This week has been awesome thank you so much for putting my name in the temple we have been greatly blessed with miracles. This week we had 4 people at church who are all progressing towards baptism richmond area is really starting to take off with me and elder bryners companionship. we are finding really good people we had a family that we are teaching at church just yesterday... Because its monday here. Its amazing what bringing a family to church does for the ward. Everyone is so excited and the ward is just taking off were getting heaps of referrals because we have been working tons with members. BUT NOW I HAVE TO TELL YOU ABOUT A STORY THAT IS GOING TO GET ME INTO THE ENSIGN...LOL MAYBE... SO LAST MONDAY NIGHT ME AND ELDER BRYNER WERE PLANNING FOR TUESDAY AND WE FELT THE NEED TO DO STREET CONTACTING FOR 3 HOURS IN THE MORNING SO WE STARTED THE MORNING WALKING AROUND TALKING TO PEOPLE AND EVERYONE WAS TRYING TO BASH WITH US AND TAKE OUR BELIEF AWAY. SO IN ALL THESE STRUGGLES ELDER BRYNER TURNED TO ME AND SAID "YOU KNOW ELDER BURNS WHEN SO MUCH BAD IS HAPPENING SOMETHING GOOD IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN" SO WE KEPT WALKING AND WE WALKED BY SOME SHOPS AND WE SAW THAT COKE WAS ON SALE FOR 1$ A CAN WICH IS REALLY CHEAP HERE IT WAS A MIRACLE!!!!
SO WE TOOK A SHORT COKE BREAK IT WAS GREAT THIS 90 YEAR OLD MAN TRIED TO BASH WITH US IT WAS AWESOME.
THEN WE REALIZED THAT WE HAD TO GET TO OUR INVESTIGATORS HOUSE SO WE TOOK A ROUTE THAT WE THOUGHT WOULD GET US THERE AND WE GOT LOST. AND WE WERE WALKING DOWN THE STREET AND WE SAW THIS LADY WHO WAS MOWING HER LAWN AND THE DUST WAS FLYING EVERYWHERE AND GRASS WAS FLYING EVERYWHERE . SHE LOOKED REALLY BUSY SO WE WALKED BY AND WAVED AND THEN I HAD THE IMPRESSION TO TURN AROUND AND I DID I TURNED BACK AND SMILED AT HER AND SHE THEN SHUT OFF THE LAWN MOWER AND ASKED
"WHO ARE YOU GUYS" AND I WAS LIKE "WERE THE MISSIONARIES" SHE THEN CLAPPED HER HANDS TOGETHER AND SAID "GREAT IVE BEEN PRAYING FOR 3 WEEKS THAT GOD WOULD SEND MISSIONARIES TO MY DOOR IVE READ THE BOOK OF MORMON I KNOW THAT ITS TRUE I KNOW THAT JOSEPH SMITH IS A PROPHET AND I WANT YOU TWO TO HELP ME ON THE STEPS TO BAPTISM INTO YOUR CHURCH.
SINCE THEN WE WENT BACK THAT NIGHT AND TAUGHT LESSON 1 AND WE HAVE TAUGHT LESSON 2 AND SHE HAS COMMITTED TO LIVE THE WORD OF WISDOM
SHE DOESNT HAVE ANY CONCERNS. ITS AMAZING HOW MUCH THE LORD IS PRESENT IN MISSIONARY WORK .
AQUA GOLF IS A DRIVING RANGE THAT YOU HIT GOLF BALLS INTO A LAKE AND THERE ARE BASKETS IN THE LAKE IF YOU MAKE IT INTO ANY OF THEM YOU WIN MONEY.
THIS IS MY LETTER TO THE WHOLE FAMILY I WAS TEACHING A LADY WHILE I WAS EMAILING YOU SO IT TOOK ME THE WHOLE HOUR TO WRITE THIS.
ILOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH YOU ARE SO AWESOME
LOVE YOUR SON
ELDER BURNS.
