MERRY CHRISTMAS!! December 24, 2018

It's been an adventure of a week! 

It started with our fun skit lesson we did with the elders. We have a family that feeds us every Tuesday and her sister lives in the Alma ward and her niece is being taught by the Elders so they asked if we could all do a lesson together at the church so we did! We (missionaries) acted out the scene of 1st Nephi when they go and get the plates. It was so much fun! It was a great to bring the scriptures to life and they all loved it. Plus, I got to be Laman and Lemuel so that was fun. After the skit we had a discussion about the faith that Nephi had for them to get the plates and how Laman and Lemuel repented from rebelling and they had to act on their faith as well. It was really special because then the lady who feeds us, both of her sisters aren't members and they were talking about baptism and learning more as well. So amazing!!! It was a great night. We are going to have another big lesson with them on Wednesday and I'll let y'all know how it goes! 

Some other fun things we did this week was we went caroling, sang in church, got onesie Christmas Pajamas, sang at Bob and Wanda's, caught marshmallows in our mouths, did a big service project, gave two families gifts (secret santa), and cooked lots of food. 

We did service with a member and her non member co-worker. The elders were talking about a lesson they had the night before and asked for advice on how to address one of her concerns and the person we want to start teaching was asking lots of questions and then started giving us feedback on how to address the concern. It was so cool! She hasn't been taught all the lessons, but she believes so much and understand that God has a plan for each of us and that we did live with Him before this life. It was amazing to see her testifying of those things to us. We are now going to start teaching her and it's so amazing! I know that Heavenly Father has been preparing her for this.

Also, we had an AMAZING special sacrament meeting yesterday!! So, we've been a little upset because we haven't seen much of the work we've been doing pay off so we were really nervous about church, but it was so great!! We have been trying so hard to invite people to come and they always have an excuse not to come, but they CAME!!! We had such a great turn out and it was such a spiritual meeting. We had a lot of musical numbers (we sang 3 songs! So fun) and then our branch president spoke in the end about acting in faith for what we believe in. It was really good. 


Ahh, it was such a great week!! And its Christmas tomorrow! YAY!! I hope it is a wonderful day for each of y'all! I know that as we truly remember our Savior this Christmas we will have a much more meaningful day. He is the reason for the season and I am so grateful we get to focus on and remember Him!! I love my Savior Jesus Christ and I know that it is because of Him that we can feel love, peace, and JOY! He is the source of all good things. 


MERRY CHRISTMAS!! 

Love, Sister Burton

I'M TRAINING?! February 12, 2018

Good Morning!!  So guess what?? I am staying in Miami another 6 weeks and I will be training Sister Lopez! I am so excited and nervous at the same time! I know nothing about her yet other than her name, so it will be fun to get to know her. I am so sad to have to say goodbye to Sister Robinette though. We have had so much fun together and it's just been a blast, but I know we will always be friends and I know I'll have fun with Sister Lopez as well :)  We went on exchanges with the Joplin Sisters so we had four sisters in this area! It was so much fun! We also had district meeting in our building which was exciting and different. We had to do the dying pictures because Elder Rodgers and Sister Robinette are going home this week. That's why we have those pictures. It was fun. It's going to be sad when they leave, we've had an amazing district this transfer. But it'll be fun next week too with our new district! I still can't believe I'm staying her...

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...
