April 30th, 2013: Im still a missionary!!

Hola


Well I woke up this morning and thought well atleast im still a missionary!! I love being a missionary and im happy with the work that ive done!! I love this work and couldnt be happier!! This past sunday we baptized a girl named Cristal. She was a blessing from the tender mercies of the Lord! We were very happy to help her into the waters of baptism!! I dont really have time to send pictures again but.. Ill see you in 2... weeks.. haha cool experience that happened was on saturday the sisters in my district told me that I would also be baptizing one of the three baptisms that they had on sunday as well!! We probably should have had the same baptismal service but theirs was at 11 and ours at 1 so we didnt.. Sooo I had the opportunity to get wet twice!! Would ya look at that! It was fun putting on wet pants for our baptism.. It was a great experience!! Well we are hoping to baptize atleast four more before I head out.. Family Osoy and Lesly and a little girl named gabriella!! WE hope and have a lot of faith that all will work out but we could use some extra prayers!! Also Im thinking of calling this sunday instead of mothers day! I feel like it would be better but i dont know But If so I will call to confirm and then hang up so you can call me back OKAY!!???? If not we will do it the 12th but I feel like it would be more effective this sunday for some reason!! What think ye??? Well I love you all and HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAKE I sure do love you 30 30 30 30 30.. Cool beans!! 

Welpcyalater...

Love
Elder Moon

Hello Family...

I dont have much time but things are well. I am just filled with mixed emotions... I dont really know what to expect to come home. It is kind of a weird feeling.. I love this work though and I am pleased with the work that I have done. I have no regrets! I have alot of time left to continue working hard. Satan is working harder than ive ever seen him work in my mission the family that we were going to baptize this week didnt come to church last on sunday because their moms house got shot at and the mom fell and broke her arm so they were at the hospital all of Sunday... Keep them in your prayers I have to see them baptized before I leave! They are the greatest! Well love you all.. Happy Birthday Molly I love you lots!! have a great week!!

Hello my Beloved family! 

The mission is going by too fast. I cant seem to find a way to stop it! This past week was a good week we are working really hard with a great/wonderful family that really need lots of prayers and thoughts. Family Osoy.. Edwin and Carolina. They are an awesome family. We hope to baptize them this weekend or the next. We are really happy for the improvment that they have made. Sunday night we helped them empty a brand new bottle of tiquila that they had. It was super funny but was a big step for them! They are super duper Catholic but thats okay because sooon they will be Mormons. This is the Truth! Catch the Wave!!! Everytime Elder Nelson said that I couldnt help but to think of the family at the beach catch family waves!! haha It was funny. I couldnt help but to laugh! I love Elder Nelson. 
We recieved a new companion but he left yesterday for Mexico so it was only for a week but it was a great time with him. His name was Elder Maldonado. He was from Guatemala and was a kid that loved to talk. A great teacher and a good friend. He will be a great missionary. He just needs to continue to remember the importance of obedience. I love our mission. We are an Obedient mission and it sure is great to be able to say that. yesterday we had to go to the Capital for my companion elder Legorretas passport. That was fun but just seeing all the other missionaries from other missions with vans on with cell phones and itouch Ipods it really made me sad to think of the time wasted by these missionaries. Its not our time it is the Lords time and it really makes me sad. I am no one to judge them but rules are rules and they struggle to keep them. The work is progressing and it is being slowed by alot of disobedience. It is sad. 
Well things are good we are working hard. Maybe not having the results that we want but we are working hard!! Gotta keep the faith strong!! Welp I sure love all of you and hope that all is well..

Hey family.

Well this past week went fast. Me and Elder Legorreta are staying together another change.. Cool beans I guess. HAHA We finished the Book of Mormon as a mission this past sunday. Oh how great it is! I love the Book of Mormon so much! I learn so much from it. We started Dec. 13th and ended March 31. How cool is that. Once again reading it has strengthened my testimony even more and confirmed the truthfulness of this Church. I love the Book of Mormon and I hope we all can feast from it daily! 
Right now we arent bapizing as much as we would want. Not really sure why. Sister Lesly bounced on us this past week and went to her moms house. It was Holy week so lots of people left out of town. It kind of was sad but we had a great week and found some potential baptisms for this month of April. I cannot beleive its April. Well General Conference is this weekend and I cant wait im really excited for that and I hope that we can all learn alot! I love this work. It is hard and it does take everything one has but it is all worth it and I couldnt be happier! I love you all and I hope you all know that. The mission has flown by like a dream but yet it is not over. If we teach enduring to the end then we have to do it too!! I will endure to the end.. its coming fast. Well I love you and hope all is well for the family!! 

Love
Elder A.R. Moon

PS.. Pictures??? 

Psss... I had a nightmare that I didnt get to sleep in my room and my bed when I got back... Where are Molly and Jeff Sleeping?? haha


April 2nd, 2013: Re: loves from mom

What a blessing it is to have a Mother and a Father like you two! I sure do love you both and I hope you know that the mission has been hard and it is hard but I am loving every minute of it! I have learned a lot and continue learning. I just want to thank you both for the wonderful example you both gave to me. Maybe I didnt learn much from your teachings because I really I never listened but I always learned from your example. Thanks for all you do and I can wait to see you!!! Love you both so much and I am So grateful for the blessing I have to call you my parents!
