Bonjouer!
Where to begin! Welcome to the exciting life of Sister Moser.
We had a lesson with our friend Jasmine. She is actually the coolest. I have loved getting to know her. It's crazy that this all happened because of the hate I got on a Facebook post. Jasmine has been enjoying the Bible for the most part. She has a lot of questions. Most of what we talk about is about Jesus Christ and His Atonement. It's a great way to bear my testimony. She was telling us about some of the things she has heard about "Mormons". Apparently, we are a cult that isn't allowed to eat chocolate or sugar, and we harvest people's organs. Wild. Never heard that one before.
We met with Bruce this week with our friend Anna. Anna has submitted her papers, so she is coming with us on visits to get familiar with missionary work. Bruce has this desire to be baptized, but getting him to church is a struggle. We had 1 lesson on Wednesday. We were going to give him a church tour with fellowship. Then he canceled. He let us come to his house instead. Then we had a lesson planned for Saturday night to do the church tour (because he asked for it on Wednesday night). Guess what? He canceled. Again. It's ok though. We have been praying for him.
We did some weeding this week (naturally). As we were weeding, this guy came up and talked to the member we were weeding for. I was like, man, I need to to talk to this guy. I just had that feeling. Because Heavenly Father provides a way, we had a way of talking to him. We gave him a cup of watermelon and a passalong card with our number. It was a cool experience!
We have had some amazing experiences with the Facebook page. We gave a training on messaging boldly. Sister DeGroot and I have been focusing on that a lot this week. You have to live what you teach, right?? We were teaching about responding to comments and messages, and we did just that. We set up 4 calls with people!! All because we messaged boldly with our purpose. Only 2 of them answered, but they were really good lessons!! We had a return appointment with one of them, but they didn't answer. So we went on a walk. We met a guy named Jerry who is a "people person." We told him what we do, and he gave us his number!! CRAZY!!
We met with 2 of our neighbors this week. Both of them were super open!! Kathy opened the door and said tell me about your church. I was like oh ok! I can do that. She also told us to send her the link to our church services. We informed her that we are singing next week and she is interested in attending in person!! Our other neighbor, Marie, welcomed us immediately! Say what? We had a good discussion with her about how God directs us.
Other miracles have been happening, too! Fun fact: New Mexicans are terrible drivers. Stop signs are usually ignored and blinkers are never used. We have had several close calls this week. Not only did a guy blow a stop sign in a major intersection, but we have almost had 4 people blow the same stop sign this week as we were passing. It was really scary. Just goes to show that God is aware and watching over us.
Also Marie gave me her violin so keep your eyes out for a musical number....? I don't know. Mom your wish might come true.
I am singing in church next Sunday at 10 am. Let me know if you want the link!
Remember God loves you
I love you I love you I love you
This is the way
Love Sister Amanda Moser
