PAR-TAY IN AR-KAY May 21, 2018

Hey everyone! 

I hope you are all doing well! Sister Wamsley's birthday was on Saturday and we had a member who asked us to come teach her fiance's daughter, which we are already teaching her fiance so we thought that would be a wonderful opportunity for us to teach his daughter. We went over to their house and they opened the door with little streamer things and whistles singing happy birthday. It was so cute! They had a whole cute pineapple and cactus theme party ready for sister Wamsley. They lied about the lesson just to get us over there. It was really fun though. :)

We were out looking for the members on our list from our relief society president and we stopped by the Patterson's home.(Our relief society pres. asked us to try by a list of sisters who we didn't know anything about). Brother Patterson was so sweet and surprised to see sisters, but he let us in to visit with him and his wife. We were able to talk to them about their conversion story and minister to them. It was amazing timing, because she hasn't been feeling well and he's not there all the time, but we were able to visit with both of them. We are excited to go back and continue working with them. Then, right after that we went to try a few more people and I saw a potential investigator who lived nearby so we went and ended up meeting the potentials sister who was interested! She has had many missionaries visit her and teach and now she feels she is looking for Jesus Christ's church and we were able to promise her blessings and set up a time for us to come back and share this message with her and her family. It was amazing seeing these people who have been prepared. This made me think of how we may not always see the fruit from our seeds, but as we are obedient missionaries, working hard to do what we can, it will affect the people in the area we are in. Then, later down the line future missionaries will have the opportunity to either teach those people who had been prepared or help the next family come back to church. This is such a comfort to me, because as I am trying to be the best missionary Heavenly Father wants me to be, we will be able to help this area and continue in this chain of serving others. 

I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a missionary and to share the good news with the people in Arkansas! Thank you for all your love and support! I am doing great and loving the work. I hope you all have a FANTASTIC week! 

Love, Sister Burton

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

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
