Entering the Provo MTC August 9, 2017

Hi everyone!!

I have safely made it to the MTC!! When we first got here they had to drop me off down in the underground parking lot which was pretty sketchy, but I survived!! haha I was able to get my name tag right after, so I feel safer ;) Anyways, I've been given a dorm room and met my teachers and a few other people that are in my district while I'm here, it's so awesome!! My P-Day is going to be next Thursday so you will hear from me again then. I am so excited to be here!! So far the people that I have met are either going to Wisconsin or St. Louis Missouri. I have not yet met my companion that I will have while being here, but it's not sister Price, it's sister Mcneil. I've already been asked lots of fun questions about why I am here and what is my purpose which has been really cool, you can definitely feel the spirit here. Okay, so I don't have that much time, but I promise I am safe and even though I've only been here an hour, I am loving it! I had such a cool Sister that helped me know where to go. I love you all so much!! I'll be able to tell you more next Thursday!

Love,

Sister Burton

Temple Tuesday November 13, 2017

Hey Friends!! This week was so fun!! We had the amazing opportunity to go to the St.Louis temple this week! I loved it so much! I am so grateful we were able to go because we don't have on in our mission, but blessed with the best mission president :) We also had a fun time with our zone this week and did interviews with our mission president and his wife. They are such great people with lots of advice for us missionaries, I love it! Something amazing that happened this week was we had exchanges with the traveling sisters (they go around the mission visiting all the sisters) and so there were four sisters just in our area, but it was the busiest day of the week! We had so many lessons that with each companionship we didn't have any gaps of time. It was such a cool miracle because we were able to teach so many people and have such a great experience. I just thought that was so cool! Another thing that I started this week was reading the Book of Mormon and just...

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...
