"I didn't bring my towel this week." -Fritz

This last week went by so slow...but yet here we are at Monday again haha :) We had quite the adventure this week :) I hope I can remember everything that Happened!!!

Monday: We got to play games with the Bess family!!! I love playing games so much!!! awe it was fun :)
Tuesday: We had DDM and it was good....don't really have too much to say.....and then we went home and lunch then went out to work! Later we went to see Fritz and we taught him about the Word of Wisdom. He said that he will live it after he gets baptized. We invited him to live the Word of Wisdom now so that he could get blessings and he said, "You will have to follow up with me." So we had to follow up on Thursday :) We had dinner with the Petitt family! They are so awesome! It was really good food :) Burgers on the Grill. Then we tried a few people, but didn't have much luck....

Weds: We met with a lady named Lorana. She is really sweet and just lost her mother about a year ago. She is now taking care of her father. She seems really nice :) and then we taught Bob. Bob is really sweet and loves to talk....we invited him to be baptized. He said YES! But then we tried to put him on date and he said, "I want to get baptized in a Christian Church." We are a Christian Church! haha We go back tonight so we get to read with him and see if he has gotten an answer. We had dinner with the Dephelepo family. ( I might be spelling that wrong) She is so sweet!!! and then we went seeking with faith (walking and talking to people).

Thursday: We had a meeting in Riverside...found out that we will be loosing our car for a couple of days..... :/ it needs to get fixed....it's all good! we had dinner with a cute young couple and they invited Fritz to come!!!! We talked about Tithing and he was like yeah I will totally pay tithing!!! He is so prepared!!! We forgot to follow up on coffee so we did that Friday. Later Thursday night we taught the Jones family. They are very interested in deep Doctrine questions...which really doesn't help them build their testimonies...I hope that some day they will be willing to open their hearts and ask Heavenly Father if it is true!!! UGH!!! They are the best people though....I love them so much!!!

Friday: Was the day I have been dreading my whole mission....I had my exit interview......Before my Mission President walked in the door I was crying...uhh.....I really don't want to leave!!! After the interview I was talking with Sister Pielstick and I just felt a huge weight had been lifted.....for the first time ever I finally feel okay with coming home....I still don't want to, but I feel okay about it now.... any who we had a team up later that day. Eden is 16 and she is so adorable!! We talked with her mom on Sunday and she said, "My daughter now has the desire to serve a mission. Thank you so much for asking her to come out with us!" Anyone who is thinking about serving a mission go out with the missionaries!! It will change your life!!!!! then we taught Fritz the Law of Chastity. and we followed up about coffee :) He threw away his coffee maker!!!! :D and he doesn't have a girlfriend so that's good :) We went over the the Petitt's house to teach them one last time before their son Bryce gets baptized!!! They are such a cute family!!!

Saturday: Fritz got interviewed and he is found worthy for baptism!!!! :D July 3rd!!! This coming Sunday!!!! I can't wait!!! We also taught Trey.....he just doesn't want to give up something that makes him happy.....but the gospel will make you happier!!! Any who so we had to play that day and then we ate dinner with a part-member family. They were really sweet!!!

Sunday: Church was the best!!! During Sacrament Meeting I was reading D&C 20:37 and Fritz leaned over and gestured that he want to read what I was reading. After He read it he nodded and smiled :) and then in Sunday School he was sitting next to a guy that said, "Have the missionaries taught you about Joseph Smith. [yes we have...we have been teaching him for a month or so now.]" Then later the guy said, "We could fill up the font and baptize you today." Fritz said, "I didn't bring my towel this week." haha and that is when the guy found out that he was getting baptized next week haha it was so sweet! Also in class he was just sharing his thoughts and they were so powerful! The bishop taught the class and he said, "don't worry Fritz you will be a teacher one day." And then Elder Thacker [we share the ward] wrote me a note that said, "Did you find him while Seeking with faith [walking and talking]?" and I nodded yes and I started to tear up! Fritz is so amazing!!! I can't wait to see him make a covenant with Heavenly Father!!!

Monday: Today we went to the beach :) by Lake Elsinore! We couldn't go in the water, but the sand felt so nice :)  awe it was so awesome!!!

Well I hope you have the best week ever!!! I love you all!!!

We still Piel Moore Sticks!

YEP!!! My last companion is Sister Pielstick!!! that will be 210 days together!!! and I love it!!! I can't believe that my mission is coming to an end....but I know that we still have a lot of work to do, and very little time to do it! SO Let us get lost in the work!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KYLE!!!!

Monday: we went and saw a less active member and she has baby kittens!!!! They were so cute!!! I am so upset I didn't take pictures...but that's okay. Then we had dinner and taught BOB. He is an interesting guy. We teach him again tonight so that will be fun!!!

Tuesday: We went walking in the morning and talked to quite a few people! We tried a potential and then went off for District Development Meeting. We then had lunch and studies. And we tried a few people, but no luck....but we ended on a good note and we taught Fritz!!!! We got through the whole Plan of Salvation and he is so awesome!!! He should be getting baptized on July 3rd!!! I am so excited!!!!

Wednesday: We had studies and stuff and tried some people before lunch....then after lunch we went to the Farm! We met with Sister Glass....she told us she doesn't want us to come by and teach her any more because her daughter doesn't want her to....dumb....I cried when I left....I love her so much!!! So we walked all over on the Farm and we got lost...so we had to call a member and ask them to pick  us up and take us to our car :) we waked for 3 hrs. and 45 mins!!! We talked to 31 people so that is good, but it was hot. We found a secret path and so we ran through it so we could save time. No one was watching so that was good and we didn't see any snakes :) all is well!!!

Thursday: Planning...seeking with faith...and then we went on splits!!! I went with Sister Gallegos!!! She has a son on a mission in St. George!!!! I love her so much! We had dinner with the Stevens and then we taught Fritz :) He gave us water and we followed up on the Plan of Salvation. We also gave him a German Book of Mormon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE loves it!!!!

Friday: We got to do some service :) We painted cement footballs, soccer balls, baseballs, and basketballs. It was fun! We had to run to a members home and change because we had to teach a lesson. They gave us Root-Beer Floats from the tap :) some members bought a house that had a beer tap in the back yard and so they bought Root-Beer to put in it haha It was so good!!!! Then we had our studies.....and during our studies we got the phone call that I have been waiting for....a woman called and said, "I am interested in learning about your church. I want to come to church, and I want to meet with you." She continued to talk to us about how she lost her husband and she heard that we talk a lot about life after death and that we take care of our members. Her name is Brook, and she is Persian and is so sweet! She came to a dinner with our ward that same night!!! But any way after studies off to Fritz!! We taught him at Bro. Ames home and it went so well! He is so ready to be baptized!!! Later at the Senior Saints Dinner Fritz came and so did Brook. Awe it was so good to meet her!!! We were going to meet with her on Saturday.

Saturday: We got a call from Brook saying, "I have been praying about it and I don't feel comfortable meeting with you." :( I was so upset....cool story.....sad ending....but her time will come! We had a blitz in our area and then we had a team up Sister Soon! I love her! She was so nice and great with Trey! Trey is a "cool Soccer guy!!" He thinks that everyone is good so whatever man.....yeah...so then we had lunch and walked and then Dinner. Then Sister Depheleepo came out with us! I lover her so much!!! Our lesson kinda didn't happen, so we got Shakes before we got transfer calls :) when we found out we were staying together it was so great!!!!! I was so happy!!! In all honesty I think Sister Pielstick is the only one that can handle me any way....we will have spent all most half of our missions together!!! I love it!!!

Sunday: Hottest day of my life!!! our car said 120!!!!!!! I wanted to die.....but church was good Fritz stayed the whole three hours and loved it!!! He got a little goody bag from the ward and he loved it!!! We then tried a bunch of people....HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!! we also walked outside....and met some really nice people! and yeah.... :) it was just really hot!!! haha we were excited when someone gave us water!!! it was so amazing!!!

Well I love you all and I hope that you have the best week ever!!!!

We really had the best day ever! We talked to so many people and we had so many lessons!

Tuesday: So we had a lesson with Fritz at Brother Ames home...it was before we had Zone Development Meeting, so it was kinda rushed! It was great though! We need to get Fritz a German Book of Mormon, any who then we had to give a training that was fun...it wasnt as bad as the first one, so I guess I am getting better! At the End of the meeting I made the Mistake of looking at Sister Cozzens......she was crying...so I started to cry...we were singing God Be with you till we meet again......ugh I just can't look at her!!! Any who!! We had our dinner cancel so we went out and ate Sushi :D I love Sushi!!!!!!

Wednesday: We really had the best day ever!!! We went and taught a kid that just graduated. He almost died in a car accident from Drinking and Driving.....He said the closing prayer, and it was so powerful!!! then we taught one of my favorite people in the Wildomar ward :) Sister Glass! She went to the doc, and everything is fine and so now she should be able to come to church!!!! after that we went Seeking with Faith and met Crystal. She is Baptist, but loves learning about other religions! then we had dinner with Sister Gallegos! She bought us all our own back of fire hot Cheetos with lime :) they were good! That day we had to say good bye to our mini missionary.....she is going river rafting on thursday so she couldnt stay the whole week! But I love her and I can't wait to see her again soon!

Thursday: Planning day! It is so weir that this transfer is almost over! one more week to go until....never mind....we went seeking with faith and Sister Pielstick said, "we have to go see Sister Kun-Marryfield." So we did! and it turns out that she was praying for us to coming over so we could help her! awe it was so sweet! We ate with Fritz for dinner, and it was really good :) he is so sweet! He loves to talk, and he has a lot of interesting things to say. haha :) after dinner we went and taught the Jones family...Their daughter is on a mission....but they arent members!!! awe!!!! They asked good questions, and I can't wait to hear back from them next week!!!

Friday: Early morning appointments are best! we taught a family in our ward because their son is going to be 8 soon and they want him to have the lessons :) and then we taught a less active! I really want to help her get to the temple!!!!!!!!! any who. Then we had lunch, and saw Marcus. We havent taught him in a couple weeks, but when we stopped by he said something like he had a really bad week and he knows that Christ can help and that he really wanted us to come over to help him! It was so cool! Then we had dinner with the Parkers :) she is so sweet! I lover her!

Saturday: The elders in our ward had a baptism and Fritz came! he got all emotional and after the Service he started telling people that they would have to let some water out so that the church doesnt flood when he gets baptized on the 3rd!!!!! I almost cried!!!!!!! I love Fritz!!!! After that we taught Trey!!! He is in his 20s plays soccer and I can't wait to go back and teach him again!!!

Sunday: So we really didnt get a lot done...... :/ we tried to find people, but no one was out!!! and dinner took a little long....I know Repentance is real!!! :/

Piel Moore Sticks, Cozz!

I really can't believe that this week is over! Time goes by way too fast! I am so tired because we went on a hike today :) it was fun! No worries pictures will follow :) A lot has happened!!! and I hope that I can remember everything!!!

Monday: Something hilarious happened We went and tried a potential investigator named Brandon. He said, "sometimes you just need a Jesus Red Bull!" haha so we were his Jesus Red Bull :) so funny!

Tuesday: We had a lot of things planned to do :) We also had a District Development Meeting :) I learned a lot about the Sabbath and how to keep in holy. I learned that on Sunday it is important to take a break from worldly things. We still should be going out and doing everything we can to help the Lord's kingdom grow! The work was really slow....and really frustrating....we had a few investigators not want to meet with us anymore...and no one let us in....I loved dinner though! The Gallego's family is amazing!!! I love them so much!!!

Wednesday: We got a call while we were weekly planning telling us that we will have Sister Cozzens be with us in a trio :) We covered to two ward and we were so busy! any who with Wednesday :) we finished planning and then tried a few people, and had a cool experience :) We were walking and asked this lady to watch the video, she was too busy at the time, but told us to go try a few of her neighbors. We knocked on Mike's door and he let us in! He was so nice! His best friend is a member in the church and went on a mission to Australia! He said that he supported his friend, but he wasn't interested in changing religions. He told us we could come by if we needed anything! Such a nice family :D we had dinner with the Gallego's family again :) They have a son on a mission in St. George! They are so great! While we were at dinner we got the call to go pick up Sister Cozzens :) I love her so much!  Her and I started our missions together!

Thursday: Well I had my First MLC (Missionary Leadership Council) We went to Riverside and we were there all day! We ate good pizza and I got totally motivated!!! We had dinner with the Jones family. Their daughter is on a mission and....she is the only member in her family! She is serving in France! So we asked if we could teach the family about what their daughter is teaching! But it will be in English! So amazing!! Can't wait to meet with them again!! We then went and had exchanges :)

Friday: I was with Sister Roberts and Sister Cozzens! We all came in together and we didn't get trunky! We talked about home and so now we are going to have a temple trip together sometime in the first week of Aug! We worked so hard! It was our first day covering two areas....it was hard to bounce back and forth! But we got the work done and picked up a lot of new investigators! We had dinner with President and Sister Crippen. They live in our ward and President Crippen is in the Mission Presidency. It was really cool, to get to know them!

Saturday: We went on exchanges again and I was with Sister Petersen! I used to live with her when I was serving in Hemet! I love her! We went walking and met some interesting people! I was so grateful that Sister Cozzens was there with me for exchanges! I was so nervous, but she helped me build my confidence :) I lover her!!!  We went and picked up a family in her area and we had a member with us. He is in his 20's and planning on serving a mission! He then followed us to our next appointment and met Sister Glass :) she is less active and man she thought he was so cute! it was hilarious! Sister Glass is in her 80's and they were bantering back and forth! It was so funny! She found out that he drove his motorcycle and so she had to come and see it! She was as excited as a kid in a candy store! It was so funny!

Sunday: We had about 5 hours of church because we had to go to both wards....good thing we were in the same building! We went and tried a potential Amber. We knocked on the door and her littler brother let us in. While we were waited she yelled at him and said, "I can't meet with them now!" So we just walked out haha :) it was really funny :)

Monday: We went on a hike! So much fun! Oh and I changed our tire because we ran over a piece of metal :) our vehicle coordinator told us to call elders...I was only a little offended.....but I got it done and now Sister Pielstick and Sister Cozzens know how to change a tire :) haha
Over all a good week :)

I hope you all had a great week! Sorry if my emails are getting shorter...or longer.....haha :) I tried to tell ya'll good stuff, but sometimes (90%) I forget things.... :)
But I love you and hope you know that this next week will be the best week ever!!!

Love,
Sister Moore :D
