CHRIST LIKE LOVE August 13, 2018

HEY Y'ALL!! 

It's been a great week! 
Sorry I don't have more time to write, but here is a cool miracle that happened this week! I am so very grateful for the opportunity to see the Lord's hand in every day life!
 We had a miracle happen yesterday. We were at church and the thunderstorms were insane! Luckily people still made it to church, which was wonderful. As we were trying to greet everyone, Bishop came up to me and told me there was a man in a red shirt who just came in and wasn't a member. He asked me to go say hi to him, so I did! We went up over to him and he said his name was Yannick and he has never been to our church before, but he wanted to come see it for himself. So he came! He was very wet from the rain, but he seemed very happy to be there. Sister Rosenberg and I were already sitting with another one of the people we were teaching and there was no room left on the bench for Yannick. As the meeting started, I felt prompted to go sit with him. Then when the hymn started I decided to go and we all went, including the other person we are teaching. It was so great, because then I was able to answer the questions he had during the meeting. I explained the sacrament and the speakers and we were able to give him a Book of Mormon. It was a wonderful day for him to come, because there was someone giving their homecoming talk and it was perfect for someone new coming to the church. After Sacrament meeting, we invited him to our gospel principles class and he came! He also asked if he could come back next week. Of course, we said yes! It was such a miracle that he was so prepared to come learn more. It was also a testimony builder for me to always act on my promptings, because he probably would've been very confused if we hadn't sat by him to explain everything. Even though it was a huge thing, it was very important for him and for us as missionaries. I am grateful for the opportunity to share with others the gospel of Jesus Christ and help them understand the importance of the sacrament and the baptismal covenant we make with our Heavenly Father. We hope to see him again! :)

Mariah's mission blog

Mariah is serving in the Arkansas Bentonville Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She entered the MTC in Provo on Wednesday, August 9, 2017. She will return in February of 2019. She will serve for 18 months. She is so excited to be out there serving and teaching. She gets to write home on her Preparation Day which is usually on Mondays.  I will post the group letter she writes each week along with the pictures she includes. Her pictures haven't been visible to everyone in her emails so this will be a place to see it all. She loves to receive letters and emails and I've listed her addresses below. We are so proud of Mariah and her service. We miss her terribly but know that she is in the best place and in the best hands for this time of her life. We love you, 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...
