It rained a lot this week

 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 couple in the ward, that again is so similar. The other, James, walked in and we hadn't decided who we thought would be a good friend for him and he was just kind of sitting to the side by himself and then one of our recent converts was all like "why don't you come sit with us!" We could see them laughing and explaining things during the Sacrament. We have been told things will start to happen as we get members involved and I think we are starting to see the incredible miracles that come from it!

Another story with our friend James. We were able to talk with him a little after church and he told us that when he was in Minneapolis two girls just like us talked with him and wouldn't stop talking to him until he went to church. And then he told us this was the church he had gone to back then! He said "I think God is trying to tell me something because I am trying to get my life back" It gave me the chills when he said that. And he told us he is planning on coming again next week with his sister!

God is so good and there are so many who are ready to hear the gospel and so many who are ready to have sacred missionary opportunities.

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
