Hello Friends and Family!
Preparation day got moved to Tuesday for us because today is our District Temple trip! So sorry about the late email.
Sorry that this email is later than normal. I went through the temple today and didn't get to WiFi until now. I love the temple. It's the best!
This week has been a whirlwind. So much stuff has happened...
I went on exchanges with my MTC companion. That was interesting. We met some quirky people. One guy talked in riddles and was being vague and mysterious. As soon as people see that religious name-tag, they feel it's necessary to explain their beliefs on life...as odd as they are. At the same time, some people still think we can't drink caffeine...I had someone the other day ask me how long our 'pilgrimage' lasts. Some people on the other hand don't realize how big the church actually is. The other day a lady yelled at us and told us to 'tell our pastor to never come back' into this area. I wondered who that would be for us? The district Leader? The zone leader? The Assistants? The Mission President? The local Bishop? The Stake President? The Primary president? I wouldn't know.
My companion got his bike stolen. That was a bummer because now we're walking and it takes longer to get to appointments. We were in an Albertsons getting our dinner and then when we walked out his bike was gone! My bike lock key went missing that day (I've found it since then) but he thought we'd be okay without locking our bikes. And then his was gone when we left! My bike was there. Luckily some members gave us a ride in their truck to our next destination.
Oh! I wrecked my bike a few days before that! It was awesome! We went down this curb and for whatever reason this time my bike ended up flipping forward on its back. I felt really cool, because in front of all of these people, I jumped forward over the handle bars and landed on my feet, laughing hysterically. I had to buy a replacement piece for it...but it's fixed now!
I had the opportunity to watch the face to face with Elder Oaks and Elder Ballard. That was cool! The President requested that we all watch it as missionaries (it was mainly for the ysa people, which we are technically....)
Uhhh that's about it. It's been pretty cool. The work is moving, that's all I can say. Some people are moving forward, others are not. Thus is life!
My birthday plans are thusly: proselyte, eat turkey, keep proselyting.
I remember a year ago, all I did was play video games the night before and then did birthday stuff...this year I will proselyte and then proselyte. Oh how the days go by...
Here's a neat scripture
Ether 2
21 And it came to pass that the brother of Jared did so, according as the Lord had commanded.
The Brother of Jared didn't question, didn't argue, didn't complain, he just did it.
That's admirable! I wish I could be better! I'd rather not have my personal story end up being "And it came to pass that Elder Moore complained and kicked against the pricks, and then did so, according as the Lord had commanded"
I know that doing as the Lord Commands brings blessings and joy, and that God does not give a commandment save that he provides a way for it to be fulfilled.
I Love you all!
-Elder Moore
