Hello! so this week I hit five months on mission! I can hardly believe it, and everyone says it just flys after 6 but i already feel like its flying! I have grown and learned so much and there have been rough times but after every rough time I am reminded why I am on mission. 
OKAY OTHER BIG NEWS.... IM BEING
TRANSFERRED!!! President called me to be a sister training leader in the
Woodlands Zone. I will be moving this week and will be companions with one of
the awesome sisters I used to live with. I also will be a driving missionary
now! I am pretty excited for the new change. Bummed that I wont get to finish
training Sila and so so sad to leave my area but I know the Lord needs me
somewhere else. I had to say bye to some people this week and it made me
realize how much I truly love them. Our area is the best but I know there is
still great things ahead!
We were walking through
our area one day on the way to an appointment and this group of kids calls us
so we go over and they tell us that their school teacher, John was his name,
was calling for us. So we go to the school and all the kids are on break. The
teacher welcomes us in and has us sit on a bench and asks us all these
questions about what we do and says he wants to learn more. Meanwhile the kids
are gathered all around just staring at us 37 of them! It was so funny, and the
teacher said he had seen us before talking and entertaining some kids so he
thought we could entertain his kids and we did even just by sitting there
talking! So after we got his contact and finished the conversation Sila and I
had to the idea to take a picture and WOW it was a mad house but so fun. The
kids all gathered around and squeezed in so close! If you look at the picture
you can barely see my head! Its kind of like where is waldo but where is Sister
Moulton the azungu (white person) haha. We gave the kids stickers on our way
out too. I love our area haha.
So this week we went
finding in our area. Basically how we find here in kalinganling is we talk to
everyone who is outside. So we stopped at this compound of houses where this
women was washing clothes. I say to her, "Can we help you? Sister Sila is
really good at washing and me I can hang clothes really well!" and she
lets us in to help her. We end up helping her wash all her clothes and end
up getting to meet her entire family who all stay in one compound! They thought
it was pretty funny that we were washing but hey I think it’s a great way to
find. We shared a short message with them and the one girl said she would come
to church! She didn't end up coming because it was raining so bad but I hope
that we can visit her in the future.
We are teaching this new
man named Charles. He is so interested it amazes me. If he doesn’t understand
something he gets this look on his face and then we re-explain. Sister Sila and
I have been teaching the priesthood in a different way using the pamphlets as a
tower haha. Probably doesn’t make sense but when I get back I’ll explain it
haha but its been so powerful to see how it is helping people understand. And Charles
really understood the priesthood by the end of it and asked how he could be
baptized and receive the priesthood. I know that there is always more things to
learn on mission, everyday I learn something that helps me become better and I
am so grateful I have 18 months to do it.
Also my sweet mom sent
these "mom" and "daughter” t-shirts in the mail and Sila and I went
and took pictures in them. On mission when you are training you are called
"mom" and then your trainee is called your “daughter!” haha I will
miss being this girls "mission mom" but she will continue to do great
things in the area.
I know that this gospel
is true and I know that God does answers prayers. He listens even when it feels
like the answer doesn’t come right then, it always works out in the end. So
keep praying!
Hope you all have a great
week.
with lots and lots of
love,
Sister Moulton
