 March 7, 2022 Hello everybody!  These last couple of weeks have been crazy busy full of trying to find people to teach! So nothing too crazy has happened but I do have a couple of miracles to share!  Marcelino!  Our friend Marcelino is on date for baptism at the end of the month, so we have been helping him work on quitting smoking. He is so prepared though and God has been giving him so much strength to give it up! He got a priesthood blessing yesterday and he said he felt like it was exactly what God wanted him to know! We love Marcelino so much so pray he can give up smoking so he can get baptized soon!  Rob! Sister Pierce and I try to do this thing where if we don't know what to do or where to go next we pray. There was a day we had been at the lakefront, but had left to go knock on a few less actives doors. We weren't having a lot of success and didn't know if we should keep going. So we prayed. We both felt like we should go back to the lakefront and stre...

February 14, 2022 Hello everybody!  I've been a little MIA lately, but I am doing so good! So here's the update on all the things from the last few weeks! Being bold with Salvator We have this friend named Salvator and he has a catholic background. So we have had to be pretty bold with him when teaching, but we have seen so many miracles come from that and he has gained so much understanding. We've taught him about the temple and that the blessings we receive in the temple can ONLY be found there. And we taught that the priesthood can only be found in our church, and there is power when ordinances are done with God's proper authority. He is so eager to learn and come closer to Christ. He told us he knows the Book of Mormon is true this last week so that was huuuge!! And hopefully we are going to get to start teaching his Jewish friends!! Marcelino! Wow! Marcelino is amazing! He is getting baptized on the 26th!! He's come to church the last two weeks and loves it. We...

January 24, 2022 Hello everybody! We are just living life up in the Canoe Creek area! So many good things happened the last couple of weeks so here's a quick update! Brenda! I have been really wanting to teach another family. So the other week we were going through our area book and came across this one lady. We called, shared a verse from the Book of Mormon and asked if she'd like to learn more, and she said yes! Well, when we went to drop off the Book of Mormon at her house, we ended up meeting her 11 and 8 year old sons! How awesome is that! And one of the boys was so excited to get the Book, he said, "mom! There's even a table of contents!" It was the cutest thing ever! So hopefully we will get to start teaching them more!  Marcelino! He is an incredible referral we got from some Sisters in New York! He wanted to learn more about the Book of Mormon! We went over and read part of it with him and explained what it was and he was so excited to start reading it. H...

January 10, 2022 Hello everybody! We have had a couple of crazy last couple of weeks, so I am just going to summarize real quick!  1- I got Sister Pierce and she is the best! We are basically the same person and are constantly laughing! 2-We put our friend Anthony on date for baptism for Jan 23! 3-We spent a lot of time calling people while we were in quarantine and had several miracles from that! 4-We found our friend Michelle over the phone, and she said that she was praying RIGHT BEFORE we called! Mind blown how God can work through us! 5-We found our friend Erin through Facebook and turns out she lives in Holopaw which is a really small town the Elders cover, so that was a huge miracle!  6-We found 7 new people this last week, which was HUGE for St Cloud because we have been struggling to find anyone lol 7-Sister Pierce FINALLY got to see a Sandhill crane! 8-We had to get an oil change that ended up taking 2 hours!

December 27, 2021 Hello everybody! I hope you all had a great Christmas! I know I sure did! We will get to that in a minute.  The last couple of weeks have been very very crazy! About a week and a half ago, Sister Seppi went home so she could be with her family for Christmas! So happy that I was able to he her companion even if it was just for 4 weeks! We got Sister Bryant to take her spot and I've been with her for the last 2 weeks! She is the freaking best! She went to Utah State too before the mission! Go Aggies!!!  This last week we had our mission Christmas devotional! We got to go to Orlando with half of our mission and it is was so good. They had a bunch of musical numbers and then in between those they had time for anyone to share their testimony. A lot of the missionaries who bore their testimonies talked about how missions are hard, like really hard, but they are worth it. They would share how they have been able to see miracles, come closer to Heavenly Father, and r...
