Hola!
It has been another great week here in LA 6th. Elder Kuo and I have just been busting it down here, in the California heat. Well for some of the days. We got a lot of clouds, rain, and HAIL as well. It was super crazy just driving my bike in all of it. Elder Kuo and I have been working just great together. We have some really great plans of how to jump start this area and get it up and rolling. So hopefully we will be able to get those plans into place. We really have been working a lot this week. We are still on the search for new investigators, and so we do a fair amount of knocking doors, and street contacting, super fun. Especially when you get to whip out some spanish on someone, and they are taken by surprise not knowing that I can speak spanish. Its pretty funny. We have been working with Wilbur still. The in-active member that we brought back. He is doing absolutely wonderful, and is loving it. This whole week has been pretty crazy trying to contact Enrique though. We can't ever get ahold of him, and he didn't show up to church. So hopefully we will be able to catch him one of these days. We are also working with Martha. I don't know if I have ever talked about her with you all, but she is a lady who showed up to church one day and said that she wanted to be baptized and so we started teaching her the lessons and all that jazz. She is progressing, and hopefully will be getting baptized at the end of this transfer, beginning of next. We have also been working with a man named Jaime. He is married to one of the members in the ward and has been working with Elder and Sister Peterson, the senior missionaries. He has basically been taught everything and now we are just waiting for him to be ready to set a date. He is so great, and comes to church every sunday. There are a lot of great things going on here in LA 6th, who knows what is going to be happening.
Like I said, Elder Kuo and I are doing just great. We really are working so well together. Sometimes I even think we might have the same mind because we ALWAYS say the same things at the same times. Quite funny. Well we were getting ready one day this week and I was thinking that I was really feeling a good breakfast. So I opened up the fridge to see what we had and we had some eggs and milk, and a bunch of other things that weren't breakfast related. So I checked the cupboards and found some sugar, and some cinnamon. So I made us some scrambled eggs and cinnamon toast. I couldn't help but think of Dad always making us breakfast on Monday mornings, the same things too. Good times.
What is the story with everyone back home? What is happening with Josh? I wrote him a letter but I haven't heard anything for awhile. Hopefully he is doing good and will be able to come to CALIFORNIA pretty soon. Anyone know about TJ, also? Let me know. Sounds like everyone else is going just great working, going to school, and getting a Keva Juice without me. But its all good, Elder Kuo makes me a smoothie like every day, jajaja.
Well everyone General Conference is right around the corner and I hope that everyone is getting prepared for another get one. It really is so great to have a prophet on the earth who is able to receive revelation from God. Hopefully we will all take these upcoming messages and apply them in our lives.
Pues, el tiempo se fue y ahorita yo tengo que ir a la lavanderia para recoger mis ropas, pero tenga una buena semana. Yo voy a hablar con ustedes la proxima semana. Espero que todo esta bien con todos y que ustedes estan luchando la buena lucha. Adios
Con Amor

Elder Corbin Moore-- February 27, 2012
Subject: No Effort Goes Unseen
Well transfers are this Wednesday, and I'd really like to know what is going to happen. Like I said last e-mail, I think that Elder Reichman is going to be leaving. So I'm either going to be staying here, and finishing up the training for Elder Clark, or maybe I'll get someone else. It difficult to say because Elder Clark could get his visa anytime and then they would have to put me in with another companionship. Maybe I'll be in another three-some. Who knows what is going to happen. We will get a call on Tuesay night, and then have an hour to pack our bags and be ready to leave the next morning. Its always so stressful on transfer week, always wondering where you are going to be and with who.
The work here has been slowly moving forward this past week. We have been seeing Enrique throughout the week, and he is progressing just wonderfully. Hopefully he will be ready to get baptized this next transfer, and if I'm still here that would be great. On the other hand if I wasn't I wouldn't be to sad, whatever happens, happens. Angel and Luz are doing great. We had planned to go to the Departing Missionary Fireside with them yesterday, but Luz's mother came from Mexico so she didn't come, but we still went with Angel. The Departing Missionary Fireside is something that we have here in the mission, the sunday before transfers all the missionaries that are leaving that transfer bear there testimonies and do musical numbers. They are all able to invite all their previous investigators and converts. It was really good, Angel really enjoyed it.
I have an interesting story for you all this week. So this last Sunday, we were at church, and were in Gospel Principles class with Enrique. Our district leader Elder Gonzalez called us out into the hall, and I was just thinking of all the things that could have happened. We got out there and there was this woman standing out in the hall. She told us that she had been attending church for the past two months and that she wanted to be baptized. Of course we were stoked and so we got her information and set up an appointment for Tuesday. Tuesday arrived and we went overt to her house for the lesson. As we started getting closer to the house, everything started to look familiar. We arrived at the appartment building and then called her because she had not given us her appartment number. She said that she was coming out to get us. We then saw the door of appartment A open. Right then it all came rushing back to me. The very first week that I was here in LA 6th, Elder Reichman and I had put together a list of former investigators to go and contact. We had knocked that door everyday for a week, trying to contact Marta. We had left notes on the door, saying that we were the missionaries and that we wanted to stop by another time and talk with her. But we never received a call or saw any results. Interestingly enough we found out that she had started going back to church the week and we had come by. Now we get to see the fruits of our labors. The is never an effort on the mission that goes unseen in God's eyes, or in our lives for that matter. Our heavenly father is very aware of all of our lives. Our struggles, our joys, our sorrows, our difficulties, our efforts to be better people. He knows each and everyone of us, and loves us. I know that that is true. He will be there it help us through our hard times. He'll never abandon us. Let us not forget Him, in our lives.
