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 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...
