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

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

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
