12-21-09 Christmas

Family and Friends,
First off, I love you all and wish you a Merry Christmas.

We were going to have a baptism this week, but it got pushed back. The investigator starts Chemotherapy Tuesday, so It may not happen for while. We will still visit him as much as his health will permit and keep him on the road to the waters of baptism. He is such a kind hearted guy.

The work with hispanic invertigators remains the same. We are trying our best to get them all to church. We have a few new Spanish investigators.

This week was very eventful. We had Zone conference Wednesday (it was supposed to be last week but was moved due to snow), Exchanges that night and the next morning, the Temple Thursday night, and Interviews Friday morning. It was nice to get back home Friday after two nights in Council Bluffs.
It was also so nice to go back to the temple after about 5 months. I learned even more than I have previous times. It is always so peaceful in there.

I am excited for my first Christmas away from home. It will be a new experience. It has come so quickly.

I got a principles of the Gospel Book in Spanish from Zone conference, as well as the Nov and Dec Liahona. All the missionaries also recieved a copy of Teaching, no Greater Call.

We had a bit of freezing rain Saturday night. The trees looked really cool, all white, with ice crystals hanging down from all of the branches.

Merry Christmas again. Remember the Savior and the purpose for his life.
-Elder Burnham
