Sister Heiner <33
This week was an interesting one. We had a few exchanges and some meetings and lots of kooky people.
We had an exchange with the Brunswick sisters and I got to be reunited with my favorite human, Sister Heiner. We worked in Brunswick and biked a ton and got frozen yogurt and caught up. It was so fun! I also had an exchange with Sister Stepherson and we got to stay and work in Folkston for the day. It was one of the craziest trade offs I've ever been on. SO WEIRD!
Sister Stepherson:))
So we were out trying some Less Actives in Folkston and we parked and walked looking for the right house. We found the one we were looking for and we walked up and there was a group of little girls outside. They immediately came up and started hugging us and hanging on us. We figured they were the LAs daughters or something since they seemed to know us. We started talking to them trying to figure out who they were but we couldn't understand a single word they were saying their southern accents were so strong. They started pulling on my bag and trying to get inside and take my hand sanitizer. We were feeling a little ambushed so we told them we had to go. The littlest one came up and tried to give me another hug but instead of hugging me she grabbed the bottom of my skirt and lifted it up above her head. I quickly grabbed it from her and pulled it back down. They thought this was the funniest thing ever so then they went over to Sister Stepherson and did the same thing. They kept lifting up our skirts so we tried to leave. We got maybe 20ft from the house when we heard them yelling at us. We turned around and they were running after us. They came up from behind and started lifting up our skirts again! We didn't know what to do since we were totally out numbered. We would hold our skirts down in the front and one of the other girls would lift it up from behind. It was total chaos and our car was still a ways away. We finally got away from them and ran all the way back to our car. It was insane haha
Bowling with the District last Monday
We were trying formers one day and we were able to meet with a lady named Lisa. We took some time to get to know her and ask her questions and she opened up about some struggles she is having. She also told us about some misconceptions she had about the church. We were able to teach to her needs and help her feel the spirit. We read with her from the Boom of Mormon and she told us that is was exactly what she needed. We left her with a copy and she was excited to read it. If we had gone in with a set plan and just taught at her instead of listening to her concerns and going from there the lesson would have turned out very differently. Once people know we care about them they are better prepared to receive our message!!
HAPPY BDAY SIS HOFFMAN!!!
We also had a relief society activity this week all a out keeping Christ in Christmas and it was really good! Sister Hoffman and I sang for everyone and then we did different activities and ate dinner! It was really awesome and got me SUPER excited for Christmas! It's crazy it's already almost December.

Weekly Moss Moment-
Thursday Sister Hoffman and I got back from an exchange and went out to do some finding before the Relief Society activity. We were looking for some less active sisters so that we could invite them to the activity. We knocked on one door and the lady didn't live there anymore but we were able to talk with the new resident a bit and we asked if we could give her a card. I started looking through my bag trying to find a card and realized I had taken them out before the exchange and they were still in the car. Sister Hoffman didn't have any either so I awkwardly ran back to the car while she stood on the porch talking to this lady. We finally gave her a card and then left. DANG MOSS! Always keep pass along cards in your purse y'all haha
