Sister Olsen!! Funny story...we were in the same
ward at BYUI and she was a friend with one of my roommates but we don't
remember each other...haha!
Happy Monday!
This was a really busy and
amazing week! It rained and LOT and was super humid but we were able to still
work hard and see lots of miracles!
We were able to have some
amazing lessons with our investigators Audrey and Barbra! We met Audrey at the
church to help her with her family history then we met together with both of
them and read from the Book of Mormon! They became instant friends and have
been texting each other motivating them to keep up on their scripture reading!
Investigators fellowshipping other investigators it's the best haha! Audrey has
been doing awesome with her reading though and is already almost done with 2
Nephi!!
We built that house (we mostly just painted it but
same thing)
This week we were also able
to have tradeoffs with our amazing Sister Training Leaders! I got to go to the
YSA for the night with Sister Olsen! We knocked about a million doors and got
to talk to some interesting people and it was super fun! They have 8
missionaries serving in that branch so it's pretty hectic but fun. We woke up
early the next morning and went and played ultimate Frisbee with their district
for exercise then headed out to do some service for Habitat for Humanity! They
build houses and donate them to people in need in the community so it was
really awesome to get to help out with that! We were put in charge of the painting
so that was fun! :)
First time eating at Costa Vida in 10 months and I
wanted to cry I was so happy!!!!
Audrey came to church again
yesterday and we were super excited about that! She stayed all 3 hours and even
shared her testimony about the Holy Ghost in the gospel principles class! All
the lessons were perfect for her and she seemed to have a really great
experience! After church we were able to have a lesson with her where she
really opened up to us about some concerns she has and some different circumstances.
We asked her a lot of questions and tried to help the best we could. We were
able to really focus the lesson of the Atonement of Jesus Christ and our
ability to repent and the spirit was so strong. We bore our testimonies that we
knew Heavenly Father was very aware of her and that he loved her so much. The spirit
was so strong and Audrey started crying. She told us how she just needs it to
be true. I am so thankful for this experience. It truly strengthened my
testimony of the power of the Holy Ghost in conversion. I know Audrey felt it
and it has been so great to see how much she has grown these last few weeks!
Milkshake moments with Sister P!
-Weekly Moss Moment-
During our tradeoff we were out knocking an apartment complex and this one guy answered the door and we started talking with him. We asked if he had ever heard of the Book of Mormon before and he said he had so we tried asking him what he had heard about it. He told us that he wasn't interested and closed the door. About 10min later we were out walking in the parking lot and we passed the same guy. It was kind of awkward so I just waved and kept walking. Sister Olsen (not recognizing him) approached him and said the exact same thing as we had at the door and asked if we could share a message with him about the Book of Mormon. Still not interested he accepted a card and walked away. I told her it w the same guy as we walked away and she didn't realize it at all. It was pretty funny and we got s good laugh out of it haha

P.S. We had dinner with
this family in our ward and their 3yr old little boy kept coming up to us and
saying, "Are you happy??" all night. It was so adorable and we quote
him all the time now. haha
