We all bought legos

Hello everybody!

This week was very very good! 

We had interviews with President Ashcraft this last week and they went really well! It always seems like he knows just what I need to hear. He shared with me some verses from Alma 48 when Captain Moroni is being described. 


17 Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men.

18 Behold, he was a man like unto Ammon, the son of Mosiah, yea, and even the other sons of Mosiah, yea, and also Alma and his sons, for they were all men of God.

19 Now behold, Helaman and his brethren were no less serviceable unto the people than was Moroni; for they did preach the word of God, and they did baptize unto repentance all men whosoever would hearken unto their words.



He focused on how it says that the others were no less serviceable. Meaning that we all have talents and gifts that can help others come closer to Christ. Does that mean that some are better than others, nope! We are all here to support and lift one another. I really appreciated that. 

We also put our friend Joe on date for baptism this week! We taught him about the gospel and when we talked about baptism and what it was, he said it was like accepting God and showing that you want to follow Him. We said that is exactly what it is, and then Joe said "I want to do that"! So cool! Joe is a good example to me of how the Lord can use our trials to bless us and grow in the gospel. 




And.....Paris got baptized yesterday! It was such a good service and she was so happy! Her story is incredible, and I was so grateful I got to be a part of it. When we asked her how she felt, she said very excited and very happy. Another good example to me of the people that the Lord has prepared to accept the gospel. Paris has such a natural desire to follow God and the Spirit that I honestly didn't have to do much to help her prepare. 





We are trying to get Sister Seppi all ready before she leaves this Thursday to go home! She requested gator for lunch and building Legos for her last pday in Florida. All I can say is mission accomplished. We did it!











I hope you all have an amazing week and remember to look for ways to reach out to those around you!

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
