the 17

hello family and friends of elder michael barton how are you all doing i hope your week went well with more warm weather and trying to look cool by braking windows and getting cool scars...thats an awesome story. my week went fairly well it went all the same seeming as how i did not change areas nor companions so all was normal for me haha i actually like being with companions for 2 changes it doesnt stop the work from progressing and the second change always flys by haha me and elder morales get along suprisingly well we share a lot of the same ideas of the world and music and just how life is so its pretty cool im still kinda pushin him a little to work harder cause he has so much more potential as a missionary but he will get there i am pretty sure of it we actually had a fantastic week in terms of the work here in uruguay we had a ridiculous amount of lessons with members and just about all of our investigators came to church. including we got a text from the assistants saying way to go haha so it was a really super good week and a great way to start off the change we are expecting about 9 baptisms this change if everything goes smooottthhh so thats always a mega plus. i got the shoes thank you so much i guess even though i didnt need them i gave them to a member and he was super happy and excited to recieve a new pair of shoes so thank you for your service sue haha you will reap in some crazy cool blessings for that one haha. but yeah really i dont know what to say everything is good i am expecting another awesome week and just waiting for general conference to roll around it seems like the other day i was sitting in young watching it with elder brown but another 6 months has come and gone. elder morris left the mission this last week he is a super good buddy of mine that i met out here and lived with in salto so i hope to run into him when i get home and i was super sad to see him go not gonna lie haha but what can ya do. the weather here is still fairly hot at night it gets a little chilly but no complaints coming out of my mout. and yeah so i guess we will see how this next week goes we are expecting a baptism from a lady that just really accepted the gospel super well and is really excited to get baptized she has a crazy amount of faith in jesus and shows it every sunday by walking about 18 blocks to church haha so that she be a pretty awesome baptism this next saturday but yeah thats about it from elder barton i hope all is doing well i love you all, keep it real. be humble. elder barton
