Week Four - Teaching

Hello,

Okay, what an awesome week!! So we had divisions last week, and I got paired with Sister Moss' companion and Sister Bittencourt. Both are so amazing! We taught really well together, I feel like. Um I had the opportunity to teach Sister Barney and her companion Sister Duarte, also both are amazing! I really love teaching them, Sister Duarte is so sweet. She gives me a lot of hope for my teaching. She told me last week, that she enjoys to listen to me teach because she can tell how hard I work to make sure the investigator feels how I feel about whatever I'm teaching about. She says the spirit is so strong when I give the first vision, which is really cool because I've worked really hard to memorize it. But yeah that was awesome.

Um Sister S gave us a scare yesterday, we were teaching and we saw her run out. We followed to make sure everything was okay but when we got there she was on the ground crying in sister Southwick's arms. Apparently she had a hard time breathing and passed out for a bit. I know from this experience that God does answer our prayers. She's doing much much better today! Whew!!!

For the past few nights I've been up almost to the last minute just talking and hanging out with Sister Southwick and Sister Skelton, I love them so much and we all get along so well!! 

I'm almost out of time but I wanted to share a little bit from the devotional last night. It was a recorded MTC devotional by Elder Holland and it was incredible. He asked a bunch of questions that really got me thinking. So he said that, obviously, our purpose here on the mission is to invite others to come unto Christ, but said that we couldn't invite someone to do that if we aren't there or on our way there ourselves. That really hit me. Am I on my way to Christ?? Can I invite people to come with me or would it just be a hope. Anyway, think that's about it. I'm out of time.

Love you all so much!!!

Sister Moss!

Questions and Answers

What kind of awesome things happened for you and Sister Barney this past week? So Sister Barney and I taught one of our investigators this week on eternal families and part of the plan of salvation. I went in with absolutely no notes, and I think it went super well. We spoke the words to Families Can Be Together Forever and I shared about how we had Maiya sealed to us and Zac will be sealed to us soon. The spirit was so strong, we were all crying! I absolutely love Sister Barney, we get along great! 

How was the temple? The temple is always incredible. There's something so special about going with nearly 120 missionaries. I love the temple so much!

What was the most spiritual thing from this last week that you'd like to tell me about? The most spiritual thing was either testimony meeting on Sunday, the lesson with our investigator or our devotional last night. Super amazing stuff. I really enjoyed the devotional last night, it got me thinking about a lot of stuff. I'll share more in the group email.

How are all the elders and sisters in your district doing? Everyone in my district is great, we had a little scare yesterday with Sister S, but shes much better today. To make a long story short, she couldn't breathe and passed out for a bit. We aren't totally sure what happened but she's much much better today. Whew!! I've honestly never been so scared in my life.

What has been something you've struggled with and how have you overcome it? I struggle a lot with not understanding the language. and I'm still working on overcoming it. One of my instructors told me to study the Book of Mormon more and pay more attention to the grammar and stuff. I really hope it works!

What kind of fun things do you have for your p-day? We basically just roam the street and explore a bit. Find some really cute skirts (I bought one last week) and just kind of enjoy being out in the city.

What's your favorite thing to do at the CTM? Favorite thing in the CTM is probably pday being out and about, or choir one the nights we have devotionals. Music just brings the spirit so quickly it's amazing.

Least favorite? Um I don't think I really have a least favorite. The whole experience here is amazing!
