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

TRY IT!!! July 9, 2018

Hello Friends and Family! This week was super good! I learned a lot! We got to meet our new Mission President and his wife this week! yay! They are so sweet! I am very excited to be able to work with them, even though it is sad to see the Lovelands go, they were amazing. I'm President and Sister Strong will be too! One thing I learned from President Strong this week was to TRY IT. He talked a little bit about how you won't know unless you try. This really stuck out to me because it works so well with everything! Like, you never know if that person is going to be interested in the gospel unless you try talking to them, right? You don't know if you'll be good at something unless you try. I love this so much! I'm not sure why it clicked so well, but it did. and it's TRUE! We are here to TRY. We have been sent to earth and given the gift of agency to try things. To try to improve and be better. We can't become perfect at something unless we try. I am so g...

OKLAHOMA ADVENTURES November 27, 2017

Happy Thanksgiving!!!  I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving on Thursday ! My companion and I were nicely fed by our new Bishop and his family. It was so nice! It's been an adventure shotgunning this area with two new missionaries. The area is huge here, but the members are few. Also, we don't have a car yet and we aren't sure if we will get one and my bike is in Bentonville sadly so we will have to wait till the end of this week to get that. So right now we are walking! It's been fun though, because we've been able to talk to more people that way. However we can only walk around Miami and it's a lot of walking haha but I love being here! :)  My companion is Sister Knight and she's from South Ogden Utah and has been out 6 Months. She has been in three areas as well and we get along great! We've been really working hard to get to know all the members and get to know the area since we are both new and there haven't been missionaries since J...
