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...

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

It was with two other zones so I gotta see some of the homies from my ctm district. We had a dope training and then we played a white elephant game. I bought a sick plant for the people. Also Elder muchocho got transfered sadly, it's all good tho because now I'm with my boy Elder nascimento. He is so funny so its gonna be a good transfer.    Other than that some of my highlights from the last two weeks have been: taking a Pic with a flock of capivaras, the food at our zone conference, 3 promising investigators in sacrement, division with Elder Pike, made a cake, ate a pizza, and more.     We learned a ton in zone conference about how the Savior can work miracles in our work and lives. Christ loves us infinitely and his hand is always stretched out to help us. Life is hard ...

   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...
