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

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...
