Hi Everyone,

 So this week we were able to finally fine some new people to teach, hopefully they can feel the spirit in the lessons so that we can help them receive this gospel. We had a wonderful lesson with Sergio and Angelica. They are some great christian that  live by the words of the Bible and truly believe in everything that we do, however don´t realize that we have the authority of God again here on the Earth thanks to our wonderful Profeta Jose Smith. This lesson that we teach all the time is so strong because so many people don't realize that Christ lives and that he blessed us with another living prophet today!!!  How blessed are we to be apart of this Gospel . To be Saints of Christ here preparing to be with our Heavenly Father and Jesucristo again. And most important to be with our families para Siempre!!!  We are truly blessed.. 

I was able to teach our Principles class yesterday about Profetas and our Recent Convert was truly surprised and happy to know that today we have a man called of God here to direct in the path of Christ.. It was a very strong and spiritual class.  I hope that you all can remember that we are blessed to have Profeta Thomas S. Monson as a president and that he is able to guides us with his great 12 Apostles . Make sure to do all you can to pray for them, to keep the commandments and to continue to read the talks we receive in the Ensign. Make sure to be active in your callings and the most important to Love One Another..

 Hermana Canto and I have have been doing great together. Running every morning probably more of a jog. haha and Learning to love, laugh and Live every day to the fullest. She isnt Trunky which is good because I find myself more trunky then her some days.. hahah

Love you all

Hola Familia y Amigas,

 

So this week we worked hard at doing really casual and confident contacts. Making sure that during the 30 first seconds we gave our very best impression. We are trying to focus more on them and not even mention our names. So its been a little tough to not say ¨Hola, soy Hermana Burnett y ella es my compañera Hermana Canto¨.. This sentence is forbidden... So our first few contacts there was a lot of awkward waiting and silence on who was going to speak next .. But with time we got the hang of it and entered some really great homes were we shared a short sweet lesson and put appointments to come back. wahoo. That's called a new investigator and we need 10 each week.. So I am trying to better at this making contact oh -Hi I like your car its nice, how many kids do you have ¨and so forth... One of our families is progressing so much . The 11 year old read her reading assignment twice!! how cute!!! right..The only thing holding them back is Sundays they get caught up with heading to the beach:( dumb beach, ..Anyways we have faith that this Sunday is there day!!! We did a great contact Saturday

 

us: hola como esta

mom : nope, im super busy helping th kids with homework and yard work.

 Us:hey we can help we are teachers. 

mom: really, yeah come on in.

 

 Yeah she didnt even ask our names or what we were doing. I ended up helping the little girl with English  and Canto with help the brother with his math.. The homework had the word Ladybird aka Ladybug.. So I told her Chinita is Ladybug and she kept repeating ladybird cause that is what the teacher had. hahaha

 

I was able to go with a member to Jumbo and buy some Bomers(crocs) cause this is the only place that sold my size the biggest here is like a 9 or if your lucky a 10.. Im hoping my shoes last

 

Love you all sorry this is sloppy and random, I lost track of time .. I promise to write more next week

 

Take care and good luck with school everyone

 

Love Hermana Burnett

p.s. Thanks Louise Metcalf and Breanne  and Megan for the great letter!!!!! I LOVED IT oh and the Package of candy I gained 5 pounds easily in a week eating it all

Hey EVERYONE!!!!

 So this week we had a great lesson with our cute Cesped Family.. The daughters are 11,13,14 years old and two of them did their reading homework and explained everything they read perfectly.. It was so exciting to watch them secretly contest each question I had .. I did intercombios with Hermana Romney, she is so sweet she is from North Carolina and has the same time as me in the field... I was able to take a little bit of Spanish break, which was a big relief for her because she has been with a Latina for 4 months.. haha We also had a wonderful lesson with Nidia. We can always feel the spirit so strongly with her and can see her growing so much in this Gospel... I am praying she can find another job cause that is the only thing holding her back. Catalinna is progressing tons and has a baptism day for the 1 Sept. She happy with this date and is enjoying the YW program.  Hermana Canto foot has been hurting so I have been running alone which gets boring fast and is harder..  But I have to keep doing it to be obedient and also loose all the bread weight I put on here in Chile. haha :)   There was another strong earthquake but nothing happened to the homes so its all good. 

Love you all and hope that you are reading your Book of Mormon everyday!!!!

Le Quiero

Hola Familia,

 

 

Hey so this was my first week with Hermana Canto again... Crazy right . It has been fun working with her again, she is a very good leader and always happy . So it makes the days go by better and we have been making a lot of fun memories. We had an amazing lesson with Catalinna. She was nervous that her mom wasn't going to let us teach her the other day and when she went to ask I hear ¨si, si¨¨ and then she entered all happy . She said I could get baptized!! Then two minutes later the mom entered and asked so when is the day for the baptism..And hermana Canto jokingly said tomorrow.. Which of course caught the mom off guard but she didn't say no.. And then Cata said Sept 1. and my heart was noooo that's so far away.. but  The Lord knows what is best. So we are preparing her for next month but hoping that she can be baptized this month.. We had another great lesson with Gilda , however she wasn't able to come to church so i think we have to let her go.. We have been struggling to find new people to teach but I know this week will be better as we keep being obedient and doing the things the Lord ask of us..  We have a lot of less actives and investigators with questions of the Tribe of Israel and it has been really neat to be able to share the Book of Mormon with answers to their question  this BOOK IS GREAT.. I am loving the book of Mormon so much right now and am trying two finish it twice before i end and i am rereading part however finding new verses that have always been there but mean something a lot more this time.

 I am so thankful for all your love and support and hope that this week is great for you all as you end all your summer fun...

p.s.The vision of our president this month is to become MCA Olympian .. So we have 5 different categories that we can win from.. So this is exciting I love competition..

 

Love Hermana Burnett
