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

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
