I'M TRYING TO BE LIKE JESUS! October 8, 2018

Hey Y'all!! 

This week was sooo good!! General Conference was AMAZING!! How exciting for the new changes and new temples! I am very grateful we have a prophet on the earth today to lead and guide us. We had an amazing opportunity to watch three of the sessions with Yannick (the guy who "randomly" walked into church on week) and he loved it!! At the end of the last session yesterday, he said.. I got so many questions answered. How does the 20th sound for baptism?? Schedule my interview. OH MAN. It was so exciting to hear that!! You could tell the Spirit had truly spoken to him through the prophet and apostles. He had been preparing to hear those messages and he was able to receive answers to his questions! Yay!! Also, we watched the Hope Works talk by Matt Townsend on LDS.org with him and some members and then in the last session of Conference Elder Jack N. Gerard quoted something that Matt Townsend quoted, it was from Tellihard De Shardan and he said, "we are not human beings having a spiritual experience, we are spiritual beings having a human experience." We both turned to Yannick right as he said that and he thought it was so cool!

I know I received many answers as well. I wanted to know if what I was doing was good enough and if it would make a difference.. well I got my answer. In the women's session, Sister Michelle Lynn Craig said, "Being more, doesn't equate doing more." I loved this!! Sometimes I feel like if I could just be doing this more or do this, then I will be a better missionary. But that's not always the case. We don't need to be doing more to be more. We can focus on the things we are doing and improve them. I loved how she also said something like, we can give what we have to Christ and He will multiply our efforts. Heavenly Father intends to transform us. Ah! So great!! I definitely needed to hear this. 
I'm so excited for the new changes and temples that will be coming (: 

It's been a wonderful week and I hope y'all had a wonderful week as well! Let's ACT and TRY on the things taught in conference! Thank you so much for your love and support! I loved all the comments on my post! (: 

Love, Sister Burton

SMALL AND SIMPLE January 21, 2019

Hello friends and family!  It has been an adventure of a week, that's for sure! We had a super fun last night at Bob and Wanda's. Some of the people from Prairie Grove came down to hear me sing again. It was sad saying goodbye to everyone, but I know Heavenly Father has a plan for me. Then we went to the Senior center on Tuesday and delivered meals to 66 different houses! That was fun running around and giving people meals. They were a lot more open and excited to see us, that's for sure :) Haha! Then we had my last group lesson Tuesday night. We did the Book of Mormon experiment and had everyone take a page from the Book of Mormon and then highlight every time it mentions the Savior and things that stood out to you. We had an amazing discussion and everyone participated in it. So good!! Wednesday I packed and said goodbye to more people, I definitely miss Van Buren. But. Thursday I made it safely to MOUNTAIN HOME!! woohoo!! I met my new companion sister Chandler and she ...

ROUTE 66 April 25, 2018

This week we had Zone Conference and went on exchanges in Joplin again. It was a blast! We enjoyed learning so much from our mission president and his wife. Good things are happening and I love it! We talked a lot about personal revelation as well. It's very important for us to recognize how Heavenly Father speaks to us so that we can act on the things we are prompted to do. So many good things, I'm not even sure what to tell you! haha  My wonderful companion and I went and played volleyball with our investigator, we just rode by and they were out playing so we joined them and Sister Najera went to hit the ball and I was talking with our investigator and she nailed me in the head. It was so funny! Luckily it was a soft ball, but it just reminded me of the times playing volleyball with the YSA back home. We also met the guy who owns the little Dairy King in commerce which is a landmark on Route 66. It was so cool! He had previously met with missionaries and has read the who...
