Hello!
Well, family I have 30 minutes to write and then get back to the work!
Today we went early to play soccer and volleyball and made smoothies. They were great! Mango and Kumquats (which are weird) and everything.
This week was very busy. Walking with a purpose every day in every part of the area. The ward is really progressing in the missionary work. For 8 weeks we have been talking with the ward about goals, ward missionaries, regular meetings, people to accompany the missionaries, home teachers and plans. The past 2 weeks they established home teachers, called a new Relief Society presidency, have had 2 meetings that are now regular every week, and then they just called and set apart 3 ward missionaries. IT'S AWESOME. I feel like the missionaries and the ward are starting to work together. It's a great feeling. :)
Here's a funny story. One day we were walking to a house of a less active. We were talking with the family outside and out of the corner of my eye I saw a lady of about 60 years watching us. We said goodbye and as we were walking I made eye contact with this person, my companion too. We decided to detour and talk to her. She is from a providence north of here. She has a big family and we talked to her about the Plan of Salvation. She accepted to listen to us. We came back the next day and taught about the Restoration because she is Catholic. She accepted the lesson and told us that she was going to pray, but then she told us a story about how when she was alone one day, pregnant she went into labor early. 3 people came to her in a white shirt and tie and helped her to the hospital. Then when they returned a few days after she gave them lunch but they only ate seeds and honey and grains. (In this moment my companion and I looked at each other and he whispered the 3 Nephites.) We left and we came back the next day. She told us that she had news for us. That she said her prayer and something came to her memory. She went and retrieved an old book and opened it up. And a picture was there; a picture of three Elders. The first Elders that opened up the area where she was. They were all dressed in white. She then realized that she was a baptized member of the church! It was a very happy moment for us (also sad because we lost an investigator that was progressing) but it was great!
So that is my story of the week. Very interesting.
Thanks for all your prayers! I love you all!
Love,
Elder Moore
