Happy DL

I am a happy district leader!!!!!!!! haha. One of the elders out of the struggling companionship has been transferred and the new elder is meshing with his companion perfectly! They are having all sorts of miracles! I feel a huge weight lifted off my shoulders let me tell ya! I had an interview with President Walkenhorst and we talked about the struggling companionship and what the Lord wanted me to focus on them and let Him take care of our area. Holy cow, that's exactly what I needed to hear. I was so down and out about my area tanking. Now that this "trial" is over I see how the Lord has taken care of my area. We are having referrals left and right and former investigators want to start the lessons again! It is such a remarkable thing to see miracles happen right in front of your face! I love relying on the Lord! This Friday we are having a mission tour conference, and Elder Cardon of the 70 is coming. This should be a great conference. I want to hear from Sean! That punk hasn't written in me in like 5 months! What the heck! I'm part of the family too! You don't leave your little bro out of the loop! He will bring some thunder you don't want! I'm glad you had a great time in the choir ordeal. So I have gotten the ward on board to do the secret Santa thing we did back home with the ornaments with descriptions of needy people ex. 5 year old boy toy. We have a fake tree in our apartment that's been up year round so we are going to donate that to the foyer for this season. I feel good about this project. I also asked a bunch of people if we could have their rake and go around and use raking as a finding method. Offer to rake a yard for free then ask if they have ever met missionaries before. I think it will be positive. So this ones for Dad; is there going to be a jiffy lube turkey bowl this year? So just thought I would stick a bug in the air; GPS's just got approved. I love ties. A sweet CTR ring. Oh and music just got limited to Mormon artists, MoTab, and Classical. Hey did y'all receive an email from President Walkenhorst regarding Christmas? Other elders say their parents did. I'm glad the package brought a smile to your face. That's my favorite thing to do! Well I'm excited for this season. It gives us great reason to talk about our blessings and Christ! Wait that's what all our messages are about! Whoda thunk! I love y'all! A letter with all my thankfulness is headed your way. 

Not a Second Wasted,

Elder Burnham 

P.S. I came up with a pretty good top ramen recipe. Take the Chili flavored ramen cook it, drain all the water, then add the flavor packet, then add 4-5 tablespoons of alfredo sauce. It's actually pretty good. Try it!
