Sister Amanda Moser: No more green chile

March 21, 2022

Hello and welcome back to my channel.

But actually hello, and welcome to my weekly, where I try to sum up all the adventures that we experience in a week. Let me tell ya...it has been one heck of a week. I'm exhausted.

Well quick recap, I am now an STL in El Paso. I had to say goodbye to my adorable comp Sister Baxter (I love you, queen!!) And Hermana Wells went home. Tears were shed.

But we hit the ground running as soon as I got to El Paso!!

My new comps are Sister Gleason and Sister Crane. Fun fact: all 3 of us are from Idaho! Crazy!! Sister Gleason is from Preston and Sister Crane is from Rexburg. Basically, we are a party.

We are over 2 wards. Kind of crazy for me since I have the SIM after 9 months of not having the SIM. Still trying to get the hang of having it again. AND trying to memorize everyone's names in 2 wards. That means we also have to attend 2 ward's sacrament meetings. That was a little rough for me, not gonna lie, haha but I'll get there....eventually.

We have a guy on date. His name is Ethan, and he is prepared. He has discovered the church through family history. Home boy has done.....drum roll please.... 6,000 names!!! Yep, you heard correct. 6,000 names found by our friend Ethan. We were able to move his date up (rather than the norm of moving it back). He is going to be baptized on April 23rd!!!

Some highlights:

I got to talk to my "daughter" Sister DeGroot!!

I drove down to El Paso with Sister Long!!

And I'm caught up on my Book of Mormon reading (trying to finish by conference)

Conference is in 12 days!!

I hit one year as a missionary this week!

This week in my Book of Mormon reading, I got to read about baptism, the priesthood, and the sacrament. 3 Nephi is just an incredible book. Period. We get an account of Christ teaching the people. How cool!!! But then shortly thereafter the people become prideful. There is a talk that I read that has helped me understand pride. It is called "Are ye stripped of pride?" It is a BYU speech. Here's the link: https://speeches.byu.edu/talks/kim-b-clark/ye-stripped-pride/

While I was reading, I discovered 31 talks to read...it's gonna be a lot, but I am excited to hear what they have to teach me!

Remember God loves you

I love you I love you I love you

This is the way

Love, Sister Amanda Moser
