Well hi there sweet family!! :)

 

Sorry my email is sooo late. Monday the library was closed, and yesterday was super busy, introducing my new companion to the area. My new sweet little "daughter." Yeah, I'm training. AHHHH! I have never felt so inadequete in my life. Ever. I feel like I just got here and am learning everything myself, how am I supposed to teach someone else, ya know? But what a better time than now to learn to fully rely on my Heavenly Father, right?  Right. OH BOY i'm scared out of my mind, but I know that with His help, we can do anything.

 

Lemme tell you about my sweet little companion! Her name is Sister Goodman. She is wonderful. She is 25, from a little town by Park City. She went to BYUI. She is such a hard worker I can already tell! We both want to be so so so exactly obedient, because we know that's the only way to be able to do all the things Heavenly Father wants us to do. I know if we are obedient and are working hard that the Lord will bless us, and that's what I'm relying on right now cause I feel like it's all I got;)

 

OH OH! We have a baptismal date w/ sister Taylor. Did i tell you that already? her hubby is a member. We got to invite her to be baptized last monday evening in a lesson w/ Bishop. IT WAS SO COOL! The Spirit was so so so very strong, it was awesome :) I love being a missionary!!

 

I feel a little overwhelmed and scared, but I know that everything's gonna be just fine. We are going to sweep this area w/ missionary work. EVERYONE IS GOING TO HEAR THE GOSPEL :)

 

as always, I have no time. We have got people to find!! :)

 

I LOVE YOU!!! Talk to you Monday!! :)

Love,

SIster Burton :)

Hi!!!

Hello All :) Have I told you lately how much I love you? Well here it goes... I LOVE YOU!!! :)

Sorry I dont have ANY time to respond to your individual emails this week. Imma loser, i know.

 

This week was so good!! Exchanges with sister Bowe were the BOMB. I love her SO stinking much. While we were riding our bikes, someone stopped us and asked why we were so happy "OH SIR, Lemme tell you!!" :)  and then we had a whole lesson w/ him! Isn't that cool?! I love the HAPPINESS the gospel brings. Joy- that's what I've been studying this week.

 

Well, I lost my scriptures yesterday :( but dont fret, I will find them. I feel like part of me is gone w/o them. Theyre like part of my outfits now. I need em!

 

OH BOY OH BOY! we set a baptismal date with a new investigator we found, Steven. We might haveta hand him off to the Singles Ward Elders, but that okay. I am PUMPED.

We found another new investigator this week. Her hubby is a less active. She agreed to be baptized if she finds out if the Book of Mormon is true- (which it is so we're square) :). However, they are moving to North Carolina this week... so that kinda stinks. Us and the Elders have been helping them pack and move alot this last week. I love service. We are gonna try to set a baptismal date w/ her tonighters!! 

 

OH!! ANNNND two of the less active ladies we have been working w/ came to church!! HOLLA!! :) It twas great!! 

 

We had a zone Pday bbq today. It twas a partay. I love sis bowe and Mortensen. and the elders CRACK ME UP. It was fun!!!  

 

I seriously have like no time we have an appointment in like ten minutes. Transfers calls are on Saturday. Sister Williamson goes home on Tuesday :( so we will see what happens w/ Sis Daniels and I. I'm excited to see what Heavenly Father has instore!! I love you all so so so much!

 

Oh Jaws tells me the recital is this weekend, do me a favor and go for me mom?! Give Jaws a big hug for me :)

 

One love!

SISTER BURTON

Happy Monday!!!

Mom, First off. I owe you the biggest apology in the world.

 

Yesterday was Mother's Day. We skyped, and I didnt even wish you a happy Mother's day. WHO AM I?! The biggest jerk in the nation, that's who. SERIOUSLY. What was I thinking?! Ha. I think I was just so excited to see and talk to ya'll that I totally spaced it. So, Happy LATE Mother's Day Mother dear. I love you SO much. I hope you got my card. I also hope you know how much I really do look up to you. I always talk about you and all the things you have taught me; probably w/o even knowing it. You are the best mom and example I could ask for. And my very best friend. I LOVE YOU!!

 

Yesterday at church a Brother in the ward told me "happy FUTURE Mother's day". How sweet huh?! Ha. It got me all excited to be a momma. I know the things I am learning here will help me to be the momma that Heavenly Father needs me to be.

 

Hmmm... What else? (steak and shake) haha. I dont know what to say it's like we just talked... OH WAIT. We did :) Can I just tell you how GLORIOUS it was to see you all?! I love you SO much. I know I've told you this before, but I think the mission has made me like crazy obsessed with my family. Like I loved ya'll before I left dont get me wrong, but the love I have for you now has like quadroopled. I hope that doesnt sound creepy? Sorry. :)

 

I get to go to Tampa for exchanges today!! With Sister Bowe!!  HOLLA :) I'm super duper pumped!! :)

 

 

I love you all so SO SO very much. I actually have some time, SO I am going to bear you my testimony :)

 

I know that I am a Daughter of Heavenly Father. That He loves me, and is very very aware of me and of my heart. I know that I can go to Him anywhere, anytime in prayer and that He will answer them. I know that Christ lives, that He loves us more than we can comprehend. I know that He has felt every thing we have and will go through, big and small, and that if we turn to Him, we can get through anything. In His strength, I can do anything, but without Him, I cant really do anything. I love Him. I know the Atonement is real and that it's cleansing power is so so so real. I have felt it. He is the way. This is His Church, restored through a living prophet. I took a challenge last week to re-pray to know if the Book of Mormon was true. Guess what? It is. I know that the Book of Mormon is true, that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, and that this is Christ's true Church and the ultimate source of happiness. I know that families are ordained of our Heavenly Father, that He wants us all to come home to Him in our families. I love this gospel!! I love you all :)

 

Have good happy weeks!!!! I love you!

 

I LOVE YOU!!!!

Sister Burton

Monday- Spirit ball was a blast actually. Sister Bowe and I giggled the whole time. She's the best and I love her and her companion Sister Mortensen.  

Tuesday we had a Sister's Training Meeting. It was pretty much the best day ever. It was SO fun to be back in our tri (Sister Bowe, Beck, and I). I get to see sister Bowe all the time, but it makes my day every time. She's my best friend out here! We've talked about roomin together when we get home!! HOLLA!! :)

Wednesday- Oh boy, the sweet couple (Matthews) that I talk about all the time that riming me of gma and gpa young, she had a stroke :(. But she's doing better!!! So that’s good!!! She is the one with Alzheimer’s.... yeah I still cant spell. It was a good day though!! We had dinner w/ a less active family. He is really sick and going to die soon :( we are trying to get them sealed!!! They are great. I went on splits with one of the sister's in our ward and we found a potential investigator who wants us to come back by tracting!!! If we act in faith (even though I don’t care for tracting...at all), Heavenly Father will provide :) 

Thursday- lunch w/ a less active couple. They are wonderful!! They jus went to Salt Lake and were showing us all their pictures. He calls me the Potato girl :) ha. IT

Friday we went on splits with my new best friend. Her name is Beth and she just got home from BYU for the summer. We're like exactly the same age. She's AWESOME. We get along WAY good! She should get her call this week!! I LOVE THIS WARD!!

Saturday was great!! We found a former investigator who scheduled a return appointment with us for Sunday!!! So that's super great!! We found a Spanish member-family who fed us lunch cause we were biking- how sweet huh?! These people are honestly the best. They gave us a referral too! :) Then we found the cutest little less active lady. Her grandkids are all adopted (from China and Ethiopia... They are precious)  so I got to tell her all about Huey and Ky and cry of course :) ha. 

Sunday was good!! went on splits again w/ Beth. I love her. Ha I love it here!!! 

CHICK FIL A twice this week!!! It was like Christmas :) thank you grandma Jocko for the gift cards :)

ASK ME HOW EXCITED I AM TO SKYPE WITH YOU!!!!! HOLY MOLY HOLY COW!!!! Sunday is the day!!!! Our Church gets out at two and then we're heading over to members... It'll prolly be around 3 our time, which I believe is one yours. Maybe? I will call Saturday night to fill you in on all the details and make sure that will work for ya'll :) I CAN HARDLY STAND HOW EXCITED I AM TO SEE YOUR FACES!!! :) 

You could prolly Have tabes come help you set it up, She will be able to tell you my user name, or you can prolly find me by either searching Megan Burton or meganburton2 i think that’s it!

ONE RULE: no crying aloud. Okay? Okay.  

I love you SOOOO much!! I'm doing good! Changing and learning! It's good :) ha. Missions are hard, but I love it here and I love these people, and I love my Savior! I love you too :) I know this is His church, and I love teaching people about it, seeing them change and grow too :)

Talk to you SOOON!!! :):):):)

One Love,

Sister Megs Burton
