 ROBBERY SUSPECT ELDER MOSS TAKEN TO POLICE STATION FOR QUESTIONING

Saturday began as an uneventful day until Elder Moss decided he needed to go pick up some meds from the pharmacy.  Should have been a 20 minute trip...2 hours later he shows up with a tale to tell.
He had spent an hour and a half at the police station!   He stopped at the ATM to get some cash  took out 1000 Pula stuck it in his pocket and then walked away to a more seculded spot to put it in his wallet.   He then went on his merry way to the pharmacy and the grocery store after which he returned to the car to find a very angry woman waiting for him.   She started screaming at him and he was clueless as to what her problem was but as the crowd gathered and they started glaring at him he figured out that she thought he had taken her 2000Pula.  He assured her that he would never do that..She screamed she had seen him do it!   Shortly the police showed up and tried to get the  bottom of the problem.  They finally said lets go down to the police station and figure this out.  So Elder Moss drove to the police station with a policeman.  He was taken in to the station where he sat and told 5 policeman what had happened.  The woman said she saw him put the money in his pocket and then he  walked where it was hidden and moved it into his wallet.  They searched his wallet and found only the 1000 pula minus what he had spent at the pharmacy and the grocery store for which he had the receits.  They searched the car and his pockets and wallet and could not find her money.  She finally agreed that she had made a mistake..She shook hands with Elder Moss.  And he came home with his tale to tell.   I thought it was really funny, and so did he!  Another  memorable day in Africa!

The picture above was suppose to be here.  It is a picture of my seminary class getting ready to go for a hike up the mountain (hill) with the Elders and Young Adults.  They were so excited.  As you can see there are no laws restricted riding in the back of a bakkie (pick up).  I really love these kids..they are fun to teach.
Now lets see if I can get the next picture in the right place:



Ohh well!


this is Sacrament meeting in Kanye.  Electricity was out in the village of Kanye, the church has no windows!  Sacrament meeting was very nice in this setting.  The baptismal font is off to the side.  After the cllosing prayer the Branch President got up and said because we can't have any classes today Elder and Sister Moss will talk to us for the next 2 hours!  Suprise!  I talked for about 45 minutes and Larry talked for another 30 minutes and church was over!!

I love reading the scriptures the more time you spend in the scriptures the more time you want to spend with them.

We really appreciate every email, facebook post, communication of any kind, from our family and friends.  thank you for your prayers and support.  We love you all.  I want you all to know that the Savior lives and is aware of each of us and our situation's, he is there waiting for us to turn to him so that he can heal our sorrows, forgive us of our sins as we repent and help carry our burdens through his atonement.  What a wonderful gift.

Love Mom and Dad, Elaine & Larry, Grandma and Grandpa  or what ever you want to call us!
