WOW! Happy Mother´s Day, Mom!! And of course all of my other favorite Mom´s too!! Yesterday, we taught primary again (lol joy), and we tried to teach them “Love is Spoken Here” to sing for all of the moms in Relief Society. Everyone got stage fright all at once so it turned in to a duet with my companion and I (HAHA). Speaking of my companheira, I LOVE my new companion, Sister C. Silva. She is from Brasilia, and we are best friends! It is actually really funny because when we both were assigned to inland areas, we always stayed at the same house when we had mission conferences in Fortaleza, and we always talked about how fun it would be to be companions. Dream come true!

So in the last two weeks some of my favorite teenagers were baptized! I love teaching teenagers because you can say stuff like “are you excited to receive the holy ghost?!” and they´ll say “I don´t know, yeah I guess”, but you know they are actually excited. #blessed But seriously, they are awesome. I´m so proud of their courage, and amazed by their testimonies!! We found Mateus one day when we were buying churros from his dad (literal gainz), and Andreia and Andressa are friends of Pedro Vitor/Pedro Henrique (recent converts), but we found them playing volleyball in the street. So I basically I need to eat more churros and play more volleyball? I love that everything happens for a reason!

I got to skype my family yesterday, and it feels so weird that I can´t do it again today! I miss them a lot, but I want to give lots of shout outs to my mom! A lot of things come out of my mouth sometimes, and I think afterwards “that is exactly what my mom would say”, and as trippy as it is, I`m so thankful because It means that I´m starting to turn in to a person like her. If everyone could have the love, charity, and zest for life that my mom has, the world would be a BEAUTIFUL place.

Give your moms lots of hugs, and if you see my mom, give her a hug too!

Love,

SISTA MOON

This was the funniest thing of today's P-day.  I might be insta famous in Fortaleza now because I got to pick the winner of a Mother's Day give away & it was filmed.  Lolz I got super excited for her and started yelling "congrats, Luzia!!! you won, you won!!!

 We love wind and crowded buses
