寿司が大好きです！ (I love sushi!)

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 interesting analogy that learning how to recognize the Spirit is like trying to learn a new language. You can't expect to be able to read a whole book in Japanese right away. You have to start by learning the letters and then words and then you might only be able to understand a fraction what is written. Biggest key: practice. Just how you need daily language study to improve your Japanese, you need daily scripture study, prayer, attending church and the temple, and other things that will allow the Spirit to come and touch your heart. I believe that the more times we put ourselves in a position the Spirit can speak to us, the more the Spirit will speak to us. I know the lesson was to help the people we are teaching understand how to receive revelation, but I feel like I learned so much from it!

With Easter yesterday, we have been sharing with everyone that we can the peace and hope that comes through Jesus Christ with the knowledge that He was resurrected. I am so grateful that my Savior suffered for all my sins and pains and was willing to die for me on the cross. But I am so grateful to know that because Christ was resurrected, I will have the same opportunity, and so will everyone else. That fact brings me so much hope and joy! I know that this life isn't the end! We will all live again, just as Christ lives today! I hope that during this Easter season you were able to feel of some of that hope and joy, as well, because it is true!

Fun things to be learned this week

1-Baby alligators are so cute! No surprise, baby animals are always better. 

2-I am so glad I am a missionary serving during Covid. 

3-Flip books are very difficult to make, especially trying to get a stick person to walk. 






4-WE LOVE SUSHI!!!

5-Frank's food is too good, which is why he never cooks. 

6-The church's wifi saves us when we have to do online lessons. 

7-It takes a long time to text every person in the ward. 

8-It can get cold in Florida! Like, I'm glad I wore a sweater, but wish I had a jacket cold. 

9-Conference snacks are a must. 

10-The best part of Easter egg hunts is hiding the eggs. No question. 





I hope you all have a fantastic week!

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
