well im glad to hear the festivities are going well thanks for the pictures looks like fun. sorry for not sending a letter this last week things were a little crazy. my companion and i survived transfer calls and we are remaining in the same area. which probably means i will be there for at least 2 more transfers. it will be fun no one here seems a fan of the jesse burbidge way they all would rather sit on the couch for two years and just wait for the mission to get over but i try to rev em up, they don't appreciate that but, i have found that when that happens i just let it roll off my back and sing a song or hymn and just read the good book. im not trying to complain i just like the burbidge idea of working instead of whatever else they have in their heads. im not trying to be an over acheiver or a brown noser i just want to do what i came out here to do. dont get me wrong we are doing good out here and we are gonna have another baptism real soon. i just know that if we are doing this good now if we applied the real effort we would be doin way better. well enough of that i just got my hair cut again and i just had it all chopped off i look kinda goofy i dont think the lady understood what i wanted but it is cooler tempurature wise.
this morning we had an early morning service project and we helped a member gut his little rent out apartment he has on his house. it was real sad. the people that were renting the apartment left it in a total mess. so we had to clean out the rest of the gross furniture and then tear out all the carpet just caked with mold and then we are gonna have to take some of the sheet rock down. its just not a pretty site. but they dont even have a phone number or any idea of a location for the long gone tenants.
dont worry to much about me i find mor and more the reasons i want to stay and work here. its just easy to get weighed down sometimes.
well some good news the girl i told you about last week continues to write me she is alot of fun to write she will probably be married when i get home so dont worry im not falling in love or anything.i have been gettting letters i need to write a few more its just hard to keep up with it all.
so what do you think about my joining the army helicopter pilot idea then go to school to be a photographer? just another jesse wayne job idea. well i best be off time is running short.
love elder burbidge
