I am in fact still alive, Haha!

¡Hola a todos! 

It's been a while since my last email, about a month, yikes. But all in all, I'm doing pretty good!! We already had transfers again and Elder Martínez left to the office, my new companion is Elder Despain from Arizona and he's got 18 months on the mission. Which would be my first companion in a long time that has more than a year. 

During these past few weeks we had the baptism of Luna on February 11th and the confirmation on February 18th. It was a great baptismal service and her parents were able to be there as well! 

Also, these last two weeks we were stuck in the apartment not able to leave because Elder Martínez wasn't able to walk since he's had serious knee pain. But now with the my new companion were gonna start back up working everyday! 

But I hope everyone has a great week! 

Love Elder Burbank

Una Buena Semana

¡Hola a todos! 

Great week this week! We had the confirmation of Daniel and this next coming week we have the Baptism of Luna! Also, this last week our friends Patricia and Eduardo are super close to getting married! They just need to wait for their birth certificates to arive and then they can schedule an apointment for the marrige! Afterwards they can get baptized!! Vamoss! 

We also had zone conference this week which was great as always! I was able to remember a lot of great things that we kinda of stopped doing as a mission and we're hyped to start using the members lists and  working with more of the members in the area. 

At church yesterday we had fast and testimony meeting and a lot of the youth shared their testimonies because they had FSY this last week, however the last testimony given was from our friend Jorge, both of his kids got baptized about a month ago before I got here and he gave a super sincere and humble testimony about how grateful he his to be able to come to the church of Jesus Christ. There were many tears shed from him and many of the members in the branch. He's super awesome and him and his girlfriend just need to get married before they get baptized. 

Tomorrow we are headed to the temple in the morning which I'm super stoked about because I haven't been to the temple in about a little more than a year so it'll be good. 

But I hope everyone is doing great! 

Love Elder Burbank

4) We were looking for houses that were for Rent because a family from Mongolia wants to move into the branch! They don't speak spanish but they speak decent english so it's definitly hard for them to be here. But it's something new. 

Bautismo de Daniel!!!

¡Hola a todos! 

This week was sooo good, and filled with miracles! Our friend Daniel got baptized this last Sunday, he's a man in a wheel chair and he was so happy to finally be able to be baptized! Daniel can stand up but he can't walk because he has very little feeling on the left side of his body. It was a very cool experience helping him walk down the stairs into the baptismal font. The branch president baptized Daniel and me and another member were in the font with the branch Pres. to help Daniel through out the whole experience. We put a small stool in the font so that Daniel was able to sit down and be more comfortable. 

This week we also invited a girl to be baptized February 10th and she said, yes! Her parents have been listening to the discussions and they've gone to church twice now but they aren't married so they can't get baptized just yet. They names are David , Claudia , and Luna. Please pray for them! 

There's also another couple that are preparing everything so that they can get married and then baptized!! They've gone to church about 9 times already and they're literally the best! Super nice and loving! Pray for Patricia and Eduardo as well. 

There's literally so much people living in the same neighborhood just houses behind houses, it's lit! Tons of people to be able to teach! 

But that's about it this week, I just wanted to say that I know Jesus Christ lives and He is our Savior and Redeemer! I love you all!
