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!

Mariah is serving in the Arkansas Bentonville Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She entered the MTC in Provo on Wednesday, August 9, 2017. She will return in February of 2019. She will serve for 18 months. She is so excited to be out there serving and teaching. She gets to write home on her Preparation Day which is usually on Mondays.  I will post the group letter she writes each week along with the pictures she includes. Her pictures haven't been visible to everyone in her emails so this will be a place to see it all. She loves to receive letters and emails and I've listed her addresses below. We are so proud of Mariah and her service. We miss her terribly but know that she is in the best place and in the best hands for this time of her life. We love you, Sister Burton!

  Hey Everyone!!  This week and half have been so good and so crazy!! So it's transfer week and I am being transferred to Springfield Missouri in the YSA ward. I am so excited about it! It's going to be sad leaving everyone here in Sugar Creek, but I'm looking forward to a new adventure with my new companion Sister Sanders :)  Last week on Pday we went to Crystal Bridges which is a very popular art museum here and it was beautiful. If you like art, keep that place in mind to visit one day. Then we had some sisters from Missouri come down for exchanges since Sister Tillotson is their training leader. That was a hoot with all four of us there. Cool story on this exchange: Sister Lloyd and I were together and we went to visit with three potential investigators that everytime sister T and I went they weren't home and guess what?? They were all home!! It was so awesome getting to talk with them and share a scripture. We had return appointments and we've started t...
