WHAT A WEEK! January 29, 2018

Hey Everyone!!

This week was an adventure that's for sure :) It started off a little rough, but we had a wonderful experience of getting a blessing from one of the Elders in our district. It was so nice being able to feel comforted by the Spirit. I have learned so much about blessings and that it is OKAY to ask for help. It's OKAY to ask for a blessing. The Lord loves us and wants to bless us. We just need to do our part and reach out to Him. 

 I am sorry I don't have much time to write, but one miracle story we had this week was we were walking from lunch to our place we do service and we had like 30 minutes before we had to be there. We weren't sure what to do, but we kept walking and then we looked to the left of us and there was a man walking in the parking lot. So my companion was here last year and was teaching this guy named Jim, and so she looked at the guy and said, "I think that's Jim!" We walked over and talked to him and it was him!! He said he had been trying to reach us for the last two weeks, but every time he went to the church no one was there. It was amazing that the Lord put him in our paths. He said he knew that God put us there for a reason and he is determined to figure out what that is. Now he's been coming to church and meeting with us and it has just been such an amazing blessing for us and for him. That is one of our miracles this week that I am so grateful to be a part of. The Lord really does help us in our lives, He guides us to where we need to be, we just need to be willing to do the things He asks of us. 

I love you all and hope you have a fantastic week! There is a mormon message called Good things to Come by Elder Holland and I love how he says, "Don't you quit!" There are still so many good things to come, we just can't give up. I hope you all can see that this week and know that the Lord loves you so much!! He hears your prayers and He is there for you, but don't you quit! :) 

Love, Sister Burton 

A crazy story for the week was my companion cut my hair and I cut hers!! It was so much fun and a lot of trust! haha but it looks great! It feels nice too not having the dead ends anymore :) 

We also went on exchanges with the Nevada sisters-So fun!! :)

Hey Y'all!!  This week was sooo good!! There are so many things that happened I don't know where to start. Last week on Pday we went to the Walmart Museum which was really cool! It was fun learning about the history, plus the best part was the ice cream at the end haha :) Then on Tuesday we went on exchanges and I went with Sister Buttars who is super funny and it was cool seeing her area of the mission. Funny story: One night this week we had dinner with a family and they didn't have dessert which we thought was great because we get fed so much. Then we went walking in a neighborhood visiting some members and we stopped at three houses. All three said, would you like a cookie?? So we had lots of cookies haha it was fun though. One of those houses was our mission president, because they are in our ward so that was fun :) Thursday we went to the mission office and got a Tiwi.. it's the thing that monitors our cars and ours has been broken until now. It took some gett...

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...
