BIRTHDAY AND WEDDING ADVENTURES July 2, 2018

Thank you so much everyone who wished me Happy Birthday!! I really appreciated it and felt all of your love!! 

This week was so great! We had an adventurous time running around from appointment to appointment, but I love being so busy! 

okay so Saturday, my Birthday. It started out as a wonderful morning and my companion made me yummy cookie butter waffles and we got ready and put on pants since we were going to do service which was so great! Then, we walked outside and.. I left the keys inside... so we ended up being locked out for like an hour and so we started talking with our neighbors to get the landlords number. It was great because we got to get to know everyone better and then finally we were able to get in through the bedroom window which was fun. Then we went and did service and tried to visit lots of people. It was really good. We also did some tracting and met super nice people! We went to see this referral who is moving in and right as we got there they said the moving truck will be here any minute and so we helped them unload the truck in our skirts. We felt so bad, because we didn't know it was going to be that day so we weren't prepared with other people or pants, but that's okay. It ended up being really great and we were able to meet new people! Then we went to the Vine's Wedding. It was so cute! It so fun being able to be a part of their special day!! Bert is learning about the church and Sister Vines is such a wonderful member and helper to the missionaries. She's the best! It was a great way to spend my 20th birthday. :) 

on a more spiritual note, we met two people this week who have had amazing experiences with the gospel. They both knew members and missionaries from before and were looking for that next step in their life. We got to meet and talk with them and we will hopefully be going back to start teaching and working with them! It was such a miracle. Another thing that happened this week was we went to the Pentecostal church with one of the people we are teaching. We said we'd go to your church, and then you can come to our church. It was such a neat experience to be able to go and see what they believe and see the similarities to our church. Although, there are many things different, you can tell they really have a desire to do what is right. After we went we came back to our church for 3rd hour and we talked to one of the members of the Bishopric about it and I was asking if they all believe the same thing. He said it depends on the pastor and then he said, it really is amazing to see how our church is the same. no matter where you go in the world, if you go to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, it is the same. We have the same lessons, we do the same things, just different people. Being able to go helped remind me of how blessed we are to have the Book of Mormon and the knowledge of the Restored gospel of Jesus Christ. It makes me want to share with others so much more!

I'm so grateful for all the things I am learning and the opportunity to be here sharing the gospel with the people in Arkansas. Thank you so much for your love and prayers!! I hope you all have a wonderful 4th of JULY!!! 

Love, Sister Burton

  Hey Everyone!!  This week and half have been so good and so crazy!! So it's transfer week and I am being transferred to Springfield Missouri in the YSA ward. I am so excited about it! It's going to be sad leaving everyone here in Sugar Creek, but I'm looking forward to a new adventure with my new companion Sister Sanders :)  Last week on Pday we went to Crystal Bridges which is a very popular art museum here and it was beautiful. If you like art, keep that place in mind to visit one day. Then we had some sisters from Missouri come down for exchanges since Sister Tillotson is their training leader. That was a hoot with all four of us there. Cool story on this exchange: Sister Lloyd and I were together and we went to visit with three potential investigators that everytime sister T and I went they weren't home and guess what?? They were all home!! It was so awesome getting to talk with them and share a scripture. We had return appointments and we've started t...
