Dear Family,
I have not written any letters in awhile; things sure have been hectic these last couple weeks. Investigators have been dropping like flies but we still have a couple strong ones.
I am doing well! I am still loving my mission and my new companion is awesome. We get along WAY TO WELL to last :( We will have to see.
I will try my best to implement your suggestion in writing you letters! It’s been hard for me for some reason, but I will get it done for sure! I really do love and miss you all! The Lord has blessed me with no homesickness; so to be honest, during the day I forget all about you because I am focused on the work. :)
Well, this is the close to my letter this week. I will send pictures sometime this week because I don’t have the stuff to send them to you; I left them in Wright last night! :( I keep you in my prayers and know that the Lord is watching over you all! Keep the faith and rely on the Lord for everything that you do!

Letter from Elder Burnett
Greetings from a Wonderful snowing land in the Middle of nowhere when it is supposed to be Summer soon! :)
Dear Family,
How is everything going? Conference sure was amazing this yesterday and Saturday; the Lord truly inspired them to speak upon the subject that they did, allowing us to be uplifted and brought to a higher law. Do not think that the Lord is not preparing us for the Second Coming; He prepares and raises the standard at which we live every time His servants speak. I cannot wait to hear what they have to say in October!
The mission sure is going amazing! I have been taking pictures lately and my companion and I are getting along great! I recently had to drive down to Casper for Zone Conference. It was a one and a half hour drive with winds blowing the car and some rain and snow on the return trip! It was insane! Due to my amazing driving skills and the ability I have to foretell the future, I was able to avoid any and all obstacles :)
We have several amazing investigators! We have one on date right now with 3 more to come this week! I feel so honored and blessed to be in the Lord's field! It amazes me everyday the power and influence He has over His children’s lives. I have recently been reading M. Russell Ballard’s "Our Search for Happiness". I encourage you all to include this as part of your scriptural reading! It sets for the mission of the church and has many amazing stories and insight given to us by an Apostle of the Lord. Include it in your FHE lessons as well as your daily scripture study, which I really hope you are doing. Nothing can bring us more joy than studying the Restored gospel that has been given to us in this dispensation than studying it with someone you love and care about; more so your family!
I will be sending music and pictures home next week! I am sure some of them you will enjoy to hear the stuff that we listen too and create while on p-days :) It’s quite entertaining as we get together and try and make fun songs.
I really miss receiving your weekly handwritten letters! Please continue that tradition; they mean more to me than you will ever know! And yes, I do receive the packages that are sent to me, thank you!
Remember the Lord in everything that you do! He loves you so much; we learned this and can recognize the mass amount of love our Savior has for us due to his Atonement. Never take it for granted; USE IT!!!! I love you all, until next time!
