PAR-TAY IN AR-KAY May 21, 2018

Hey everyone! 

I hope you are all doing well! Sister Wamsley's birthday was on Saturday and we had a member who asked us to come teach her fiance's daughter, which we are already teaching her fiance so we thought that would be a wonderful opportunity for us to teach his daughter. We went over to their house and they opened the door with little streamer things and whistles singing happy birthday. It was so cute! They had a whole cute pineapple and cactus theme party ready for sister Wamsley. They lied about the lesson just to get us over there. It was really fun though. :)

We were out looking for the members on our list from our relief society president and we stopped by the Patterson's home.(Our relief society pres. asked us to try by a list of sisters who we didn't know anything about). Brother Patterson was so sweet and surprised to see sisters, but he let us in to visit with him and his wife. We were able to talk to them about their conversion story and minister to them. It was amazing timing, because she hasn't been feeling well and he's not there all the time, but we were able to visit with both of them. We are excited to go back and continue working with them. Then, right after that we went to try a few more people and I saw a potential investigator who lived nearby so we went and ended up meeting the potentials sister who was interested! She has had many missionaries visit her and teach and now she feels she is looking for Jesus Christ's church and we were able to promise her blessings and set up a time for us to come back and share this message with her and her family. It was amazing seeing these people who have been prepared. This made me think of how we may not always see the fruit from our seeds, but as we are obedient missionaries, working hard to do what we can, it will affect the people in the area we are in. Then, later down the line future missionaries will have the opportunity to either teach those people who had been prepared or help the next family come back to church. This is such a comfort to me, because as I am trying to be the best missionary Heavenly Father wants me to be, we will be able to help this area and continue in this chain of serving others. 

I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a missionary and to share the good news with the people in Arkansas! Thank you for all your love and support! I am doing great and loving the work. I hope you all have a FANTASTIC week! 

Love, Sister Burton

Mariah's mission blog

Mariah is serving in the Arkansas Bentonville Mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She entered the MTC in Provo on Wednesday, August 9, 2017. She will return in February of 2019. She will serve for 18 months. She is so excited to be out there serving and teaching. She gets to write home on her Preparation Day which is usually on Mondays.  I will post the group letter she writes each week along with the pictures she includes. Her pictures haven't been visible to everyone in her emails so this will be a place to see it all. She loves to receive letters and emails and I've listed her addresses below. We are so proud of Mariah and her service. We miss her terribly but know that she is in the best place and in the best hands for this time of her life. We love you, Sister Burton!

October 16, 2017 SPRINGFIELD YSA, WOOT WOOT!

Hey Y'all!  This week has been so good! It's also been so crazy because of transfers, but I did it! I made it safely to Springfield Missouri with my new companion Sister Sanders. It's been so much fun! I got here  on Thursday  after saying all my goodbyes to the wonderful people of Sugar Creek. Then I went straight to a lesson. The work here is going amazing and there are lots of people to teach! I love it! :)  It is definitely a change coming from a family ward to YSA, but it's so much fun! The ward is a blast and everyone is so willing to help us with missionary work. Something fun about our area is we are right across the street from Missouri State University's campus so we spend a lot of time talking to the students there which is awesome. I haven't had too much experience yet, just because they were all on fall break this last weekend, but I am excited to see it when there's a lot more people!  We did service this week at Well of Life which ...
