Dear Family!
To really tell you what happens in a week would probably
take another week, and I don't have that kinda time out here. Lately, I have
been focusing on obedience, faith, and effectiveness. I've been working to do
the little things perfect, and to try to remember the things I knew at the
begging of my mission. If I have faith, am diligent and obedient, the Lord will
provide a way and open doors I haven't even thought about trying.
Being with Elder McKee is awesome. He is a farmer from
Vanderhoof British Columbia. He loves basketball and he has told be about what
happens at -50 degrees Fahrenheit. Apparently, when it is that cold you have to
heat your home less because the air is so cold at that temperature that it
doesn't move and creates a heat dome over your house. We have had a lot of fun
together. When we were at the transfer meeting, I knew we were going to be
companions for some reason. On July 1st we celebrated Canada day and he made
some maple syrup and pancakes.
Our first lesson together was with a new investigator, Chase
Lee. She is super cool and made it to church this week. She lives like 3 doors
down from Alias. Our ward mission leader, Brother Neal, picked them up and they
came together. Neither one of them really have strong male role models in their
lives, so Brother Neal is like their grandpa. He is super cool! He served his
mission in New Zealand and you can tell it really changed him because it’s been
a few years and he still has the missionary spirit. He goes out on splits or
just with the ward missionaries and knocks doors in the apartments. That's how
we found almost everyone we are teaching. It’s from their faith and hard work.
Raquel is super cool!! She has been coming to church a lot
and has been learning a ton. The missionaries first went over there because her
daughter wanted to start getting back into coming. We have read the Book of
Mormon with them, watched the testaments and have had some fun times teaching.
She is thinking about getting baptized and she wants to do it in the mountains!
Its gonna be sweet!! The date we invited her, it turns out we will have
sacrament meeting outside, so she will be confirmed and receive the Holy Ghost.
We told her that and were like, God wants this to be amazing for you, it’s
meant to be!
Singing the Star Spangled Banner in sacrament meeting is the
best! Today there is a ward member that does "the Cul-de-sac of Fire” that
we are going to go to. Then, the fourth, Elias and Cindy invited us to watch
them light fireworks. Don't worry we wont be lighting them. We will also be
going to a lot of ward breakfasts. It’ll be the best!
GOD BLESS AMERICA
11 And this land shall be a land of liberty unto the
Gentiles, and there shall be no kings upon the land, who shall raise up unto
the Gentiles.
12 And I will fortify this land against all other nations.
13 And he that fighteth against Zion shall perish, saith
God.
14 For he that raiseth up a king against me shall perish,
for I, the Lord, the king of heaven, will be their king, and I will be a light
unto them forever, that hear my words.
Love,
Elder Moe
