YO Fam
well I got a new companion and calling it turns out that president has been sending me the troubled elders as of late and for this transfer he took on aother one. this guy has been out for a little over 6 months his name is Elder Hokenson. I am feeling tired. my skin is starting to resemble chewed leather.I am also district leader of the canyon country district. Kinda crazy huh. well I hope i make it through this transfer alive.
so im glad to hear that you got to go see corynn go through the temple thats so awesome. did you guys tak her on a hike club hike. are you guys still even doing that?
as soon as i get dads letter i will send my current picture card.
Im working hard and seeing blessings we just got a couple new investigators and this past sunday every one of the people we have been teaching showed up to church. my heart was swolen with graditude. it was also great sacrament meting we had a bishop switch so we got to here the testimonies of the old and new bishopric it was great and really cool for the people that we had there to see. Elder cottle and i also had the opportunity to teach the second hour gospel essentials class i showed the movie "only a stone cutter" and we talked about how faith is a principle of ACTION and POWER. I love that statement and there are so many good examples of people who take the action and build their faith. its cool because those sorts of people always have a profound impact on me thus building my faith. You and Dad are two such examples thank you.
well not to much else to report its transfer P-day so we are kinda busy figureing out how we are going to swithch companions and not leave anybody alone but it will all work out.
well life is tough and good I love you guys
love you son Elder J. Wayne Burbidge

well today is going to be a great day.
today we dont have too much planned we no longer are aided by having a truck they ended up selling it out from under us. so my companion still refuses to ride a bike even though he has one so here we are on foot. which is ok by me.
That fireside sounds like fun i wish i could have been there.
one Saturday this lady that me and my old companion elder wood found got baptized. it was awesome she got baptized at the north hollywood building so i got to go down for the baptisim it was so fun to see all of the people there. it was also cool to see the baptisim of someone that i found it seems like that doesnt happen very much. I dont know if you remember Albert and old investigator of ours in North Hollywood but he just happened to be there it was wierd because the missionaries havent even been teaching him so i dont know how he wound up coming he just showed up it was cool.We also got to go see the carsons it was so fun i love going back and their kids ar so excited to see me just like my nieces and nephews. so Justisn and sarah carson are going to be in washington in couple of weeks i told them they should meet up with you guys. so You should meet up with them in seatle if you can that would be so cool they are dying to meet you guys.
this last week was really good we made alot of progress with our investigators i felt like.
Im starting to feel more at home here now just like my last area. there are allot of families i am really close with its such a fun ward.
Im glad you liked the mothers day card.
how was cati when you got back? tell her i say hello and tell her i miss her an awful lot. so when does payton report to the MTC? man im so excited that he is gotting out there its gonna be so cool to hear all his mission stories.
Well life is pretty good out here in california I hope all is well at home
love your son

Dang
this week has been awesome.!!!!!
I wish i could have seen you and you sisters you guys always crack me up when you are all together. ive never seen wicked i dont even know what its about.
Dont get sucked away by a tornado. isnt it that season? I really wish i was coming with you. I wish i could see a tornado. did you hear about alabama we have a member who has a daughter who lives out there. pretty scary.
so mothers day is rounding the corner so our church is at 11 and gets done at 2 we will hopefully be goin over to someones house to call maybe we will go over to the lees. but our number is ***-***-**** i dont even know our house number anymore so i guess i will just call you cell phone it will probably be around 3 or 4 that we call.
Yesterday we had the most special baptism of my life it was #1. His name is Harald Azuma he has brain cancer i already told you about him but the guy cant even stand we had four elders holding him just like he was a little kid. when i sad the prayer i was over come by the spirit it was so strong. he is so full of faith it was cool. Im way excited to continue helping him. also earlier in the week Herald went to the doctor and the doctor said we cant really keep doing chemo unless your blood platelet count comes up and if it doesnt come up we can only comfort you until the end. man I didnt know what to say we sat there in silence herald was pretty emotional. then moroni ch 6 came to mind the part about taking the names and remembering them he liked that and seemed to get a boost. Today we are going over to watch him. his wife has to go somewhere so i offered to go over and hang with him it will be fun its our p-day.
one other crazy cool thing yesterday we went to a birthday party for a member in our ward. there was a couple nonmebers there i was talking with him he was really cool we talked for a long time i told him if you have questions call this number our go to this web site yada yada yada. then we were takling about where he lives and he is throwing out all these street names that are really familiar it turns out that he lives three houses down from our mission president well the mission home how crazy is that it was funny.
well where are you guys going to be on mothers day?
I cant wait to talk to you. Everything is wonderful here.
well i love you guys and hey are you sending the picture card home?
