Hello Family and friends, everything is going great here in Dangriga!
First off, Xiomarra was confirmed this week, which is awesome. She is so excited and so happy to learn more about the gospel. This week we did a lot of traveling, we had a multi zone with all the missionaries with our mission president which was really cool. It is always great to see everybody. Then we also had our normal routine interviews with President and we had to travel again for that, so it was a lot of traveling this week. But this next week there should be less traveling going on so that is good.
The coolest thing that happened this week was Xiomara's comfirmation, but the second coolest thing would have to be the meeting last night we had with the branch president. It was really cool because we thought about the members here and decided on a lot of callings that we are going to be giving out to members to strengthen the branch. We saw that most of the members that have callings are active, so if we give callings to recent converts and some of these members that sometimes come and sometimes not we are going to have more active members. So this week and next week we are going to be taking care of all that. It should really help to strengthen the branch I am very excited.
Well, here we are really looking for new people who want to listen to the gospel. We have had success, and now we need to look for some more success. We are focusing strongly on finding new poeple to teach. I am so greatful for this oppurtunity I have to be a missionary and to help Gods children come unto Him.
I am living in a different world right now. I feel like time is just flying by and my mind set and who I am is totally different. Even my name is different. Its a pretty unique experience to be a missionary. I love sharing the gospel and pray that all of you back home keep regurarly attending church and living the gospel so that you may have increased joy and happiness in your life.
with much love,
Elder Burris
