All we do all day is archery

Hello everybody!

Sorry it has been a little bit again! But update, I'm down to my last 3 weeks! Sister Wilding and I are working so so hard right to the finish! So here's a couple of the miracle from the last couple of weeks! 

Ashley

So Ashley is a friend of ours that we found two weeks ago. We were out visiting people who had been previously taught and she was one of them. We pulled up and she was standing outside, which was a little awkward and we almost drove away, but we asked if we could share a message with her and her family and she said yes! We gave her a Book of Mormon and asked if we could come back and she said yes! We took a member with us the second time and turns out Ashley went to prom with our members brother when they were in high school, how crazy is that! God is aware and the world is a lot smaller than we think! It was also so special to see this member and Ashley bonding over struggles of motherhood because it's just a fact that I cannot relate to that. Members are so important! 

Lemonade stand ladies!




The Narcoossee sisters and us every so often will set up a little free lemonade stand at the lakefront to find people. Well this week we decided to set up a little table more in downtown St Cloud. We had a sign up sheet for people who would like to hear an Easter message and we ended up getting three people to sign up which is more than we've ever had from the lemonade stand! So we are hopeful that we will keep seeing that kind of success from it! 





Jacqueline!

Ok this lady is amazing! We read with her from the Book of Mormon a week or so ago and she loved it!! And she watched all five sessions of conference and loved those!! We had a great phone call with her this last week and she was just telling us all of the things that she learned. She absolutely loved the emphasis on families and repentance during conference and we were able to testify of how important those things are in God's plan for us! 

Referrals!

So in the last 3 weeks Sister Wilding has been here, we have given out 5 referrals to 4 different sets of missionaries haha. We are handing them out left and right. It's actually been so cool to see how even though we haven't been teaching any of them, they are coming closer to Christ and we are all apart of one big work. 

Love share invite!

We have been doing this really cool thing with our members and I wanted to share! We have this wall in our house that has absolutely nothing on it. Then Sister Wilding had the great idea to give our members pieces of paper, have them write a missionary experience on it, and then we could decorate our wall with them! We've handed out a bunch of cards and every member has loved it! The best part has been helping them realize they are already doing missionary work and giving them the support and confidence they need to keep it up! Members are so important to this work! 





Temple!

Y'all this is the biggest miracle of them all! For the first time on my mission, they let the missionaries all go to the temple together! A whole session of just missionaries! It was such a good day. I honestly can't say I gained a whole lot of revelation that day (haha) but it was just so nice to sit and be still for a few moments. If you haven't gone to the temple lately, I'd encourage you to go! You will not regret it!




Those have just been a couple of the highlights for us over here in St Cloud, Florida! I hope you all have a great week and that you are able to feel God's love!

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
