Dear Mom,

Yes I have no more dizzy spells anymore. I am still lightheaded and still have a headache and I think that comes from stress. I am glad you're feeling better!!

Wow Thanksgiving sounds amazing and then having a long break and before you know it your little girl, your best friend will be home!!! I am excited for you!!! I can't wait to meet Danny, it will be weird to see my hot mama with a man but I will get use to it pretty quickly!

Yes I heard about France.... So many people told me. I can't believe that happened? Why did it happened? Why would people do those things? I know there is a plan along the way. There was a Chinese couple that came into English class and we hit it off pretty fast. We got pretty close to each other. They told me about France. They cried and asked us to pray for them. I got the strong impression to ask them if they know how to pray. They said no. I told them that we will teach them the next time they come. They are excited and they are pure in heart!

Today is so warm for some reason. I am sweaty like a pig and don't need my jacket. I hopes its stay like this till I go home haha.
 
This week I struggled so much but I know that I can keep going.   "There is opposition in all things." The lessons I have learned this week was that sometimes we get put into a maze. Should I turn left or should I turn right? Should I go forward or should I go backward? Most of the time the answer is, "I don't know." Sometimes we keep going and find ourselves in the dead end or moving ourselves further away from the the destination. My question is, "Have you inquired of the Lord which way you should go?" The choices we make now will affect our future. I must admit that I did pray oft and did fast oft. These two are so powerful together. A few weeks ago we had a district meeting and we talked about how we can build that relationship and trust with church leaders. I decided to fast and pray this week and we called the relief society president and branch president and made appointments with them in their busy schedules. The young women president called us and we had lunch with her. It all happened on the same day I was fasting and it was incredible to see. We talked about their goals, plans, and visions. It will be hard work but I know with faith we can continue to improve the work in this branch. I am excited to see where the next 6 weeks takes us. I also pray and fast for a lot of things and it was awesome to see how the spirit can truly open my eyes to a new perspective. 

We did two maze activities with two people we have taught. First lets talk about Lucy. She was a less active we brought back to church. The elders told us that so many missionaries have tried to get her to come back. We said it is because we love her and remind her of the covenant she had made in her baptism. We did a maze activity which we set up all the chairs and the end destination is Christ. We blind folded her and she had to find her way to Christ. She kept bumping herself into the chairs and getting further away from the destination. I was having a hard time watching her, I jumped in and grabbed her hand and led her to Jesus Christ. We asked her how she felt being alone and she said she felt scared and didn't have anyone leading her. We asked her that when I jumped in how did she feel. She responded, "peace." We talked about the gospel of Jesus Christ and how it helped us receive eternal life. A member called and invited her to church and she came. She is slowly coming back! 

Then we did it with Lila. Before we started the Spanish missionaries were practicing singing for transfer, Lila wanted to hear them sing and she felt the spirit. We had her go through the maze on her own and she was going through different directions. Sister Johnson jumped in and started speaking to her the right direction and I jumped in as well as leading her the wrong direction and she was confused as to what voices to follow. We sat down and blended the lesson with how Heavenly Father has never left us alone. He has given us tools along the way. The lesson was so powerful and the Spanish missionaries music was in the background. We know that Lila felt the spirit so strong! We can see it in her eyes! She came to church and so many members welcomed her in and it was amazing to see. 

Zena, one of our investigators should be getting baptized this Sunday. We will see what happens with her husband, Zack. Her husband should be getting baptized with her. He might have to work so pray that everything will work. I am excited! They are so ready!!

I know the gospel is real! I know that God lives and loves us forever. I am so grateful for everything my Dear Heavenly Father has given me. I know whatever I am going through, with the Savior Jesus Christ by my side, I will endure it well. Let us all help God keep His promise by doing all things He asked us to do so we can return to live with Him again.

I love you,
Sister Moore
