How Can I Walk With Christ? November 6, 2017

HEY FRIENDS!! 

How is everyone doing?? This week has been so good here in Springfield Missouri! I hope the same for all of you! We started the week off with Halloween which was fun, we got to spend time with the members at Institute (Bible study class). Then we had exchanges with the sisters serving in Camdenton Missouri. It's fun because one of them just came out so I am no longer the greenest greenie out here anymore :)


One amazing that has happened this week is we had the Regional Broadcast yesterday! It was soo good! They talked a lot about missionary work and how can we go out and help serve others, I loved it. I loved how they all mentioned asking how can we serve in different ways. The one that stood out to me was "Lord, what wilt though have me to do?" I love this because it shows our willingness to do whatever the Lord would have us do and shows that we love and trust Him. One of the things we've been talking about this week is preparing for Christmas and the #Lighttheworld initiative which goes perfect with the inspiration we were just given to go out and serve others, because that's what Light the World is all about! I hope all of you are planning to do that this year, because I know it will be a huge blessing in your life and also in the lives of those you serve. It will also bring not only those you serve closer to Christ, but you as well :) 
Another thing that was talked about by Elder D. Todd Christofferson was to be diligent where you are with what you have. We are all in different places with different things, but we can all be diligent in what we do and we can help others by reaching out and standing firm in the gospel of Jesus Christ. I love that this is how we got to start off our week, focusing on others :) 


I'm sorry I don't have much time to email, but I hope you all know that I love and appreciate you all so much! I am so grateful for the love and support that you have all given me and I hope I can help return some of that love by sharing the miracles and experiences that I have been able to have on my mission. I am so happy to be able to be a missionary representing the Savior and helping others find out how they can walk with Christ. I know that as we apply the things that we have been taught and as we focus on serving others we can help them be on that path walking with Christ. I love this gospel and I love Missouri! I am a very happy missionary, I promise :) 

I hope you all have an amazing week! I love and miss you all! :) 

Love, Sister Burton 

I promise more pictures next week!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! December 24, 2018

It's been an adventure of a week!  It started with our fun skit lesson we did with the elders. We have a family that feeds us every Tuesday and her sister lives in the Alma ward and her niece is being taught by the Elders so they asked if we could all do a lesson together at the church so we did! We (missionaries) acted out the scene of 1st Nephi when they go and get the plates. It was so much fun! It was a great to bring the scriptures to life and they all loved it. Plus, I got to be Laman and Lemuel so that was fun. After the skit we had a discussion about the faith that Nephi had for them to get the plates and how Laman and Lemuel repented from rebelling and they had to act on their faith as well. It was really special because then the lady who feeds us, both of her sisters aren't members and they were talking about baptism and learning more as well. So amazing!!! It was a great night. We are going to have another big lesson with them on Wednesday and I'll let y...

CHRISTMAS EVERYDAY!! December 17,2108

Woohoo! It's almost Christmas!!! One of our favorite songs right now is Christmas everyday by David archuleta. It you haven't heard it, I encourage you to go listen to it and his whole album. Ah. So good! It's been an eventful week as well!  We had MLC in bentonville which is where we went and talked about plans for our zone conference and future district councils. It was so much fun! Sister Rosenberg was called to be the other sister training leader so we get to go to that meeting together and we were able to do exchanges all day Wednesday and I stayed in Prairie Grove. It was so cool!!! I got to see a lot of the people I love and miss from that area. It was a blast being able to see them and be in their homes again. We had zone conference on Thursday and it was so fun! Since its Christmas it was a 2 hour meeting and the rest was just games and a talent show. Super cool! There are a ton of talented missionaries here. There was singing, kickboxing, roller skating, piano...
