PEOPLE REALLY DO GO TO CHURCH!

Okay, so this one will be in just English I think. I'm with lots of pain to my head and ear and the clicking when I type isn't helping a whole lot... buuuut, this week as you can see in the title we finally had people... investigators at church with us!! Man it was great. Even though one doesn't live in our area, the other doesn't want us to teach her in her house, the other needs to get married and is basically an investigator forever, and the other told us he didn't want us to go back to his house, but he wants to be baptized and still shows up at church... like what??? but still, more people getting to know about the church of Christ!

So this week was sooooo slow haha. only because everyone we're teaching told us they didn't want to hear more, or they aren't progressing so we cut them all from our list of people we are teaching... its been rough. we're struggling a lot to find new people to teach, and who will really progress and stuff like that. But we're trying everything we can! also we were dying this week. I think we stayed at home 2 days this week because Sister Castro is having looots of pain in her legs and has a hard time walking... and then I have problems with my ear, which doesn't prevent us from working but it still sucks haha. 

This week I've been learning how much I really love studying the scriptures and really being able to see my questions be answered in such simple ways. The scriptures are sooooo awesome!! did y'all know that?? I know with every fiber of my being that the scriptures are the words of God. That He has given us sooo many wonderful books to learn and grow closer to Him and His Son! I am so blessed and so grateful for this opportunity to learn and grow for myself here on the mission. 

Love you all so much!!!

Com amor,
Sister Moss

A Chuva Nunca Vai Parar!!

Beleza, primeiramente obrigada à todos por seu amor esta semana!! Meu aniversário foi perfeito!!! Semana foi difícil mas em total foi muito legal! A semana inteira estava chovendo, literalmente todas as dias. ugh imagine trabalhando e fazendo contatos na chuva. É basicamente impossível! Ninguém estava na rua!!! contatos foi difícil demais!! e eu não sei como mas ninguém tava na rua mas também ninguém tava em casa (ou eles estavam ignorando a gente), sei não vchh. Mas conseguimos!!

Corremos atrás nossa padrão basicamente ontém e sábado, mas conseguimos fechar quase tudo. infelizmente, nossa batismo caiu por esta semana mas vai dar certo por semana que vem!! alem disso não muito aconteceu! Tomamos muitos banhos de chuva, fiquei doente mas tudo bem né? Faz parte da missão! 

Estou amando esta área e minha companheira! Bora batizaar!!! 

com amor,

Google Translate version of this week's letter... 

Beauty, first thank you all for your love this week !! My birthday was perfect !!! Week was hard but in total it was really cool! The whole week was raining, literally every day. ugh imagine working and making contacts in the rain. It's basically impossible! No one was on the street !!! contacts was hard too !! and I do not know how but nobody was on the street but nobody was home (or they were ignoring us), I know not vchh. But we got it !!

We ran our pattern basically onttem and saturday, but we managed to close almost everything. unfortunately, our baptism has fallen for this week but will work out next week !! besides that not much happened! We took lots of rain showers, I got sick but that's okay, huh? It's part of the mission!

Melhorando cada vez mais!! Eu espero!

Então acho que semanas passados eu estava falando sobre alguns dificuldades que temos.. para ensinar pessoas na casa delas, encontrar pessoas boas na rua e levar as pessoas para igreja. Longa historia bem breve, a gente fez muitos metas para melhorar e levar pessoas para igreja, trabalhamos com força esta semana para cumprir nossas metas com esperança a levar nossas pesquisadores na igreja. batemos todas de nossas metas e no domingo ainda ninguém foi por igreja.... não sei por que estamos com muito dificuldade de levar pessoas na igreja mas estamos tentando muito falar a importância de ir na igreja. Estamos melhorando com nossas metas, trabalhando juntas e realmente ajudando as pessoas entender a importância destas coisas.

esta transferência foi muito dificil por mim mas aprendi bastante!! e espero que eu consigo colocar essas coisas em pratica por o resto de minha missão! vai dar certo! mas foi uma transferência que nunca vou esquecer!!! Amo muito sister Sosa e estou muito imensamente grata por ela! 

no sábado tinha a oportunidade de trabalhar mais uma vez com minha mãe, antes ela vai embora para casa! mano foi muito muito bom!!! a gente ensinou uma família muito muito boa!! cara foi o melhor lição que já tinha em minha missão! ela ensina com muito poder mas também é muito divertida quando ela está ensinando. cara eu quero ensinar como ela um dia, sério. estou muito muito grata que ela é minha mãe e que eu tinha muitos oportunidades de aprender dela! amo amo amo ela, estou muito triste que ela está indo embora... 

mas eu sei com todo meu coração que mesmo que estou com muitos dificuldades estou aprendendo as coisas que eu preciso. estou melhorando por me mesmo todos os dias.. pelo menos eu espero! sei que esta é a igreja de cristo, não tenho nenhuma duvida sobre isso. ele é nosso Salvador, e ele nos ama bastante! eu amo minha missão e meu oportunidade de servir meu Deus e meu Salvador Jesus Cristo!! 

amo muito vocês!!!

English Translation...

So I guess last week I was talking about some of the difficulties we have ... to teach people in their house, find good people on the street and take people to church. Long story short, we made many goals to improve and take people to church, we worked hard this week to fulfill our goals with hope to take our investigators to church. we hit all of our goals and on Sunday no one went to church .... I do not know why we are having a hard time taking people to church but we are trying very hard to talk about the importance of going to church. We are improving with our goals, working together and really helping people understand the importance of these things.

This transfer was very difficult for me but I learned a lot !! and hopefully I can put these things into practice for the rest of my mission! it will work! but it was a transfer I will never forget !!! I love sister Sosa very much, and I am immensely grateful for her!
on Saturday I had the opportunity to work again with my (mission) mom (sis.udagawa) before she goes home! guys it was very very good !!! we taught a super awesome family of like 10 people!! Dude, that was the best lesson I have ever had on my mission! <Sister Udagawa> teaches with a lot of power but is also very funny when she is teaching. Dude, I want to teach like her one day, seriously. I am very grateful that she is my mom and that I had many opportunities to learn from her! I love her, I love her, I'm very sad that she's leaving ...
but I know with all my heart that even though I'm lots of difficulties, I'm learning the things I need. I'm getting better every day .. at least I hope! I know this is the church of Christ, I have no doubt about it. he is our Savior, and he loves us! I love my mission and my opportunity to serve my God and my Savior Jesus Christ !!

love you all!!!

Sister Moss
