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

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...
