Dearest Mother,
Thank you so much for the package! It truly made my day. I also
received letters from Pres. and Sis. Tolboe, and G-ma & G-pa
Burnham. This week was great! Our numbers don't show it, but it was. So
for my birthday dinner we were supposed to go over to a families home,
but Bro. Rex was sick so we just took it home. We had some
delicious enchiladas! That has been the only Mexican food Ive had out
here. Talking about that meatloaf and biscuits was not cool mom! Well
tell the Hawkins congrats for both baby and recital from me. Tell the
boys to all go on missions as well! :) Sara always does well, I don't
understand her crazy anxiety throw-downs! I'm sorry to hear about Sis.
McRae. Let her know I love and appreciate her.
So no we did not even
know about helping hands, But we raked a senior sister's backyard that
was infested with snakes and brown recluses. I thought I was going to
die!
For living prophets, you could have each of them choose a talk from
this last conference and ask them how they might be able to bring it up
while talking with a friend or friends, and challenge them to do so
then tell them you want to hear about the experience next week. This
will help them learn the doctrinal points taught by our leaders and help
them be more comfortable providing missionary work. For scripture
study, boy that might a little tougher, I actually will send home a form
we got from President Taylor about 50 questions the BOM answers so you
could make copies and ask them to answer them. For reverence you could
do an object lesson, have one of the kids start singing or talking about
sports or something, then have one of the other kids try and bear
his/her testimony. Then that can segue into bearing testimony. Are we
just reciting words we have heard others using or are we actually
sharing our beliefs with people? Is what we are saying being confirmed
by the Holy Ghost or is it just filling a time slot? If the spirit is
not there it will not pierce the heart of those who hear. The question
should be; is there anything you cant learn from President Monson about
following the Spirit?!
Well I love yall to death! Thank you for all you
do for me! I'm loving every moment out here! I know this is exactly where
my Heavenly Father wants me to be! I love this mission! I love my
comp.! I love the Lord! I love my Savior! I love my family! I love this
gospel! I have a testimony of it, and want to share it with all! We just
need to OPEN OUR MOUTHS! This is probably the biggest thing I'm working
on at this point, surprising right? Elder Burnham having an issue
talking, whoda thunk it?
Not a Second Wasted
Elder Burnham.
