Well I don't like Ice!!!!!! Blah! :) We are so very excited for the
new families in our ward! They have truly brought a fire to the ward
that wasn't there before! And we are not done yet! We will be having yet
another baptism here in Ponca City! Dana Stone will be baptized this
Saturday! She has been prepared for quite a while! She was pretty
reserved at our first meeting but we found out that was because she has
converted and been baptized 3 or 4 other times. She felt guilty for the
"easiness" in switching churches. We helped her understand that God was
placing truth in her path and it was a preparation in her understanding
and accepting truth when presented to her! She was very understanding
and prepared to continue on her path of truth! We are so excited for
this wonderful event! She has a great support system with her fiance and
friends in the ward already! It will be a great Christmas present! We
are also working with her daughter, and she is now reading and praying
daily! She WILL be baptized in January! I'm glad Sean is instigating
Sara with missionary mindedness! I can see Sara becoming a very strong
testator of her beliefs! She has always been strong and determined with
the things she knows to be true! I love that little girl to death! I'm
not sure what this instagram is but I assume it's like facebook, If it
can be utilized for missionary work I like it! I do remember that story,
I love it! I'm glad your sacrament mtg went well, because we didn't have
one! I guess Okies are scared of a little snow and ice. It really
wasn't all that bad. But our bishop decided to cancel church :( I was
looking forward to an amazing day! We still had one, but it just wasn't
the same! Yes our Christmas conference was great! it wasn't a temple
conference because the temple was closed :( but it still was good! VERY
LONG, but good! We were there from 8:30am to 8:00 pm!
We had some amazing talented missionaries perform and entertain! Yes I
got the package sent directly to Ponca and the letters at the
conference. I wasn't sure what to do with that giant one. I guess I'll
find a spot on the wall for it! The conference was split into two days,
Friday for the southern half, and Saturday for the northern. 7pm
will work just dandy for me! I'm not sure if I have too many questions,
but I'll see if there is anything I can come up with. :) Oh so in the
package I sent home there are goodies for the munchkins so I don't know
if you want to wait for them to come over or if you just want to go
ahead and open it then give it to them when you see them... I don't
care. As long as they get it ;) So Landon did get my letter? Ok that's
good to know. I figured I would try and send him a letter monthly....
TRY..... :) Also will you let Sean know that the music restrictions that
were in place have been lifted. President Walkenhorst has changed it to
any spiritual uplifting music. Thanks you're fantastic! Well I've got a
lot of work to do with preparing for this baptism so I gotta go. I love
you all so much and I am looking forward to talking with y'all. I'll call
the home phone. I love you more!
Not a Second Wasted,
Elder Burnham!
