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

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...
