Sister Amanda Moser: PHFAT testimony!

August 30, 2021

Bonjouer!!

We met with our friend Mary this week and guess what??? We HTBT'd baptism and she was like I have been thinking about it! Ahhh I want Mary to be baptized. She is awesome! She has such a strong faith, and I love getting to hear her insights. I am looking forward to this week because it is White Rock's quarterly missionary fast. I have a really good feeling about this week :)

We went knocking on doors last night (only people who have had previous contact with missionaries. They are called gray dots). We talked to a guy named John. We told him we were just going around getting to know people. He actually came outside and talked to us. We talked about his job and about his family. He clearly stated his beliefs and how he came to believe that. Then he handed us a book that disproves faith. He told us to read it...in a nice way. I looked at the book and then back at him. I smiled and simply told him what I believe. I told him that just like he wanted answers and proof, that I have asked questions and received answers. I then thanked him for showing us his book and wished him a great night. It was a good moment. I have never felt so calm talking to someone. It was definitely scary when the thought came, but by following through I was able to bear simple testimony.

As we walked away, Sister DG just went "Phfat testimony Sister Moser." (The spelling is intentional...it's an inside joke.)

We had a really good lesson with our friend Jasmine!! She was reading the Old Testament, but now she is working her way through the New Testament. She bore a very simple testimony to us the other day. She said that she knew what she was reading in the New Testament, but she didn't know how she knew. Like it was a distant memory. All I could think of was chapter 9 of PMG. These friends that we are serving and teaching are part of God's family. They knew about this plan in heaven...they just need a little boost remembering here on earth.

We had interviews this week. President Weathersby is a spiritual giant. He always knows what to say...especially if you aren't feeling motivated. Our area is struggling right now because everyone is starting to lock up again due to the rise in Covid cases. We asked him what we should do. His response....White Rock is now getting....BIKES!! Yay....?? I don't know how I feel about it yet, but I will keep ya posted.

We had stake conference yesterday. The talks were amazing. We got to hear from President Stokes. He gave a beautiful talk on how we need to get along despite our differences and faults of others. That we do not have the right to judge others. He then talked about this is causing contention. Contention is a tool for division. We are following the wrong boss. President Stokes is also a spiritual giant, and I have loved getting to hear his insight.

We called a couple people including our friend, Tanna. She referred herself to missionaries a while back. We called her and guess what? She answered. We shared a short scripture with her and we got to set up a return appointment. #miracles

Miracles are happening people! We went over a little bit for a lesson and that gave us the opportunity to meet our neighbor Lyle. He is super cool and very open. We have lived getting to know him and his roommate Dakota. Both are THE best neighbors.

Remember God loves you

I love you I love you I love you

This is the way
