I saw Lindsi ..oh I mean, Sister Burr in the MTC cafeteria
and it was awesome, she's going to kill it. She is so happy and optimistic. Being an English speaking missionary would make the MTC the
bomb because all you do is eat awesome food and ice cream and play competitive dodge-ball and feel the spirit. It's like a 10-day spiritual
vacation!! But I'm happy, I get to spend 55 more days here because that
means I get 7 more Tuesday-night Devotionals which means I get to hear
Apostles speak 7 more times. Last Tuesday, Elder Richard G. Scott talked to us
and it was the wildest thing, I had never heard an Apostle speak like he
did before, it was so personal and human. I mean, General Conference is
awesome and all, but it's refined for millions, this was a talk just to
us and it was raw and real. He gave us all a blessing that we would
learn the language. The spirit was so strong, he was crying the whole
time and he said he was emotional because he could feel the presence of
his wife (who died 18 years ago) It was wild. I was thinking after,
that her spirit was there because missionary work is so important. I'll bet
there are souls in the spirit world just screaming for missionaries to
teach their families in Peru, or Nashville, or Taiwan, or
......LA!!!!!!
The language is coming a little better, I love all
the letters you guys send, I will try to write back ASAP. I have been
thinking a lot about prayer since I have been praying so much in the
MTC (before I eat, before I study, before class, before we sing) and it's
wild that God, who is perfect, powerful, the creator of worlds, Alpha
and Omega, the Great I Am, and Jesus Christ, My Savior and Redeemer,
The light of the World. These two amazing beings WANT to listen to me,
some lowly human who knows not great doctrine wise and not a spiritual powerhouse, but just some guy. They want me to talk to them,
and whenever I want to. I get to pray to them whenever I want to. It
just goes to show how infinite and eternal their love is for me and all of
Gods Children (Shen de Haizi) haha I'm learning something. Well, love you
guys.
Love,
Elder Burr
