"What the fetch is going to happen to me?!?"

November 15, 2021 Hello everybody! If you're wondering, that was the quote of the week because tomorrow is transfers! Woot woot. So here's what's going down here in St. Cloud. Sister Blanchard is flying to France in T-minus 7 hours, so I knew I was going to be getting a new comp. Well, President Ashcraft called us Friday night, which normally would mean that you are either training or getting put into leadership. But you want to know what he told me, he said "Sister Wixom, you and Sister Seppi are going to be together and you are going to cover Canoe Creek AND Narcoossee." That's right. Two Sisters. Two areas. And two weeks where I have no idea what the fetch is going to happen to me because Sister Seppi goes home early because of Christmas. Super fun! Fun fact! Sister Seppi started her mission in Canoe Creek, so we have both served in the other area already so it should be pretty good! God is definitely putting us here for a reason, so we are excited to see w

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

 November 1, 2021 Hello everybody! I hope you all had a fun and safe Halloween and got lots and lots of candy!  We had our ward trunk or treat this week. We were able to hand out candy, but then the kids just kept coming back and back which was totally fine, but we were running out of candy! So...we decided to give this one kid a Book of Mormon and then we gave another kid a Book of Mormon and then all of a sudden, we had given out 10 Book of Mormons to kids. And honestly, I think they were more excited about getting the Book of Mormon than the candy. 😂 One little girl asked "Can I have a scripture book?"  It was so sweet!  Kids are the absolute best! I definitely want to be in Primary! We also had another cool miracle at the trunk or treat. There is a lady named Sister Fadner in my ward. She brought her friend Lolly to the trunk or treat. We got to talk to Lolly for a little bit and we found out that she isn't a member of our church but that she would be interested in t
