WHAT A WEEK! January 29, 2018

Hey Everyone!!

This week was an adventure that's for sure :) It started off a little rough, but we had a wonderful experience of getting a blessing from one of the Elders in our district. It was so nice being able to feel comforted by the Spirit. I have learned so much about blessings and that it is OKAY to ask for help. It's OKAY to ask for a blessing. The Lord loves us and wants to bless us. We just need to do our part and reach out to Him. 

 I am sorry I don't have much time to write, but one miracle story we had this week was we were walking from lunch to our place we do service and we had like 30 minutes before we had to be there. We weren't sure what to do, but we kept walking and then we looked to the left of us and there was a man walking in the parking lot. So my companion was here last year and was teaching this guy named Jim, and so she looked at the guy and said, "I think that's Jim!" We walked over and talked to him and it was him!! He said he had been trying to reach us for the last two weeks, but every time he went to the church no one was there. It was amazing that the Lord put him in our paths. He said he knew that God put us there for a reason and he is determined to figure out what that is. Now he's been coming to church and meeting with us and it has just been such an amazing blessing for us and for him. That is one of our miracles this week that I am so grateful to be a part of. The Lord really does help us in our lives, He guides us to where we need to be, we just need to be willing to do the things He asks of us. 

I love you all and hope you have a fantastic week! There is a mormon message called Good things to Come by Elder Holland and I love how he says, "Don't you quit!" There are still so many good things to come, we just can't give up. I hope you all can see that this week and know that the Lord loves you so much!! He hears your prayers and He is there for you, but don't you quit! :) 

Love, Sister Burton 

A crazy story for the week was my companion cut my hair and I cut hers!! It was so much fun and a lot of trust! haha but it looks great! It feels nice too not having the dead ends anymore :) 

We also went on exchanges with the Nevada sisters-So fun!! :)

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...
