Hey Friends and Family!! 

This week has been so good over here in Miami! We are working so hard to find more people to teach and it's been so fun. This week we had our Zone conference and stake conference and they were both amazing! I had to teach a little bit in zone conference which was scary, but it went well so that's good :) I am learning so much! It's been a good week full of information that I am learning about how to be a better missionary and how to help the people in my area. Sister Najera is doing fantastic! It's been so fun training her and helping her learn more about missionary life. It's exciting :) She also makes me Mexican food which is such a great bonus and blessing! haha 

Stake Conference was amazing! President Tillman from the stake spoke and he talked about preparing to pray. I had never really thought much about this, but the way he talked about it made me want to focus on what I am praying for more and how I am preparing myself to pray. He said that we can prepare  to pray by being humble and obedient and pondering on the needs of others. I thought this was really good, because sometimes we don't think, we just pray. But taking a minute to focus on others and the reasons why we are praying is so important. Then President Willis of the Seventy came and he mentioned that God has not ceased to be a God of miracles. This touched my heart, because we are working to find those who are prepared in our area and as we follow the counsel that was given and ponder the needs of the people and pray for them with real intent, God will be able to help us. Also, remembering that God doesn't cease to be a God of miracles brings me hope that as we pray, He will help us find those who are ready to hear the gospel. One thing I have learned recently to remember the Savior was also during Stake Conference. President Willis talked about slowing down next time we go to the temple and focusing on our Savior Jesus Christ. I have learned that when we do this, even when we aren't in the temple, we can understand His role in our lives as well as our purpose to help Him. I know that as we forget ourselves and remember our Savior, we will be comforted and know of the love the Savior has for each of us. I am so grateful for this knowledge and I hope to continue to set apart time to stop and focus on the Savior and the things He has done for me individually.

I am learning so much and having such a wonderful time! I know that God has not ceased to be a God of miracles and as we are trusting in Him, and acting on the things we pray for, He will continue to bring about miracles in our lives. I love and miss you all so much! Thank you for all of your support! :) 

I hope you all can notice the miracles in your life this week and take time to remember the Savior and what He has done for you. 

Love, Sister Burton 



Sorry I don't have any pictures this week! I've been slacking on the selfies! But next week I'll have lots :)

Hey Y'all!!  This week was sooo good!! There are so many things that happened I don't know where to start. Last week on Pday we went to the Walmart Museum which was really cool! It was fun learning about the history, plus the best part was the ice cream at the end haha :) Then on Tuesday we went on exchanges and I went with Sister Buttars who is super funny and it was cool seeing her area of the mission. Funny story: One night this week we had dinner with a family and they didn't have dessert which we thought was great because we get fed so much. Then we went walking in a neighborhood visiting some members and we stopped at three houses. All three said, would you like a cookie?? So we had lots of cookies haha it was fun though. One of those houses was our mission president, because they are in our ward so that was fun :) Thursday we went to the mission office and got a Tiwi.. it's the thing that monitors our cars and ours has been broken until now. It took some gett...

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...
