Ok so I realized that I have neglected
to write a big email for a couple of weeks! I'm sorry! I'll try to catch you
up. SO! I left Berryville and it was SOOOOO sweet. I seriously have become a
member of the branch down there. THey threw a little going away dinner for me
with the relief society and gave me a card and Carmen and sister Galicia gave
me gifts. :') Not to mention everybody was swarming me and telling me to come
back and live in Berryville. I got so many hugs and letters it's unbelievable.
I have FOREVER been changed by the Berryville Branch members. Not to mention!
Sister Booms and I got permission to go to the fair my very last night there so
we went with the youth and the Grats and even got permission to ride some
rides!! :) It was a BLAST! Seriously, it was like THE best ending ever. I felt
so blessed. And now I still get emails from a bunch of them and I'm LOVING
HENRYETTA!!! Sister Gregson is my new companion and holy cannoli! She is
hilarious haha! We have so much fun and we're finding people who are prepared
and we're hoping to have a couple of baptisms this transfer but we just gotta
get through all the lessons with everybody! MAN! What a blessing. She also
loves to cook and do crafts so we are planning on making our apartment
adorable. We bought glitter, etc. today :) She is also a hippie chick which I
love haha. She's into saving the earth and I'm learning a lot from her. Also!
We're going to get hair cuts on the 18th which is my official half way mark!
We're gonna switch part of our preparation day time so we can snip away! :)
Speaking of which....I'm terrified cause I don't trust people easily with my
hair and there's a less active lady that said she would do it but I dont' want
her to do it and then I hate it cause that will cause awkward tension haha.
Maybe I'll just make sister gregson go first :) I will let you know how it
goes. I love you all and I'm so grateful to be serving here! The Lord is good!
She's been out 3 months. SHe just finished being trained.
I'm senior companion. THe most awesome thing that has happened in
henryetta...well actually there's been a lot of cool things happen. My first
couple of days here we went to go contact a referral from a nonmember and when
he opened the door he was like "hey I've been thinking of you guys"
And proceeded to tell us that he wants us to teach him and he set oup the times
and he was telling us that the only reason he hasn't been baptized is because
he's smoked for 60 years, BUT he has slowed down and he knows God can help him
quit. ...WHAT? Ya. It's was CRAZY. Then we were tracting in downtown Okmulgee
where all the black people like haha and we knoocked on this down and a girl
answered and let us in right away. SHe's about 22 and she let us talk to her
about the book of mormon and then she's like "Oh my mom has that book in
her room right now. I think she's reading it"...WHAT? Ya. Wo! The
only difficult thingis getting them to stick to their appointments. Sister
Gregson and I fasted this past Sunday
9/9/14
PLUS!! I forgot to tell you!! We're
taking TWO more recent converts to the temple this week! I'm pretty sure I've
taken the most recent converts to the temple out of everyone in our mission.
Everyone is always so surprised when I tell them how many. It'll now be 8! I
have been really blessed. And thank you for the hair pictures! The one on
the medium page the very first top left blonie is the cut I got last time and I
think I'm going for that one again!! I'm SO excited!!! Plus I'm going to go
with the less active lady cause she's free haha so if I hate it...at least it
was free :) THank you for being the best mom in the world! I lvoe you so much
and all of my package stuff was so cute! You know I love Lisa frank haha SIster
gregson's family is from Seattle so they sent her all these crazy Seattle
chocolates so we are livin large...literally... I'm a fat cow but I've reached a
point where I'm going to not eat seconds, only drink water and ...well actually
I really like juice. Maybe I'll just try hard to be healthy and not get
specific on what that means haha Also we volunteer at bountiful baskets here in
town every other weekend so they give us a FREE basket! We have a TON of
veggies and fruit! It's awesome! And the members here have signed up to feed us
EVERY NIGHT but like 2 this months so we're doing alright. We do need to figure
out what we can cook with 6 hatch chiles ...they're pretty big but I think I'm
just going to use them in my Mexican dishes that I am now pretty good at :)
...which speaking of...I miss Mexicans haha really though. I am really glad to
be surrounded by so much culture though. I love learning about different
ethnicities and what not.
Love you forever,
Sister Moreno
