So
just for the record I didn't actually think that Sister Moon was going to do it
lol I just thought of that time when Cameron wrote grandma and told her that he
wasn't eating anything. It’s still
nice to know that I can still mess with my family even when I’m not with you
guys lo!!
I’ll
let you know how I’m really doing! I’m having a great time!! I love my comp and
my district! I wish we all could go to the same mission because they are all so
awesome and we get along so well!!! Speaking of my district, my comp and I were
just called to be zone leaders! We
didn’t expect that at all. We were
studying in our classroom on Sunday before sacrament meeting and he called us
out to the hall. He said I’m going to make this quick, so we've called you to
be the new zone leaders. My comp and
I just looked at each other and were like umm ok. my comp was kid of stressed
about it, but I told him being a zone leader in the MTC is nothing compared to
one in the field. That seemed to
calm him down and now he’s fine now.
So I have a pretty cool story.
We teach this TRC investigator.
It’s just a volunteer that comes in and gets taught by the missionaries
in the MTC. They tell us they could be a member playing a role or an actual
investigator. Our "investigator", we don’t know if he’s a member or
not but his name is Marco. He is
an older gentleman probably in his late 50's and he is from Peru. He is a short guy and he has polio so he
walks with crutches everywhere. He
is the nicest guy you will ever meet!!!
My comp and I love him so much!! He helps us with our Spanish like if we don't conjugate a
verb correctly or are having trouble pronouncing something while reading. All the other investigators just watch
us struggle lol. Everytime we've
taught him he always seem so interested and the spirit is definitely present,
but our last visit with him was different and that’s what I want to talk
about. We didn't have much time to
prepare a lesson all we really knew was that we were going to teach the Plan of
Salvation. When the lesson started
it wasn't off to a great start.
We couldn't get our thoughts on track and we were all over the
place. Then as if someone had turn
a light on, the spirit filled the room and then my comp and I started
movin. I can’t even really explain
it. It’s like my comp and I could
read each others minds. We could
feel the spirit get strong and stronger!
Then we told him about resurrection and that he will be perfect. You should’ve seen his face when he heard
that. We told him he could be
perfect and that he wouldn't have polio anymore. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone so happy. He started talking about how he would
love to be able to run and if any one wanted to talk to him then they would
have to talk to him while running because he wasn’t going to stop! The Spirit
was stronger than I’ve ever felt before. I could understand and speak Spanish
like I never could before. It was
incredible! Then we lost him. idk
what happened but we said something and it made him confused and we couldn't
figure out how to explain it properly.
I could feel the spirit fading away and I thought we had lost him. Then
I got an impression to bare my testimony about my family. I knew his family was very important to
him so I thought it couldn't hurt.
I couldn't tell you what I said mostly because i have no idea what I
said. Really I didn't say
anything, the Spirit did. I just
opened my mouth and he did the rest. Whatever I said brought the spirit right
back and it felt even stronger than before. My eyes started to water as I bore my testimony and his did
the same. Once I was done I looked
over at my companion and he was just starring at me with a face I couldn't
really explain. I looked at my
watch and I realized that we were out of time so my comp asked Marco to say the
closing prayer. I don’t think I’ve
ever herd a more sincere prayer before.
It was awesome. We said
goodbye and write as we walked out of the room my comp and I just looked at each
other and we had nothing else to say but "Dude!" my comp told me that
he didn’t even know half the words I was saying during my testimony but that
the spirit was so strong and that we knew that Marco understood
everything. I can’t wait to teach
him again! He’s such a great guy I
wish i could just take his polio away but I know that the Lord gives us trials
for a reason.
I’ve
gotten all of your packages and grandma’s package. I don’t get a dearelder everyday but I get them about every
other day. idk I haven’t really
been paying attention to what days I get them. No one else is writing but Grandma Chesbrough sent me a dear
elder. I’m actually playing
basketball more now. I’ve gotten better and the rest of my district plays so I
thought I would to. I have no info
on visa but I do know that I leave November 2. idk if you know that or
not. I’ve broken one sweeter
out. It’s starting to get pretty
cold in the mornings. People are always commenting on how much they love my
ties. and I’ve realized ties are very important to missionaries lol. So if there are some nice ones I forgot
at home I wouldn't mind having them. It sucks about the guys loosing so bad to
Chino and Osos. I know they really
thought they had a shot. Maybe they
will do better next time! I think
that’s it. I love you guys so much!!! I’ll talk to you soon! Kiss my puppies for me!!
Love,
Elder
Moore
