It's Sister Lee's Birthday soon and the AP's are making her a book with pictures of all the companionships saying "Happy Birthday"
Hello everyone!
This week was
transfers and I made it to my new area in the Gainesville 2nd ward!!
Cute signs on people's doorstep
A few fun facts about Gainesville
-Our area is a mix of country and super super nice houses. It was a little bit of culture shock since I've been in the ghetto my whole mission but I'm adjusting and learning to love it
-It's a bazillion degrees hotter here than Jacksonville because no sea breeze (RIP)
-We are in a car share which means we are biking or walking most of the week which is fun but exhausting
-The ward is SO amazing! Everyone is so supportive and they are always willing to come to lessons and feed us yummy food
-There's two families in our ward from Farmington!! Which is crazy! It’s the first time I've met anyone on my mission that's from NM

We rescued a baby turtle this week..I wanted to take it home with me
We worked really hard this week and
we were able to find 4 new investigators, which was exciting! One man was named
DanBo and he let us right in and told us all about his LDS friends he had
growing up. He said they were always so friendly and happy and he always wanted
that. We were able to share a scripture with him from the Book of Mormon and
share our testimony of how the gospel has blessed our lives. He was really
interested in our message and we are going back to see him this week! It was an
awesome miracle!
Right now we are working with the
sweetest girl ever named Barbra. She is 16 and is getting ready to be baptized
in about a month. We had a lesson with her Wednesday night and she has SO MUCH
faith. She opened up to us about school and family struggles and basically bore
her testimony to us of how much the gospel has blessed her. She came to church
on Sunday and stayed all 3 hours. She is so amazing and so cute and I just love
her so much! After her lesson on Wednesday we got to go with her to mutual and they
had a nerf gun war. It was intense and super fun haha! Not something I planned
on doing on my mission but we had an investigator with us so it worked out
haha! Our ward always has fun things planned so I'm excited for that!
We got caught in major rainstorm but it was worth it bc rainbows
I'm a Super excited for this transfer
in Gainesville!! I know we are going to see a ton of miracles!! :)
I love y'all! Have a blessed week

-Weekly Moss Moment-
Saturday we were planning on going to the church to do a service project for one of the members. We didn't have the car so we were biking. It's about 6 miles there but I figured we would be inside for the service project and would get a break from the sun so I didn't put on any sunscreen before we left (bad idea I know! I forgot!!) We ended up being outside the whole time then we ate lunch outside and then we had to bike home. So after about 4 1/2 hrs out in the sun I was dying. It was SO hot outside and I got super burnt. I have an awesome farmers tan on my arms from my service shirt and my watch tan line is getting real good. Summer is here for sure!! I'm buying extra sunscreen this week haha
