Oii,

Hello everyone. I hope everything is going well where you are. These last few days have been good. Elder Horrocks and I have been getting to know each other and he is a great guy. He has been out about 19 months and he is from cottonwood Utah. He speaks Portuguese really well and has a great accent in the language. He sounds like a Brazilian. He has served in all of my areas so it's amazing how well he speaks. We taught our investigators yesterday and it was a great lesson. I had to teach the English part which was kind of hard but it was fun. We taught them the first of the plan of salvation and it went really well.. They hopefully will come to church next week because this week she had to work and their car was broken so... couldn't come late. But this week their car should be fixed and they'll just come late. Also I had to translate again from portuguese to english in front of the branch yesterday. Ha ha it was interesting but fun. I didn't want to do it but I sucked it up and did it. We also visited with this L.A lady named Alice. She lost her baby that was born while I was here. He died the day after Easter. He was only 2 months old. It was super hard for her as I can imagine. I had to talk at the funeral in portuguese last sunday, and it was super challenging because I don't even know what to say in english. But I did it and she seemed happy with what I said. Anyways we went over last night to talk to her and she how she was doing. She is doing a lot better except she buzzed her hair all off. She seemed to be happier so that was good. She called me today and she wants to talk to President Brown tomorrow and She wasn't me to translate... which kind of scares me because it's confidential and i have to translate.. and I don't know if I have to skill nessisary to do it but.. we'll see. Other then that these last few days have flown by. I'm excited for this last transfer. I love being on the Vineyard and I'm excited to end here. I love you all and i'll talk to you next week.


Love,
Elder Jonny Burton
