MIAMI IS MY NEW HOME March 28, 2018

Hey Y'all!! 

I'm staying another 6 weeks here in Miami Oklahoma!! YAY!! With Sister Najera so that will be so much fun!! We will continue to learn Spanish and help this ward grow! I'm so excited about it :)  I told the Bishop I was staying another 6 weeks and he just asked if he should find me a home to live in so I can just stay forever. haha it was so funny! 

This week was pretty great! We found some new Hispanic investigators from Honduras and they are so sweet! It's been a blast learning Spanish and being able to teach them. :)

This week we had a neat experience with having members involved and having investigators reach out to us. A while ago we gave an investigator a break to determine what he desires, because every time we would schedule an appointment he wouldn't answer the door when we came and we couldn't seem to stay in contact. But then the other day he reached out and contacted us and wanted to meet again. We had dinner with a member and asked if she would come to a lesson with us before hand and she said yes. We went and it was a wonderful lesson. We were able to answer his questions about Prophets and invite him to watch General Conference with us. He really wants to come to church and change his life so we are going to be working a lot with him which will be good. It was a testimony builder for me, because it helped me see how important having the member there is and how people have so many questions, but they might not know how to ask or where to ask. It made me realize that we have the answers for those who are questioning and we just need to open our mouths and share that message with them. As well as you the how to begin teaching points to help them understand our purpose and invite them to ask questions. It's amazing how the Lord prepares the people in so many different ways. I love it! 

Our mission President talked about Meekness today and I think meekness is one of the ways we show Heavenly Father how much we love Him. As we develop this trait, we have the desire to do His will and that comes from love. I am working on acquiring this trait through prayer. I am working to show Heavenly Father that I am here and praying for help to open my mouth so that when experiences arrive I can share with those around me. Then I try to remember to report back at night what happened. 

I am so excited for General Conference!! I hope you all are too! It's going to be amazing!! I hope you all get a chance to watch/listen to it. I know that Heavenly Father can answer all our questions through the Prophets and when we listen with an open heart and mind. 

Thank you so much for all your support!! I hope you all have a fantastic week! 
Love, Sister Burton

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
