Hello Family!!!
I feel like I sound
like a broken record but I can't help but say that I feel like it was
just yesterday that I was sitting here writing yall! The weather here has
been FREEZING. Not really but freezing to me. Its Tornado season
and I guess its normal for it to be super hot and sunny one day and then super
cold the next. What is up with thaaat???
We have been super
busy this week! One major highlight was The
huge Pig Roast that the Capps family puts on
every year! It started out as just a fun get together
for the people the missionaries here were teaching along with the Capps
and now its a huge Missionary event! Members are welcome to come and bring
their nonmember friends and we as missionaries invite everyone we are teaching
and so on and so forth.
The Capps have a
huge farm with aton of pigs so once a year they kill a pig and put it in
the ground on top of 2 feet of hot coals and cook it for
24 hours. Then they take it out and its is some delicious
meat! So we invited EVERYONE. We had flyers and just handed them
out like candy. It was awesome. It was a huge success too! there
were over 100 people there and way more than half of them were
nonmembers. SO FUN.
Mi
Cumpleanos! Thank you so much Mom and Dad for the package! It was so
fun to get that! Our Relief Society President (who I adore) surprised me with a
huge cake from Kroger that said "Happy Birthday Sister Moline."
That was sweet and such a tender mercy!
On Friday we had our
Zone Meeting and it was awesome. I love getting together with other
missionaries and sharing Emmaus Experiences and hearing about miracles others
are witnessing. Miracles happen people!!
******!!! Hooray for ****** because she just got a job at Taco Bell! We have been praying
for her to get a job recently and I couldn't be happier because Taco bell is
the love of my life. So yay for her! Except not yay for her because she
didn't come to church. Again. Oh I was so sad! I was so devastated when
she told us she had to go into work at the same time church started. It
is the saddest thing when people don't realize the importance of church.
A few funny/crazy
thinggssss:
1) A crazy Jewish man
that we met not too long ago texted us randomly and said that he has been
trying to locate the lds prophet's number so that he can request a baptism in
the Salt Lake City temple. This guy is not all there in the head but this just
cracked me uppp. We laughed for a good minute and then asked him if we
could meet up with him and explain baptism!
2) An awesome member
in the ward got up to bear his testimony on Sunday and started out with
"This Church is the kingdom of God yall." It was one of the
best testimonies I have ever heard!
I am in love with my
life! Seriously, I am the happiest person. I don't know why either.
We are not teaching many people and no one got baptized and the work is still
pretty slow. This week was kind of rough too. But I am so
happy! During studies I have been really focusing on the
Book of Mormon and reading it first before I do anything else. This has been
a blessing. I have noticed how excited I get to just open it up and have
some one on one BOM time. Also we got the General Conference
Ensign this week and I have been devouring it. Just inhaling it!
Sister Anderson and I had a really cool discussion just about how the
gospel is helping us be better people. Who we want to be and who the Lord
wants us to be. I know the Gospel is true. This gospel is the
good life! No matter what may be going on in our lives the gospel brings us
happiness. I felt that especially as I got to partake of the sacrament
and reflect on my Savior's Atonement. And that I get to share
that with people! Tracting is no longer a pain or a burden, but something that
I look forward to. Because I am giving someone the chance to say yes to the
gospel of Jesus Christ. To say yes to the light and happiness the gospel
brings! I am living the good life. I am living the goood life for
sure.
Sorry this email is
kinda lame but I love you all and hope you have a wonderful week!! Sure love
you Moline's rock and missionaries rule!
Dios les bendiga y les
quiero mucho!!
