Oi Gente,

Well I don't know but this last week we were all waiting and anticipating the T-text! And we'll the news is in haha...... I'm getting transfered. Im heading to an area called Martha's Vinyard. It's an Island off of Massachusetts where Obama goes on vacation. It's a pretty tough area but I am super stoked to go. The reason it is tough is the following. 1. It's a huge tourist area so if you find people, they usually leave. 2. We're heading into spring and summer and there are a lot of beaches and beautiful women. 3. There is no fast food or stuff like that because it is a tourist island. But I'm super excited and it will probably be my last area. In other news an Elder that i've been living with.. (Elder Evans) is going zone leader. He is a great guy and he just got put in without being a DL. I love it because I know for a fact he has not been going for leadership and that is how its suppose to be. He is a great guy and I'm excited for him. Despite how much this area has been a giant stepping stone I am going to miss all the wonderful members of our branch! They really have helped me to speak and teach better in different languages..., ( I still stink but it is what it is :) ) I'm going to be living in a 2 Elder appartment with and Elder named Elder Packer. I don't know anything about this Elder except he served in Brazil for 4 months then got moved here. It should be a good transfer and I don't think I've ever been so excited to go work somewhere :) but anyways yesterday we had a spiritual thought at our members house named the Cruz family. We talked a lot about service and I had to stop and think about all the experiences I've had with service and how it really is a huge part about our purpose here. The Lord said the second greatest commandment is like unto it, love thy neighbor as thyself. As we look for unplanned service opportunities are lives are enriched with the love of the savior and we too can understand the role of our savior better. I love you and can't wait to hear from you.

Love,
Elder Burton
