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

MERRY CHRISTMAS!! December 24, 2018

It's been an adventure of a week!  It started with our fun skit lesson we did with the elders. We have a family that feeds us every Tuesday and her sister lives in the Alma ward and her niece is being taught by the Elders so they asked if we could all do a lesson together at the church so we did! We (missionaries) acted out the scene of 1st Nephi when they go and get the plates. It was so much fun! It was a great to bring the scriptures to life and they all loved it. Plus, I got to be Laman and Lemuel so that was fun. After the skit we had a discussion about the faith that Nephi had for them to get the plates and how Laman and Lemuel repented from rebelling and they had to act on their faith as well. It was really special because then the lady who feeds us, both of her sisters aren't members and they were talking about baptism and learning more as well. So amazing!!! It was a great night. We are going to have another big lesson with them on Wednesday and I'll let y...

CHRISTMAS EVERYDAY!! December 17,2108

Woohoo! It's almost Christmas!!! One of our favorite songs right now is Christmas everyday by David archuleta. It you haven't heard it, I encourage you to go listen to it and his whole album. Ah. So good! It's been an eventful week as well!  We had MLC in bentonville which is where we went and talked about plans for our zone conference and future district councils. It was so much fun! Sister Rosenberg was called to be the other sister training leader so we get to go to that meeting together and we were able to do exchanges all day Wednesday and I stayed in Prairie Grove. It was so cool!!! I got to see a lot of the people I love and miss from that area. It was a blast being able to see them and be in their homes again. We had zone conference on Thursday and it was so fun! Since its Christmas it was a 2 hour meeting and the rest was just games and a talent show. Super cool! There are a ton of talented missionaries here. There was singing, kickboxing, roller skating, piano...
