Funky Fresh Week!!
So
this week was Thanksgiving, I tried my hardest to make a voice
recording, but my mind kept rambling on into nonsense. I will compose
myself and send one next week.
Wow, Thanksgiving has gone and went on now its Dec...WHAT THE!! Hey is Eric Taylor home from his mission yet?? (rambling on into nonsense?)
So
for Thanksgiving, we went to Christopher Tungs house, he is pretty
crazy....he is like 45 and the craziest. He gets really depressed
and stressed over lttle weird things. His house got struck by
lighting and that sent him into months of sadness. BUT he's all good now
and he tells us our fortune. So when we went over their, it was the
first time that he had used his oven in 10 years. He cooked for us, and
he never cooks, and I was so happy I got to spend Thanksgiving with someone that doesn't have anyone else to spend it with. It really was heart
warming.
So, we found out some awesome news....2 awesome new's. So
Liu DX got baptized 3 or 4 weeks ago, and now his wife wants to be
bapized! So we have been teaching them together and it has been so good
because not only does she understand super well, Liu DX, who has known
about the church for maybe 3 or 4 months, is teaching right along with
us!! I was talking about the atonement and how it allows us to return to
Heavenly Father, and I finsihed talking and Liu DX said " ahh don't
forget, it also overcame physical death that we could have ressurected
bodies." AHHH I was so pumped on that.
Also, so Samson and Tiffany, also an awesome pair of
investigators. We were teaching Samson the law of chastity (this is the
one we were scared for because they were co-habitating) TURNS OUT they
are already married!! They legally sealed the deal in China at the
beggining of the year, but they never had the marriage party with all
the friends, and apparently that's when people think you are married in
China so that's why they don't tell people they are married. So we just
have to clear that with President and they should get baptized too!!
ALSO, the teacher we TA for at the Chinese School every
Saturday, her daughter moved here from China. And last Saturday the
teacher pulled me aside and said, "I think religion is good for my
daughter, I want her to be baptized." !! So it's just miracles, it is a
work of miracles!!!
Wow, I feel so blessed right now, it's weird, during the
experience you don't understand how amazing it is. And as I look back
it's just so awesome!! I know I haven't done anything to help these
people, it has all been the Lord and his Spirit and his true gospel.
Also, I have been meaning to tell you, my companion. Elder Bowman, his familly lives in Alpine, maybe you should drop by.
Love you all.
Dad; sunsets here are pretty good, I'll snap some pics if I'm near the ocean

Love you all,
Elder Burr
