DO I TRUST THAT THE LORD WILL FULFILL HIS PROMISES?? September 17, 2018

Hey!! 

Oh man, this week was so fun! I know I just wrote on Wednesday, but we had a blast with a certain family in our ward this week. We also had an amazing spiritual experience as well. So there's a family in our ward named the Fox's and they have taken us in as the adopted daughters pretty much. it's the best. They are so funny!! We goof off with them and have great lessons with them as well. They have a son who is 15 and he loves to joke around with us. They called us the other day and invited us to go to lunch with them because they saw we were home at our apartment. They are so sweet! So, don't worry, I am definitely being taken care of here in Arkansas :) 

We also had a lesson with Yannick this week (the one who randomly walked into church one day) and he is doing AMAZING!! He is recognizing the Spirit at church and when he's with the members of the ward. He loves it and so we are going to be working towards the next step in his conversion! He is preparing for baptism, but we aren't entirely sure which day yet. It's very exciting to see him change. During our lesson on Friday we talked about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and how important it is to Endure/Enjoy to the end. It doesn't stop after he's baptized and confirmed. There is much more that we continue to do after as we serve in the church and renew the covenants we have made. He felt the Spirit very strong as we talked about it. We also talked about Hope. I have been studying Hope this week and I love how preach my gospel defines it as "Hope is an abiding trust that the Lord will fulfill His promises to you." I love this! I asked myself do I trust that the Lord will fulfill his promises to me?? and it took lots of thinking, but I have come to the conclusion that I do. I absolutely trust in Heavenly Father. I know that He has a plan for me and loves me so much. He has promised me and everyone so many things, but asks that we follow His son and trust in Him. I know that as we do, we will draw closer to Him and receive those blessings. Yannick also loves the scriptures and the talks given by President Nelson. I am so excited for him to watch General Conference, he's going to love it!! It's so wonderful!! 

We also had a stake relief society activity this week and we made blankets for children in need!! It was wonderful, we made over 100 blankets! I absolutely love doing service! Which, we also were able to help someone we are teaching plant a garden this week. It was an awesome opportunity to fellowship and get to know her! We absolutely loved it and hopefully we will be seeing more of her. :) 

I am so grateful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the knowledge we have of Him. I am so excited to be staying in Prairie Grove and have the opportunity to teach such amazing people! I know that the Lord has a plan for each of us, we just need to exercise our faith and hope in Him. :)

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...
