Sister's got Swag

Hey so just btw Australia beat Brazil in the world cup today... No big deal. Who am I kidding? Its a huge deal! ;) this week has been awesome. We met some crazy people and last night in the last hour of the week we passed out like 70 cards on a train because we just need to find people so badly! We've met so many people this week and we have had more opportunities to teach than usual:) This truly is the Lords work. Miracles happen each day,and sometimes those miracles are tiny but so important.
  So this week we got so sick. We got a horrible cold and we weren't able to leave our apartment for like 3 days straight. It was awful. But we are doing much better. we are both still coughing like crazy but its all good.:)  we are doing much better. We saw some real interesting people this week. I almost got kissed this week. Well... I did get kissed, but i managed to avoid the lips. I told this little old Greek man that i loved him and oh boy it all went down hill from there. he grabbed my face and oh my heck I've never had to do a head turn so so hard in my life. Phew. We also met this crazy awesome surfer dude named Graham. He is like 65 and he has this MASSIVE beard. He surfs, and snowboards, and sand-boards, with this really cool kite thing. Look it up. its nuts. he also never wears shoes. hes pretty rad. He says god doesn't exist because if he asks god to make a grain of sand float the sand still drops.so the whole gospel teaching is kind of hard. but he has all these crazy philosophies and i love the man. The Lord protects us so much. I cant even believe the situations we are kept from sometimes. I definitely feel your prayers, i hope you feel mine. I love you all so much:) 
Love,
Sister Moon
P.S. Im gonna be the weirdest return missionary. I can already feel it.... So prepare yourselfs. love you:)

This week has been wonderful! Australia is beautiful!:) The work is hard but we are up for the challenge! I'm in an Area called Wollongong with my companion Sister Stott! We knew each other at university and shes from Idaho Falls! Its been great! Everyone thinks I have a thick accent and i can barely understand what anybody says but soon enough! I miss you all terribly and hope you are doing well!

Hey Y'all:) It's week two and still no kangaroo. I hope you are all having a wonderful day (night for most of you) It been a beautiful week here is little GIGANTIC Wollongong:) Nothing too crazy to report but I'm loving this crazy place. My ward is great and we even get a few chances to teach during the week. I love you all and hope life is treating you well:)
This week has been quite eventful. We had zone training which here in this GIGANTIC mission is a pretty big deal actually because our zone covers a ton of land. Sister Nelson is in my zone and boy it was so good to see her! I love that little child so much:) we had zone p-day Friday and we went to the beach and played rugby and collected shells and oh my heck it was so fun! I wish we could see other missionaries more often, that's something I really miss about California, but its fun to see other missionaries 2 times a transfer I guess! It makes it special. Also, the more time I spend on the beach, the more I realize that I'm just a mermaid out of water. Truth. I love it;) we have a few investigators. Thomas is at the uni and he's pretty keen. he has had a few baptism dates and really wants to be baptized but he is Chinese and his parents approval is pretty key in his like and respect and honor are so important and his parents just wont let it happen. we pray and pray for soften hearts though. We have an Investigator named Amy who is awesome as well. Shes getting baptized in 3 weeks hopefully with her daughter Paige.  The people get easier and easier to love, and the accent is starting to sound beautiful, even if the person with the accent is swearing at you, it just sounds better! the ward is my favorite. I've already grown attached to my favorite family(the Stewarts) and we spend a lot of meals there! holy I'm so scared I will be fat by the end of this mission thing, Australians do not take food lightly. hehe.  its been a hard hard adjustment but I'm starting to like it more, a lot of fasting and prayer has happened the past couple of weeks. I'm happy though. Smiles and smiles:) Ill send y'all a real letter soon!
 Keep smiling!
Love, Sister Moon
