There might be a way to make this work via your own e-mail account directly to the Fire, but at best it will be complicated. There are two simple alternatives:

a) Using Amazon's Kindle Personal Documents Service you or your sister can send the MOBI to the specified e-mail address and Amazon will download it for you to your Fire (it will be under the Docs app).

b) Download from e-mail to a PC/Mac and sideload via USB to either the Books or the Documents folder. It will show up either under the Books or the Docs app (depending on how the MOBI is configured).
