SICKYPOO ON THE MISSION December 18, 2017

This week was an adventure! A lot of good things happened, but sadly I was also sick all week. I had a cold and cough that just made it a little difficult to talk which is hard being a missionary, but everything worked out the way it was supposed to and we had a fun week. We did lots of service and got to help the Coleman theater for a show they had. It was the first sold out show since the 50s so that was exciting! :) We also had a big lunch with the other missionaries near us, because it was our senior couple, Elder Chipman's birthday. They are so sweet and it was so fun being with the other missionaries. 

Another amazing thing that happened this week was we had a lesson with our investigator named Joseph. He's been loving meeting with us and learning more about the gospel, so this week we invited him to be baptized and he said yes! We are looking forward to helping prepare him to enter the waters of baptism in the new year. We also had two lessons with our truck driver friend James, who is getting baptized on the 30th of this month and he is awesome! We have been planning the baptism and he is so excited to become a member of the ward, it's fantastic! We have really been able to see the Lord's hand in our lives in this area this week and it's so amazing to see the people He is preparing! We've been getting a lot of referrals for people to teach and meet this week, so we are looking forward to meeting lots more people who are being prepared to hear the gospel :) 

Something we have been working hard on this week has been to Light the World. It's been so great seeing all the miracles and things that are happening as we go out and do those little acts of service each day. I know that through all our little efforts the Lord is blessing not only them, but us as well. It's through the small things that great things come to pass. Alma 37:6-7. 

I hope you have all been reaching out to those around you and enjoying the Christmas season! Every effort counts and is a blessing to someone else. I love and miss you all so much! I hope you have a blessed week and are looking forward to Christmas and celebrating the day of Christ's birth.

Don't forget to remember why this season is so special, and the true meaning of Christmas. 
Love, Sister Burton 


Sugar cookie season!

TRY IT!!! July 9, 2018

Hello Friends and Family! This week was super good! I learned a lot! We got to meet our new Mission President and his wife this week! yay! They are so sweet! I am very excited to be able to work with them, even though it is sad to see the Lovelands go, they were amazing. I'm President and Sister Strong will be too! One thing I learned from President Strong this week was to TRY IT. He talked a little bit about how you won't know unless you try. This really stuck out to me because it works so well with everything! Like, you never know if that person is going to be interested in the gospel unless you try talking to them, right? You don't know if you'll be good at something unless you try. I love this so much! I'm not sure why it clicked so well, but it did. and it's TRUE! We are here to TRY. We have been sent to earth and given the gift of agency to try things. To try to improve and be better. We can't become perfect at something unless we try. I am so g...

OKLAHOMA ADVENTURES November 27, 2017

Happy Thanksgiving!!!  I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving on Thursday ! My companion and I were nicely fed by our new Bishop and his family. It was so nice! It's been an adventure shotgunning this area with two new missionaries. The area is huge here, but the members are few. Also, we don't have a car yet and we aren't sure if we will get one and my bike is in Bentonville sadly so we will have to wait till the end of this week to get that. So right now we are walking! It's been fun though, because we've been able to talk to more people that way. However we can only walk around Miami and it's a lot of walking haha but I love being here! :)  My companion is Sister Knight and she's from South Ogden Utah and has been out 6 Months. She has been in three areas as well and we get along great! We've been really working hard to get to know all the members and get to know the area since we are both new and there haven't been missionaries since J...
