K so we had some good times this week. We were really trying to get some people set for baptism before we leave the area or before thursday! but it was good I went out with brother Mathews and Saw Liz and her family. I feel so much for some of these families. I know that in like 5 or so years they will join the church but it doesn't look as if its going to happen with them. I seriously love the people in my area. they are hard but i love them. Elder Pearson gave an Incredible talk the other day in the Area training and he said something that I really needed " I have the faith to serve but not the faith to succeed". they in went on about what to do to improve our faith to succeed. Some time later in my life I know that there are some people here that will Remember me and Elder Burns!
We have been working hard with the Katoa family. There a less Active family in the church in my area and i guess MY Mission President went and saw them! We went their yesterday and right when we got there she sat us down and just started feeding us. SHE WOULDN'T STOP GIVING US FOOD!! She would get mad at us if we stop and while we were eating she was saying what she is going to do to get her family back to church, she also doesn't want us to leave. Their one of the families that im glad i got to help get back on track!
I spoke in church yesterday about the Sacrament! I thought it was really good and the ward did also! seriously the ward loves me and Elder Burns, its a great ward, that's probably the biggest thing ill miss if i get transferred. I spoke mostly on the word Remember, and just talk about it, gave personal experiences. Talking and teaching is pretty easy now.
MOM THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE MUSIC I LOVE YOU!!!!
And ya Sister Matthews took us to mexicali it was Awesome! I love the Matthews! there a great family! When me and Brother Matthews went to go see Liz, after the visit he told me that the most successful missionaries are the missionaries who are themselves!
Anther cool thing that happened this week was an experience with president! during one of the training he popped in and sat by us and shared some awesome tips on teaching!
Here are some pics for the week! But Im really missing my little bro! Bridge im thinking about you a lot and hoping everything is going good! im coming up on my 5 month mark hopefully the next few transfers will be a little different.
Whats been going on with the family? guys i need more info? hows plowing how papa? how are the other missionaries? Dad did you go out with them yet? Who is the last person the family has Rescued?
