Elder Kevin Moss

Hello family,
 
Another day, another dollar. Life is going just dandy here on this side of the planet. Last night was so sweet! I tell you I have not been sleeping that great because it has been so blessed hot. So I decided that I should pray that I could get some sleep. Well, needless to say, the season that never rains, dry season, it rained like crazy last night and we had the sweetest breeze. I woke up and just smiled and went right back to sleep.  It was so nice. Best night sleep in a long time. Man my prayers have been chockfull of stuff. . .  Amy and my package, sleep, investigators, Riss, the fam, Brian and Sharon. If people keep asking me to pray for them, my prayers will last all night so I won't get to  sleep haha. No, I am just kidding.  I love to pray for people I love you guys like crazy.  Just remember prayers work by faith. Not by individuals.  But I hope that everyone is doing good! How is my little older sister Amyzing? Surgery is not fun and not walking is even worse. But she is blessed with that sweet little girl, Brooklyn. Oh how I miss her, she better not be dating when I get home!!

Now, short little thing, Riss I will work on the topic or assignment of the people in the apartment haha and I love the song Amazing Grace as well the movie, Amazing Grace.  It is amazing, no pun intended. I am glad you got letters from me. I guess you have to blame Christmas mail for it being so slow. Oh and as for what I am studying, I sent some stuff that might blow your mind.  It is definitely blowing mine and everyone in the apartment. I was trying to figure out when and how exactly the great apostasy started. I have come to the conclusion that it was actually after Moroni died, which
is crazy cause most people teach it started right after the apostates.  The weird thing is that the plan was that the church would fall and we would have a restoration. Something that I have learned about God is that he puts things on this earth, then he takes it away, but then he puts it on the earth never to be taken again. Its crazy how it works but look at things of the past. Like the flood, garden of eden, the church.  Man the new testament is blowing my mind. It is making me way confused and making me learn bucket loads of doctrine. I love it.  I am becoming the doctrine master. Plus I am learning the Book of Mormon like the back of my hand. Something else that I have learned is, I am pretty positive, that Christ got married on this earth. But that is arguable. I am having a hard time figuring this one out. Were families foreordained before this life? If not that makes sense in some aspect but if so, then it doesn't really. Because many prophets have said that soul mates are fiction but if families are foreordained then you have a soul mate chosen in heaven haha. Just a cool question to think about maybe someone can help me with that one.  I have plenty more I am studying but that is enough for one day.

The week was kind of interesting in one way and not in another. I went on exchanges with Elder Marveh, it was sweet.  We decided to really hustle like nothing.   We had 8 lessons and we had a bunch of contacts.  The day went so sweet, it just flowed.   We were five min early to each lesson.  We just flat out had a great day. I love when we have days like that because the day goes by so fast. Something that I have decided is that you better not let me plan family night when I get home, ha because we will be washing clothes by hand in the candle light then after we will experience a bucket shower with a candle being light. Haha.   Man, I miss the washing machine like nothing. I will never use the statement that I have to ever again!!  It will always be, I get to. That is not a joke!  It will be so fun, I cant wait.

So I thought it was so funny, this story of our lesson. So we are teaching the ten commandments and we are reading out of Mosiah and the last one talks about how you should not covet, right?  Well, this lady is reading that commandment, her name is Gladys, she is just a way funny person. Anyway, as she is reading "thou shalt not covet thy man servant, his maid servant nor his ox nor his… and she stops and she gets this big funny look on her face and she says .. A**.   Oh my gosh it was so funny.  She started laughing and she goes how do you covet that… I was just laughing I told her its not what you think.  It is an animal. And just like Brandon, she goes OHHHHHHHH!!!  Man, maybe you had to be there, but I thought that it was so funny!
 
We had a fm this week which has been sweet.  We told our branch missionary to start working on that andhe came through. Every Sunday we will have one. Fm is a free meal by the way. The only problem is the meals can be scary sometimes and you have to eat them. Like Sunday, I prayed we don't have fu fu and guess what?  She brought out the playdough.   Man,  but its ok cause then she brought rice and then pineapple.  I was so full.  It was awesome!
 
So the sketchy part of the week,  I don't know why the people here have this foolish notion that I am a good singer but what the heck -  man I am not good at singing nor do I have any desire to sing in front of people unless it is just a joke or in the car singing Whitney Houston or something. But I received a phone call just the other day.  Well a text, it said "Elder Moss you will be singing a song.  Take time to be Holy next week on Monday. I reply huh I have never heard that song and why and where am I singing it. He said I will get you the lyrics and you are singing it for ELDER DIXON what…. A general authority. Ok - so I am nervous at this point.   It is a big thing to shake a general authorities hand let alone sing for him. So I say ok so who will be playing the piano, he says about that no piano all alone .Uh I thought he was joking. Well he wasn't.   Then to top it off, last night I received
a text, "Elder Moss, how's the song going? Almost memorized yet?"  I reply,  WHAT??? He said, " oh ya, you need to memorize it." Haha man I have a lot of work.  I hope I don't flub up in front of a general authority. That would not be good. The sad thing Is I am not a good singer so I don't have the slightest idea why they keep choosing me to sing. So pray for me that I will be ok singing for a GA.
 
I got the package as you know. As for me, the rash hmmm is still a rash, only to go away at home. Food bread and egg suplies my life haha.  Moslty just bread because most days the eggs are rotten. I have spent only one US dollar a day this whole transfer. Man, I am the boss. I have been walking like nothing. My companion, we are suspecting he will be leaving this transfer. But shhh, if I say something he wont haha. He just trys to get you mad. But I can tell you one thing, when I get home I will be able to live with anyone or anything! Haha 
 
Chachi going on a mish - good luck to him.  Antartica sounds like a place he can learn well and not have any problem with girls!   Who I am I to judge, at least he is going.

Well that's all for Bobana this week.   How's Caden and J dog?  I love you guys. Amyzing I hope you are getting better, Brian get busy, I need a nephew.  Love you Riss bucket loads!

Love me, Bobana, Alias Elder Kevin Moss
