Florida or Bust!

As a family, we have decided to walk the distance from Bennington to Orlando, Florida before Elder Burdick completes his mission. Together we hope to have walked 2298 miles before October 2009. And maybe be a size or two smaller!! Thank you Lara for up-dating our count down. Start Walking!!!

We received this 10/20/08

It was another amazing week here! First off, on Wednesday night we had an investigator fireside in Orlando as part of Elder Johnson, of the seventy) (the british one), as part of his mission tour, we were able to go out there with a member and take beth ryan to it, it was amazing, it was one straight hour of spiritual power, it was crazy i was actually exhausted afterward, he just laid it all out on the line! Then on friday we had our zone conference down in Palm Bay, for all of the south missionaries, It was amazing, General authorities are definently different when they arent behing the general conference pulpit, Elder Johnson has such a great personality! It was such and spitiual and fun zone conference, he kept calling people at random to do things, and he called me up and said Elder Burdick, bear us your testimony, my heart started to beat, and so i said a little prayer in my heart, and all of a sudden everything was sooo calm, like i was on the beach or something! Words were put in my mouth! After zone conference he met with the zone leaders, there were only four of us for the south, so it was just us and Elder Johnson and President Darrington in a room, that was awesome as well, i got to have a great conversation with him and being a missionary and he gave me some great advice, i got a picture with him to, that i will try to send asap.
