Here is what Sean said in his last email:

"s'-Hertogenbosch and the rest of my area has about 600,000 people in it. And only two missionaries. But we don't really cook much. We just eat sandwiches and with members. My apartment has a bedroom, bathroom, and a kitchen/living area. My companion has been out a year. The members cook some wierd food. It's very common to just make mashed potatoes and then mix everything in that. Such as carrots, saur crout, spek(disgusting bacon-y stuff), etc. It's gross. But there's also some good things too. The weather is cold, extremely humid, and no rain yet except the first day. We ride our bikes alot. I have already biked 115 miles! and we always lock our bikes. They get stolen alot. We have about 60 people in our ward, we aren't a branch. Sundays consist of church and then regular missionary stuff."

It costs $.90 to mail a letter and takes 2 weeks to get there. If you would like to mail something to Sean, i.e. food, letters, etc., email my mom at knb520@hotmail.com and she can accumulate stuff and mail it together.

Elder Burton's New Address in the Netherlands

Here is what Elder Burton said about his new address:
"All packages must be sent to the Mission Home address and letters can be sent there too but it will take 5-10 extra days for me to get them. My apartment address right now is Boschveldweg 27E 5211-VH 's-Hertogenbosch Nederlands. If you send packsges, use DHL, i think it's faster."

Elder Burton's going to the Netherlands!

Today, Sunday February 3, will be Elder Burton's last night at the MTC! He flys out tomorrow to begin his mission. He is very excited to be headed out and begin his missionary work! The MTC has been hard, but he seems to have enjoyed being there and feeling the Spirit and learning more about the Gospel. He has been somewhat injury plagued, being the accident prone kid that he is, but thanks to a priesthood blessing, he is able to continue his service.

His email address is Sean.Burton@myldsmail.net.

Letters and Packages can be sent to:
