Well this week has been................. like a horrible marriage i guess i have tasted just a tad bit of what it will feel like when my wife will be pregnant and cranky whinning about everything haha however you know me I've done this before so now I am trying to just stay happy and laughing always dont worry about me I am doing fine just grand! That was pretty sweet to get that email from Cam the Chileanos are some pretty cool cats I think thats how you spell it. This week we worked like crazy because I can finally work my fanny off without my senior comp saying he wants to rest. I feel bad for my comp but its good for him hes pretty disobedient but with time it will change. We have fougthen about everyday. Anywho not much else going on we were supposed to have a baptism but the brazilian we were teaching decided to throw a chair at her pregnant sister so ya she never got baptized. Pray for my comp that he will have the desires to work because right now his attitude is I dont care if we baptize a single person. I know we will I dont have any doubts at all! PS dont send me anything for my bday what I would like is for you all to send me something you like about me like old times hahaha just kidding but seriously. Hope all is well that sucks the cards lost but they werent allowed to when while I was here and couldnt watch it haha hope all is well stay happy and laugh because thats all I can do. Chat next week live with elder burr

Piri

What up fam greetings from Paraguay the land of no rules. how is everyone doing? I am doing great the comp is still a little grumpy especially right now because he wants to use computers together but we arent allowed so he's a little mad. You'd think he would know the rules after being out 1 year and 7 months. He lets me know everyday about how long I have before I go home its very uplifting. Whatever though its cool I am doing great so don't worry about anything I am just trying to be a good example. I talked with Pres. wade at zone conference and he said he put me with him for a reason I guess we will find out what that it is later in life? About the conference talks just magazines are great because I dont have anything to listen to it on so magazines are great. Also for christmas and everything just put money in my accounct so I can buy you guys stuff. This week was one of the funniest in my mission we took bikes all the way out to one of our areas Cordillera 2 hour bike ride. We are supposed to have another group of missionaries out here but its just us two. Anyway my tire ended up popping and Elder Riveras chain snapped and the member we went with rode a pink bike that said lady action hahaha it ended up being the best one! He would fly by me and say lady action haha good times. also this week I bought my temple clothes here we are going the end of this month I'm so excited! Oh ya and this week we are buying a rabbit from one of our members this next week and going to eat it with another family in our ward haha the rabbit is huge! Also if you can send me a calender for christmas that would be great because I dont have one. A crappy one is fine. Also today I bought a fanny pack haha yes thats right I'm bringing back the 90s its the new style in Paraguay. I put my camera in it and then put my shirt over it they say it is the most safe thing to do. Well gotta run im going to try and send a few pics. Love you all! keep smiling because thats all I can do! Para siempre dios este con vos! Elder Big Burr

Yes, I got a new companion!

Well this week lets just say has been a living nightmare. We had changes and I am still in Piribebuy but Elder Brown is now in Capiatan as a District Leader. My new comp is Elder Riveras from El Salvador. He doesn't speak any English and doesn't want to learn. Lets just say he's not the most obedient and I feel like I am a babysitter and the senior comp. Hobbies of Elder Rivera? Sitting outside on our porch in his garments during the day listening to his mp3 {50 cent} in front of everyone that walks by, sleeping for 3 hours after church while I study also sleeping in an extra hour, and taking food breaks about every 20 minutes. Fun week right? Not! Don't get me wrong he knows how to teach and he is a super funny guy but more then 95% of the time I want to .......{you can fill in the blank of cruel things I would like to do } Other then that I am doing great! I am just trying to stay positive and work like I always do and be a good example for him as much as I can the language with him isnt a problem just babysitting. What can you do? Anyway there is a lady in our ward that makes those lace things for tables or whatever what color? and how big do you want it to be? How many? Let me know next monday so I can tell her. Sounds like everything back at home is good and everyone is going great. Just about every utard knows BYU won pure luck haha. We had testimony meeting this Sunday which was pretty good and always funny Haha Talk to you next week Love you All Elder Burr Para seimpre dios este convos
