Hey Family and Friends, this week was a great week! There are 2 main things I want to talk about today
1 is that Edgar Sainsbury came to church in a suit this Sunday to get confirmed! And then he stayed for all 3 hours! That was a huge pay off moment for me. I felt very happy and accomplished as a missionary. He is 91 and is setting a great example for all of us. He is a champ. I love him so much. Edgar for me is a great example of faith in action. He has faith and desire to follow God and so he does it. He does it by coming to church and giving his best to the Lord.
2 Is that about a month ago me and my companion started visiting a family where none of them are members. We have been teaching them every week since then. We have taught them about the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the book of Mormon, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We have been inviting them for this past month to come to church and they haven't been able to make it yet, but then yesterday the 4 kids came to church! It was super awesome. Its a family of 6. It was a huge pay off moment to see 4 out of the 6 members of this family come to church. We hope to see the whole family in church this next Sunday.
3 Something else cool that happened yesterday is we ate fried fish and fry jacks with an investigator named Heidi. She speaks English spanish krail and gariffina. She prefers to speak spanish. Alot of time she mixes spanish and gariffina its really cool to listen to. Really unique experiences happen here in Belize. This place really is something else.
Anyway, I love you all. That is a little bit about my week. I promise to send pictures this next week. Thanks for all of you who love and support me. Special thanks to my family. You guys are amazing thanks for all your support.
With love,
Elder Burris
