Dear Family,
This morning we went to IHOP for breakfast because so many
things are changing in our Zone. The AP is going home and my companion
went ZL and is going to Brookings. I am getting Elder Richins from CA as
well. I am excited to serve with him!
I wish to share with you two quotes that have changed everything I have been planning on doing.
"Sacrifice brings forth the blessings from Heaven" - Hymn 29, Praise to the Man"
I have decided that there is no time like now; after at, it is
a present! I declined my release and will be coming home on the 8th of
December like I should be. After all, I was called for 24 months, not
23. How could I expect myself or my future family to make sacrifices for
the Lord, if I didn't. So, schooling at FCC will not be in my playbook.
However...
"Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Performance" - President Monson
Knowing that the Lord will bless me with my schooling needs, I
am in the process of applying to BYU-I for the Winter Semester of 2012.
I want to be able to have a schooling option open and in my opinion, wouldn't want it to be any other than BYU-I. I know that if it is what
the Lord wants me to do, he will provide a way for payment through
scholarships, or through a decent job. After all, I would much rather
take a student loan and continue my education, than to delay an prohibit
my progression through this life at a crucial time.
I hope that you can support my decisions, after all, they are
mine and mine alone. I do wish to have your input and your support
however. I do love and miss you! May God be with you through all that
you do!
Elder Burnett
