Holy Cow!

WOW WOW WOW WOW. TOTALLY UNEXPECTED!! So you are probably wondering why I am writing on Saturday and not Monday. Well let me explain no I'm not being punished but yet I kind of feel like it. I got a delightful call Monday night from President Madariaga informing me that I will be the new assistant. I feel super weird being here because it is something I would have never imagined. Its crazy being in here. We travel a ton and ya its insane. We have alot of privileges though haha such as. I will be getting my Paraguayan license so that I can start driving the van and Presidents car haha however the van is stick drive and ya Ill have to learn on the streets of Paraguay haha it should feel alot like need for speed or grand theft auto I feel like. Also our house is a mansion, and in every room we have AC let me put that again AC!! Also we live all together in the same mansion so there are now 8 of us the assistants and the office elders. haha I feel so spoiled but however I'm not done yet.We also have our own washer and drier and also a lady that cleans our house and that cooks our lunch and I'm talking gecko grill kind of food!! The only bummer is that we don't work very much in our own area because we are always traveling, across Paraguay to check on missionary's and to help them out. Its cool though because president and his wife have alot of trust in me and ya that's comforting because I don't feel that I am capable of being here. As I've said before I was never even adeacons quorum secretary. All I know is that I am going to work hard and just try and keep up with what all is going on. All I know is that when I was a ZL I thought I was tired, now I am dead tired but hey what can you do. I was super bummed to leave Elder Manu though we had a great time and I was ableto leave there with a bang. we baptized Juan Carlos Tuesday night so that was great! Also another crazy thing! So my comp was supposed to be an Elder from Argentina named Elder Lombardo. I was with him for a day and then out of know where President tells him he will be leaving and that Elder Lucas my old comp will be with me haha its insane! Elder Lucas ended up hurting his knee so he had to stay in the office and do like paper work for a few weeks but now we will be comps as assistants haha not much else going on, yes mother dear I got your calender and I loved it haha also I got Rush and Carley's family picture hahaha it was hilarious! Also one more thing I really wanted to fly to Miami and Brazil when I came home so I suggested it and ya I think theyagreed but the flight agent lady said that I wouldn't be able to because the rest of my group goes to Argentina and then Texas. I'm not sure if you got those flight plans or not haha you will have to let me know. If its the flight plans to Brazil and Miami its not correct haha. I just wanted to go to Miami so that I could sing will smith " welcome to Miami" I hope all is well at home. I love you guys,and I'm praying for you! take it easy and be happy! LATER! ELDER BURR! MY PDAYS ARE NOW ON SATURDAYS SO DON'T FORGET TO WRITE BEFORE! PS Elder Roeller is a way cool missionary he was in my last zone. tell his mom she has a great son!
