Family,

We had a awesome week, besides the weather because that has really not been great lately. It has been raining and gloomy over the past week....kinda depressing really. Please AZ take some of this rain.

We have been really busy teaching this week, we had a few lessons drop through, but we had an awesome miracle with our investigator, XXXXX. Over the past few weeks she has been moving backwards and her desire was very low. We had an appointment with her on Wednesday. So we went in there hoping get her desire back so she can start progressing again. So we came into this lesson with that mind set and we wanted to read the Doctrine of Christ with her. As we did she accepted it very well and we asked her "based on what we read, what do you need to do?" She said that she needed to be baptized! We set the date of July 16, feeling that she needed time to progress and get things rolling. She said that she thought she would be baptized on the 28th, and we asked which month? And she said this month!! She said that she is quitting smoking on the 21st, so tonight we are taking all of her smoking stuff and getting rid of it. She is going above and beyond on her commitments. It's been an awesome experience.

I love you all and have a great week!!

Love,
Elder Moore

Family,

It was a busy, busy week! We picked up two new investigators this week and we hope we can get another. We had a good week teaching our investigators and some had some interesting stuff happen as well. During one of our lessons we had the investigator say the closing prayer and while he was saying it (which took about 10 minutes) he tried to speak in tongues.... it was weird. This area is awesome and fun because we are downtown. It is great being able to street contact people and walk in the city. The work here is amazing and we are seeing miracles. I can't believe how the work is taking off. We are teaching seven different people right now and we are hoping to set baptism dates with them this next week.

The weather is up and down here. It will be nice one day, then cold and rainy the next couple. It's kind of bummer summer weather. Oh well!

I love you all so much!!

Family,

Wet weather does not stop here in Calgary! We did pick up a couple new gators this week! We had an awesome miracle on exchanges where Elders Hepworth and Kuettel met a member and his friend. They taught him and set a date for the 18th, but he did not come to church so the 18th is no more. We have a lesson with him on Tuesday. We also taught a former investigator named XXXX and he is ready to be baptized. He has a testimony - he knows the book is true and the Joesph Smith is a prophet. But he won't be baptized without his wife, who does not have a desire to be baptized. We taught the Doctrine of Christ and explained the importance of being baptized now and tried to set a date, but he said no. We told him to pray about it.

Things are going well Elder Kuettel and I are having a blast and we are seeing tons of miracles! I love you all and have a great week!

Love,
Elder Moore
