What a crazy crazy week :) I
absolutely love the missionary life :) Elder Hernandez calls me Elder Cain because of my hairy arms
and the little kids think its teh coolest strangest thing ever and always touch
it and stuff kinda funny :) and i am getting way chunky! tehe. In serious i am
chubby now :) after meals with members, when we have tyhem :) i have to loosen
my belt and unbutton my pants :) Other cool thing is remember mom when
was reading the church news and i told you how they were making that new
stake in lima....im serving in it :) way cool and its kinda cool and
historically because its the 100th stake in peru! Santa Patricia.
Jon you are not going
to believe this....i saw and hugged Presidente Mora! I wanted to take a picture
but i didnt havbe my camera! He told me yo uneeded to write him especially
because he didnt know you were married!alejandro.mora@ldschurch.org I think thats what he told me. Pretty
cool.
I'm loving here. I've
had a couple really cool experiences. So i can't remember if i told you this but
one day i was a little bummed because we had nobody, hardly anybody wants to
hear the gospel in san borja and nobody in their houses or anything and i asked
elder hernandez where all the chosen people? where are the people the lord has
promised? the field seems so green green green i see no white. But the lord has
promised us that it would white. The next day we were walking and a jovencito
of 12 years asked us who were who we represent the whole shabang. He came to
church with us this sunday and everything :) golden. Yesterday a different guy showed up a
church and said he wanted to get to know the church a little better and he is
pretty much a member he just needs to be baptized! But this week we are gonna
work hard. Also i had the opportunity to go on divisions with an ap :) kinda
strange but because there was a missionary choir thing and i couldn't do it
cause i'm a nuevo and he didn't want to do it so he was my comp. It was way
cool! He is from chile and has red hair :) but i learned a ton and i
participated in a leccion with a family and it was glorious! :) i could speak the
language and share scriptures and everything! I felt the spirit so so so strong
:) It was amazing!
Thanks for the
pictures janae :) loved them! Sounds and looks like you guys had a blast
:)
Mom tell my friends to
shoot me an email about their mission calls....or wedding announcments.
Whichever comes first. tehe :)
Sure miss you guys and
hope the christmas season finds you well! I miss eggnog :) tehe.
And i have homework
for everyone or for fhe. Read dyc 38:40-42 and marcus 2-1-12 and find the
connection about member missionary work. Here in the mission we have a couple
dealios of the mission. First the missionary objetivo of course but this is our
motto in english :) In the mission peru lima east we baptize and confirm
converso weekly, and to acheive this we have some punts that we recite every
morning and one of them is to work with members and liders. I know this is were
the true work is and the lasting work and lasting conversos. A rule we have
that is kinda cool in the mission is every day every minute todo el tiemp we
have our book of mormon in our hand. ALWAYS. The mission gave us forros and its
el maximo :)
Hurrah for Israel
with love
Elder Burrup
