Hey Mama!

I was trying to organize and eliminate sections of this letter because a lot has happened today. I want to write down the miracles we have received! Hope you will enjoy it!

Through all the ups and downs in the beginning, we have received so many blessings in the end. This past week we have received a lot of changes to the mission rules. Sister Larsen and I had decided to obey it with a willing heart. We have seen so many miracles  that come from it. Yesterday was one of the most powerful days I have ever experienced and I know it was because of our obedience to the Lord and our expression of love for others and for our Savior.

Here is a story about my 3rd great grandfather, David H. Cannon. He was a man of great faith. He was called by Prophet Brigham Young to be the St. George temple president. David was hesitant because of his word of wisdom issue which is smoking. His brother George asked David this question, "You have been called by the Lord to do something that you are not ready or not prepared to do. So what should you do about it?" David pondered and then answered the question. "I should prepare myself to do it and I will!" David prayed and asked God to help him stop smoking his pipe. Here was the answer to his prayer, David was gored by a bull, causing both of his collarbones to be broken, which means he had to bound both of his arms to his chest. That answer to his prayer allowed him to stop smoking. His wife, my 3rd great grandmother felt bad he couldn't smoke his pipe and offered to help him smoke his pipe. He said no and to leave it on the mantle and he never touched it again for the rest of his life. He used that pipe as a reminder that he had accomplished something great with the Lord's help he overcame his weaknesses.  I love how George asked his brother that question, "You have been called by the Lord to do something that you are not ready or not prepared to do. So what should you  do about it?" How can I help this person? How can I lead my family? How can I overcome this certain trial? And so forth. My answer to this question is: We have to work for it, prepare ourselves for it, and allow the spirit to teach us and help us become more Christlike.

We visited with our RC Melissa and Jessica and our investigator, A. A wanted to wear my missionary tag. She wore my tag and Jessica wore Sister Larsen's tag. We pretended to be investigators and A and Jessica were missionaries. They taught us about the tree of life and the symbols! It was super bomb. I felt A's testimony and happiness that comes from living the gospel. She knows it is true even though she is 11. It was so powerful!

Then we visited sweet blind L and listened to President Ucthdorf's talk from the recent general women broadcast. It was emotional for her. Whenever she cries, it always pierces Sister Larsen and mine hearts. The spirit was in the room. I love what President Ucthdorf said, "We didn't come to earth to be sad. We came to earth to receive joy!" I love it!

Afterward we visited with AM. We were finally able to actually teach her after 2 weeks trying to teach her. She was at a point that she wanted to give up. We shared a talk by President Ucthdorf's talk from the recent ensign magazine about keeping our torch lit and never giving up. If you haven't read it, you should sometime! It's so good! AM's baptism date fell through twice. She felt like a disappointment to us and to the church. We explained to her that we love her and that we want to help her keep going and keep fighting. Sister Larsen and I feel that the reason why her date fell through was because God wanted her to be making the covenant as a family. Her daughter turns 8 in November, and her husband will one day soften his heart. We all know he will. The spirit was so strong, I can't even describe the feeling. AM texted us saying that she felt the spirit so strong and that this was the right path for her. It was amazing!

We visited S after. This lesson with her was so powerful! S doesn't talk much. She doesn't open up about her life. Sister Larsen and I felt inspired to listen and ask inspired questions. S opened up soooo much which gave us more understanding about her. We went by the spirit and testified often. I felt prompted to tell her how much her Heavenly Father loves her and wants her to be happy. He wants her to feel the fullness of joy by taking the next step. S immediately answered, "Baptism?" Yes baptism. She said, "I have been thinking about it." You should pray about it with a date. She is excited. She knows it will bless her life! The spirit was so amazing. Again, can't describe it! 

Obedience is a powerful tool. When we obey, we show our love for our Savior. When we obey, we will easily receive inspirations, have clearer revelations, easily recognize the spirit, and receive that fullness of joy that Heavenly Father has to bestow upon us. We have been in tune with the spirit and it helped us discern the needs of our people in the pool! Obedience is truly the first law of heaven and it brings blessings into our lives. 

I love you! I am so grateful for you! The mission is the hardest but it is the greatest!

Elder Bennett and his wife

Hey mama!

This week was a good week. First off, let's talk about President Bennett from the quorum of seventy. That man can talk. He talked to us for 3 hours straight and we had lunch and then he talked for 2 more hours. It was a really good meeting. He had a huge desire to help us become a better missionary and person. He mainly talked about obedience and that is the first law of heaven. His wife told us a really cute story. This happened when she was about 17 years old. She had a father that never expressed love. He never kissed his wife or said I love you to her or to the children. He just sat in his living room and read the newspapers. One day Sister Bennett knocked into (I think it was a prophet). Back then they didn't have tv so she didn't know what the prophet looked like. She fell and the prophet picked her up and grabbed her arms and looked into her eyes and said, "I want you to kiss your dad on the cheek and say I love you every night." At first she didn't want to. She didn't understand why. That man didn't know anything about her life nor about her father. Later she found out that that man was a prophet. The commitment that he extended to her was stuck in her mind. She decided to try it. She goes into the living room, kissed her dad on the cheek, said I love you and ran away to her room crying. 2nd time, same thing, 3rd time same thing. It was like kissing a statue and he had no emotion on his face. He didn't say anything. Few days later, same thing. Few weeks later, her father said I love you back to her and she was shocked for she had never heard him say that. Few days later, her father kissed her on the cheek and their relationship developed. Few weeks later, her father passed away. She was grateful that she was obedient to something she couldn't understand why. Heavenly Father knew. He had told that prophet to tell her to do a certain thing that she didn't want to do especially when the prophet didn't know her. But she went forth with faith and it gave her a tremendous blessing. It's important to be obedient and when we obey, we receive blessings, joy, happiness, and protection.

We have a new investigator and she is tough but sweet. She was going for a successful life, she had everything planned out, she was planning on being an actress and then one night changed all and she was pregnant. She is 23 years old with a 1 year old daughter. She struggles to take care of her. The family is fighting for the custody of her daughter and it's been hard for her. She doesn't feel like she can change. She is carrying the burden on her back. We promised her that as she continues to meet with us, she will find greater joy, peace, and happiness as she learns about the gospel. We are meeting with her on Wednesday so we are super excited.

Members at the funeral

On Friday, We went to a funeral. It was one of the member's mother who passed away. We have never met the mom but felt prompted that we should attend. We went to the Wake. This member's name is Debbie. Debbie was the only member at the wake and she was so happy to see two sister missionaries walk in. She kept introducing us to her family and friends and what we received back was death glares. We kept smiling and we are truly happy. Sister Larsen and I talked about how grateful we were to be raised in the church and in a family that taught us to love everyone no matter what religion they are in or no matter how much they hate us or wrong us and etc. we love everyone. They are children of our Heavenly Father. They are our brothers and sisters. We went back to the funeral that night. Five of us members were there but two of us were wearing the tag. Of course we got more death glares but that's okay, we met some awesome people. One thing I was amazed at was that Debbie didn't care. She loves the gospel and she wasn't ashamed to share it with other people and introduce them to us. There was a pastor that preached to the congregation at the service. It was interesting because the members and I couldn't feel the spirit. He was reciting things but there were no testifying or no passions. It was weird and different. Afterward we wanted a picture with a member so Sister Larsen went and asked a lady to take a picture for us and she looked at Sister Larsen's tag and said no.  Well it's kinda of sad to see people act this way. We love her even though we didn't know her. 

Thursday night, we received a random call and it was an elder who has returned from his mission a month ago in Taiwan. He said there was a lady  and she is from China and she was coming to Long Island for school. We contacted her and she is excited to meet us. She has finals for school so we won't be able to meet her till next week. Yay another Chinese person to teach! 

Temple Bound!

We went to the temple yesterday for Melissa and Jessica's first time. It was so interesting to see how anxious they were to go to the temple. It was such a powerful experience as I sat watching them get confirmed and baptized for those on the other side of the veil. We sat on the bench waiting for other people to get dried  and ready to go, Melissa and Jessica were telling me how excited they were to do baptisms for the dead for their family. They explained how each family members who have passed away and how much each one of them means something to them. They are going to the temple on Wednesday. 

Baby shower gifts

After two weeks, we finally saw AM again!!!!  She had a fancy baby shower yesterday and she was given a lot of gifts. She asked us to help her bring up the gifts to her house. Yay for services because we got to see her again!

Another cool thing happened yesterday! Our ward mission leader, Brother Carlson, gave a talk yesterday. He talked about missionary work. It was such a great talk and because of his talk, we have so many people inviting us over for dinner this week, and texting us on how they could help our investigators and less actives we are working with. They asked how they can help us and bring others to come unto Christ! They also wanted to start scripture studies in their home and invite our investigators and less actives and help them. The Lord's work is truly hastening. I know miracles are about to happen!

Since Bill lives right by Melissa and Jessica's home, he comes over a lot and he just listens to us talk about the gospel. Bill is a 60 year old less active and hasn't been to church in a very very long time. The Elders had a hard time talking with him. But he is so sweet to us. On Tuesday, we taught the gospel to Melissa and Jessica and Bill randomly walked right in. I had the impression to ask him a question, "Bill, how have you seen Heavenly Father show his love for you?" His answer was simple and sweet. He whispered, "Because Heavenly Father fixed me. He fixed my leg, he fixed my feet, he fixed my heart." He was smiling so big. After he answered, he got up and walked out. Yesterday, Bill came and had such a big smile on his face. People were welcoming him back and expressing their love for him. When Brother Carlson spoke, he was touched. He went and talked to the leaders of the church and he wanted to help people. He wants to invite people to his home and do scripture study. Sister Larsen and I were just so amazed. He is such a sweet man and I am so excited for him and that he getting back on track.

We also have another new investigator, G.  He is A's grandpa. We always see him and say hi but never really talked with him till last week.  Last Sunday, we parked in front of Melissa and Jessica's house and G was sitting on the trunk of his car. I went out to talk to him and then a few minutes later my companion came and joined. It was such a great conversation. Remember last week, A's mom and grandma wouldn't allow her to go to church. Well she came yesterday. We talked with G yesterday because he was sitting by his car reading. He saw us praying and asked what we were doing. We explained. We talked with him for 30 minutes and it was such an amazing conversation. G is the reason why A could come to church again. G knew that the church makes A happy. He explained to A's mother about the church and said, "Don't judge the church if you haven't been there before. Go and find out for yourself why the church makes her happy." G made a great point. He hasn't been to church for a long time. He asked us about the organization of the church we are in. We explained. He said he is coming to church this Sunday. He is so excited!!

 I have been waiting for the right moment to talk about K. K is a super bomb member. She has a strong testimony and is full of love. She is so in tune with the spirit and receives revelation pretty clearly. I hope to be like her. She is married to a RM but he went apostate. They are still married. They have two little kids and they are so cute. When her husband left the church she heard a voice, "3 years." It's been two years and she feels strongly that her husband will come back to the church next summer. Last week we stopped by while K went to Utah. Her mom was in town taking care of the kids. So we wanted to make sure everything was going well. K's husband saw us and went into the kitchen and started making dinner and invited us to stay and eat with the family. K's mom was so surprised. It was the first time he made a meal for the family the whole time she has been there (2 weeks) it was so good and I can tell he is changing. K texted us a spiritual thought and invited us and AM and her daughter for Family Home Evening tonight. K keeps asking how she can help us and increase the Lord's work!! I love that girl to death. I can't wait for you to meet her! You would love her!!

I love you mama!!

P.S.  My cochlear implant appointment went really good! Not major changes or anything like that.

She did make the sounds a little louder and she did explain that my t-mic wasn't working and was broken and that why I couldn't understand anyone. She gave me a spare one to keep and now that is loud.  She ordered two more t-mics to make the sound louder and clearer for both of my cochlear implant.  She also changed the programs of my cochlear implant. Left Side: switch 1- normal sounds Switch 2- louder sounds Switch 3- turns the sound off from the world and Connect the phone (like Bluetooth) and I can hear the phone louder and clearer Right side- same thing except switch 3 is music. It went pretty good. I am understanding a little better. Just have to do listening practices again.

We Love Captain America!

                                                                  
Heyo!

This week has been stressful again but it was easier than last week. Yesterday Bishop Smith asked me to give a talk right before sacrament meeting because one of the speakers didn't show up. I had mainly decided to talk about Alma 36: 3, "I beseech of thee that thou wilt hear my words and learn of me; for I do know that whosoever shall put their trust in God shall be supported in their trials, and their troubles, and their afflictions, and shall be lifted up at the last day." This past week I have noticed that Satan is working so hard against the people in the ward and I wanted to remind them to keep fighting and keep serving and keeping loving. 

We went apple picking this morning.  This is how our companionship works and the little girl is feeding me some apple :)

On Monday, we taught a family again.  Well, that night was awesome. The husband had helped out with the kids and sat with the family for the first time in a long time for dinner. The grandpa  also joined in the kitchen and ate with us. Sister Larsen had told me that it was the first time in 6 months that she served here that had ever happened. We then decided to watch the Book of Mormon animated movie about Lehi's vision of the tree of life. The family watched together and had their eyes glued to the tv. Their oldest son was explaining the movie to us afterward. He is a smart dude. They were so happy together and it was cool to see how the gospel can bless their lives and strengthen their family relationship. I love seeing these miracles happen.

Brother Carlson, Sister Carlson, Sister Cutting, Me, Sister Lobo (who use to serve in Terryville), Brother Dyber, Sister Dyber, Elizabeth, Sister Larsen, Sister Lesuma (Sister Lovo's companion), Sister Cheri Peacock (she is home now, she found Elizabeth last year), and her boyfriend, Lance.

We went to the temple with Elizabeth on Tuesday to receive her endowment. It was powerful and it was cool to watch Elizabeth through the whole process. She held tight on my hands and she was crying. I could tell it was some thing new for her but at the same time she was feeling the spirit so strong. It was amazing! Temples are so powerful. When making covenants with God, how can we doubt that His Gospel is true? Afterward we went out to eat. I started getting a really bad headache and stomachache and pretty much slept in the car the whole ride home. Then my companion got so sick and we both wanted to throw up. At one point my companion thought I was dead... I think. We are both better now :)

We are so excited to do the dishes!

We went over to a  home to help a sister pack up her house. Before we started, Sister Larsen and I wanted to help her with the one thing she felt like she was struggling with, feeling the Holy Ghost. We taught her the lesson of the Holy Ghost. We read from Preach My Gospel together, watched a video, shared our experiences. One thing I noticed is that Preach My Gospel said, "Do not be afraid of silence" because it gives them a chance to process their thoughts.  In her mind she was listening, she was pondering, you could tell she had a desire to feel the love Heavenly Father has for her. She was so happy as we continued to pack up her home. She finally finished one room and she was filled with joy that she accomplished something great. Before we left, she gave us a hug. She simply said, "I wanted to tell you something. For the first time in a long time I finally felt the Holy Ghost today. I felt so much peace and happiness. Thank you so much." We smiled knowing that we allowed the spirit to teach her. The next few times we helped her, she was so happy and we are grateful for the Lord letting us know what her needs were and how we could help her.

We played a game

              We felt prompted to go see the Chinese people that were in our area book.  My first Chinese investigator on Long Island lives there but the elders decided to take him and teach him and they are doing great. I am happy for them. But there were 8 other Chinese people that live with him. We showed up and their English is okay. I decided to speak English with them at first and then all the sudden I spoke Chinese with them and it was awesome! Thanks to my trainer Sister Johnson for always telling me to keep studying Chinese whether I was in the Chinese program or not. I am really grateful that I have been studying Chinese daily or I would have not been prepared to speak with them. They are all so pure in heart and ready! I also prayed to allow the Lord to use me as a tool to speak Chinese and He has answered my prayers. We will be visiting them often.

庄翔宇  is amazing. The elders were also teaching her and finally we got to teach her, thanks to the Law of Chastity lesson :) She has been coming to church every week and has such  powerful questions and lots of wisdom. She helped so many relief society members yesterday. She feels happy in the church and we talk often. She told us that she wanted her husband to come to church. Her husband came yesterday to church for the first time. It was awesome. She is so happy he came. I am so excited to keep working with her.

We played Apple to Apple with Melissa, Jessica and Adrianna.  Look at my wonderful attributes :(  Totally describes me...haha

Melissa and Jessica received the Holy Ghost yesterday.  I love Mother and Daughter baptisms and confirmations. They can be so emotional sometimes. When Melissa went up to receive the Holy Ghost, Jessica wanted me to hug her as she folded her arms. She was so happy and excited to receive her's. I loved Melissa's blessing because the priesthood leader said, "She will have the strength of recognizing the spirit and acting upon those feelings she receives."Melissa came down to the bench and it was Jessica's turn. While Jessica receive her's, Melissa started crying. One thing I love about the blessing Jessica received was that Heavenly Father is so proud of her and that she will be bringing a lot of success to Heavenly Father's work. When they reunited back to the church bench, they both hugged and they cried. I'm so proud of them. They came a long way. They will bring so much joy as they continue to build the Lord's kingdom. For the first time, Melissa and Jessica had decided to separate and go to the classes they were assigned to go to. It was cool to see that. After church they had surprised us with a temple recommend in their hands. We are going to the temple with them next week! Ahhhh! It was such a happy moment for all of us. 

In this picture, she did my hair!

                                                                     

We brought dinner to Melissa and Jessica yesterday and A was there.  At the end of the lesson, A asked one of the nonmembers to join us for the closing prayer. She explained to him what a prayer was, and said the most beautiful prayer ever. We will continue to work with her and see what happens. She helped Melissa and Jessica. She can change many lives in the church. I believe in her. She has potential! 

We had another lesson with S. Her car broke down yesterday so she couldn't come to the Terryville church yesterday but a friend from a different branch offered her a ride and took her to Riverhead. So we decided to go over and teach her. We taught her and the spirit was so strong. She then started to say that she had a feeling to move to New York from New Jersey, then she became really good friends with a member from Riverhead, and through her, she met us. She said God had a reason. All the reasons led her to the Mormon Church. She said her heart felt whole and she feels right about being on this path. S has received that witness for herself. We are so excited to keep helping her progress. I love her so much.

A is a less active that we been trying to work with and teach. She is doing awesome now. She stopped coming to church because her little boy can be crazy and a little bit wild. She doesn't have a husband so she is on her own. Well, she has been coming back 4 weeks in a row now. She has been attending activities and all. She is so happy that she can fulfill her calling in the YW. She is planning to receive her endowment in March.  I love seeing the changes she has made and seeing her from sadness to full of joy and smile on her face. 

AM, my heart breaks for her. She kept on canceling lessons with us. She is so strong in her faith and keeping all the commitments but the real struggle is coming to church. She is trying so hard to come to church but her husband is not being supportive and she is starting to give up hope. She is so sad because she can't come to a place where she knows it's true and it brings true happiness in her life. We told her to keep going. We are not giving up on her. We invited her to pray and read scriptures and listen to the spirit to help figure out a way. We told her Nephi's story, " I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them." We promised her that as she continues to rely The Lord, the Lord will help her overcome this stumbling block. We fasted for her yesterday and I have faith in her. It's all going to be okay.

I want to share my testimony. I know this gospel is the only way we can return to our Father in Heaven. The gospel brings a lot of peace and joy in our lives. The gospel heals and strengthen people especially in family. The gospel changes lives only if we allow the gospel to be planted into our heart. I know Jesus Christ loves us and wants us to take His hands and let Him guide us. Jesus Christ is my Savior, He is my Redeemer, He is my Best Friend. He loves us and care for us and I love Him. Only through him, can we return back to our heavenly home. I love you mom! 

Love

Your Daughter,

Sister Moore 

Hello Mom!!

Well.... What a week.....

I guess I am going to give a spiritual thought. This week has been one of the hardest weeka Sister Larsen and I have ever faced. I guess Satan knew we were about to accomplish something great and he wanted to make sure we didn't get it. M and J's baptism was yesterday. It was amazing. But there was a lot of trials that happened before. Let start at the very beginning.... A good place to start....

-On Thursday, we called the elders to see if they have the keys to the baptismal closet. They said they do. We show up at the church. They thought we meant the baptismal font key. The members with the key live out of town. We contacted the relief society president, Sister Cutting.  We drove ten minutes there and then ten minutes back. We got the baptismal suits for M and J to try.

-We went into the church library to print out the baptismal program. Printer doesn't work. Ink won't come out. When it does print out, boxes form and cover the words. So that means we have to use someone's computer to print the program. Library cost 10 cents per paper.

- Went to M and J's place to try out the baptismal suits. We found a suit that fit J. None of the suits fit M. She couldn't zip them up herself. So we have to go and find a bigger suit for her.

- Sister Dyber texted explaining that her husband won't be able to perform the confirmation next Sunday since they will be out of town. They suggested that Hank who perform the baptism and William who was suppose to perform the confirmation switch or perform the confirmation right after the baptism. Sister Larsen and I knew the rule and preach my gospel said that new convert's confirmation must occur in sacrament meeting the following Sunday for certain reasons.  

- We got a bigger suit for M and it was soooo big.... She looked like a sumo wrestler. The crotch was way down to her ankles. She could pull the baptismal suit over her head to hide her face. M started to feel discouraged. We told her not to give up. We told her that The Lord will always provide a way for us.

-We went to south shore church (20 minutes away) hoping to find a suit that is her size. We found the one that could possibly fit. Sister Larsen and I prayed that it would fit. M tried it all and it fit!! #Miracles

But that is not all.....

Satan was also making sure we didn't have confidence in ourselves so he started sending us negative thoughts and comments. Sometimes some people think Missionaries are so perfect and can handle anything. We are just so worn. There were things that were out of our control and we get blamed for them. People were just so mad at us, we either aren't enough for them or not doing good enough. Plus people just got mad at me for being deaf. Sister Larsen and I were frustrated. This week was the very first time we got frustrated with each other for our problems and then we realized that it was Satan that was causing the contention with the members and with the companionship. My favorite thing about Sister Larsen and my companionship is that whenever we are frustrated we hug it out. So we hugged and we laughed and it seems like our frustrations go away. 

Yesterday, one of my deaf investigators from South Shore decided to come to Terryville and witness the baptism since she is planning to get baptized in the near future. So I had to interpret 3 hours of church and the baptism by myself. It was hard.

One of my Deaf investigators

Before the baptism, before church started,  there was so much stress that I got to the point that I wanted to get on my knees and pray. I felt this peace and warm feeling in my heart. I felt as if Heavenly Father was telling me this: "It will be okay, you are almost there. Just hold on a little bit longer. I will help you and I love you." I got up and went to work. The baptism finally happened! A very important and happy moment replaced all the trials and hardship Sister Larsen and I faced.  Fortunately, Satan did not win his battle. This past week Sister Larsen and I were studying the story of Job. This story can apply to anyone's life. We shared Job's story with everyone we taught this week and it helped them realize to keep fighting and not give up. I want to use Heather Hall's quote she sent me in the beginning of my mission when I was struggling, "Did you ever realize that Satan asked Heavenly Father for permission to tempt Job the way he did? Why do you think he got the go-ahead? Because the Lord wanted to be able to say "told-you-so!" :) He knew Job had unwavering faith and dedication so he wasn't worried. If you feel you are being put through the refiners fire, just think that the Lord might have ok'd it because he knows you can handle it and wants to prove Satan wrong with your strength!" My favorite scripture from the book of Job is Job 23:10, "But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold." Keep enduring to the end with a smile on your face and he will make you more beautiful and stronger. We will receive more blessings if we overcome certain situation with faith.  I'm so grateful for Job's example. I am so grateful I had the opportunity to study it because it definitely helped us a lot this week.

Satan Lost. Heavenly Father won!!!

Remember ML, She has been an investigator for a year now and refused to accept or commit to a baptism date. For the past three lessons we have taught her, it has been so spiritual and incredible. We felt the strong impression that we need to give her a date. We talked with her and the baptism date is December 27. She is so amazing! 

We are going to an endowment session tomorrow for one of the members who is receiving her own. It will be nice to go to the temple tomorrow. I am going to need it. 

President Reynolds and his wife came to our church yesterday to support M and J. I love Sister Reynolds. She and I were talking. She told me that her and her husband often talk about me. They pretty much just said this, "Sister Moore is just an angel sent from Heaven." I smiled at that. So cute right? Then she told me that my trainee was coming in this Monday on the 14. I was like... Ummmm.... What? So I am excited!!! So we will see what happens. I do hope that she comes!

 I don't know why I am good with children haha. This is S's 2 out of 3 children. The baby is crying on the other side wanting my full attention but refused to be with the other two haha. The children love me because I pay attention to them, play with them, and let them know I love them. S knows that I love them. She wants me to move to Tennessee and nanny her children after my mission.




This is A's daughter, M :) News with A. She is super strong and faithful! I love her. The only struggle is coming to church because her husband is not being supportive in coming. We moved her baptism date to October 4 on General Conference day :)





Yay for Labor Day, we worked all morning too :) We had a ward breakfast and it was fun!!!





Patty is super awesome. Her daughter, Jenny interprets at the South Shore ward. She wanted to get to know you and all. We talked about the phone call you had with her this morning at the breakfast and she said that she thinks you're the sweetest person ever. I showed her a picture of you and she said, "Wow! She is beautiful!!"





I can't believe I will be coming home on January 6. That is less than 4 months. Yeah, I can come home to the St. George airport :)  It's crazy!!! I also want to visit SLC few week later to see Max. I miss my big dog!!





I did not go to transfer meeting because there was no change in Sister Larsen and my companionship. Same companion. Same area :)





I am so excited to go to the audiologist. Get everything worked out!!

 We need more missionaries in the field.  We almost had about 300 missionaries in this mission but now we are like in the 100s and pools have been shutting down. Youth!!! Come serve your mission!! Haha. We are worrying, I will definitely encourage my kids to serve. If I have the option to serve again, I will do it in a heartbeat. It's the best thing that ever happened to me.

Love you Mama! Thanks for everything! Thanks for being my best friend!
