Is That Really a Monkey?

Editors Note: Harper was so sad she couldn't upload pictures this week but hopes her connection is better next week so she can send lots! I have included one from weeks ago that she didn't email out and one from our chat with her. Thanks for all of your love and support for Sister Moulton. 

Hello family and friends 

This week was pretty okay! First of all I got to talk to my family yesterday and it was so wonderful. I miss them so much but it was so good to see their faces. Happy Mothers day as well to the best mom I know who is constantly worrying about me and praying for me. I’m grateful for her and her love.

James was finally able to be confirmed this week! Yes it took a couple weeks. Reason being is that as soon as James was baptized he faced some personal issues and started getting peer pressured by his friends that didn’t support his baptism.  So we had to work through those with him. He talked with the bishop and this week he was able to be confirmed. He bore his testimony about the Book of Mormon and how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the true church. He is doing better and the friends he is making at church are having a good influence on him. Its true though about how much Satan tempts those just when they make a good choice. Right when we are on the path to eternal happiness Satan wants to stop us and prevent us from going forward just like he tried with James. Its up to us to be strong enough so that we can withstand those temptations and learn from them. I am grateful for the gift of the Holy Spirit that James received this week to help him as he continues to withstand those temptations. The Holy Spirit really is our guide and will be our constant companion when we choose to remain worthy of it. Satan is powerful, he is, but we are given everything we need to become strong against the temptations. 

Okay by far one of the highlights of my week is about my subject line. So we are in a new area right? So this area is super posh (rich). The people that stay on this one particular spot are mostly state house people that stay there and so the guards wont let us in to talk to them, but we decided to drive to this one part and get out and walk to talk to people. We are on this one road and I see something climb the fence of this super nice nice house and I like do a double take and then my comps says "Its a monkey!" I was like, "Are you sure that’s really a monkey?" I WAS SO IN SHOCK and then we kept walking towards the house and just saw a bunch of them. THEY WERE ALL OVER! Oh man it was so cool I think my companion thought I was crazy but I was so excited and took so many pics cause I SAW A MOENY IN MY AREA JUST ON THE ROADSIDE! Its like a stray dog but a monkey! And not just one but a bunch!!! SO COOL! 

Also we have been finding a lot. We are trying to find ALWAYS in all ways so if anyone has creative ideas for how to find people, let me know! Cause knocking gates isn’t going to work forever. This one day we found this compound with a bunch of smaller homes so we walk in and find out its like a police camp for their families. We ended up contacting three different women named Agnes in that area and then another Agnes on the way home! FOUR WOMEN NAMED AGNES IN ONE DAY. One of them has to be serious at least. 

Anyways that’s the week. Heavenly Father is continuing to show me and my companion miracles and I’m grateful He helps us. This work is definitely not easy but its so worth it when you have Him on your side. 

Hope you all have a good week! 

with lots and lots of love,
