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

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!!

Soo yea I did the mtc, it twas quite chill, I learned soooo much.... I made a ton of great friends, laughed a ton, and I even learned a bit about the good word of of the gospel too hahah. I have also been studying the much more difficult words of Portuguese... it's coming along!! (I think)      My days here consist of class, class, rice and beans, more rice and beans, studying, general shenanigans with my district, and devotionals that occasionally inspired me to close my eyes (not sleep, just deep pondering)....        Some of the  highlights of my week is when my district hits the showers and does a choir practice, we have received many compliments throughout the ctm on our angelic singing voices. Also I have taken up the yoyo courtesy of elder Cook (I'm qui...
