 Apr 26, 2021 Hello everybody! We are one week into this transfer, and all I can say is, I think there are going to see some pretty amazing miracles! We had such an amazing experience this week with a couple that we are teaching. They have been struggling to recognize the spiritual experiences they have had or are having, so for our lesson this week, we decided to say a kneeling prayer with them at the end of it. At the end of the prayer, we asked them how they were feeling. One wasn't completely sure, so we were like, "is it peace or good?" and the other one goes, "I would describe it more as a calm." It was such a miracle! The Spirit was so strong at that moment, and I am so happy they were able to recognize it!! That lesson really got me thinking about the power of prayer. We read Enos , which is one of my favorite chapters in the Book of Mormon that talks about prayer. My favorite verses are 4 and 5 "4 And my soul hungered; and I kneeled down before my

6 months down!

 April 19, 2021 Hello everybody! Transfers are this week. Sadly, Sister Crandell is getting transferred to Palm Bay and I am staying in Narcoossee. My new companion is Sister Pinkham and I am getting pumped for this upcoming transfer! It is sad having to say goodbye, but other good things are on the way! I also hit my 6 months this last week! It is kind of super crazy! I feel like I have already learned so much from my mission and I am so excited to see what the rest of my mission will bring! Super short this week, just know, all good things are still happening here in Narcoossee! I love you all, and I hope you all have a great week! よし、あいしています Wixom姉妹

  April 12, 2021 Hello everybody! This week was full of really amazing experiences! It is crazy how fast the week goes by when you are working hard everyday and trying to do the best you can! We were able to talk with a lot of people which is always the best! Since General Conference was this last week, we tried to include some of the talks into our lessons. We met with this lady from our ward and we talked about President Nelson's talk from the morning session. I love the focus he put on faith. That even if we only have faith the size of a mustard seed, we can still move mountains. And I love that he gave us ways that we could strengthen and build our faith! If faith the size of a grain of mustard seed can move mountains, just imagine what faith the size of a tree could do! One of my favorite parts of my mission is watching other's faith grow! It is always through the small and simple things: prayer, scriptures, church.   We had a crazy awesome miracle today! Sister Crandell a

 April 5, 2021 Hello everybody! I hope y'all were able to watch conference this weekend! There were so many inspired talks! I loved the focus on faith and putting our trust in God! That was a principle that I needed to be reminded of and one that I need to be better about living. I feel so blessed to know that we have a living prophet on the earth who leads and guides us. If you didn't have a chance to watch, I would encourage you to go back and watch them. I know there is something from this general conference for all of us.  This week we had a really incredible lesson where we talked about the spirit and personal revelation. We talked about how the Spirit can talk to us through our thoughts, feelings, and and sometimes in a voice. We went through and talked about how and when we feel like we have received revelation. We also talked about how sometimes it is difficult to recognize if we are feeling the Spirit or if it is just our thought. Sister Crandell also made the interes

 March 29, 2021 Hello everybody!  I hope y'all had a great week and are getting pumped for general conference this week. The church has put out a couple of really awesome videos. One being the #startingtoday video focusing on how because of Christ we have the chance to start over today. President Nelson shared a video yesterday for Palm Sunday where he talked about the peace and hope that we can find this Easter season because of Jesus Christ. My favorite part was when he talked about the palms of the Savior's hand. Christ has promised to never forget us. We are engraven in his hands. I am so grateful for this Easter season and that we have the chance to remember the Savior and His sacrifice, but also His resurrection. I would go watch those videos if you haven't yet, they are so good! We had a pretty amazing lesson this week where we showed the family the starting today video. We asked what they liked from it and one of them pointed out the joy that comes through change.
