Letter from Elder Burnett

Dear Family,

Once again, the fall leaves are hitting the floor and the sun is leaving us. Rain is coming to us to replenish the dry ground and although I loved it back home, it has become the enemy of my efforts of work! But also over here… It just gets COLD, COLD, COLD...and then SNOWS!!! And I am not talking like, fun snow. It’s the wet, dreary, nasty snow. Also it’s not 50 degrees cold...like -50 degrees cold WITHOUT WINDCHILL. But alas, winter is a different season, a time to look at the world in a different point of view!

I’m glad to hear that things are going well! The yard looks absolutely beautiful; I just wish I was there putting it in as well. Don’t mind me though; we do plenty of service out here to make up for it. :) Keep me updated, and I would love to have pictures to hold and look at when it’s done. (I.E. Save the pictures to the comp. Save pictures on comp to CD. Take CD to Walgreens and get some hard copies. Send them off to a very happy boy in a distant land! ^^) I’m also glad to hear that things are going well with the kids.

Things are going well out here! We have some actual promising investigators and look forward to being an instrument myself. I look forward to my birthday, even though turning 20 is going to be a new stone for me; not exactly 21, but no longer a teenager! Looks like there goes some of my excuses ;) Love you all so much and keep in touch! The gospel brings forth the blessings of heaven! Adieu!
