MAMA!!!! I'm sorry about the email not happening yesterday and today has been insane too but we had zone conference in Tulsa so we didn't have preparation day until today. Mom I love you sooooooooooo much! I tell everybody you're my best friend and I am so grateful for all that you do and have done for me. Don't be sad! I think and pray about you all the time! I'm so happy to hear you're actually doing the quilt haha I'm not gonna lie I didn't think that was gonna happen ;) BUT! Look at you provin me wrong! Also.....I'm sorry about the nursery/puke incident......HAHAHAH I kinda laughed hysterically though :D I would have to agree sometimes going to church is hard but Mom you're doing what's right. I'm learning how important it is to be completely 100% with the Lord. My companion and I have been pounded on this week by the adversary. Then this visual came into my mind. An elder had told me that day that at home he sprayed the floorboards of his room every night with Raid so that spiders wouldn't come in while he slept haha and I had a strike of inspiration. Every good, preventative, righteous thing we do is like spraying bug spray around our home . Prayer covers the floorboard, scripture study covers the lower half of the walls, faith, repentance, keeping our covenants, family home evening, and love in the home all are levels of the home that are being sprayed with Satan repellent. :) Every day we have to renew those things and cover our home so that there's no uncovered area that is unprotected. I've learned that media is HUGE. Movies, music, and magazines, etc can invite Satan in and quite frankly we can't afford that. I can only imagine how hard Satan is going to try and attack you guys because I'm out here and because you each have such an influence on those people around you. PLEASE cover our home. Create a space where all of you can be safe from the adversary that so dearly wants to tear you apart. I'm being pounded on, but don't worry I'm covering my ground and I'm never going out of our safe haven without drenching myself in Satan repellent. :) Phew! Sorry haha kinda more serious but it's been an interesting week.
Ya so CRAZY! But on another note Erma I LOVE MY BLANKET SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!! :) You guys are the best and ma I'm so thankful for that xd card reader thing! It's awesome! I'm gonna try and upload pictures tonight and also send you that hilarious video of me eating frog legs haha. Oh! Brother Vendel also made me eat snails....ya hahah he gets enjoyment out of my disgust. :) It kinda tasted like roast beef/mushrooms. It actually wasn't that bad and no video was necessary. I didn't have seconds though haha. Have you guys gotten your Christmas presents yet???? Oh my goodness!! So the single mom! She and her kids and her less active mother all came to church on Sunday!!!!!! ISN'T THAT AWESOME!!!???? I was sooooo happy! They didn't stay the whole time but they said they were gonna come back next Sunday!!! WOOT! SO HAPPY! I was so nervous but the members were awesome! THey were so good. I don't know very many people's names yet but I yanked them over and introduced them and it turns out that one of our recent converts used to be friends with her and their kids went to preschool together and they were both so excited! THAT was awesome. God has it all worked out. Also, I went into my first house that was covered in cockroaches....ya. I was really anxious. BUT! They are such good people! Holy cow. They're less active and the mom has started coming back to church and we're working on the dad and he's so nice and good with the kids. I finally had to just ignore the walls and focus on the people becuase that's who I was there for and I don't have any room to be judging anyone. It was hard, but I did it. Ok I'm gonna go do the pictures, but in regards to zone conference. IT WAS AWESOME! We played games, President Shumway and his sons have a band and they're really good haha They played for us, and we also were spiritually fed. Once again Heavenly father is using my talents. They called me the night before and asked me to lead the music for our tri-zone meeting....so I did haha. Elder Burton is in my zone which is awesome! I talked to him for a good half hour and he's like "Sister Moreno, how is it that wherever we go people always know you do music. You're always picked for stuff like that!" Haha it's fun. I am not complaining at all. It helps me realize God knows me and is aware of me. :) I also learned that I need to memorize D&C 4, My Mission Commission, and The Standard of Truth....and 60 scriptures...ya. I've got a lot A LOT of work to do, but after last night, I don't want to leave any stone unturned. I LOVE YOU ALL and thank you to PROGRESSIVE AND THE YSA BRANCH!!! You guys are the best and I don't have time to write you but I truly appreciate all of you. :) And note to America and Emily : i'm assuming since you haven't written me in forever you're almost dead..... I lost both of your guys' addresses so I can't write you guys until I get a letter from you! My address is 4815 S. County Line Road AR, 72933. Also, my mission is the OTM...obesity through members...that's all that needs to be said about that. Please love me when I'm chubby. :)
Love,
Sister Moreno
