It's been a good, HOT week! We had 2 baptisms on Saturday and they were confirmed yesterday. if anyone remembers the Ramey family... the family with all the boys that we taught... the oldest boy passed the Sacrament for his first time. As he left the table to go pass, I was so filled with the love of God, and just how much love his Father in heaven has for him. Brother Knapp was conducting and announced over the pulpit that this could be my last Sunday with everyone and invited me to bear my testimony. Oh man, my heart stopped. It's not set in stone that I am leaving as I won't know until tomorrow, and now if I show up at church on Sunday that could possibly be embarrassing... but I got up and took the boy that was just baptized on Saturday and his recent convert sister up with me, and we all bore our testimonies. I had to say I might still be here.... haha. But it was good. I could feel the love of the ward and am grateful for the 3 transfers I'd had to serve in hutch. Maybe a 4th one will be in the cards. The 4th of July is coming up! The ward here does a Community Breakfast and Flag Ceremony so we'll be going to that, and then migrate to the parade. I'm so excited for it! We have lots of appointments to teach this week and I'm stoked to go testify!! This is going to be short because I'm running out of time, but I'm so grateful for the church. Yesterday we stopped by an investigator's home and chatted with her because it had been a while. She told us she had a dream about good vs. evil in the world today, and we ended up talking about the war in heaven and agency. It was pretty neat. I walked away from that just thinking how grateful I am for the church. The church teaches us how to be in the world but not of it and how to potentially avoid serious mistakes and how to work through adversity. Where else can you find strength like that? Nowhere. I know the gospel has been restored. I know Jesus is the come Messiah and that He lives today. I'm so grateful! Transfers are this week so we'll see where I serve my last transfer. I'll let you all know next week. Thank you all for your support and love. I'm determined to serve and finish strong for the remainder of my mission. The last 1.5 years have been the most sacred experience of my life, and I owe a part of that to you. Thank you. Shall we not go on in so great a cause? Always, Sister Moore
