Elder Moore and Booth both had birthdays on Zone Conf day. Everyone sang a special song to them. My wife put a big candle in his cup cake.

Hey all!
Well this last week flew, even though nothing really happened haha. Last Wednesday night I woke up with a bad stomach pain then a half hour later I puked.... a lot.. so I knew that I was in for a fun time the next day ha. The next morning was interviews and we still had to clean our car and vacuum it out. That was not too much fun while feeling like I was going to upchuck, so I did make it through interviews... barely. Then we went to the church to do some weekly planning, but it was not working for me. So for the rest of the day we went on splits with other missionaries and I stayed with another sick elder. Thankfully, by Friday I was doing a little better. We had Zone Conference, so it was good that I was just sitting all day. For lunch at Zone Conference, a sister from 12th ward made Cafe Rio pork salads/burritos. At first I wasn't too sure if I could eat it, but I did anyway and didn't care about what the consequence would be haha. I think some one was watching out for me, cause nothing happened and Ii actually felt better after!
In regards to teaching this last week it was a little slow. Probably our best day was last Thursday cause we had an appt. with a part member family, a less active, and some other members. Unfortuantely, I was sick and couldn't go. We had some other lessons with some members this week too, but investigator-wise nothing is happening yet. There are some part member families that are soooo close. I guess we will see what happens in the next little bit. The members here are awesome and they treat us very well and are a lot of fun.
Did you get the envelope I sent to you?

How goes it everyone?
Well I just hit 8 months last Sunday!!! Time flies when you are working hard trying to get investigators! This last week was pretty slow for us. Not much teaching going on, but hopefully we will soon. We have a lot of hopeful things happening like part member families that are really close to taking the lessons. One family the Mom is the only member, but not the kids or the dad. And he is not why they aren't members. It's the grandma that is holding everything up..... she is very faithful Catholic. The kids go to seminary, church and Young Men's...the whole 9 yards. They even pay tithing, but hopefully soon we can teach and baptize them because they want it. There are some other part member families that we will be teaching soon. We have also been teaching some less actives lately and working with them is pretty cool too. It's awesome to see them get back into the swing of things and start going to church and getting their testimony back in line.
Ya. Sis. Owens told me about it some yesterday and I feel bad for the missionaries there right now. I try not to think about it too much though, because we do hear a lot of negative things about what's going on. Also, I am glad I'm not there to watch the D backs stink up the field haha.

Hey all!
Well this week was an excellent week! Last Wednesday was transfers and I'm staying in my area at least for another 6 weeks. I'm happy about that. This area I'm in is awesome! The members are sweet and great things are going to happen this transfer! Teaching this last week was a little slow. We taught some members and gave a 7-day challenge to the Elders' Quorum Prez in 12th Ward and he is really ready to roll with it. Also we gave a lot of service to members. On Saturday Morning we helped a guy move till about 12 and the from there we went and helped a less active move a fridge out of the basement. Then we helped clean up their yard.... it was pretty bad. We didn't get in our suits till about 5:30pm. ha It was nice. Then Sunday, of course, I talked to you guys on the phone! I loved talking to you guys! That was basically our week. The past few days we have just been going by some members and less actives setting up appointments with them.
To answer some of your questions Bro. Troy Leavitt is awesome. He is a way cool guy and is a solid member missionary. The best meal I have had here is probably steak from Bro. Telfer and then from Bro. Zealand Leavitt, they are a tie. The steaks were amazing. Also, I almost forgot about the Rice's, they fed us crab legs and steak and that was way good. Well I love you all and miss ya tons!!

Hey all! It's transfer week and looks like I'm staying in Lethbridge with Elder Dastrup for at least another 6 weeks. Well things slowed this week. We taught member lessons and gave a 7-day challenge yesterday to the Fletchers (get this Bro Brandon Fletcher served in the UT Ogden mission and served at the same time as Andy) and on Sunday we taught Mr. X again and all he wanted to do was bash with us. We couldn't get two words in, he just kept talking... we might meet with him again, but who knows.
So yeah, another transfer come and gone... time flies. This next transfer will be good and I'm looking forward to it, cause the members are getting missionary minded. I'm stoked.
So get this, we go to the Library this morning and it was closed... so we are at the Owens this morning emailing.. ha well I love you all and will talk to you Sunday!
Love
Elder Moore

Nice Letter About Elder Moore - May 1, 2010
Editors Note: We received a letter from the ward mission leader of the Heritage ward in Lethbridge this week. What incredible members there are in Canada that would take the time to write us to let us know how our missionary is doing. In addition, the Elder's quorum president from the same ward and his lovely wife and little girl were on "holiday" in AZ and came by today to drop off a package from Hayden (a Canadian hockey jersey, of course!). What sweet people they are and how nice it was to visit with them and find out how Hayden is doing.
Here is the letter...
Moore Family:
My name is Brother Tim Rollingson and I'm the ward mission leader of Heritage Ward in Lethbridge, Alberta where your son is currently serving. We are so pleased to have Elder Moore among us. The work in our area is visibly progressing as a direct result of the work of your son and his companion, Elder Dastrup. He is an effective missionary and I personally appreciate his willingness to obey and work hard, magnifying his calling. He looks well and our members are getting behind him (and feeding him). Thanks for sending us such a worthy servant of the Lord.
With All Sincerity,
Tim
