HEY FAMILIA!!!

¡¡¡¡ FELIZ 18 de SEPTIEMBER!!!!  Fiestas!!!!

Ah today we celebrated Independence Day here with a member. Oh my, I ate sooooooooo much!!!!! And only because I’m a missionary because I said no and then he looked at me with eyes of disappointment because he prepared a lot of meat and oh my.. So being Hermana Burnett, I said yeah I´ll have carne but only a little bit.. So I’m confiding in you all my secret of how much food I ate today. I ate a choripan, empañada, chicken, pork, and potato salad and then the steak... ah.. I couldn’t move….  But this is the life of a missionary eat what the members prepare and don’t say no. because then they are offended… So this was our first week as a trio and it was  a little hard but we found a bunch of new people to teach and that have real desire to learn… Nidia showed up to church all alone!!! It was the best surprise ever!! She loved all the classes and is reading in Alma 9 now.. How neat.. Ah moments like this make me so grateful to be doing the lords work… Sergio and Angelica are doing great.. I love this matrimony couple so much.. I feel the spirit so strong each time in their home  that I ended up crying… literally every single time…!!! Ah the Lord work is great and even better when we work with the members.. So keep serving the missionaries in your wards and sharing your testimony or being a great example to those around you because some one is always watching you as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ!!!

Le Quiero mucho

Hola  Family and Friends,

 So Sister Canto is finally gone and what adventure that was. Terminating a missionary is hard work and I'm a little glad its over. Hermana Canto is a great person and Im super excited to have been with her twice..  With her gone that means that Im going to have a new compie , right.. Well since President bruce is crazy im going to have TWO  compies... yep another TRIO,I am super surprised ,but excited...  This will be good for me to get refocused on the Lord´s work and to help our investigators progress. Im going to be with Hermana Garbin( Peru) and Gonzales(Argentina) they both seem to be really great missionaries and were companions in the MTC... i am of course nervous that I won´t be all that they expect and that I´ll let them down, however I know with prayers and a lot a faith everything will work out. 

We had Stake Conference the other day and all of our investigators bailed on us .. ah it was the worse feeling ever to prepare mentally and to have members ready to meet each of them and then they dont show up because they are sick or just dont contest the phone,... however we were able to go with Georgina and Jorge which are two recent converts and on the way our mamita and papito passed by and took us in auto.. Our papito received the priesthood yesterday it was so great.. He was so happy and nervous all morning... The conference was will done and was about the book of mormon and how we should always be preparing for the temple. . President Diaz shared that if we read 3 pages of the book of mormon every day that we could finish the book by nov 28.. perfect.. cause that is my goal .. so i challenge you all to do so for my birthday present , so i wont be there this year.. listo!!!

 After the conference we found out that 2 of our investigators weRe there and we didnt even know it .. how exciting..

anyways love you all and wish you a happy September

 

 HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROLO!!!

 

LOVE YOU Hermana Burnett

Hola Familia y Amigos

HAPPY LABORS DAY!!! You Lucky Ducks!!! hahaha

 So this week was GREAT!! We were able to find some really great new people to teach , a Family actually. And the mom is a less active (Luisa)!! Perfect. So we taught her and her 2 kids this week and invited them to our Ward Movie Friday night to see 17 miracles. The day before we find out the church doesn't have  electricity because Santiago forgot to pay. So we are freaking out cause everyone is super excited to attend the activity and we don't want to change the day so we are praying that will have electricity that night.. Friday in the Morning we had amazing Conference with President Bruce and Sister Bruce. they both are so spiritually strong and gave great talks about the importance of planning and how the vision of the mission has changed to focus more on baptizing and being stronger missionaries like Ammon. It was one of the strongest and spiritual conferences that I have had in a long time.. We begin reading Alma 17\18  and sharing how we need to change the way we think about our sectors and love every moment in each sector and that  we are the only ones with the power in our areas.. Ah read ALMA 17 its so great!!! 

    Hermana Bruce shared how we need to plan better and specifically for each person including those members . We need to be more detailed and take care of our people. Because each number we report represents a person. Each person is a Child of God. Always remember this..

    So back to the story Friday night comes and we HAVE ELECTRICITY!!! Yay!! So We attend the activity with the kids and there at the church Sergio is waiting, our other HOT, FIRE, GOLD Investigator. And during the movie, he would look at me after each miracle with the face of , really.. wow.. He loved it and cried and wants his wife to see it.. YAY for great Church movies.. Saturday is great too and then comes 10:30pm and we are getting ready for bed when the phone rings and Im thinking its the elders calling for numbers . When Hna Canto is making noise and saying ´¨Si, okay SI ¨when after she mentions Luisa our Less active called and says¨my daughter wants to talk¨Hola Hermanas, Hey i want to come to Church with you tomorrow , me and my cousin.!!! ( she 15 years old) AH AH!!! YAY  We begin to scream and dance .. What 15 year old calls and invites them selves to church!!! our AWESOME INVESTIGATORS!!! YAHOO!!! Anyways, being here people turn off the phones at night so we couldn't get a hold so we run to other side of town at 9:20 am and knock her door and she said yeah, im coming!! yeah!!!

   Another One of our investigators Karina, opened up and said I know the Book of Mormon is true and Jose Smith. This story is to beautiful and strong to be fake. And her mother came in the room and shared a dream that she once had of Jose Smith!! she has so many great questions.. Karina told Hna, Canto¨YOu have broken my black heart¨  ah so sweet.. 

  Ah I love this work and am trying so hard to be the best missionary i can with what little time i have left. Its so great here and there is so much work to do!!!

Take care all of you and don't forget to pray, read and attend church every Sunday so that The Lord may watch over and bless you abundantly!!!

p.s. thanks so much aunt Susan and uncle mark for my awesome new backpack!!!1  I LOVE IT..  And thanks Relief society for a great card.!!!

Le Quiero,
