Hey Fam and Friends!!!

Are you all excited for HALLOWEEN!!! boooooo!!! hahahahah ( my witch laugh) I hope you all are because I dont get to celebrate it again ;( so enjoy it and take lots of pictures!!!  

Anyways so i completed my first week here in Arica with cute Hermana Cram... She is so great and Tiny!!! literally she is smaller then Hna Gonzalez which I have no idea how!!! She is 4´11´ and wears size 2 shoe and I'm of course totally opposite at 5´10 is and size 12 shoe hahaha.. But her heart is huge and she has the greatest laugh ever i am surely enjoying every minute with her.. Hna Chen is also here my good friend from Guatemala her companion hna Santos from Honduras.. Its so great here we have a wonderful ward and bishopric and a great zone... 

We found out the other day that Pasual our investigator with a baptism date for Nov 3 is here now and will be leaving Thursday but he really wants to get baptized before he leaves... so we hurry and start throwing together talks and making the program and looking for clothes for the baptism for the next day.. Pascual Ortiz was baptized Saturday at 7;00pm by his son Fabio who is a recent convert (aug) and at his baptism were 2 recent convert families there to give support. It  was one of the most spiritual baptism i have seen through out my mission.. He was so excited to be baptized and was almost running to the baptism font.  Its moments like this that remind me why I am here and why I have chosen to give only a little bit of my time to help some one else's family become united forever... The wife and her two boys where baptized in August and last week the daughter and Saturday the dad.. now they are only missing one kid.. how neat right!!! Now we are preparing them to go to the temple next year!!!! ah how great 

is this family.. Last night we also found another family that said they want to go to church and to become more closer with God.

And the other day I did contact with Hna Chen and we found a family of 5 and she said they showed up to church yesterday and that the dad is excited to have another lesson that he mentioned  ´ no, not that day cause i wont be here how about Thursday´. ah how beautiful right!!! This work is amazing and i am so grateful to be here as an instrument in the Lords hand.. I am learning so many wonderful things from these people more then I thought I would. I challenge you all to keep reading the Book of Mormon to finish before December 18. hahah but truly and listen to the holy ghost because the Lord is waiting to use you as an instrument in his work..

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! 

AH I COMPLETED 16 MONTHS TODAY IN THE MISSION!!!!! CRAZY!!

Love you all

Hey Family and friends!!! 

 So we had the baptism of Catalinna on Saturday!!! yeah!! after 4 months she was finally able to be baptized!!! it was so pretty and we had a lot of support from the members.. and I didnt over fill the font this time. hahaha...  Rosel is doing great and  preparing to receive the priesthood.  The ward here in Chañarcillo is great all really nice people and very caring.. One of YSA boy Fernando has been working a lot with us as he prepares for his mission in january... Which is great cause we can definitely can feel a differences in the lessons when we are working with a member.. The spirit is stronger because there is another person testifying how the gospel is part of their life with work or school, unlike us missionaries sometimes. It was a great week especially when there are CAMBIOS!!!  So the cambios are here and the wheel of fortune has been spun and Hermana Burnett is off too..........ARICA!!!!!! The northest part of the mission with cutie Hermana Cram from Riverton UTAH!!!!! Wahooo!!! So Here i am after a 17 hour bus drive of all sand and hills but im here and its gorgeous!!! We live in an apartment next to the BEACH!!! yeah and my compie likes to run so yeah !!!!! Hermana Cram will be my terminator.. so 8 weeks with her here in ARICA (a reek a)  Its going to be a great journey here as I complete the goals of the president and my own..

 CONGRATULATIONS SKYLER AND JESSICA!!! The photos of the wedding are beautiful!! It was soexciting to see pictures of everyone except DANIELLE BERRY!!! where are you!!! anyways congrats you two!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA!!! YOu and grandma look great!! im so happy to hear and see that you had a great birthday and that all your children where able to be there!!! Love you tons grandpa!!!

hey familia  y amigas,

After a hectic week  and running around we were able to have a beautiful baptism of Rosel Reyes he is the husband of a member who is from Cuba.. Crazy huh.. He was living in a country where he had no rights and now he is working, using Internet and  cell phones and learning about our beautiful Gospel . He went to work Saturday the day of his baptism and told his boss he couldnt work late because today he is getting baptized.  :) While we were waiting for his father in law to get there to baptize him i went to check on the font and there was water all in the hallway.. i began to run and yelling " obsipo , agua esta saliendo" hahahah the whole room was covered with water. So we spent a good 30 mins cleaning up the water..hahah there is a first for everything right..  The baptismal service was very small with family only  and one investigator but very beautiful.  It was a beautiful day and has been a long time since i have been able to see something so spiritual and great.. I love  this work so much  and am so grateful for the opportunity to have been part of this great change in Rosels´life.The other night we went to visit a less active and luckily all of her family was there in which they each began to have more confidence in us to share all of their feelings. one of the sisters  drove us home and in the car began to cry and share how much she was struggling and didnt know what to do..  it was so amazing to see how much power we  have as missionaries in that the people want to share everything and anything with us.  Im so  very grateful for this time to be serving and to have seen the lord ´s hand in his work here in Chañarcillo. I loved the talk by Elder Russell M. Nelson  Ask the Missionaries! They Can Help You!  It was so true everything he mention we as missionaries use to do contacts.. I love this time here in Chile and for the opportunity to be a representative of The Lord and to help bring people into his kingdom..  Im getting nervous at my time comes to an end here. But I know the Lord will help me continue forward focused in all that he wants me to do..  

cambios saturday!!! where will hna burnett  go!!!!!!

Love you all

Hermana Burnett

October 8th Letter

 Hi family and friends!!!!

 Okay so gmail is being dumb.. i promise i have been writing every week!!!! So this week was great!!! The Trio here in Chanarcillo is rolling well. I believe and know its because we had 3 days of divisions starting with our great sister assistants which helped so much!! they gave us a little up beat speech before we started and it truly brought the spirit!! hna gonzalez and i are finding ourselves laughing more and giving nicknames to each other like Corazon chicko or amor and secretly writing post notes and hiding them in each others books....  Hna Garbin and I are also laughing more and writing secret notes but i think im a little to crazy for her some times.. :)Im learning to love this work more and to be more outward focus as i have only a little more time here in Chanarcillo.. Conference was amazing especially listening to it in english helped!!! it was a very spiritual weekend. I loved all the talks in their own way  Especially the Profeta}s he is so great. and the family history!! ah i cant wait to get back and do temple work!!!. I was also able to see so many of my old ward members and gives hugs which was great... We are preparing the baptism of Rosel this weekend so this will be a fun and trying to make the record of 90 people in church in which two weeks ago we had 82.. the weather here is super hot and am melting... hopefully i}ll be a little brown when i get back which i received my flight plans today !!! freaky!!! ah where has the time gone!!!

 

 LOVE YOU ALL

AH THIS WEEK I COMPLETED 15 MONTHS in the MISSION!!! Ah CRAZY!!!

 AND now Jake is going to be leaving in January!! Wow this Glade Berry family is shipping missionaries out left and right!! Hahaha congrats Jake!!!!! 

 Wow this week was a crazy rollercoaster of feeling in which all went downhill on Saturday,, Our investigator called at 11 and said I’m sick I can´t get baptized today in which is the same excuse she used last week.. Oh my and then all our other investigators didn’t want to go to church or couldn’t... so Sunday at 3:30 am we start calling everyone in the world to wake them up and to tell them we will be passing by to pick them up and I was getting rejected over and over… ah so sad… however the positive of this week is we had 12 less active and converts. And we had 82 people in church which has been the highest in many months… we had some very good spiritual lessons and booked ysa girls to do divisions with us this week.. I’m super excited for that!! And plus general conference!!!! Yay!! 8 hours of spiritual uplift and bonus hour of women conference yay!!!!  With my two companions mentioned that on the schedule it says companion prayer in the morning and night before personal... crazy ive never noticed or have done them and now has we do them together we have the spirit stronger and are more united!!! I’m so thankful for PRAYERS!!!

Love you all and sorry for last week’s letter Gmail is being weird!!!

Love Hermana Burnett
