Nathan Burk is just about the luckiest kid in the entire world. The
WKM is the best mission in the world! (Tell Dad, Uncle Scott, and
everyone else that their missions are nearly as great as this one is!)
An sorry to say, but I am NOT in Washington right now; Oregon is the
place for me! I won't tell you quite yet where I am serving, I'll leave
that for the letter. The town's nick-name though is "Muddy-Frog Water,"
and there are not even any frogs around here! What the heck!!! It is a
nice community about the size of Round Valley with lots of apples,
cherries, grapes. There has been a fire somewhere around here because it
is very smokey (a lot like Round Valley was last year). I just take it
for the baptism by fire for this little town now that I have arrived!
Anyway, my trainer is Elder Trevor Olsen from Aroura, CO, and he is
doing a pretty amazing job considering who he has to train! Everytime
we go up to a door, I about sh...crap my pants. (I really knew what I
was saying, I was just making sure that you are still reading.) I think
that everyone here is religious somewhat, and so they like to listen to
us so they can try to rally us up, but most of them are nice about it.
So Elder Olsen and I came up with a plan. We are going to hold a Bible
Study and hope to teach people that we believe in the Bible too... just
not as "fully" as the Book of Mormon.\
It is very unusual for there to be 25 missionaries and 3 sisters
coming to a mission, but we do what we can. It was pretty awesome
because the plave was the size of a bus and so just about everyone in it
was a missionary!
You better tell me where everyone is going! Cade should get his
call any day now, and I pray extra hard for the WKM to pop up in his
call. He would love it up here. Anytime anyone recieves their call let
me know. Also I need to know who the Elks(both Varsity and 8th
grade) are playing! Losing to Window Rock 42-0 would be way worse than
losing to Blue Ridge. It just would.
My letters this week will probably be to the whole family because I
don't have as much time today. Sorry about that. Did you send those
letters to Elder Lopez? He could really use some (except the house he's
staying at is a mansion with a bowling alley, indoor/outdoor pool, ...).
Well there will be more to come this week and lots of work to do! Love
you lots!
P.S. Tell Elder Burk that WKM really stands for "We Know Miracles."
