  July19, 2021 Hello everybody!  I hope you all had the greatest week! I know that mine was full of miracle after miracle! We had a couple of really awesome lessons this week! The first was with a lady named April and her kids. We found out that it was actually the 11 year old that wanted to Bible studies with us, not the mom, which completely blew our minds. We gave them a church tour and read with them part of Enos and talked about prayer. We also read some of Alma 32 and talked about how we build our faith, and that it is through small things like praying, reading our scriptures, and going to church. The little girl was so excited to read the Book of Mormon! Kids are the greatest! We are hoping that they will be able to come to church next week! The next lesson we had was with our friend named Stephen. I actually found Stephen on Instagram. I was asking if he knew of anyone needing prayers and he said he could use some for guidance! We got talking and I was able to introduce him to

 July 12, 2021 Hello everybody! We got transfer news on Saturday and Sister Cook and I get to stay together in Vero for another 6 weeks! Woot woot! Our fire is back and we are ready to hit the ground running this week!  Our big focus recently has been on member missionary work and this week we began to see the miracles that come from it. We have our Ukrainian chocolatier friend we are teaching and we felt really inspired to ask this one lady in our ward to come with us. Well, in the hour we were there we barely said anything because they hit it off so well! Turns out this member is part Ukrainian, they grew up in the same area, they both work with special needs kids, and they would both make jokes about the things their husbands do similarly. It was amazing to see how perfect they were for one another and we felt so grateful that she is who God led us to.  And then on Sunday, crazy miracle! We ended up having TWO people come to church!! Woot woot! One we were able to introduce to a cou

We gotta get out of here

  July 5, 2021 Hello everybody!  I hope you all had a great 4th of July!  Well this week was full of some pretty amazing lessons! Which was good for us, because the week before we didn't end up teaching once the entire week!  We had a lesson with one of our friends named Jordan.   We have been trying to help him gain a testimony of the Book of Mormon and so he has been reading on his own and then we read with him when we meet. This last week, we invited him to say the closing prayer and to ask if it was true and then to sit and ponder and listen for the answer. We probably sat there, arms folded and eyes closed, for a good 5 minutes before he was finished. We asked him how he was feeling, and he said he felt like he heard some things. It was one of those really spiritual moments that helps shape a person's testimony.  We had a bbq with our ward on Saturday and the coolest thing happened! There was a guy named Lee just walking by and everyone was all like come and eat some food,
