"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 what happens! 






Also miracle! We got to go and do baptisms for the dead at the temple and it was so good! We ended up being able to do baptisms for a bunch of people and then the biggest miracle of all, they let us go up to the celestial room afterwards. It was such a special experience to go and to just sit and be peaceful for a little and not worry about the craziness about life and missionary work. The temple is such a special place! It is certainly my favorite place to go! I hope y'all are able to go to the temple soon! 








Another cool miracle! We have a friend named Jesse who has been going through a lot of hard things recently. We gave him a phone call this week and he said his life has completely turned around and he wants to strengthen his faith. He said he wanted to start studying the Bible with us and going to church! We didn't even have to ask him, he just said he wanted to! The Lord is definitely preparing people for us to teach and bring unto Christ! 





This week we all shared our testimonies during district council and then all of the departing missionaries shared theirs during a mission devo, so I have been able to hear so many wonderful testimonies in the last week. It helped my testimony to grow that God really does have a perfect plan for every single one of us. I know better now that Jesus Christ is His son and our Savior. That He understands us perfectly. My testimony is pretty simple, but it is also rooted deeply into me, and I am so grateful I get to go out and share that every single day. 

I love you all and I hope you have the best week ever!

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
