Gotta get back to work!

Well hey guys!
I'm real sorry I didn't write last week! It was a little bit of a
crazy week, so hopefully I can fill you in on the basics of the past
couple weeks! The Fourth of July was so much fun:) man I love that
holiday! We woke up and ran the stake 5K which was all sorts of fun.
We then went to a breakfast at the Bishop Solsbees, the bishop of the
neighboring ward, house. He had his whole neighborhood which was fun.
We then went and participated in the Anaheim Hills parade. We had 100
missionaries carrying American Flags. It was so awesome. Such a neat
day. We had a few barbecues at members later and it just felt happy!
We had Pday on Tuesday! Our zone bought like 1000 water balloons and
so we played water balloon capture the flag which gets,pretty intense
I would have you know! We have been helping little Louanne with some
service every week. It's been really great and just the few hours a
week we spend there have completely changed her world so much. She had
a son pass away a few years ago, and we have been helping her sort
through his stuff. It's been kind of an emotional deal, but you can
just see the weight lift off her shoulders as we are there helping her
handle such a big project. Friday! Aubrey, former known as Sister
Zemp, my best friend, my sissle, my momma Z, was in town and her and
her parents took us to lunch. Seriously one of the best days ever! It
was so fun to be with her. I love that girl. Yup really do just find
the most glorious people while serving a mission. I lucked out with
that buddy! In a nut shells that's my life! Tune in next time folks!
Love yous!

Rosie and Moon Vlog week # 4

Something in the Water.

June 27, 2016
Well hello friends:)
What a wonderful week it has been! I am so excited to say that we not
only made our goal of 2 baptisms in June but surpassed it equaling 3
of the most beautiful baptisms I have ever seen in my whole life.
These people have been true miracles sent from God. Isabel and
Christina were baptized this Saturday. I don't think I've ever seen a
more beautiful sight then these two beautiful woman dressed in white
enter into the waters of baptism. To say that I absolutely adore them
is is an understatement. They have forever changed me. I am so
grateful to be able to see the change that happens when someone
accepts the atonement of Jesus Christ and accesses I through baptism.
I can even express that light that comes into them. It is night and
day different. The baptism was wonderful. A little girl Chirstinas age
spoke about baptism and it was pretty much the most precious deal in
the world. I was able to sing, and the baptisms were then performed by
an 18 year old boy in the ward who works with Christina ice skating.
It was perfect... Until they came out of the water and we realized
there were NO TOWELS.... DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNN. After a few moments of
panic, Bishop Dalton came to the rescue with super nice relief society
table clothes.... It was a total crack up. I'm sure they'll forgive us
right? Compared to that the rest of the week sounds pretty average. We
rode the elders bikes all day one day and serious... The scariest bike
ride of my life. I couldn't touch the ground on my bike so to get on
it I had to prop my self on to a wall and jump on.. I'm sure I looked
pretty goofy trying to do all this in a skirt. Memories! Hahaha!
Anyways! I love you all so much! Keep on Keeping on Kay?
Love,
Hermana Luna

Hello Sunshines:)
How are you people today? I hope you doing well:) my goodness I have
loved getting all your emails and love. Thank you so much for all your
encouragement and support!
It actually seems like a life and a half since I last wrote! My
companion Sister Rosenlund has seriously already become one of my
favorite people. It is insane how close we have gotten in just a few
days. I feel like I've known her forever. We have had a great week
although it feels like a  week full of goodbyes. My trainer, Sister
Zemp went home this week...:( seriously I felt like my heart just got
up and hopped to Canada! My goodness. I'm so proud of her. She's my
best friend. My Kurek family moved to Utah this week too. I have grown
so close to them. They are so wonderful and awesome. They kept my
belly and my heart full, but I am so excited because they have moved
to a place so close to home, and so close to USU, it's only a very
short goodbye:) we had one of the greatest services EVER. It was
graduation for one of the local high schools and we got called in last
minute to come help. We drove people around in GOLF CARTS! It was so
awesome. We drove them from the bottom to the top of this hill and it
was so great. It was kinda like Disneyland... But... Better. We even
got to give a ride to a celebrity, although he was really scary and
mean... Look up Dennis Rodman. So guess what... I'm on the California
Anaheim Mission DANCE TEAM!;) you think I'm joking but really it's
basically the best thing ever. We are dancing for the missions 50th
anniversary. It's a Samoan dance and since I'm about as poly as a
blonde hair,blue eyed girl can be... I made the cut;)! See pictures
below. Isabel and Christina are all ready to go for Saturday. It is so
amazing to see these two woman completely change their lives. I have
seen such a difference in them and we can give credit for that to
nothing but the atonement of Jesus Christ. Ryan was able to pass the
sacrament this week. I'm pretty sure there is no better feeling seeing
someone you had the opportunity of bringing to the water to make
sacred covenants, bringing others the means to renew that covenant for
themselves. I, pretty sure that is the feeling of overwhelming joy. I
love this church. I love the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is my joy and
my song.

In honor of Fathers Day, I just wanna give a shout out to the best dad
in the world. My truest, bestest friend, my favorite human Stevo
Mooner. Also a quick little shout out to my grandpa, my uncles, my
bishop, all my adopted dads. I love you humans. I hope you had the
greatest day ever. Most importantly I want to express gratitude for my
Heavenly Father. Of all the titles of respect and honor he is given,
he asks us to address Him as Father. I love Him. He is my greatest
source of comfort. He is my greatest source of light. We truly are His
children.

I love you all to infinity and beyond.

Love,
Sister Moon

Hello Beautifuls!
Its been another good week in the CAM. So much to do. So much to say.
This week I have definitely had to learn a lot this week about giving
my struggles to the Lord. There have been more than a few times this
week where someone has laid out their problems and struggles and I
just have had to sit there, not be able to do anything. I hate that! I
just want to fix everybody and help everyone be happy and feel loved,
and it wasn't my job this week unfortunately. I'm so grateful that the
atonement allows us to remove our loads of worry and concerns and
place them on the Savior who really is the ultimate fixer.

Isabel and Christina are progressing wonderfully. They were put here
for me, I am so sure. I just need them in my life. They make me so
happy. I was able to sit in on a blessing Isabel was given this week
and she grabbed my hand and held it through the hold blessing. My eyes
just swelled up with tears. I am just so overwhelmed with the love I
feel for these people. Its unreal.

So.... the California Anaheim Mission has a strange reputation for
elders and sisters marrying each other after the mission. Its a little
crazy but seriously 18 couples in the last 2 years have been CAM
couples. (We've even renamed our mission the Couples awaiting marriage
mission)  Its a little crazy, but my good friends Elder Saviianaea and
Sister Fulton, became Frances and McKenna Saviianaea this weekend and
we got to go!!! Seriously the best thing ever! So much love for those
cute love birds.

Well its transfers today... I am so happy to say I am staying in the
Yorba Linda 4th ward for my 3rd transfer. I love this place, but i am
so sad to say that my Tongan Princess is moving on this week. Im gonna
miss her like mad. So many good times. Im excited to start this new
chapter though! I love you guys like crazy. Thank you for your prayers
and love. To say that I feel it is an understatement.
Hugs and Kisses to all yal!
Love,
Sister Mahina

Holy Cow! It has been an amazing week. It actually feels like it's been at least a century since I last wrote, but it's seriously been incredible. Ryan was baptized this week. Highlight of my entire mission. I have never been a part of a baptism where the spirit was as strong as it was that night. It really was just amazing. 2 days before Ryan's baptism, Ryan's mom kinda just flipped out and didn't want him to be baptized. She pulled out all the stops and to be honest I don't blame her at all. She is a loving and tender parent who is kinda worried about her some who met these girls at the door just a month ago and is now joining their mysterious ways. Ryan was amazing about it though. He was able to comfort her and tell her this was his decision and he knew what he was doing was the right thing. Right before the baptism, Ryan's who family walked through the door. It was seriously the most incredible thing ever. As we went through the baptismal service, his mother cried throughout the entire meeting. She was so softened by the sport, and is now interested in having her entire family be baptized. Miracle? Yeah BASICALLY! It was seriously he best night of my life. I'm so grateful I had the chance to knock on Ryan's door that day, because of it, generations will be blessed. 

The other family we are teaching is a mother and daughter named Isabel and Christina. They will be baptized June 25. Mates. I just can not contain how much I love these sweet women. It is amazing to be an instrument in Gods hands as he communicates His love for his children through me. I always want to live worthy of that spirit and my calling for that exact reason. 

Christina is 8 years old turns 9 the same time as my little Anna. We have become sisters. As we teach them, Christina and I are all tangled up. Her mom just laughs and says "all I needed to do is come to church so my daughter could have a sister!" So beautiful. I love her dearly but she makes me miss my little mini:) Ryan is Harrison's age almost exactly. It's been so we some to teach him and prepare him to do the same things my brother Harrison is doing. Now all we need is a Justis Doppelgänger and I'll have all my siblings in the sunshine state;)

This week has been amazing, but it has also come with many challenges. The words to amazing grace by Chris Tomlinson have come to my mind several times as I have gone throughout my week. Some of favorite words are:

"My chains are gone,

I've been set free.

The Lord my Savior,

Ransomed me.

And like a flood,

his mercy Rains

Unending Love,

Amazing Grace."

How incredibly blessed are we to have the Atonement of Jesus Christ? Not only for the remission of our sins but also because of the infinite grace we receive as we apply it to our lives. I am so grateful for the enabling power that His atonement gives to me. My chains are gone and I have been set free! All things are possible through Him.I know He lives. I know he loves us and knows us perfectly. He truly is a God of Miracles.

Have a wonderful week everyone!

Love you a long time!

Sister Moon
