Hello,
Well this week was tough again but haha it is what it is. We couldn't contact one of our investigators so we didn't teach a single lesson this week. We have t-text (transfer text) coming up this week which should be crazy. After reporting this week I had a major break down moment where I just bawled haha... I just needed to cry for some reason. I kept thinking about when Dad use to tell me I couldn't cry because Wrestlers don't cry. But it was a need and after ward I felt a lot better. This area has been a huge challenge for me the last 4 1/2 months. I can say I love this area but not for the reasons I loved my last areas.. this area has taught me how to be a Man.. I've really been put through the refiners fire in this area. The best comparison I can draw to my real life is sophomore basketball conditioning. Just running and running and running.. mr carpet and running some more... loosing game after game. Not feeling like you've accomplished what you wanted to. But I think and hope the results will be the same. I remember that year we ended up winning the last 3 games of our season.. and during baseball I was in tons better shaped and a lot faster. I know now that for my last 4 1/2 months I will be in the best "shape" possible to help the Lord win these last 3 games! And then as I move into the next part of life I will be able to cope with lifes challenges better. That is probably why the mission means so much to me. It has pulled me and streched me to the point where I didn't think I could go.. and we'll I'm still going. I love this so much and I can't wait to finish this fourth quarter with everything I have. I love you and I'll be seeing you.
Love,
Elder Burton
