NEW ADVENTURES! October 29, 2018

Oh boy oh boy! It's only been 5 days since I last emailed and so much has happened!! I am in a trio right now with Sister Buhler and Sister Clayburn (she's waiting for her companion who comes tomorrow night) and so we are covering both areas. Woohoo! Lots of driving, but it's been fun because I've been able to learn the areas and drive the Greenwood sisters truck (: other things that have happened this week... we gave a man we are teaching a couch, got referrals, went to two ward Halloween parties, taught lots of people in both areas, we saw a pet pig, I moved into a mansion, I dropped my phone in the toilet, we did Zumba for morning exercise, lots of service, made many u-turns, got lost, got free food, went to a Jason Deere concert, and had lots of fun!!! I'm sure there's a lot more I'm missing from these past few days but those are some of the highlights. It's been really fun getting to know lots of new people. 
Van Buren is a branch and it's only been a year since it became one. The people are wonderful!! I'm so excited to work with them. Also, sister Buhler is so great!! I'm very glad we get to be companions. Sister Clayburn is a hoot too! 

On a more spiritual note, we went to the Jason Deere concert and the spirit was so strong! He is the writer/singer in Nashville Tribute Band. They are members of the church and they sing about Church history and Christian music. Towards the very end he had all the missionaries come up and sing the song "I was born" it was so cool!! It was such a tender moment as we were all singing about how we all came from different places around the world, but we are all here with the same purpose to bring souls to Christ. Ah. I loved it!! Its so true though! We are here to help gather the scattered Israel whether on a mission or not. It's the good news that we share and we need to make sure we are sharing it!! Don't be afraid to open your mouths and share what you love about the gospel and our Savior Jesus Christ. I'm so grateful to have this opportunity to be here in Arkansas sharing the love of God with everyone. Thank you so much for all your love and support! It means so much to me!! It definitely helps having the support from back home. :)
 I hope y'all have a wonderful week!! Dont forget to share the good news!! 


Love, Sister Burton

TRY IT!!! July 9, 2018

Hello Friends and Family! This week was super good! I learned a lot! We got to meet our new Mission President and his wife this week! yay! They are so sweet! I am very excited to be able to work with them, even though it is sad to see the Lovelands go, they were amazing. I'm President and Sister Strong will be too! One thing I learned from President Strong this week was to TRY IT. He talked a little bit about how you won't know unless you try. This really stuck out to me because it works so well with everything! Like, you never know if that person is going to be interested in the gospel unless you try talking to them, right? You don't know if you'll be good at something unless you try. I love this so much! I'm not sure why it clicked so well, but it did. and it's TRUE! We are here to TRY. We have been sent to earth and given the gift of agency to try things. To try to improve and be better. We can't become perfect at something unless we try. I am so g...

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...
