TRUST IN THE LORD March 5, 2018

Good Morning!! 

This week has been an adventure week! We drove all the way down to Arkansas on Tuesday which was fun and then we've been working hard to find those who are prepared. Sister Najera is so great! We have been getting along so well! We understand each other I feel like and we both have the same goals for the area. We have been working on being exactly obedient with everything and it's been amazing to see the changes in us as we work on this together. It's a lot easier to do things when your companion wants to do them too :) She's also teaching me Spanish so that's awesome. 

 I was reading in 2 Nephi 4 one day and it hit me so hard. As I read verses 26 to the end I realized that was me! I was letting Satan discourage me and I started feeling bad for myself and the area, rather than trusting in the Lord. I was asking why me? Why this? Why? and these scriptures just brought me so much peace, because I didn't realize that I was letting Satan get to me. Now I am working on changing my mindset again. Trusting in the Lord isn't a one time thing. We need to continually be putting our trust in Him so that He can help us. We are to trust in Him forever. In verse 34 says, "O Lord, I have trusted in thee, and I will trust in thee forever." This was something I needed to hear to help me remember my purpose and remember that our reaction to the hard things makes all the difference. I choose to react by trusting in the Lord. I feel that I have been getting love for the Savior as I pray and read my scriptures. I am learning so much more about Him and what He desires for each of us. The more I learn about the gospel, the more I want others to know about it to. I hope to continue to work on serving the people out of love for the Savior. There is a poem called "Christ Has No Hands But Our Hands" and this is something that I think of often to remind me that Christ has no hands but our hands to do His work today. We are His hands, feet, and voice at this time and we can help bring others closer to Him. I know that I wouldn't feel this way about the people if I didn't love the Savior and want to help him first. 

I am so grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the happiness it brings us! I hope you all have a fantastic week! Thank you so much for all the support you give me! I love you all! :)

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...

CHRISTMAS EVERYDAY!! December 17,2108

Woohoo! It's almost Christmas!!! One of our favorite songs right now is Christmas everyday by David archuleta. It you haven't heard it, I encourage you to go listen to it and his whole album. Ah. So good! It's been an eventful week as well!  We had MLC in bentonville which is where we went and talked about plans for our zone conference and future district councils. It was so much fun! Sister Rosenberg was called to be the other sister training leader so we get to go to that meeting together and we were able to do exchanges all day Wednesday and I stayed in Prairie Grove. It was so cool!!! I got to see a lot of the people I love and miss from that area. It was a blast being able to see them and be in their homes again. We had zone conference on Thursday and it was so fun! Since its Christmas it was a 2 hour meeting and the rest was just games and a talent show. Super cool! There are a ton of talented missionaries here. There was singing, kickboxing, roller skating, piano...
