Happy leap year!
I just remembered that the Olympics are this year.
Biggest
news from this week is that we saw LUCY!! about a month ago, she told
us that she was checking into rehab. We texted her a few days later,
and a few weeks after that, but she never replied, so we assumed that
she was in rehab like she said. But on Thursday night, we saw that her
lights were on. So we went there and she was home! Turns out insurance
wouldn't cover rehab, so she's been home for the last 3 weeks. Since
she lives alone, and now the only person that used to be helping her has
now cut her off, so trying to get clean is a huge and overwhelming
task. We are trying to help her as much as possible. We are getting
her rides to recovery meetings every day from people in the ward, and we
are trying to visit her every day to check up on her, make sure she's
okay, and to just help her feel God's presence in her life in these dark
times. Addiction is a horrible thing, my friends. If you or anyone you
know of anyone who is struggling with any kind of addiction, please go
to the Addiction Recovery Program website .
Please pray for Lucy. The withdraws are tough, and especially where
she's living alone, she needs to feel the presence of God as much as she
can. The great thing is that one of our other investigators, Reagan,
is in that same ward, and Reagan has volunteered to help Lucy out in
whatever way she can. So by serving, they'll both be coming closer to
Christ. God bless these wonderful people who sacrifice their time to
help someone in need.
We are still working
with Sara. Sweet girl. She is so ready for baptism. Just wants to tell
her parents first, and then she'll be on her way to a solid baptismal
date.
I love the Lord so much. I love this
work so much. The panic of going home hasn't quite set in yet, but I
can feel the dread approaching. Not the dread of going home, per say,
but just the dread of not being a missionary anymore. I love seeing
this name tag upon my chest every day. I love the sacred calling with
which I have had the privilege to represent the Savior. I love the
people that I have been able to help come unto Christ. I will miss
having a reason to walk up to a random stranger and talk to them about
Jesus. I will miss this life a lot. But I know that moving forward is
important, and I will constantly strive to do so.
Also, I am old as of this Sunday. 
I saw a baby this week. I can't wait to hold a baby.
Love you all so much!
God Bless,
Sister Moreland
