PRAIRIE GROVE May 14, 2018

Hey Y'all!! 

I'm back in Arkansas!! I made it to Prairie Grove on Thursday evening and I have a wonderful new companion Sister Wamsley! Prairie Grove is a cute small town just outside of Fayetteville. The people here are so sweet! It's been fun getting to know new people. It's much different from Miami, but it's still so great! 

Yesterday was awesome because I got to talk to mom and the family! It was a great Mother's Day! Our church here got flooded on Tuesday so we were only able to have Sacrament meeting, but it was still so good! I'm excited to be here in a new area with a new companion. It's going to be so much learning more and meeting knew people. I'm grateful for the opportunities God gives us to grow. It's hard making big changes, but Heavenly Father does leave you to figure it out on your own, He's there for us every step of the way, plus He sends people to help us as well :) 

Cool story/miracle: We were out visiting a couple investigators and we were out walking so we could talk to those we saw on the street. We saw these kids playing outside and asked if we could talk with their mom, they went and got their mom and we talked for a while. Then she said, I don't mean to be rude, but could you come inside because it's really hot. It was amazing! She let us in because she knew we had a message that would be something she wanted to hear. We were able to teach her almost the whole Restoration and gave her a Book of Mormon. She said she would start reading it right after we left and she would be prepared for when we come back next week. It was such a miracle to me to see how the Lord prepares people to hear His word. She is going through a lot of hard things, and we were able to promise blessings to her that would come as she reads the Book of Mormon. This was a spiritual experience because it taught me to trust in the Lord and OPEN MY MOUTH. I know that we are here to share the good news with everyone, but we can't do it unless we open our mouths and share what we know. Sister Wamsley shared with me Doctrine and Covenants section 60 and it talks about how we are to use the gifts that we have been given and to open our mouths. It's amazing the miracles that can come as we act in faith and trust in the Lord. 
 
Thank you for all your love and support!! I hope you all had an amazing Mother's Day!! :) 

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
