BUNNIES! RIP to my favorite bunny Judy that I had
before my mission
Companion skirt swap lol! In Florida
every ward party is beach themed. They had a dessert auction and the ward
members kept buying things and then giving it to us and the elders haha! We now
have a ridiculous amount of chocolate cake in our fridge.
Hello everyone!
I hope y'all had an awesome week! We
were super busy here in Arlington! Saturday night we had our transfer call and
we found out Sister B will be headed to Ocala and I'll be training a fresh new
missionary from the MTC (aka having a child) I'm super excited but also pretty
nervous! If anyone has training tips send them my way haha! Wednesday I'll head
to Mandarin for a trainer trainee meeting and I'll find out who my companion is
then. I'm sure she will be amazing!
We still haven't gotten our car back
and probably won't get it back until Wednesday or Thursday so we've been doing
lots of walking and biking which has been nice! The weather has been beautiful
all week, which was a blessing, and we are able to talk to so many people out
on the street. Our ward members are awesome too and have been so willing to
come out with us to lessons and give us rides when we need it. They're the
best.
For Valentine's Day
our recent convert John gave us some chocolate but we were more interested in
stealing his random wooden duck
We were able to do some fun service
this week! We went and volunteered at a place called Celestial Farms. A member
in the Dunn Ave ward owns it and they take in rescue animals and give them the
proper care they need. They also run a daycare there and they teach the kids
how to take care of the animals and how to grow gardens and stuff like that.
It's super cool! We got to see horses, goats, donkeys, pigs, turkeys, and some
adorable bunnies. We helped with some cleanup, which was an adventure haha! The
bunnies were my favorite part. On Saturday we also got to help with a huge food
distribution put on by farmshare (an organization we volunteer for a lot) they
were passing out food and planning on feeding over a thousand families. The
people were all lined up in this big parking lot and they were given a number
and a grocery cart and they made their way down this big line of tables full of
grocery bags of food. They left with carts full of different fruits,
vegetables, bread, and canned food. It was so awesome to see how thankful they
all were and it was so worth it. We worked mostly behind the scenes bagging more
food and restocking the tables but it was such a cool experience!
We had an amazing miracle with one of
our new investigators Vicky! Her granddaughter recently got baptized and it
dating a member. They both live out in California but Vicky talks with them a
lot. She has been having some hard times and has had a lot of questions for her
granddaughter. She's been watching Mormon Messages online and reading
Conference quotes on Facebook and has loved everything she's seen so her
granddaughters boyfriend somehow found our Bishops contact information and told
him he needed to send the missionaries over ASAP because Vicky wants to be
baptized. We got in contact with her last week and set up a lesson for Friday.
She was so amazing. She loved everything we taught and was so excited to read
the Book of Mormon. She said she really wants to be baptized because she feels
like she needs to be. She kept telling us how she knew she was a child of God
and just wants to make him happy. We left the lesson and were in shock at how
prepared she was! We are planning on seeing her twice this upcoming week and
hopefully she will be coming to church as well. We are super excited about it
and it was such a miracle.
It's crazy another 6 weeks has
already flown by. I wish I could just slow down mission time. I love Arlington
and I love being a missionary! I hope we keep seeing miracles as we work hard
and talk with everyone!
I love y'all! Have a blessed week!
<33

-Weekly Moss Moment-
GThis week we were helping the Webers
get ready for a baby shower they were throwing for their daughter. We helped
make all kinds of decorations and we helped Brother Weber make a whale cupcake
cake. It turned out super cute and we were super proud of it! While we were
still in the process he put me in charge of making the buttercream. His recipe
called for 6 sticks of Crisco and 3 bags of powdered sugar. Craziness. So I put
in all the Crisco and some vanilla and started with the powdered sugar. I had
put a whole bag in and started the mixer. It wasn't working for some reason so
I started examining it when all of a sudden it turns on full blast and sends
powdered sugar all over the kitchen. Brother Weber told me not to worry and
that it happens all the time. He said the trick is to add a little water to the
bowl so it doesn't go everywhere. He added some water, turned the mixer on, and
the same thing happened to him hahaha the kitchen was a mess but it was funny
