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

HAPPY 4th of July!!! :D The fireworks are really for Fritz :)

What is this another week has come and gone....I feel like I can't remember anything right now :/ but today is a weird day. We can't go out and work all day....yeah it will be nice....but weird......we have our p-day in the morning and then we can't go out at night because of all the crazy drunk people! ugh...so everyone else cleaned their apartment while we went to Riverside this morning to have breakfast with Sister Roberts :) one of my companions. I love her so much!!!! She is flying home today and I can't wait to see her and talk to her soon!!! <3

Tuesday: We had a very interesting day...We walking around in the morning because it gets way to hot later in the day and no one is outside to talk to in the afternoon because of the heat....so we went walking....and then we had ddm....and then we had a road trip to Riverside :) We got to drop off our car because Sister Pielstick decided to gently caress a pole :) so it had to get fixed. haha so we didn't have a car all week! I am so grateful that we have amazing members that are so willing to help us with the work! We have seen so many miracles!! awe :) So after Riverside we had our studies and then went to dinner :) then we tried a few people and we taught Fritz. <3 he is so prepared! we talked about the ten commandments. :) and about his baptism stuff :) because yeah that happened this week!! (I will talk about it later ;)

Wednesday: I am so grateful for Members that can help us out :) awe really it would have been impossible without them. Sister Mcknight dropped us off and we were laughing so hard at dumb jokes that she started to cry. It was so great! When she came to pick us up we told her something funny that happened while we were walking.... So Sister Pielstick and I when ever we go walking we always find washers on the side of the road. We found one today and we took a picture with it :) after I got my picture Sister Pielstick was posing for the picture. Right as she got into position the owner came out. HAHAAHAH it was so funny we started to walk away, but then Sister Pielstick started talking to him about how we had to take a picture with the washer. The guy laughed. We talked about how important it is to be there and help others in the community (don't remember how we got on that topic but yeah know) and he said, "yeah I left my washer out there for someone who needs it, or for someone to take a picture with." It was so funny!!! I almost died!!!!
    We picked up a new investigator named Hycient. He is from Nigeria and has only lived in the US for 8 months! Crazy!!! Sometimes it is hard for me to understand him....I have to really focus, listen, and the Lord takes care of the rest. He is so cool! Then we met up with our new Senior couple missionaries! They are working with all of the Less actives in Lake Elsinore stake, but first they are working with us. They came over so that we could help them understand records, and how to keep them, and how to do all of those things :) It was so great! I love them so much! They are on their mission for 24 months! So they will stay here for a while, and they can come out with us too :D I am so excited!!!

Thursday: the best thing happened.....so last Sunday we passed around a sign up sheet so that the members in the ward could help us out because we don't have a car. two people signed up....(don't worry we had so many people help us last week it was so amazing....we just had to call them :) one person that signed up was Sister Gallegos. The lady was someone that we didn't know.....so we called her and we thought she moved in to the war. Come to find out She is visiting her cousin from Utah and she felt bad we didn't have a car!!! So she took an hour out of her vacation to come and help us. New goal in life: help the Missionaries when I am on vacation. We got in with our Investigator Marcus. He really wants to change, so we set some goals so that he can change. I can't wait to meet with him next week to see how he is doing. after that we had studies and lunch....then planning....then dinner at home because dinner canceled.....but its all good :) we had Sister Hughs come out with us! I love her! She just had a baby a few months ago and she is so funny! She came with us to teach Fritz :) He made us pizza, and then he made me sit in his chair...it was a massage chair...it was weird....but nice....but really weird....haha and then we tried a few people. We ended up talking for a long time and we were late to meet with the other Sister for exchanges :/ oops....

Friday: I spent the day with Sister Rodriguez in her new area!!!! It was so much fun!!! I loved being with her again, but it was weird not being in Anza :/ We did service in the morning...still painting baseballs....and I found paint in my hair this morning..... ooops :) then we tried a few people, got stuck in traffic...so our day got delayed...and we studied....tried people....then we had dinner with a sweet lady that is a recent convert! She is so great! and then we tried more people....and walked....and then oh one funny experience: I had to back Sister Rod because she didn't make the U-turn all the way. and there were people outside working on their yard! They were nice, but didn't want us to come back....one day their time will come :)

Saturday: We had a blitz (that is where all of the missionaries in the Stake came together and walked in one ward) and all together the elders had over 15 people they could come back! before we all started the blitz the elders said their goal was 9-12 new people. The power of setting goals, working hard to achieve them, and having faith is real! Take it to the Lord and Together you can make it happen. Then we went home...studied...then we went to a ward baptism and Fritz came. He loves baptisms. He was so excited for his own. after that we had dinner with the family and then we walked all night :) and kinda got stuck a little in the dark...but Sister Mcknight saved us and took us home :) it was good :) She is so funny!

Sunday: Was the day :D They day Fritz got baptized! He was so excited and awe :) He shared his testimony with us after he was baptized and he started to cry! It was so beautiful! The Relief Society room was full!!! it was so amazing!!! awe :) Then after the baptism we went to dinner with Fritz and Bishop's family. As we were walking up to the door I asked Fritz, "How do you feel?" and he said, "with my fingers."  haha it was so funny!! Then we ended up not eating dinner and going to a few people with Sister Osuna. She is so great! We met someone that speaks Spanish and she totally translated for us and invited the guy to watch the video! It was so cool! We had a really great week! I can't even handle how much the Lord loves us.....this week I have learned that Heavenly Father loves us all so much. He is so mindful of us and our trials in life, and He know exactly what we need. We were walking around late last night and we were taking a picture of Sister Pielstick next to a hippy sign :) and we met the owner of the house. Her boyfriend just passed away....they were engaged for a long time....it was really sad....but she said we could come back! We share the video with her about how we will see our family members again!

I love the gospel!! SO much!!! I have seen it bless so many peoples lives!!!

I love you all so much and I hope you have the best week ever!

Love
Sister Moore

"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!!!

Sister Moore

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 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!
