Hi all,
This last week we gave some great 7-day challenges. One of the challenges we gave was to one of the ward missionaries we work with. At first their reaction was "Oh, I don't know any nonmembers", etc. They went on for about 5 minutes and then finally told us about a lady they were holding furniture for. The lady is going through a rough time in her life and they were thinking just the other day that she could really use the Gospel in her life! So I will let you know how that turns out. Another challenge we gave to a bishop. They are working with a friend and also their neighbor, so we are praying some teaching opportunities come from it.
Last Sunday was "Missionary Sunday" in the Evergreen ward. Elder Greenwell and I gave a talk in Sacrament meeting and also sang with the choir. I spoke on missionary work and examples of members doing missionary work.
This is the last full week of this transfer. I could either be staying or going. Who knows? I have only been here for 2 transfers, but I have been with Elder Greenwell for both so if I stay I will probably be getting a new companion. This Sunday our district is putting on a Music and the Spoken Word fireside. Elders Newman and Farnsworth (from Mesa) will be singing and the rest of us will be giving talks and what not. We are marketing it really well and are hoping for a good turnout and that members invite their friends to it.
I am glad to hear Aunt Kennedy is doing well and we are still praying for her.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot about zone conference...we had it last Thursday and it we had some really great trainings from President and the assistants. At the end of the conference, they showed us a video fro the 90's of the BYU choir singing "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing". It was amazing and every one's eyes were wet. The Church is true!
Love you all! Have a great week!
Love,
Elder Moore

Just another normal week in the Calgary. haha This week was pretty good...just the usual teaching members and trying to build their faith in missionary work. So Mom is a ward missionary now? Nice! As of right now, we have no investigators but there are some awesome members who are working with some people and we are working to get those members to invite. On Friday, our district had a great training from Pres. Archibald and the APs, Elder Gulbransend and Meyers. They talked about about our stewardship, and also setting goals as a companionship and district. I'm enjoying this area. The members are sweet and we have a some good ward missionaries who are willing to work and get stuff done. This next Sunday is "Missionary Sunday" in the Evergreen ward. I'm giving a talk on past experiences of members being successful in missionary work. We are also singing in the choir. haha. Have you guys given a talk since we moved in that house? Well, I love you guys so much! Have a great week!

Guess what today is? Yep, my 11 month anniversary. It is crazy how time flies by. I didn't realize it until Elder Shupe (who came out in my transfer) was over with Elder DePriest for comp study and he said something. haha
Last week we switched things up a little and did lots of service for members and non-members. We helped a member put up drywall and then helped a guy move. Another day we helped a non-member move some rock to his back yard and then we got a call from a member who said his neighbor needed help building his deck for his wedding. We also helped a lady move. It was really fun and we are going to try and stay in contact with these people. We aren't teaching any investigators yet, but we are hoping things will change soon..... we do have a couple less actives that we are teaching now which is good. Well that has pretty much been our week. haha
I love you all!!

Hey everyone!
Well same ol' stuff this week for us. Going by members and some potentials just trying to make stuff happen. Over the past week we have got some media referrals and we are hoping those turn into something. Because our area has changed up a little, we have been meeting a lot of cool members in Canyon Creek ward, so that's been fun. I wish I had more to report on actually teaching people, but there is nothing right now. We are having lots of fun with our district. haha There is a set of Mandarin-speaking missionaries in our zone. One is from Provo and the other from Taiwan. We keep pranking each other, messing with each others cars. haha It's fun. Their car is already so messed up. They got caught in a hail storm in northern Calgary and the car was pummeled by golf ball-size hail. It looks like they parked it in the middle of the driving range! haha It's crazy. We are still doing missionary work, don't think we are just all play haha. Well I love you guys so much and miss ya tons! Have a great week!!

Will you get to go to the Woodbine gator's baptism this month?
Yeah, but she is going to be gone this whole month so it might not happen this month.

Were you able to see the Northern Lights last week?
Nope. It doesn't get dark here till late, so I'm in bed by the time it is getting dark.
How is Elder DePriest doing? When did he go out? Is he loving his mission?
He is doing great. We are having a blast in our district. Three guys who I came out with are in my district too. It is a lot of fun.

Well transfer week has come and gone and I'm staying put with the same comp; but my area has switched up a little bit. We used to cover Woodbine and Evergreen wards and now we cover Evergreen and Canyon Creek wards. I was kinda bummed about this because our only investigator is in Woodbine ward and her baptism date was is set for the end of the month...... now we are back to Zero. But it is all good. It's the way things go.
Guess who I'm sitting next to? Dallis DePriest! haha He is in my district now. (Ed. note: Elder DePriest went to school with Elder Moore from kindergarten until Elder Moore moved when he was a sophomore in high school.)
So lately we have been getting some crazy thunderstorms with lots of rain. Yesterday we were in the car in the church parking lot and the water came right up to the door of our car ha.
Not much has happened in our area. We have been meeting the members of the new ward we cover. They are awesome and treat us well. We are happy it is August now cause half Kilometer month is over. haha Now we don't have to worry so much and have to get rides from members ha. Well I love you all and have a great week!
