ELMINIO (in spanish it means child, but english it means rain!)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA MOORE :D

Man this week has been so crazy and exhausting!!! But I know that Heavenly Father has helped lead and guide me through this week. Thank you so much for your prayers! I love each and everyone of you!

   Tuesday: We woke up and started getting ready to go outside and exercise! yes I do run...do sit ups...and dips... and yes I almost die every morning....but not this morning :) It was pouring rain!! :D It was coming down so hard it was almost a Utah Storm! haha :) we watched the rain as we "exercised" inside and then did our studying. At that time :) It was time to go to the temple! awe yes! We went to the temple :) A lovely member drove us in the crazy weather (don't worry she grew up in Ogden Utah so she knew how to drive in the rain) We ate lunch, went to the temple and when we came out the rain was gone so we got to take pictures of Sister Mcculloch, Sister Burris, Sister Vorkink, and I :) Awe it was awesome! Then we had dinner with a family that is starting to come back to church! They are making it a goal to go get sealed in the temple :) Over all it was like the best day ever! We went to a Book of Mormon Class that the Elders put together. We hope to bring some of our Investigators next time to the class!

   Wednesday: Today we had DDM. We talked about how important it is to invite people to be baptized on the first lesson! Crazy right?!?! But I know that as I invite people to be baptized that they will feel the spirit and know that this is the path their Heavenly Father wants them to take! After DDM We went off to old people day with Eliza :) It went great! i love those cute old people! We went to see sister Young and guess what we saw :) A possum! Sister Mcculloch prayed to see one on her mission and she did!! it was in Sister Young's Garbage can haha...it ended up dying two days later....but hey we got to see it alive! Then a Potential Investigator went to young women's and loved it! She is even coming to church! She is from a part member family, and is nervous to ask her parents for permission to take the missionary discussions because her mom is not a member, and has no desire to be a part of the church. But the daughter loves coming and knows that this church is true!

   Thursday: Planning...then we went out with Shelly and taught Santos...he was busy, but he want to visit with us so he worked on a steamer while we talked...don't ever do that...the Spirit isn't there and he started talking about random things! We did talk about how his Heavenly Father loved him,  how He gave us families, and Prophets. Then he asked if we believed in aliens...REALLY!?!?! We left him a Restoration Pamphlet to read and we pray that he will read it!

    Friday: zzzzz......zzzzzzz.....so tired.....we woke up at 5 to go get our phone because we left it at the Smith Higgins house the night before...we had a meeting at 7:30...so we thought....but it was at 8:30...We got Tiwi's in the cars (it is a computer thing that tells you to drive safer) We didnt get Tiwi's on our bikes! haha but we did have to go to the conference! It was so powerful! We talked about the Elminio that is coming :) That means that it will rain on and off 2-3 days out of the week from December to February! :D I can't wait! We talked about what we can do to make the Sabbath a Delight for our investigators! Then we got back home around 5:30 and went to dinner with Sister Young and had a lesson with Troy and Arisha. then went home and slept!!!

    Saturday: We woke up so exhausted! We cleaned the church, went to studies and then Sister Williams went out with us! We tried 4 potential investigators and no luck! We went to this one house and some kids were running around. They stopped and talked to us and the little boy (8-10 years old) asks me, "Are you Cinderella?" I didn't realize what he said until a few minutes after haha but it was so cute and it made me feel good! Then we went to go see if we could help with an Eagle Scout Project, but when we got there they were done and starting to eat lunch...so we ate lunch haha :) and walked down the mountain visited a few less actives. Took a bathroom brake at Sister Sartains...as we were visiting with her we almost fell asleep! We were so tired!! But we walked back down the mountain taught Troy at the Park and walked home to meet our dinner appointment. We had In n out for dinner it was fun:) Sister Child is great!!  Had a few lessons after dinner, but ended up going home a few minutes early and falling asleep early....it felt nice!

  Sunday: We woke up early because we had a meeting at 7. Sister Mcculloch didn't remember about the meeting so as she was getting ready she looked at the clock and saw that it said 6:30! She was a little upset until I told her that we had a meeting at 7 haha :) it was funny! In the meeting we talked about how each of us have a park in helping the missionary work grow! I realized during this meeting that the only reason the church does activities is to have members bring their non-member friends come and feel the spirit! it's cool! :D Then we walked and walked after church....I am just exhausted!!

Wow It looks like a lot happened this week! A lot of spiritual strength and faith building! I know that My Savior lives and loves me and the people here in Corona :) I love hearing from you all! Hope you have a great week!!

OH and I almost forgot! a few weeks ago I held a lizard and a star fish!

Love,
Sister Moore
