#BECAUSE OF HIM March 12,2018

Hey y'all!! I hope this week was fantastic for everyone! 

We had a really good week! We got to go on exchanges in Joplin, which I got to be with Sister Tillotson! She was my first companion in the mission (my trainer) so that was way fun working with her again! We've had a lot of fun using our technology to help the work progress in this area. It's so great!! 

We had a miracle just yesterday. We decided to go try a few of the potentials that we had just put in the area book app on our phones. We rode our bikes which was great being able to be seen by lots of people.It's so fun waving at them, because you get some pretty funny looks when you are riding a bike, in the cold, wearing a skirt haha. Then we knocked on some of the doors and then we had one more person on the map in that area to try. His name is Matt and we knocked on the door, it was a younger girl who answered and said he didn't live there anymore, but after we told her who we were she invited us in right away! So cool! We met her boyfriend Angel, who had grown up going to the LDS church with his grandma who is a member. His mom and some of his siblings got baptized and they always had the missionaries over. They were very open with us and they had both just moved there together and are looking for a way to build their foundation on Christ. The girl, her name is Marriah (how fun is that! She really spells it with two R's though, that wasn't a mistake) :) and she sais she wanted to learn more and said we could come back whether or not Angel was there. It was an amazing experience, because we were one, able to use our technology to find those potentials on the map and two, we were ale to find those who were prepared and ready to hear the gospel. We share the #Because of Him video with them and gave them both a Book of Mormon. We are so excited to start teaching them! I know that the Lord with help us when we do ACT on our FAITH. I'm so grateful for this experience, because it really has strengthened my testimony in knowing that there are people out there waiting to hear the gospel, we need to make sure we are doing our part to find them. 

The video #BecauseofHim is amazing and I know that Because of Him, we truly can start again and the grave has no victory. I am so grateful that we are out here sharing this message! Being able to take a minute and think about what the Savior has done for each of us individually is just amazing! Everything He went through was for us so that we can return to live with Him again someday. I love this gospel soo much! I am so grateful for our Savior, Jesus Christ who went through so much so that we don't have to go through it alone. 

Sister Najera and I are having lots of fun together! It's been great watching the work progress! I love being out here in Oklahoma and I love being a missionary! 

Thank you so much for all your love and support! I hope you have a wonderful week! 

Love, 
Sister Burton

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! December 24, 2018

It's been an adventure of a week!  It started with our fun skit lesson we did with the elders. We have a family that feeds us every Tuesday and her sister lives in the Alma ward and her niece is being taught by the Elders so they asked if we could all do a lesson together at the church so we did! We (missionaries) acted out the scene of 1st Nephi when they go and get the plates. It was so much fun! It was a great to bring the scriptures to life and they all loved it. Plus, I got to be Laman and Lemuel so that was fun. After the skit we had a discussion about the faith that Nephi had for them to get the plates and how Laman and Lemuel repented from rebelling and they had to act on their faith as well. It was really special because then the lady who feeds us, both of her sisters aren't members and they were talking about baptism and learning more as well. So amazing!!! It was a great night. We are going to have another big lesson with them on Wednesday and I'll let y...

GO HOGS!! August 1, 2018

I am staying here in Prairie Grove AR-Kansas with Sister Rosenberg another 6 weeks! woot woot! I am so excited because we have amazing people we are working with and it's been such a fun companionship!! It'll be a great 6 more weeks!  This week we were in a town in our area that we don't get to spend very much time in, just once a week and we weren't sure what to do. So we prayed and felt that we should walk to go see this less active member and then after go try a former person who was being taught. It was amazing to see the miracles come from that. We walked to the member's home and she said it was a miracle that we even caught her at that time, they just got home and were only staying for a little bit before leaving again. It was so cool!! We wouldn't have been able to see her if we would've driven because we would've gotten there before they were there. After that we went to visit the former and we pulled up and they were outside so we got out...
