YOMO (You Only Missionary Once)

What a week! This week has been so crazy!! I will try to tell ya'll everything that happened.

Monday: 4th of July was so fun! after we emailed we made pie with Fritz!!! It was so good!!! We also played Nerf gun wars...so pretty much call of duty with Nerf guns haha it was so much fun!!! then we got to go home plan, and sleep:) it was a good end to the day!

Tuesday: We had our Studies and then we had housing inspections. and we at food....then we got the call to go get our car!!! :D It was a dream come true!!! It took forever to get our car, but it is so nice to have a car again! We got back late because of the lovely California traffic, but we have a car :D We went seeking with faith, and then we had the best dinner ever!!!! It was so good! The family is from Utah and they are so funny! And the Father of the family knows a lot about the gospel....really it boggles my mind how much I need to study!!! Then later that night we went on exchanges and Sister Garlitz came with me to my area!!!

Wednesday: We had so much fun! I love her!! We went Seeking with Faith in the morning and Sister Fabian came with us :D It was so great! Then we had DDM...we were only a few mins late..... #gottatalktoeveryone! then we came home had lunch and then Hermana Fabian's companion came to get her. We talked for a few mins :) It was fun! Then we studied, tried Trey....no answer.....then we got in with Johnny. He is 16 and is really open to learning. However....he is 16 and we have to have parent permission to teach him....and his parents are Jehovah Wittiness....we hope we hear back from him soon!  Then we got DeJongs Chocolate milk!!! THE BEST STUFF EVER!!!!!!!! It was so good :) and then we had a few potentials to try. We got in with Chris. He is really nice and committed to baptism! We met with him again next week :D Then we had dinner and it was so much fun! then we went to exchange back :) it was so great!!!

Thursday: We had a meeting all day in Riverside. We were talking about somethings that we can do better as missionaries. So I pulled up my skirt and commented. It was hard, but I did it. I stood up and said, "I need to be bold in contacting people. And when we talk to people we should be happy, and then be sad if they say no. Tell your face!" everyone laughed after I said, "Tell your face!" and then later President Mullen quoted me :D It was a great time! Then....right before we left we realized.....it was 9 months a go today that I picked her up from the Mission Office :D So tender I know :) that we walked around and talked to a few people. Then we had dinner with a sweet member! She is so great! Then we taught the Jones' It was the best lesson we have ever had! so good!

Friday: We planned...and ate food :) and taught the Petitt family :D they are so great!! We also taught Fritz with Sister Bess! and we had India food with the Hughes family!!! I love them so much!!! I felt bad because we had to leave quick because we had to go on exchanges :D and guess what :D Sister Parker came with me to Wildomar!!!

Saturday: Was really the busiest day ever! I am so glad that Heavenly Father loves His missionaries, because we could not have had a successful day without Him! So in the Morning we had a meeting with our ward mission leader. We had to leave early because we had to meet some members to go on splits! So I went seeking with faith with Danica while Sister Parker went with Sister Mannly and part-member families. It was so amazing! I met a lot of JW's and they were all really nice and didn't bash! It was great! Then we went home and I wanted to make pot stickers for lunch. I cooked them in the microwave so that they would cook faster, and then fry them in the pan to make them crispy....so I put the first one in the pan...and I'm not really sure how this happened.....but it caught on fire!!! and it was an oil fire so I pick up the pan and walk back and forth holding it saying, "what do I do! What do I do." and so then I jet set it down and it goes out. nothing caught on fire thank goodness, but our fire alarm works! It started beeping and saying, "fire....fire...fire..." We had to open the doors and air the place out haha :) and that is not even the end of our adventure!
   After lunch and studies we went and tried a few people. After a few people I looked down and saw that the check engine light was on. So we call Elder Cook (he is in charge cars) and he said to watch it and we can check it out if it gets serious. Then we hurry to See Fritz...we try to go the fast way...but the cops had to turn us to another direction....I don't know why, but hey we went the long way. once we pulled into Fritz's drive way....our car was making a "Cheep Cheep Cheep" noise...oh no....we pop the hood and find oil all over the engine and other parts that I don't know what they are called....so we called elder cook again.....good thing this time Elder Hubbard (he is a serving a Senior couple mission with his wife in our are) was with us and he talked to Elder Cook. So we had to take our car to the shop again! But first we had to share a message with Fritz and then Elder and Sister Hubbard took us to dinner. Dinner then took us to Sister Garlitz who needed a companion, and she drove us to Hemet to switch companions back :) It was a crazy day!!!

Sunday: I had to talk in Church and Fritz got confirmed! it was such a sweet experience! We also had no car so we biked! It was great!

Sorry I ran out of time and I still have to email ya'll back! I love you and hope you had a great week!
Love
Sister Moore
