   What's up everybody!!! So sorry I've been so bad at writing emails!! These last few weeks have been the craziest weeks of my mission holyyyyy but it's been hard and awesome and fun and hard hahaha. 


   So two weeks ago I got transferred! I am now in Paraíba do Sul, a city in the state of Rio de Jaineiro. Also, I am finishing a training! My trainee is named Elder Hammer. Yes he is American hahaha he is from Idaho. The portuguese is definitely rough here but it's been an extremely blessed two weeks. Also there's a subway here so that's lit, it's the first thing I've tasted that tastes anything like America haha. Yea we've spent some money at subway. Also I a got hat 

    First day I got here we met with the Branch President, he asked me at 830 on a Saturday if I could give a short discurso(talk) of 25 minutes the next day in sacrement. I said yea I can probably figure something out. It was a wild first day I ran back to the apartment and started writing, my talk did have a lotttt of general conference quotes but I think it was good! 

    Also we had a baptism yesterday ! It was me and Elder Hammars first baptism on the mission and it was awesome. We baptized this beautiful family. Truly elects they are a family that became really good friends with a member in our brach. We got the privilege to be able to teach them! It was wild. It was my first time conducting a baptism and I honestly had no idea what I was doing so I kind of just pretended and it worked out. 

    There's no way I could have done the last three weeks of my mission without the lord helping me out. For real he has been carrying us and my testimony of Jesus Christ has gotten so much stronger, I know he lives. I know he's been at my side these last two weeks helping me. 

    I love you guys, thank you so much for the prayers they are being heard and answered! Thank you all so much! Let me know what I can do for you all, much love ❤️❤️❤️

What's up everybodyyy! Another good week here in brazilll. I'll be quick.    This week was super good we got to do some more Christmas stuff which was fun. A member in our ward has a band so this week, a bunch of the missionaries in our district and the district next to ours sung some Christmas songs to open a show they were playing. We definitely sounded pretty rough but it was fun! Spirit was strong! This week I also played my first hymn on the guitar for an investigator hahaha... it was good! Played silent night and Elder pike sung for us.     Other than that some highlights from this week were: I saw Santa driving down the street, cooked some popcorn, had some good juice, ate some good rice and beans, hung out w a bird, oh and I saw a toucan it was crazy.     Much love for you all hope you are doing well! Let me know how it's going!  Elder Burton

What's good everybody!  Merry Christmas! Christmas here was good! Was a little bit different but awesome.    This week I went on a long exchange to a  town called Leopoldina. I hung out with my boy Elder Budge all week he is awesome he is from San Clemente. We tried a different burger stand every night so that was fun hahaha. We also got super lost one day and walked throug h this dudes pig farm in the forest. Was kinda scary not gonna lie.    We spent Christmas with a Venezuelan family in our ward! It was awesome we had a venezuelan feast which was delicous. Honestly I don't have any idea what I ate but it was yellow and it tasted good! The members here have been super nice to us this Christmas so we spent a lot of time in people's houses and eating food. It's been a grandão blessing. Also we are at a churrascaria right now for Christmas and it is awesome.    Christmas was a little a lot warmer here but was a great time to remember the birth of J...
