Family and friends, this week was great. It was super hard but thats to be expected. I am learning alot, and the language is coming along really well. I feel pretty confident in my Spanish and I have only been here for 15 days. I still have a ton to learn obviously but I am so excited to learn and get out in the field. I am so greatful for the oppurtunity I have to serve, and would like to thank all of those who have helped me to get to this point so far in my life. I honestly could not have done it and gotten here without the help of all of those around me. Last Sunday my companion and I got assigned to be district leaders. And just yesterday we got a new district in so thats really cool. Last Tuesday night I had the oppurtunity to hear from Elder Nash of the 70. Their are honestly too many spiritual experiences here to record. Its a pretty constant spiritual high. We have 3 investigators right now here at the MTC and two of them we have invited and commited to be baptized. So the spanish is going well and the teaching here at least is going well. The truth is, I cant wait to get out into the mission field, the MTC is great but I want to be in the field so badly. I just want to help people and teach them the gospel. The gospel if you think about it is simply divine truth. Thats why as a missionary I don't need to sell anything. I am giving people the knowledge and wisdom they need to be happy and come unto Christ. Well, I love you guys. Thanks for everything you have done for me. All the experiences I have been blessed to have with friends, family, church leaders, just everyone that has influenced my life. Until next week,
Love
Elder Burris
