Hakka haha its pretty nuts. This week was pretty good for us, so I cant complain, we were able to take 7 to church and tomorrow we are planning on have a hay down or a hootenanny as I like to call them. Blas and Liz are planning on getting baptized and married tomorrow afternoon. Please pray for them and pray that Blas doesn't relapse with his cigarettes. They are doing so dang well though!! I love visiting them they are sooooooooooo poor but they are the humblest people. The other day I took some winter clothes that I don't use over to their house. They collect plastic for a living and all the stuff that they wear is what they have found on the street its crazy. But yesterday they totally caught us by surprise! We are so used to them going to church in basketball shorts and with sandals but yesterday Liz went with a dress and Blas went with a white shirt and tie! What a blessing! I am so happy with them! Its so crazy because after so much time in my mission I have finally realized how to have alot of success. If you can get you investigators to realize of the blessings that they receive for keep their commitments they will agree to any commit like baptism. All is well with Elder Burr said my love to everyone! haha funny story at church. So yesterday we brought good old Nini again to church haha its always super hectic trying to get her to church because she cant walk at all haha but she was telling us about how her water line got cut and how she hasn't showered in 2 weeks haha its was pretty....... interesting I guess would be the only word I could say. but then when I got to church the president of the branch gave me the gospel doctrine manual to teach out of no where haha it went well but the funny part is before that my comp and i were helping nini get to relief society and I was kind of pushing her to make her go faster and she yells at me and says I cant walk you need to be patient hahaha in front of all the women. I felt pretty dumb but oh well. She is an extremely grumpy lady but she loves when we visit so its a little weird. So a note of advice before I bounce be patient. I love you all have a great Christmas everyone and don't forget the true meaning. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT1 later! Elder Burr
