Hello Family,

So this week was pretty good. We finally got to meet with our Investigators Eliezer and Simone. It was good because it had been over a week easily. We taught them some English and more about prayer. He said he would come to church with us and even give us a ride so we wouldn't have to use the bus but she couldn't because of work. Well.... ha ha he didn't come to church and we had to use the bus :( but it happens. I'm not sure at home interested they are in learning and progressing in the Gospel as much as they are with English. We also had Zone Meeting this week was is always great because we get to see tons of missionaries in our zone and I got to see Elder Dos Santos and Elder Wright. It was really good to talk with both of them. And this week we have Zone Conference along with District Meeting which kind of stinks in the fact we will be off island from Tuesday night until Friday afternoon. But it's always sweet to get together with all the missionaries. I am actually on a "tour" or "split" at the moment so I wont be on island a day longer than that. We had the whole District come over for P day and we went to the Gay Head Cliffs. Ya they're sweet even in the name is kind of weird ha ha ha. The cliffs are made all of clay and they start to melt when it gets hot... it's super weird but sweet. As some of you have commented yesterday was my last fast and testimony meeting in the mission and it was amazing. I got up and bore my testimony and I just felt so happy and sad at the same time. Happy that I have served a mission but kind of sad to leave the members I love so much out here. It ended up being a very spiritual meeting with the emphasis being on me which was kind of the members here. I will be skyping this weekend with you all and I'm super stoked :) :) :) first time i've seen you in quite a while right? he he I don't want any comments and my fatness ;) jk jk but i will most likely be calling around 5 here so about 3 there if that is alright. I love you all so much and I can't wait to see your beautiful faces!!

Amo todos voces te cuida,

Elder Jonathan Burton
