"Be Still and Know that I am God" and Last Missionary Email

¡Hola a todos! 

Well, this is my last email being in the Mission Argentina Córdoba, because next week there's transfers and pday will be on Thursday and I’ll be super busy getting everything ready to head out the next day in the morning! I'm so grateful for all the things that I've learned on the mission because all those lessons are the things that are going to drive me forward through my life and through His atonement I will find strength in my Savior Jesus Christ! I know he is there always and will be there through the ups and downs. 

I titled this email "Be Still, and Know That I Am God" because this scripture came into my mind while I was studying a couple days ago, and I realized that this scripture is so important to remember as my mission is coming to an end, the ability to Be Still will be so helpful as I make the transition into the world again. This last week our friend Alexis was able to watch stake conference so he'll be able to be baptized this next Sunday! When he accepted the baptismal date I knew he was elect, and he doesn't have any problem keeping the commandments, so he's super ready to be baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ! 

I love you all so much, and I'm so grateful for all your prayers! I pray that you all have a great week and we'll be seeing each other soon! 

¡Hasta Pronto!

Stake Conference

¡Hola a todos!

These last few weeks were pretty good! I've been loving my time here in San Jorge. It's such a beautiful town and the people are quite friendly. I'm glad to be finishing here. 

We have stake conference this upcoming Sunday and we wanted to help some of the converts/members receive the Priesthood so that San Jorge could be made into a branch but I don't think we're going make it sadly. About two weeks ago we were able to complete and achieve all of our goals for the week which was hype and out of nowhere a family of 3 pulls up at church, we didn't even know them because they talked to the other Elders that were here before us. 

It was definitely a tender mercy and it was an amazing sacrament meeting. These last few days we've been watching some older firesides/meetings when Elder Bednar came to Argentina. I've definitely learned a lot about what agency really is and how we can deepen our conversion to the Lord. Also, about two weeks ago we had zone conference and I had the opportunity to share my testimony which was a bitter sweet moment as it was my last zone conference in Córdoba. But I am going strong...., I could say that I'm in the final sprint to the finish but also at the beginning of something even bigger. 

I couldn't be more happy to have spent this time learning more about my Savior, Jesus Christ and teaching and guiding others to do the same.

I really hope everyone has a great week and take care! 

Love Elder Burbank
