Temple Tuesday November 13, 2017

Hey Friends!!

This week was so fun!! We had the amazing opportunity to go to the St.Louis temple this week! I loved it so much! I am so grateful we were able to go because we don't have on in our mission, but blessed with the best mission president :)

We also had a fun time with our zone this week and did interviews with our mission president and his wife. They are such great people with lots of advice for us missionaries, I love it!

Something amazing that happened this week was we had exchanges with the traveling sisters (they go around the mission visiting all the sisters) and so there were four sisters just in our area, but it was the busiest day of the week! We had so many lessons that with each companionship we didn't have any gaps of time. It was such a cool miracle because we were able to teach so many people and have such a great experience. I just thought that was so cool!

Another thing that I started this week was reading the Book of Mormon and just highlighting each time it says Christ's name and the phrases that go with it. I LOVE this! I am learning so much about Jesus Christ and his attributes. I did this because I wanted to be able to represent Christ the best way possible, and what better way then to learn more about who He was first so that I can strive to be more like him. Especially as we are coming up on this Christmas season. I hope you all are finding ways that you can become more like Christ and best represent Him back home :)

Also, the #Lighttheworld video comes out next Friday!! Make sure to be looking for it so you can see all the amazing things you can do this year! I'm so pumped for this and I hope you all are too! :)

I am so grateful for this opportunity that I have to be out here in Missouri sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with everyone. Thank you all so much for all your love and support!! I really appreciate it!

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

Sorry this is so short!! I hope you still feel the love I have for you all :)

Love, Sister Burton

SMALL AND SIMPLE January 21, 2019

Hello friends and family! It has been an adventure of a week, that's for sure! We had a super fun last night at Bob and Wanda's. Some of the people from Prairie Grove came down to hear me sing again. It was sad saying goodbye to everyone, but I know Heavenly Father has a plan for me. Then we went to the Senior center on Tuesday and delivered meals to 66 different houses! That was fun running around and giving people meals. They were a lot more open and excited to see us, that's for sure :) Haha! Then we had my last group lesson Tuesday night. We did the Book of Mormon experiment and had everyone take a page from the Book of Mormon and then highlight every time it mentions the Savior and things that stood out to you. We had an amazing discussion and everyone participated in it. So good!! Wednesday I packed and said goodbye to more people, I definitely miss Van Buren. But. Thursday I made it safely to MOUNTAIN HOME!! woohoo!! I met my new companion sister Chandler and she ...

ROUTE 66 April 25, 2018

This week we had Zone Conference and went on exchanges in Joplin again. It was a blast! We enjoyed learning so much from our mission president and his wife. Good things are happening and I love it! We talked a lot about personal revelation as well. It's very important for us to recognize how Heavenly Father speaks to us so that we can act on the things we are prompted to do. So many good things, I'm not even sure what to tell you! haha My wonderful companion and I went and played volleyball with our investigator, we just rode by and they were out playing so we joined them and Sister Najera went to hit the ball and I was talking with our investigator and she nailed me in the head. It was so funny! Luckily it was a soft ball, but it just reminded me of the times playing volleyball with the YSA back home. We also met the guy who owns the little Dairy King in commerce which is a landmark on Route 66. It was so cool! He had previously met with missionaries and has read the who...
