Hey Friends and Family!! 

This week has been so good over here in Miami! We are working so hard to find more people to teach and it's been so fun. This week we had our Zone conference and stake conference and they were both amazing! I had to teach a little bit in zone conference which was scary, but it went well so that's good :) I am learning so much! It's been a good week full of information that I am learning about how to be a better missionary and how to help the people in my area. Sister Najera is doing fantastic! It's been so fun training her and helping her learn more about missionary life. It's exciting :) She also makes me Mexican food which is such a great bonus and blessing! haha 

Stake Conference was amazing! President Tillman from the stake spoke and he talked about preparing to pray. I had never really thought much about this, but the way he talked about it made me want to focus on what I am praying for more and how I am preparing myself to pray. He said that we can prepare  to pray by being humble and obedient and pondering on the needs of others. I thought this was really good, because sometimes we don't think, we just pray. But taking a minute to focus on others and the reasons why we are praying is so important. Then President Willis of the Seventy came and he mentioned that God has not ceased to be a God of miracles. This touched my heart, because we are working to find those who are prepared in our area and as we follow the counsel that was given and ponder the needs of the people and pray for them with real intent, God will be able to help us. Also, remembering that God doesn't cease to be a God of miracles brings me hope that as we pray, He will help us find those who are ready to hear the gospel. One thing I have learned recently to remember the Savior was also during Stake Conference. President Willis talked about slowing down next time we go to the temple and focusing on our Savior Jesus Christ. I have learned that when we do this, even when we aren't in the temple, we can understand His role in our lives as well as our purpose to help Him. I know that as we forget ourselves and remember our Savior, we will be comforted and know of the love the Savior has for each of us. I am so grateful for this knowledge and I hope to continue to set apart time to stop and focus on the Savior and the things He has done for me individually.

I am learning so much and having such a wonderful time! I know that God has not ceased to be a God of miracles and as we are trusting in Him, and acting on the things we pray for, He will continue to bring about miracles in our lives. I love and miss you all so much! Thank you for all of your support! :) 

I hope you all can notice the miracles in your life this week and take time to remember the Savior and what He has done for you. 

Love, Sister Burton 



Sorry I don't have any pictures this week! I've been slacking on the selfies! But next week I'll have lots :)

FIREFLIES AND RAIN! May 29, 2018

Hello friends and family!!  This week was so good! We had a lot of fun and visited a LOT of people! It was fantastic! The members here are so good to us and really do want to help, so we are working hard with them to help them become even greater missionaries :) It rained a lot at the beginning of the week, but it was fun knocking on peoples door in the rain. We got into a couple houses because of it :) At night the fireflies all come out and it is so AMAZING! There are lots of fields here that are just full of them and it is so cool to see at night. Fun story, so today we got to do a little photo shoot with one our members and her 3 year old son. It was so much fun! Sister Wamsley was a wedding photographer before the mission so she has skills to do it. We took pictures of them making/eating spaghetti and cutting cabbage. It was cute. We were asked to do it for our Mission Presidents wife to use for the family history booth they have in Bentonville. It was really cool

BLESSINGS January 7, 2019

This week was so good and full of blessings! It started with New years eve at Bob and Wanda's. We went and they had all kinds of party toys to celebrate the new year. There were lots of people and as we were sitting there talking with our recent convert and his family (people we are trying to teach) and then these people behind saw us and talked to us for a minute and then later that night they gave us their phone number and addresses and told us to stop by soon. It was amazing!  Tuesday we had interviews with our mission president and his wife and it was wonderful. It's so good being able to talk to them. We can tell how much they truly love and care about us which is super good. That night we had our big group lesson and we were on exchanges so I took our greenie that's down here and it was such a great lesson! At first, it was crazy and chaotic. There were so many people and lots of different t conversations at once. But after we said we would like to share a messag
