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 the Book of Mormon and I gave him a couple of chapters to read and he loved it! I asked if he wanted to do another Book of Mormon study with us said yes! We met him at the church and we were able to have the most perfect members there with us, and it gets better. We asked him to read part of the introduction and after he read the part that says, "We invite all men everywhere to read the Book of Mormon, to ponder in their hearts the message it contains, and then to ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ if the book is true." He said "well it is." Completely caught us off guard! It was amazing! The lesson went great and it was just evidence of people that have been prepared to hear the message of the restored gospel!



Biggest miracle of the week...we had 4 people at church! Aahhhh! We couldn't believe it! God is so
willing to work through those that are ready and willing. I have seen so much of that on my mission. 

Also! I hit 9 months this week! Woot woot! I am officially over halfway and it doesn't feel at all like I have been out that long. We celebrated with chocolate chip pancakes, sushi, and cheesecake! I am so grateful for all the things I have learned so far and I cannot wait to see what happens in the next 9 months! 


10 things from my week

1- Broccsparagus is not our veggie of choice. 

2- God answered a prayer with the Elignabar. 

3- Scotcharoos are the easiest and the best! Just a 1/1/1/6 ratio

4- Nothing makes Henry happy. 

5- We have a gift for organizing Teresa's office supplies. 

6- Sometimes, people just need people to talk and visit with them. 

7- Jordan knows we are trying to convert him. 

8- Psychiatrist with the Doyls and Digmans makes for the funniest game night. 

9- I can not walk if my feet are asleep. 

10- No sugar is pretty difficult when you have the best ward and the best neighbors!

I love you all! Have a great week and keep praying for miracles!

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
