Better to get a mug than to get mugged

I hope you all have had a great week! I know that things can be hard at times, but they can always get better :) I love you all so much!!

Weds: The temple was great! I loved it! We were kinda a little scared because we almost missed the session! It was so beautiful! It was really hard because that is the last time I will be in the Temple as a missionary....ugh....this will never end ever!!! I got news...I'm never coming home!!!! haha :) Well after the temple we went out with Sister Gallegos :) I love her so much! Her and I are like the same person!!! She has 6 kids and looks 20 years old! I will have to send ya'll a pic...once I get one :) haha :)

Thursday: Planning day :) and we got to meet with Sister Glass :) She gave me three plates! they are hilarious! And then we walked :) and then we had dinner with Sister March :) and then we went on splits! I went with Sister Ames! I love her! She is so amazing! She has done so much. She didn't grow up in the church, and so to hear her stories....man she is wonder woman! a quote by her is "your body is a temple, not the visitors center" Then we went on exchanges!

Friday: I got to go back to Corona with Sister Meza! I got to see Sister Young, and Betty , and Sister Le Matser! AWE I loved those people so much! I got to see Holland too :) Awe so many good people! I cant' wait to see them all again! We got to help a recent convert (she is 12) write her first talk! It was so amazing!!! I wish I could hear it :)

Saturday: We got to have breakfast with members! I love Breakfast! :D and then we helped serve Breakfast for an eagle scout project!!! We also got to see Fritz :) I love that guy! He talks a lot and I love hearing his stories!!!! we walked a lot...we are running low on miles!

Wow!!! What A Week!

So I will do my best to tell ya'll what has happened the past two and half weeks! Sorry if I don't get to emailing you back.... A LOT HAS HAPPENED!!!

Tuesday: our first day together! Really I just can't believe that Sister Pielstick and I are back together! I almost had culture stock with all the people here!  I met Ruth she is 96 and can't hear so we literally have to pound on the door for her to hear us. She is so sweet! She gets really tired talking to us so we can only be there for 15-20 mins.

Wed- We went and tried a potential named Lynn. She watched the video and then said, "well I don't see anything wrong with it." haha so funny! Then her and Sister Pielstick clicked and they were sharing glasses, and Lynn was asking her personal questions like: where are you going to school, what are you studying, where she was from, and then in her closing prayer she said, "I am so grateful for these two lovely girls coming and sharing with me. They are really lovely Ladies and they are girls that I wish my son would marry." BAHAHAHAHHAHAH!!! It was so funny :)

Thursday: We had a training meeting for the leaders and such. It was cool to get training and stuff. Really all I get to do is go to meetings and go out with other sisters for a day and learn from one another. I really think I will learn more from them than anything. We had a great lesson with a less active. Sister T. I love her! She is the best!!!!

Friday: We walked for two hours. found MT. View Street. haha then we met Denise! She is so great! She is totally being prepared!!! AWE So many people so little time!

Saturday: Blitz day! We talked to so many people! And Sister Pielstick got so many return appointments and people wanted us to come back! We also taught Archie. He is an older guy that doesnt have teeth, so his fake teeth kinda move around in his mouth when he talks....so it's kinda hard to understand what he is saying. oh well :) Then I met Sister Glass! I love this lady so much! She is so excited to read the Book of Mormon. it has been a while sense she has been to church, but it is all good she will come back for Sister Pielstick's talk tomorrow!!! We also had dinner with the Galdstone's :) Love them! They love the missionaries and just give us so much food!!!!!!

Sunday: Sister Pielstick gave an amazing talk! The ward is so big here!!!! So many people!!! We had lunch at a members :) they gave us tacos then we taught Marcus. Don't really know what to say about him. He wants to get closer to God, so that is a good thing :) Then we had dinner with a family that fosters puppies :) it sounds so much fun!!! Then we taught the Restoration to Alex. He said he would be baptized if he found out this was Christ's Church! So exciting!

Monday: So yeah...emailing didnt work for me....so now off to this week!

Tuesday: We didn't have a meeting everything really kinda fell apart! everyone cancelled....then we had exchanges!!! I went to Mt. View ward in San Jacinto!! It was so great!!! I love the people there so much!!

Wed: It was so good to see so many people! The work is going so great there! It is amazing how much that area has grown! Awe I love them! Sister Pielstick got to be with Sister Parker and they got handed anti :O haha so funny! People just really need to have an open mind :)

Thursday: Ruth turned 97!!!! We made her cookies.

Friday: Exchanges happened again but I was with Sister Jensen :) They have such a great ward

Saturday:  We had a mission conference and met Elder Christofferson! So cool :)

Sunday: Was great! No one came though....

Monday: We had the best day ever! We worked so hard! We picked up two new investigators! Richard (he is meeting with JW's) He is really searching for truth! and Fritz!!!! He is so cool! He is from Germany and is a pilot!!! I can't wait to meet with them again! We then tried a bunch of people oh yeah and we were on bike for a day :) that was fun!

Tuesday: We had ddm! IT was good. yeah sorry this is so rushed!

Wed: Today we are going to the temple so sorry this is so short....that and I forgot what we did because I am behind in my journal! SOrry!!! I love you all but I have to get going so we can go to the temple!!!

Well here we go :)

Tuesday: We decided last minute to go down to DDM....because it was our last meeting together for the transfer...and  I am glad we did because it was an amazing training! And on our way back up we met with Frank! Brother Boyd came with us and it was so great! He is totally prepared! Then we walked a lot...and then Met with Lynn. She is so great and wants to go to the temple so bad! AWE Such a sweet lady!!!

Wednesday: We walked....a lot! for 2 hrs.! and  only talked to 3 people!! oh our way we found a hole....so Sister Rodriguez stood in it.So crazy but so beautiful!! We then ran and saw Jim. What a guy! and then we met with Bro. O. He says hi. He is working towards going to the temple!!! I can't wait for that day!!! While we were there we were walking around to the porch because we meet with him outside. Just as we walk around the corner we hear the dog go crazy and then.....rattles......yep a rattle snake! We yelled and the dog(his name is buddy) to get back and he finally did! If that dog died then I don't know what Bro. O. would have done...he would have been so sad! But any who we got the dogs back and Bro. O went back into the house grabbed his 16 gage ready for action....now keep in mind this guy is in his late 70's, had a knee replacement(so he struggles walking). We were worried he would fall over when the gun went off! But he is a Vietnam Vet. So I really shouldn't worry haha :) the snake slithered off so he never got to shoot it, but he did had Sister Rodriguez the gun...oops.... Then we had to run to the church for dinner with the Relief Society and learn about cleaning. haha I learned a lot about baking soda! Then we met with our ward mission leader!

Friday: We road bikes to save miles....yeah it was raining....but I didn't die so that is good! It was so hard that after we made it to the church we gave up and road back home.....hehe :) We got Lasagna for dinner! So good! Then we met those non-member friends! They are so cool and so ready for the Gospel!!! I am so upset  :( oh well...they will hear the gospel and be baptized! I know it!!

Good Morning :D


Yeah...sorry this is kinda late..but know that we had a fun day today!

Monday: so last Monday right after we emailed we got a call from our Branch Mission Leaders wife saying, "Hey we met this guy on the side of the road, and he really needs Jesus." So we went and found him. haha...we prayed with him and showed about 20 seconds of the video when he handed me the phone back and said, "I don't need this! I already have Jesus. I don't need more people playing mind games with me!....." and went off about how he everyone is mean to him, and is using him....he ended up walking away....it was hilarious! Then I went home and slept...and then we taught Kyle! Love that kid! He is so great!

Tuesday: We had District Development Meeting and we learned a lot! and on our way back home we met Frank. We showed him the Easter Video..he teared up and said, "Now that video will get ya." He lost his wife suddenly at the age of 28...I can tell when he talks to her that he loves her so much, and misses her. We told him that he would see her again some day. We left a plan of salvation pamphlet and set up another appointment. We also met with Darrell. He is so sweet! Then we saw Brother Owens! He is working on going to the temple! I am so excited for him :D

Wednesday: a lot of things didn't happen...we walked a lot....

Thursday: we continued to walk...at this point we have been talking to people that pull over and ask if we are okay. haha :) hey we must talk with everyone!!! oh and we had corn on the cob for dinner :) yum!!

Friday: nothing really happened....just a lot of walking...we did have Greek food for dinner! That was so good! I have had a lot of Mexican food here...at least it is good!

Saturday: We met with Frank again:D However...his lesson took 2 hrs.....he committed to coming to church :D and I hope he comes! When I asked him what would hold him back from coming to church he said, "she is a persistent....I think there is more to Moore." I thought that was so funny! and the Power went out!! :D haha it was funny :)

Sunday: we went up to Idyllwild. I love that little branch! I think there was only about 15 people this week! They are so great! Then when we were driving around we had Anza's branch president call us and tell us that Frank came to church!! He not only came to church he stayed for the 3 hr time! and he helped set up for a relief society dinner! AWE :D It was so great! We also met with a family up in Idyllwild. They have a son that just turned 8 and wants to get baptized. They are so adorable!

Monday: We went down the hill today and went shopping and met with some other sisters. It was nice to see them....and I bought a new shirt....I need to stop buying cloths..I have too many! any who....

I love you all and hope you have a great week! Hope to hear from you all soon!

Love
Sister Moore
