Escobar, Week 68: So blessed

Hello Family! 

Everything is going well. This week was incredible. We more than doubled our lessons with a member and everything. We have one investigator thats name is Feliciano. He is a neighbor of a Peruana familia. He is from Peru. Anyways, he loves the church and everything. We have an appointment with him today afterwards and I am super excited! 

We are so blessed in the United States. With our houses, food, clothes, technology, security, and freedom. I grow more and more fond of Argentina and the people, but as I do it, I always remind myself the blessings that I experience that others dont´here. Its something that is ingrained deeper and deeper. I will feel guilty sleeping in my own bed and my own room someday. 

Today we have a zone activity, so we are going to see how that goes. They won't tell us any details but it should be interesting. 

This past week the area had a training from the Area Presidency and apparently it went really well. They talked a lot about the missionaries and missionary work and how it solves all of our problems. So I hope to see a little bit of a difference in the future. Being in an area for so much time is really different. It gets a little bit difficult because I feel like I have used up everything, all my ideas and experiences and ways to find to teach. That's why I am grateful for my 3rd companion, Elder Adams, he adds some different perspectives of the work. Definitely a blessing. 

I am looking to buy a cheap voice recorder in order to be able to do a more detailed journal kind of thing. They aren´t really common anymore but we shall see what comes up! 

I love you all! 

Next week I will attach pictures! 

Love,

Escobar, Week 67: Don't have anytime!

Well, 

This week was really great! I am sorry I don´t have anytime. We had these surveys to do and everything so I have been doing those for about 30 minutes. 

But the trio is doing really well, We went on a lot of divisions this week. We found a lady named Norma who seems really promising but we shall see. 

We just got back from a place called puerto del fruto, its a touristy place and its super cheap. I bought some gifts already for all you. Not everyone, I still have a lot more to buy but I have time. 

Its been a great week. A week I will remember for a long time. I don´t have much to explain because I have to get to work in 2 minutes! Obedience! 

I love you all! 

Love,

Escobar, Week 66: Transfers!

Well family, 

This is going to be a short letter. Really short. We had transfers! ANNNNNND... I am in the same area! Transfer 4 week 1. Escobar. Also, I have the same companion! Elder Balbuena! But there is a twist. We recieved a third companion. Elder Adams from Provo, Utah! We will be a trio. The assistants to the President called and they said it was something that the President felt really strongly about so it happened! So far so good. It will be an interesting challenge and also a blessing for all of us. We will see how it goes. 

This week, nothing really happened out of the ordinary. We are working a lot more with the members and seeing a difference in their attitude about the work of Salvation! So thats always a blessing. 

This week a lot of friends wrote me telling about how things are changing. Josh left on the mission! That's incredible. Others are doing their papers, others are in school in some cool programs and others are working and being blessed. Its super wierd to be seeing my friends leaving on missions and everything. Who will be there when I get home? The Lord is blessing everyone. Where much is given much is required. 

I am learning a lot and the time is sure flying! I don't want it to stop. 

I love you all! 

Love, 

Elder Moore

Escabar, Week 65: Long and Difficult

Well Hello Family! 

I hope everything is alright! 

This is has been very long and difficult. But thats what is expected sometimes in the mission. The whole mission is kind of in a slump right now. 

Training brings a new experience every day. I am trying to be patient and loving and not hold grudges. Sometimes its very hard but Thanks to my Savior. I can do it. The ward is doing well. We just finish the trimester reports.- We definitely learned a lot about the status of the ward. Lets just say that Home Teaching and Visiting Teaching is a LOT more important than 90% of the members think. If you want to have 150 members in the Church and 900 less active then don´t do your teaching assignments. But if not. DO your VISITS. 

This last week was pretty cool weather wise. Cold in the mornings which is the best. But everything is going great. We don´t have any investigators right now so we are once again on the hunt! 

We visited 26 less actives this past week. It was great. We have lots of people to reactivate but these people basically don´t feel missed by the ward so they don´t go to church. It's sad. We are trying to establish stronger missionary work with the members. We got some good ideas that I cant´wait to try. Our missionary leader is awesome. Definitely magnifies his calling . I love working with people that take things seriously! Its so much less frustrating. 

If I am here this next transfer. I will go to the zoo here which I heard is pretty cool. Its time to start filling the camera cards even more! 

Anyways, thats all I have for now. 

I love you all! 

Love, 

Elder Moore
