Tyler Mission News

Hello my family and friends, I am still aline in Brazil. Please pardon my absence, I have not been very good at writing emails!  But I have been having some awesome experience! I had the chance recently to go from a tiny 20 person branch to a ward with more than 100 people. Very different places and I have learned so much in each, these past months we have seen many miracles! I currently am in Volta Redonda, RJ. Home to Latin America's largest Steel Factory. It's kind hard to breath! I think the biggest take away I've had from the last couple months is that sometimes in life, God's plan is way different than ours, I know he loves us, he really wants us to come home. I have seen that in so many ways. Anyways I love you all! Please forgive my silence, I will attach some photos and send me an email if you want!  -Elder Burton 

    Whats up everyone!! Sorry it has been a while since i have written an email, just want to let you all know im doing great here In três corações! This week we had the baptism of Emily, she is super sick she is a friend of a recent convert.      The members here are really awesome, it has been super fun to work with them. This week we are gonna do a kite festival at the church so im pretty stoked on that,      I have definitly learned this transfer not to compare myself with other people, the only thing that matters is our efforts to be a good follower of Jesus Christ, i know god lives and loves us, love you all, send me an email!! 

Subject:  Hello everybody What's up all my friends in family, I am still in Brazil! Life is good! We have had some pretty sweet success here in Juiz de Fora,  I love our recent converts here, one of the favorite parts of my week are when we go to this lady's house that was recently baptized.

   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 ...

What up everyone.... made it to 2023 in Brazil! These past few weeks have been good! Not too much to tell been pretty standard weeks    The new year has been good here! We spent New years with the bishop and his wife. They are so awesome they gave us some great food. The bishop here is really funny and sung us a ton of songs on his guitar. The new year has begun with rain, hahaha it has not stopped raining in 7 days. Right now we have some awesome people in our teaching group. One of our investigators named Isaías is getting baptized this week! One night we climbed the hill to his house in the rain and I was soaked, he ended up giving me this dope sweatshirt so that is sick. He's awesome and I'm super stoked for his babtism ! Other than that I ate some venezualan food (no idea what it was but it was good), I ate some açai (a lot), I lost a bet, also I get to wake up every morning to my comp lifting weights while laying in his bad, truly the good life.  Much love for you a...

   What's good everybody!! Another good week not too much to tell... over all we had a solid week so I'll just give some highlights and some pictures...    On Monday we kinda had a tough day, it was some sort of Holliday here and nobody wanted to talk to us hahah, we did a ton of street contacts but didnt really meet anyone too interested. On our way home we decided to hold hands and pray with some homeless people in the rain... turned my day right around haha, they were all awesome people.    Other than that I saw a huge lizard, made some pancakes, bought some Christmas lights, ate some acai, taught some awesome lessons, and more. In our teaching group we have a ton of awesome people that could definitely progress so that is super exciting... also my homie wemmerson agreed to be baptized this week on our first contact, we gotta get him to church tho. Good stuff!!       It's really flying by and been awesome... Love you guys!!! Let me k...
