Green River, WY & Finally! Pics from the MTC

   Well all my wildest dreams have come true. I got called to serve in

WYOMING. It's awesome here!  My companion is

Elder Berry. This is his last transfer ): and it's my first! Kind of

funny right! When people ask us how long we have been out I say less

than a year and he says more than a year. We are here in Green

River! Its about the size of Owasso but a lot older and a bit smaller.

It's cool though because there are a lot of trucks and a few rednecks

so it's kind of like home!

   On our 2 1/2 hour drive out here we stopped at a gas station and

the lady there was like "hey elders!" And it took me a second to

realize that she was talking to me and then it hit me "oh my gosh I am

finally a missionary this is real..." I am so honored and humbled to

be a representative of Jesus Christ.  To wear his name on my chest is

a big responsibility but I wouldn't trade these two years for

anything. I have only been here a week but it feels like I have been a

missionary forever.

   Me and Elder Berry are both new to the area and it has been a

little slow but we are already teaching four people and three of them

want to be baptized. The amazing part is that all three are

kids who have friends that are members and have been invited to church

and activities and stuff with them! The youth here are amazing and

they love to share the gospel by doing one really simple thing...

INVITING!!!!!! It is so easy!

  We are working with a lot of less actives too and it's amazing

helping them build up their relationship with Jesus Christ. I am

learning to love people more openly and more easily.  I am not going

to lie and say that my mission so far hasn't been hard but it's

missionary WORK. It drains you physically spiritually and emotionally

but I know that with help from my savior Jesus Christ and his infinite

Atonement I can do anything he asks me to do!

Love,

Elder Moe
