Sister Amanda Moser: Patience is a Virtue 8/15/2022

This week was rough. We got 2 texts a couple weeks back about a lady named Lauren that needed help moving. We have no idea how we got roped into this. As we talked to both of them (separately), one was very kind because we told her we would help however we could. The other not so much. She went off because we didn't provide any shelter or funding for those that are homeless. Keep in mind that the homeless population here is HIGH

ANYWAYS, we told her that there are programs to help the homeless provided by the state. Well, long story short, we end up helping this lady move some belongings. It was supposed to be ½ an hour to an hour and it ended up being 2½ hours. A lot of things happened and it was awful! We sat in the pouring rain because it is monsoon season with thunder and lightning. This service was hecka stressful but we got her moved out

On the other hand we had a really good lesson with our friend James. He is an interesting case, but we talked to him about the power of the Book of Mormon and the Spirit. When those are combined, that is when you receive a witness of its truthfulness

We have been meeting with a less active family. We usually only get to talk to their 2 youngest...and even then 1 is running laps outside and the other is giving us rocks. We finally had a sit down lesson and taught them the Plan of Salvation. They loved it and it was so cute!!

I've been reading Saints volume 2 and it blows me away the things that have happened in church history. I am so grateful that we all have an opportunity to read it and that those that came before have kept a record.

As I have been on the mission, during the sacrament I read "This do in remembrance of me" by Jeffrey R. Holland. It is an amazing talk that helps me remember the importance and the symbolism of the sacrament. Give it a read!!
