Happy Birthday to me!!!

Happy Birthday to me!!! I AM 20 YEARS OLD!!!!! CRAZY!! :) Today has already been fantastic. Sister Fleck and I got up to exercise this morning and after we did I opened up my presents from you guys and Emily!!! They came in the mail yesterday but sister fleck made me wait :) She is so fantastic! She made me french toast and bacon for breakfast. She covered the fridge with birthday songs and wrote a big happy 20th birthday on the bathroom mirror and sticky noted my desk with birthday wishes haha :) It was very sweet :) PLUS!!! It's POURING outside right now haha which means I got to wear my new rain coat that I LOVE SOOOOO MUCH!! It's perfect! It keeps my skirt down and it has a hood so it's fantastic. ALSO! I'm wearing my new green cardigan today and I think it looks pretty good if I do say so myself! :) YES I did get Erma’s video!! It came on Halloween which worked out perfect cause we had to be in at 7 since our ward wasn't having a party...sad haha but it was awesome we got in our pjs and watched that video and then made a video that I'll send to you guys. We're also working on a special musical number that we'll send to you once our skills improve :) Man I am so grateful for all of you guys that sent me cards and gifts. :') I love you all!! Emily! I LOVE THE NAIL POLISH! You're so right it is the perfect periwinkle :) I was totally thinking to put the think one on top and then I read your card and thought "yes we are best friends :)" I will only be able to wear it on my toes but if you paint your toes that color then we will be matching hundreds of miles apart! And Erma, Grandpa, Nelson and Stevie THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH for the video and the card!! You guys are the best. Although it was rude of you to eat ice cream cake right in front of me ;) But! Moving forward. We had this super cool experience this week. We were outside the OSU campus going to go have a lesson with one of our recent converts and his wife and there was this guy getting out of his truck right next to us...slightly attractive, but don't worry my heart is locked! :)Haha anyway. We got out and he started talking to me and it was kinda flirty I'm not gonna lie but when he asked me what my name was I told him "sister" and introduced us. We gave him a pass-along card with our number on it and told him to call us if he was interested in learning more. Well!!! HE called us back like a week later and we've taught him TWICE now! And it's PERFECT because he's really been looking for guidance and for friends and the Flowers (RC couple) live in the same building as him and we've had both lessons with them there. It's AMAZING! I'm just so excited to see where things go because he even asked them for a ride to church but it was stake conference and stuff so ya but it's gonna be great! Speaking of stake conference! SOOOOOO!!! We had some CRAZY things happen. As I told you Elder Alan Packer came down to the mission and we had a big zone conference with him which was AWESOME!! I learned so much from him and our musical number went pretty well!! We had one spot where we lost our parts but other than that it went well. :) But yes at stake conference, where he presided, a new stake was announced and formed! ACTUALLY THREE new stakes were formed in our mission this past week!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT??!! That means we are doing our job! The church is growing here in the Only True Mission :) Berryville is a part of the new Rogers stake and I'm SOOO excited! What was kinda crazy though was that all of our districts got swapped around. Sister Fleck and I were the only ones from our district that got moved. We're now a part of a whole new district half way through the transfer! Which...is kinda sad actually cause I really loved our district and I didn't get any pictures with them or anything and they're all hilarious. BUT! Elder Cresswell, our district leader is going home this transfer anyway; so I guess it makes the parting less painful haha He's hilarious. We're going to be best friends when he gets home :) Only he lives in South Carolina haha so ...ya. Facebook! :) Annnnd...goodness I had a whole list but I left it at home darn it! So I'll try to remember it all. We were mobbed by like 6 moms at stake conference taking our pictures and telling us about a missionary mommas page so join that mom I guess haha and hmm We had really good lesson with our investigator, Kascey. We taught her the plan of Salvation and told her to make a picture of the sun and hang it on her wall so that she can always remember what her goal is and what she needs to do to get there. We told her we'd make one too so we did and mine is awesome! Sister Fleck thinks it's weird but its folk art! She was all using a ruler and whatnot and I kept adding colors :) I think it's cool. But ya I think that's about it. We're working hard and I'm learning so much every day. We're having dinner with the Hardgraves tonight and they said they're making me a special cake to celebrate and then Dalton and Emily Flowers (my best friends) are making me something desserty AND so is a less active lady named Kim! SO! I'm very blessed to be surrounded by such great people and I will not be able to walk by the end of the day :) Y TAMBIEN! Mi hermana Cassandra Nicole Moreno tiene un fantastico cumpleanos esta Sabado!! Te quiero mucho! :)

Love you forever,

Sister Moreno
