I am 4 months old!

February 15, 2021

Hello everybody!

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine's Day and you were able to feel of all the love your Heavenly Father and Savior have for you!

This week was a little all over the place, which is pretty much every week! Lots of little things to be learned or reminded of!

1- Sister Crandell is very good at air hockey and I am not very good.
2- Thunderstorms in Florida are amazing!! The lightning and rain is incredible! Only problem, it is so humid afterwards!
3- McDonald's sundaes can solve most missionary problems.
4- Chihuahuas are fast dogs. We had one run into our house this week, TWICE, and he was a fast little thing.
5- Soup at the lakefront tastes way better than soup at home. Especially when you can see the sunset while you are eating it.






6- Chocolate mint plants smell AND taste pretty yummy.
7- Make sure that the top of your trail mix bag is closed otherwise you will have half of the bag on the ground when you shake it.
8- When you are teaching, have the invitation in mind. The Spirit will let you know if you need to extend a different invitation. When we extend invitations, we are giving people a chance to change and grow closer to their Savior.





9- One of the hardest parts of missions is having to say goodbye to people. This week, we had our ward boundaries change which moved a few families to a different ward and we had an Elder return back to Brazil.





10- Our Heavenly Father and Savior love us so much! We are invited in the scriptures to come and feast upon that love. And in Lehi's vision of the Tree of Life, Lehi talks about how he desires after he has partaken of the fruit, which represents the love of God, that he wants his family to come and partake of it as well. We have so many opportunities around us to recognize God's love for us, and we have so many opportunities to share God's love with those around us!! I love being able to share God's love every single day, and every where I go!!













I hit my 4 month mark yesterday!! So crazy! I still have a long way to go, but I am looking forward to it! I hope you all have a great week! よし、あいしています Wixom 姉妹

And Then There Was One

 December 5, 2020 Hello everybody! So many good things have happened recently! There are miracles all around us, God is so good!! Last weekend I had the chance to go to the temple with my companion, Tu'ineau shimai! She had invited me to go with her when she went through the temple, and of course I said yes. It was such a special experience to 1-be in the temple again and 2-meet my MTC companion in person.  I love the temple, it has always been a special place for me. Over the last year, my testimony and love for the temple has grown so much through the experiences I have had. One of the hardest things recently, is not being able to feel the peace that the temple brings me. Our teachers have encouraged us to make a place in our home our very own temple while all the temples are closed. A place that we can go to feel peace and close to God. I have loved trying to make that happen, but I also loved being able to go inside a temple again. I would encourage all of you to prepare to be

 Sep 6, 2021, 2021 Hello everybody!  This week was miracle after miracle after miracle! It was amazing and an absolute amazing reminder of how incredible it is to be a missionary.  3 news  So throughout the week we have time set apart that we find people to teach. We will either look on social media, talk to members, go through our area book. All sorts of thing. Well...in a normal week for us we maybe find 1 or 2 new people. On Tuesday last week, we found 3 new people! By the end of the week we had a total of 5! There are so many people that have been prepared.  Saved contacts We decided we were going to contact a bunch of people one night and I had the thought to call Liz. Well...when I looked Liz up in our area book to get her number it wasn't there! Sometimes, if a person hasn't shown interest in a really really long time, their record will get deleted. Well...when I went to our phone contacts, there was Liz's number! Thankfully, her contact had been saved, so we were st

November 8, 2021 Hello everybody! How are y'all doing? How was your week? Because mine was all over the place! We had so many miracles when it came to member meals this week! Our favorite was definitely when this couple invited us to go to the temple with them! So background, Sister Blanchard is going to France next Monday and she really wanted to go to the temple before she left. We called President Ashcraft and he said there wasn't any way we could just go. So we had been praying and praying that there would be a reason we could go to the temple. Then we go to this member meal and we get talking about the temple. Turns out, the wife has been asking and asking people if they could go and everyone kept turning her down. So now, we get to go! And to make it even better, when we asked President Ashcraft about it, he encouraged us to take a recent convert with us and we just happen to have a friend named Angel who has never been! It will also be my first time seeing the Orlando te
