I talked with President about Mojo
the other day, and after my mind drifted to Austin Powers for a sec, I
whipped it back and got some good advice. I have been stressing about
finishing the mission strong, I feel like because I have set that as a goal,
Satan is working on me to not achieve that. BUT my Prez just gave me the simple
solution and that is think of others, not yourself. Obviously, this is a simple
thing we learn in Primary, but really, it is one of the hardest things to do.
Especially as you get tired, or hungry, or frustrated, we as people can become
inward little selfish turtles. Just like Laman and Lemual. BUT now, it’s my
goal, not to do that, no matter the circumstances. Hold me accountable!!!!
This week, the Ward went to
Huntington Beach for a dodgeball tournament. It was awesome, we got 5
investigators to go!! And thankfully they all made it back in one piece. An
awesome couple that went was Jing and Ted, they are a newlywed couple and they
just love learning. It is all new to them. Jing, the wife said "I feel
like Christianity has something great inside it that makes so many people
believe, I want to find out what that great things is." My companion and I
testified that the great thing was the life and atonement of Jesus Christ and
how it transforms us! I am so excited to teach them. We had a lot of really
good lessons this week, we are truly blessed here.
I hear people are losing weight back
home, I am also on the path of slim fit BYU body 2015. My plan is basically run
a lot in the morning, and eat under 1600 calories a day....it kinda stinks. BUT
I have come to really love running, I think I want to get into Triatholans when
I get back. But that is talk for a loooong ways away.
I love you guys!! Thanks for
emailing me and remembering I am still in LA!
love,
Elder Burr
