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

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
