CHARLIE GOT BAPTIZED!! September 12, 2018

Hey family and friends!! 

So sorry it's been so long since I've emailed. It's been crazy over here in Arkansas, but good news! First, Charlie got baptized on Saturday!! It was AMAZING! It was such a wonderful privilege to be a part of that special day for her. Second, I am staying in Prairie Grove another transfer!! Woohoo! Also, I will still be with sister Rosenberg! We will be together 3 transfers! That's pretty rare so we are excited about that. I absolutely love it here. The people are wonderful and the work is going so well! (: 

Charlies baptism went so well and we had a lot of people there supporting her. It was so tender, because he husband who has some medical issues and hasn't been able to come to church in a while, was doing good that night and was able to baptized her! It was such a miracle and a blessing. 

We had a member in our ward pass away on Sunday. It was hard to say goodbye, but he lived an amazing life. He was one of the first people I met when I came here and he was so nice! He also always came to our gospel principles class which was so great because he would share such a sweet testimony every time. He loved sharing the gospel and teaching others the truth that he has found. He was a wonderful example of Jesus Christ and I very much admired him. They had a wonderful service for him today and it was so tender how everyone talked about the love and kindness he shared with others. I definitely feel that we should all try to be more like that, as members of the church we are represtatives of Jesus Christ and we should be doing our best to learn of Him and be Like Him. I am so grateful for Jesus Christ and His greatest example, but I am also so grateful for the members and people around us everyday who strive to live their lives the way the Savior did. I love this gospel, I love my Savior Jesus Christ, and I love the people here in Prairie Grove Arkansas. 

I hope you all have a wonderful week! Never forget who showed the way for you (: 

Love, Sister Burton

Hey Y'all!!  This week was sooo good!! There are so many things that happened I don't know where to start. Last week on Pday we went to the Walmart Museum which was really cool! It was fun learning about the history, plus the best part was the ice cream at the end haha :) Then on Tuesday we went on exchanges and I went with Sister Buttars who is super funny and it was cool seeing her area of the mission. Funny story: One night this week we had dinner with a family and they didn't have dessert which we thought was great because we get fed so much. Then we went walking in a neighborhood visiting some members and we stopped at three houses. All three said, would you like a cookie?? So we had lots of cookies haha it was fun though. One of those houses was our mission president, because they are in our ward so that was fun :) Thursday we went to the mission office and got a Tiwi.. it's the thing that monitors our cars and ours has been broken until now. It took some gett...

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...
