Elder Burton in Boston.


Elder Burton with The Hardmans
Elder Burton with his Mission president and wife

Just got off the phone with us.

what up my people?? Well im in Massachusetts and its so cool!!! I am called to the framingham Area and my companions name is Elder Ataide (A-Tie-E-Gee) He is from Brasil and he goes home in 6 weeks!! But it is way nice to have him as a companion!! He had to learn english here so he talks to me all the time in portugues so its awesome and he is a way cool Elder!! We live in the Old Ap's apt. and its the nicest in the mission so its sweet!!! we have an upstairs and a downstairs in our house so its sweet and we also have free weights down stairs like a bench and bars and bells so its fantastic. Oh and we have a tread mill so i'll be coming home ripped spirtitually and physically in 22 months hahah. Well we have some investigators here one his name is Denis and he has lived in Boston most of his life. ( no boston accent though) but he will most likely be baptised hopefully. We well I guess had another one name Fransis and He is a rapper from africa he kinda looks like a 50 cents, Dwayne Wade mix but skinner and we took him to church yesterday and he was sayin that he knew it was true and his heart was burning and then today he called and said to never come back to his house so it was really depressing! He has a baptisimal date for the 28 of Aug. so I was kinda bummed. Oh and I had a funny story so we were driving around the city going to an appointment and there was a car next to me so I decided to roll down my window and talk to him so I did and signaled ( I can't spell anymore) for him to roll down his window with my hand and he did so then I asked are you Religious and He proceded to roll back up his window without saying anything hahahah funniest thing ever!!! So Apparently that doesnt work!!! Oh and the Members here feed us like everynight its great!! we went to a house and the brother had a strong accent it was awesome and they fed us carrots and chicken legs and some nasty yellow potatoes that were like sweet it was sick and I had to finish them off so I had so much of it Yuck!!!! But yeah If you want to send me letters just send them to the mission office and they will send them directly to me that day so that is the easiest way!!! Waking us is getting harder I swear I just lay down when all the sudden 615 goes off it sucks but oh well so my P-days are on mondays so that will be good!!! I would like some addresses so I can send letters like anyone girls guys just people i would probably write you know who they are family. I think I'll send home a memory card but I dont have alot of time to take pictures believe it or not haha apparently we work all the time out here ;)! but as of now we have about 7 investigators but its really hard to catch them because they are always working because we are kind of in the more or less ghetto areas mostly because they are the humble ones who actually let us in!!! So Its pretty cool I've already experienced some good and bad things going on here!!! but yeah write me sometime anyone haha its good to hear from you all!! The plan ride was sick haha. Oh and I haven't taught much in portugues which was expected but my companion can understand everythign a person who speaks spanish can say so im pretty stoked about learning more!! but that is all I have write back

I love you all

este evangehlo e verdade eu sai com tudo meu corasao
