>He Knows Me Better< (Week 74)

Family,

How are you all? I am so happy to be with my companion and to be here in Ituzaingo 2! I have learned a lot this week and have felt the love of the Lord so strongly in my life.

I will admit, last week I was not too enthused about going to Ituzaingo. But I learned a grand lesson this week about how the Lord knows me and where I need to be. He knows me better than I know myself. When we got to our area the first day we were looking in the carpeta de area and we saw a registro of names that I recognized from Padua where I started my mission. I immediately felt the Love of my Savior and knew that being here in this area is a huge blessing for me. We are teaching an investigador that I had taught when I started my mission, Luis. His wife, Andrea, is a member. They are not legally married but want to be married and Luis has made the decision to be baptized. Luis had been waiting for his divorce to go through for about two years now. The papers went though and they are just waiting on a background check from his work and they can sacar un turno and be married. I am praying that this process can finish before I go home in May. But if not it is a blessing just to be teaching them again.

This week I finished reading the Book of Mormon out loud. I feel so blessed that the Lord helped me complete my goal of finishing it before the conference. After I finished reading I knelt down to ask my Father in Heaven once again if the Book of Mormon is true. He always answers and when we do this as members it strengthens our testimony. While I was on my knees I had the impression that I would get my answer while listening to general conference. While I was watching conference I received my reaffirming answer that the Book of Mormon is true. My favorite talks from conference were from Pres. Uchtdorf and Elder Holland.

Have a fantastic week!
Con amor,
Hermana Burr

A donde me mandes iré :) (To send me where I go)‏ (Week 73)

Family,

This week president called and told me that I was going to finish my mission in Parque Leloir A. The next day I went to Hurling to pack my bags and took them to Parque. That same day he called again and said that my companion, Hermana Cespedes and I were both going to leave the area and we are going to open an area together! We are going to the area Ituzaingo 2B! Hermana Cespedes is from Bolivia and finishes her mission one transfer after I do.

I had a wonderful Easter! I love this time cause we remember Christ. I love these scriptures: Mosiah 3:7-12. We saw so many Easter miracles some of which include but are not limited to the following.

Rodrigo- we had a great lesson about the pascua (Easter) yesterday. He has doubts about tithing but after the lesson he committed to pray to know if he needs to pay his tithing. I know he will receive his answer.

David Garcia- he says he doesn't want to be pressured. He told us that he did not pray to know if the Book of Mormon is true. Yesterday we shared some scriptures about Cristo for Easter. We asked him to think of 3 things that he is going to do this week to accept Cristo and show Him thanks. He said that every day he is going to pray to know if the Book of Mormon is true. I know that he felt the spirit and that it was the spirit that told him what he needs to do.

Yesterday Mercedes, an inactive member told us that she wants her 10 year old daughter to be baptized. This is what she and her family need to reactivate and stay strong in the church.
I know that the Lord has his timing and even though i don't understand it sometimes He knows what is better for each one of us.

Luis- This week in Parque there was a lot of things happening with the baptism of Luis. We talked to him and he agreed with us that it would be best to postpone his baptism cause his parents didn't want him to get baptized and there wasn't peace in their home. He is going to stay strong and be patient.

Have a fantastic week!
Con amor,
Hermana Burr
