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!!!

Email from 12/29/08

Things are going really good here, we are getting ready to wrap up the month and the year in the zone and mission so we are super busy with paper work and getting goals ready for the 2009 year, our mission has changed soo much in just one year, it is really neat everything that is happening, i am excited for our zone leader council this weekend in orlando, as we review our goals and outcome from 2008, i am excited for what 2009 is going to hold!
I love the Christmas season, i just get frustrated with the work during it! The week of Christmas is soo hard to set return appts to teach people, because all of them say "after the holidays", so this week should be really really good for all of the appointments we set! Last night we taught a big group of spanish guys and we set two baptismal dates for january! We have alot more dates to set for this coming month, so things are looking really good for this next transfer! Speaking of next transfer, we got transfer calls this last saturday and Elder OBrien is leaving, he is being released as a zone leader and is going to southern orlando, it was crazy how fast this transfer went by, when i look back to this transfer it is going to be like a blink! I found out that my new companion is Elder Green :-) this will be his first transfer as a zone leader, so it will be fun going through the ropes with him, i have never met him or even seen him before, so tomorrow i get to meet him! But President told me that he is a solid missionary and that he is on fire right now! So things are going to be awesome this transfer!
