This week has been wonderful! I haven't seen the branch participate
in missionary work so much as I experienced this week! We got a
whopping 3 members with us! That is soooo awesome for out here! We saw
some great miracles! One that ill just kind of share is about a man
named Robert. We knocked some doors, and weren't having much success
until we came across a gold mine!!!!!! TRAILER PARK!!!! It was great, we
grabbed a bunch of potentials. Robert and his family being a few. Well
we returned and taught the Restoration and it went superb! He told us
that he had really not been very active in any church since his move
from Texas, but that he knew we were sent of God to put him back on the
right path! It was amazing! Even with Conan the barbarian on in the
background we all felt the spirit! He wants to keep meeting with us and
is all for reading the Book of Mormon! He wasn't too excited when we
brought up baptism, but "Resistance is Futile!" I'm real excited to work
with him and his family! His wife and son were both involved in the
lesson so we are just pumped for them and for what lies in store for
them! So the Google Maps car was doing its route while we were out
tracting, so you might be able to see Elder Kenison and I on Walnut st.
in Pauls Valley :) So I received the biggest wake-up call thus far! A 77
year old potential told Elder Kenison while we were on exchanges that
every time she sees me she just wants to poke me in the belly! I WAS
CALLED THE PILLSBERRY DOUGH-BOY! NOT COOL!!!!! Well needless to say, we
have done a lot more biking, and my personal exercise has picked up! :(
Well I'm super glad to hear Sara is doing H2O Polo! I think she could
be super good at that! Jenni can be here personal trainer! I don't know
if I have a message for the family besides I love them all to death!
Don't get into trouble and if they ever see missionaries offer them
something to drink! Its dadgum hot! As for the memory, its more of for
the home than the individual. I remember spending the night at grandma
and grandpa's and all day long I was either at the park digging for
those weird sand bees, or I sneaking grandpa's Vienna Sausages, or I was
climbing the big tree out back. I remember falling out of that tree
from like 15 feet up and running inside afraid to tell anyone because I
thought I would get into trouble, silly, but I was dead afraid I would
get chewed out for climbing the tree and falling out of it!!! Well
That's really all I've got for y'all this week! Have a wonderful
reunion! Don't forget to look for those fields pies if they have 'em
there. I love y'all so much! Y'all are always in my prayers! Oh mom, how
did the writing to the Presidents go? And nope just those stamps. I've
got like 10 letter sitting in envelopes waiting for stamps :) I love
you.
Not a Second Wasted,
Elder Burnham (B2)
