Good morning!
I have the best news!! Bruce has chosen to be baptized!! YAYYYYY!!!! This is the best new ever!! We talked specifically on baptism and how we are following Jesus Christ. The spirit was really strong! We ask that you all pray for him that he will continue to progress.
We have been teaching this lady named Jasmine. She knew nothing about...well...anything. She saw the Facebook post where I got chewed out and felt it was a sign from God to learn about the Bible. We have had several lessons with her since, but we have been praying for the right fellowship. And let me tell ya...we definitely found the person. We invited one of my favorite people Brother Carpenter. He was PERFECT!! Jasmine asked about his conversion story, and it was the best thing that could ever happen. We also invited her to church, and she said she would come!
We had zone council this week. It was really good. Since Sister DG and I gave the tech training, we had to stay after for another meeting with leadership. They talked about accountability and how it was discouraging other missionaries. I went home and thought hmmm I was literally discouraged about 2 weeks ago. What did I do? I read from the Book of Mormon and read a conference talk in every personal study. It is amazing what the Lord can tell you. It doesn't matter how old the talk is. It can still be applied to you. If you want to read the talks, I will put them at the end of the email.
I might cry in telling y'all this news, but our housing coordinator is buying us an AC unit!! He came and said our apartment is WAYYYY to hot.
We weeded for a lady, and this one is by far the worst one. The weeds were DEFINITELY taller than me. They grew in between tiles. That meant we had to dig them out, shovel out the weeds, and lay the tiles back down. It was a tiring day.
Also, I write a lot about this elderly couple that is very inactive. They allow the missionaries to come and do service every other week. However, Doris has let us come every week, 3 weeks in a row!!! THAT IS UNHEARD OF!!! We met with bishop last night, who is their ministering brother, and he gave us some good ideas. One of them being inviting them to church because Sister DG and I are singing in a couple of weeks. It makes my heart happy. I have loved getting to know them. Doris doesn't know it yet, but she loves us. We have a bond. I love them, and I will be super sad to leave.
Remember God loves you
I love you I love you I love you
Love Sister Amanda Moser

We painted at Lori's.
I wish I could say I am surprised by the sign,
but I am not.
Sister Brown and I literally walked in and did the Spiderman meme
(the one where they are pointing at each other).
