Happy Memorial Day! I love this holiday! I hope you guys are doing
something really fun this weekend! I know I am:) I'm currently writing
this email on Sunday night, just waiting for the crazy day we have
planned for tomorrow:) it is my last pday so we are from a live it up.
We are going bowling and going to get food and we are having a picnic
and going shopping and ahhhhh! I'm just so excited:) the time is going
so fast though. I pray that it will slow itself just a little bit but
it won't.

This week has been quite the adventure. I will just highlight a few
events of this week. I think one of the more pressing memories of the
week was cleaning up poo from all the baptismal clothing. Grossest day
of mah life. Someone had decided to stick poop like in every crevice
of the dryer and put every piece of baptismal clothes through. It was
a messy situation. It was pretty sick.
Our investigator had her baptismal interview today and she is so ready. :) I am so excited!! She is so wonderful:) we had a meet the Mormons night and our other investigators came!! Dude.I love that girl. Seeing her make it to baptism will be the greatest thing in the world. I just pray that someday she will understand. :)
sorry this is the most boring letter in the world, golly.

Today is my get ready for Australia Day:) I am excoted:) sister Gomez got her visa too so I won't be alone :,) tears of joy!! President Taggart actually gave me a blessing on Tuesday and
Part of the blessing he gave is that I wouldn't have to travel alone
and boom, by Wednesday sister Gomez had a visa. Best day ever. Another part of my blessing was that my family would be protected by guardian angels and that my family who has passed on would protect you and aid you especially in these next 15 months. I know this is true. I know how well you are being watched over and how you are being taken such good care of. I love you guys!
here are some pictures from the week:)
1. I was given this dress by a little family who I just adore. It's
kinda reminds me of a wedding dress and I feel like I should elope or
something when I wear it, but I wear it anyways because I love them so
much, and it makes me feel like a princess:)

2.My first tortilla. Basically a superstar Mexican. I've officially
been adopted by the culture. Trust me. My initiation was done by a
very reliable source;)
3.Shawarma. It's this Lebanonise  food that they eat in the avengers,
basically iron man status.
5. Yeah....

Hello hello:)
How are you guys today?  I hope they are all super bombastic.


This week has been miraculous. Seriously. God just loves his children
so much and it's my job to tell them and it's just super cool. We have
someone on date to be baptized! She is getting May 31st
baptizedt!!( that's right! The day before I leave!) if all
goes well the other girl we have been teaching will be baptized on this day too!
 We took her on a  temple tour this last week, which was so awesome. It
was awesome. Holy cow! Do we have an awesome weekend coming up or what?!
 The family we have been praying for just fell into our
lap this week. Holy cow. They are so cool! We didn't have to commit
them to anything. They just asked if they could come to church and
have us over and bam! It's seriously awesome!!

Something we do every week is we go to this awesome soup kitchen
called Mary's kitchen and feed the homeless. It's basically like
living my orphan dream weekly. It's amazing. I love it. We get to meet
so many just awesome people!

We had zone conference this week. I LOVE ZONE CONFERENCE! It just
kinda boosts you up and makes you feel like you can conquer the world.
A quote that I feel like is very applicable to the real world is "if
you can believe it in your head, and feel it in your heart, you can
make it happen." I love it. You guys can do hard things!!!

I was super sick yesterday. I'm pretty sure I had the stomach flu and
it was lame, but sister zemp just cuddled me and told me stories. It was lovely;)

I'd like to leave you with a little Anaheim Mission Grammar Lesson.

"Sick missionary"-  slightly disobedient missionary.
"Will you be coming in Pross" missionary clothes
"That's totes Apos."- real disobedience
"Too trunky for words" -homesick
"Zone Lord"
"District dictator"
"Bye Felicia!"

Hahaha anyways. Hope you are all doing awesome, I love you to the moon and back!

Sometimes they just put super random canoes in parking garage

We went on a way fun scavenger hunt today:) pictured isme,zemp,Davis,moea'i ,and sister Taggart

               

Sometimes you get the stomach flu and your companion cuddles you

and tells you stories;

It's Time!

  Well everybody! The time has come! It's pretty bitter sweet to be
honest. I have loved my time here in Anaheim. I feel so absolutely
blessed to have been sent here for the short 3 months I've gotten, but
I guess it's on to the next! Australia here I come:)!

This week we did awesome and we are just thriving here:) a lot
of time success isn't measured:) you can never measure how much work
you do, or how exactly obedient you are, you can never measure the
love you give, or the amount of time you saw the hand of God in your
life as a missionary. :) I'm loving it.
Love Sister Moon

Chelsea shared lots of fun things with us on are Skype visit Sunday but my favorite thing was when she sang to us and then left us with a word of prayer. It felt like we were together kneeling in our family circle.  Thanks to all writing her. 
She would be so excited to get to Sydney Australia and have mail waiting for her. She is excited to get to Australia,but leaving California and this wonderfu mission is going to be very hard for her. It will bring a new kind of homesickness. She will become just as attached to these people and missionaries I am sure but your love and thoughts will really help. 

Her mission address is

This week didn't get a much of a letter but some fun pictures. She Loves the Anaheim, California Mission.  She is starting to worry about how sad she will be when her visa comes and she has to leave.  She has said  said that she would be happy staying right were she is. They are teaching a girl that is close to baptism and she loves doing splits with the Young woman in the area.  She is so happy and being blessed. Thanks for supporting her!

Hey everyone:) it's been an awesome week as usual:) all sorts of fun going down!
1 and 2 black star falls:) so fun! There wasn't a lot of water....
Like none! But! It's a really good hike!
3) tracting is real fun;)
4) my first Filipino party:)
5) still a gangster obviously

Hahaha I love you all and I feel your prayers:) have a killer week!

Current place: ghetto park
Current feeling: my white porcelain skin burning off because my
companion is tanning;)
Current craving: pie.... I love pie.
Hey hey party people! I'm doing so well! This place couldn't be any
better!
 We work so hard and someday soon i know we will see some crazy
amazing results. We started teaching a a brother and sister from the 
middle east.  We talk to the sister daily she is so funny.
You know your an Anaheim missionary when.... You can't remember which
cultures kiss you where, when they hug you and it's always a big
surprise.
You know your an Anaheim missionary when you can speak fluent Spanish
to order food from the best Mexican restaurants in town but, when you
have to speak Spanish when tracting the only thing you remember is
como se llama? And soy misionara;)
You know you're an Anaheim missionary when the curfew alarm is the
fireworks and it sounds like you are in a war zone.
 It's been pretty amazing weather wise but,  I must say
that my Las Vegas blood never thickened because it will be 70 degrees
and I'll complain about the cold;) it's bad.. Hahaha the food here is
to die for and the people are great. :) my companion is one of my
greatest friends and I just love being a missionary! Here are a few
pictures for the week! I hope ya'll are having fun in all your
endeavors! Don't be afraid to shoot me a few sentences and pictures of
all your crazy adventures! You know how much I love pictures and they
are even better when those I love are in them;) hehehe. I love you
cool cats!"enjoying" this experience.I love California. It's really fun. We get all sorts of funny

 situations goin down here! Haha
1) selfies for days;)
2)FISH TACOS ARE LIFEEEEE!
3) my favorite crazy lady in this world!
4) this car fixing place is like being in Rigby... Book of Mormons everywhere...
5) I held a snake... In case you're wondering I'm not exactly
6) these lion things are allllll over California.... I don't know why.
But I always fist bump them when I pass by.

Love Ya All,
Sister Moon

Hola from Mi llama Hermana Luna;)

Hey guys! It's been a crazy week! I'm not even sure what all happened
because it all just goes by in a blur. My favorite part about
California is that we teach like 100 different cultures:) it's so fun!
This week alone we taught people from Palestine, Mexico, Guatemala,
Iraq, Samoa, New Zealand and I know a really fun family from Australia
too! It's super fun and I sing I am a child of God in Spanish quite
often to people who only speak Spanish! I love it! We taught 31 lessons
this week!! Just to give you an idea of how much that is, the standard
of excellence for our mission is 15 a week and that's a pretty good
stretch so we kinda were running like mad! It was awesome! ! 
  
So this is the funny, embarrassing story of the week! So there was a
baptism this week. It was real fun and we sang and it was
awesommmmmme! We sounded real good and the spirit was just there! It
was so cool! But.... I was asked to play the piano... And they didn't
let me pick the hymns so me and sis got up there and she played right
hand and I played left and it sounded horrible! Like I can't even tell
you how bad! But it was just hilarious! I've never seen president
laugh so hard! He just could not keep a straight face the rest of the
night. It was quite the show! It was so funny! Something I love about
California is no one plays the piano either, so they just laugh
with you instead of being mean to you;) but we did get quite the teasing
after the fact! The bishop proceeded to give an analogy on team work
sometimes failing;) it was crazy! But all I'm saying is.... You
butcher it the first time, you never get asked to do it again.....
Holla! Hahaha

A ton of visa waiters got to go! Im one of the only ones left... So
I'll get to go soon im hoping:) I love this mission though! There is
so much here that I know I would never get on Australia so Im glad I
get to be here:) we are around other missionaries all the time and I
love it!! I have so many friends!! I love them! They are just my
buddies:)
Anyways! I'm doing well and I'm loving life! Being a missionary is
real cool!
here are

Here are some pictures of my crazy self;) Im still Chelsea. I still think I'm funny.I'm still wrong;) have a fabulous week! 

Love Sister Moon

It was byo cup day at 711! Best day of my life! Hahaha

It's a hard knock life ... :)

It,s a hard knock life....I'm puny eh? Hahahaha it's been such a long time since I've written I don't even know what to write about! Hahahaha but it's been a good little bit!
California has the best Mexican food in the world. We eat a lot of
it:) so I'm happy:) we found some cool people this week and we are
expecting miracles and success. Im getting better at the whole
rejection thing. I don't come close to tears too often;) we do a lot
of service and it's great! It feels so nice to be out of proselyting
clothes and getting a little dirty! :) I love the people here:) they
are so funny! And slightly crazy! Hahaha I love my Samoans! I want to
be Samoan more than anything:) hahah they are so beautiful and so
sweet! It makes me even more excited to get to Australia someday so I
can be around that culture constantly. I'm still really excited
that I get to be here:) I spent a whole day in the OC sheriffs office. Working
on my visa stuff #straightupthug #gangsterlife #whatsittoya;) Something that is hard to
get used to as a missionary is the CONSTANT gaze of eyes on you. We
are the weirdos people people watch;) that was difficult for me to get
used to. It made me feel so uncomfortable! But I've decided that is
more like they look at me cause I'm a SUPER STAR! Holla;) hahahahahaha
I urge you all to watch the Mormon message true Christianity :)
sitting in church makes you as much of a Christian as sitting in a
garage makes you a car! What are you doing while your not going to
church? It's a good one! Have a fun conference weekend! And have fun
on Easter! I will miss spending this fun holiday with you all:) I love
you!
Love,
Sister Moon

 Chelsea got to go to the Temple this week. She said that it was simplisticly beautiful.
