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

SMALL AND SIMPLE January 21, 2019

Hello friends and family!  It has been an adventure of a week, that's for sure! We had a super fun last night at Bob and Wanda's. Some of the people from Prairie Grove came down to hear me sing again. It was sad saying goodbye to everyone, but I know Heavenly Father has a plan for me. Then we went to the Senior center on Tuesday and delivered meals to 66 different houses! That was fun running around and giving people meals. They were a lot more open and excited to see us, that's for sure :) Haha! Then we had my last group lesson Tuesday night. We did the Book of Mormon experiment and had everyone take a page from the Book of Mormon and then highlight every time it mentions the Savior and things that stood out to you. We had an amazing discussion and everyone participated in it. So good!! Wednesday I packed and said goodbye to more people, I definitely miss Van Buren. But. Thursday I made it safely to MOUNTAIN HOME!! woohoo!! I met my new companion sister Chandler and she ...

ROUTE 66 April 25, 2018

This week we had Zone Conference and went on exchanges in Joplin again. It was a blast! We enjoyed learning so much from our mission president and his wife. Good things are happening and I love it! We talked a lot about personal revelation as well. It's very important for us to recognize how Heavenly Father speaks to us so that we can act on the things we are prompted to do. So many good things, I'm not even sure what to tell you! haha  My wonderful companion and I went and played volleyball with our investigator, we just rode by and they were out playing so we joined them and Sister Najera went to hit the ball and I was talking with our investigator and she nailed me in the head. It was so funny! Luckily it was a soft ball, but it just reminded me of the times playing volleyball with the YSA back home. We also met the guy who owns the little Dairy King in commerce which is a landmark on Route 66. It was so cool! He had previously met with missionaries and has read the who...
