CHARLIE GOT BAPTIZED!! September 12, 2018

Hey family and friends!!

So sorry it's been so long since I've emailed. It's been crazy over here in Arkansas, but good news! First, Charlie got baptized on Saturday!! It was AMAZING! It was such a wonderful privilege to be a part of that special day for her. Second, I am staying in Prairie Grove another transfer!! Woohoo! Also, I will still be with sister Rosenberg! We will be together 3 transfers! That's pretty rare so we are excited about that. I absolutely love it here. The people are wonderful and the work is going so well! (:

Charlies baptism went so well and we had a lot of people there supporting her. It was so tender, because he husband who has some medical issues and hasn't been able to come to church in a while, was doing good that night and was able to baptized her! It was such a miracle and a blessing.

We had a member in our ward pass away on Sunday. It was hard to say goodbye, but he lived an amazing life. He was one of the first people I met when I came here and he was so nice! He also always came to our gospel principles class which was so great because he would share such a sweet testimony every time. He loved sharing the gospel and teaching others the truth that he has found. He was a wonderful example of Jesus Christ and I very much admired him. They had a wonderful service for him today and it was so tender how everyone talked about the love and kindness he shared with others. I definitely feel that we should all try to be more like that, as members of the church we are represtatives of Jesus Christ and we should be doing our best to learn of Him and be Like Him. I am so grateful for Jesus Christ and His greatest example, but I am also so grateful for the members and people around us everyday who strive to live their lives the way the Savior did. I love this gospel, I love my Savior Jesus Christ, and I love the people here in Prairie Grove Arkansas.

I hope you all have a wonderful week! Never forget who showed the way for you (:

Love, Sister Burton

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.

October 11, 2017

Hey Everyone!! This week and half have been so good and so crazy!! So it's transfer week and I am being transferred to Springfield Missouri in the YSA ward. I am so excited about it! It's going to be sad leaving everyone here in Sugar Creek, but I'm looking forward to a new adventure with my new companion Sister Sanders :) Last week on Pday we went to Crystal Bridges which is a very popular art museum here and it was beautiful. If you like art, keep that place in mind to visit one day. Then we had some sisters from Missouri come down for exchanges since Sister Tillotson is their training leader. That was a hoot with all four of us there. Cool story on this exchange: Sister Lloyd and I were together and we went to visit with three potential investigators that everytime sister T and I went they weren't home and guess what?? They were all home!! It was so awesome getting to talk with them and share a scripture. We had return appointments and we've started t...
