#we KNOW Nadja is the primary love of his life (and he hers) and i don't think anything will ever change that

[cookinguptales]

Y’know, I think one of the most refreshing things for me in WWDITS s4 has been the categorical refusal to turn Nadja into a mommy. It would have been so, so easy to do it and I think most shows would’ve.

I mean, how many times have we seen it, both IRL and on tv? A baby shows up, someone needs to take care of it, the only woman around goes into mommy mode because ~that’s just what women do~ and it’s what they’re expected to do. I was fully expecting Laszlo to adopt Baby Colin and for Nadja to end up coparenting with him. She’s his wife, after all.

But then that absolutely did not happen. If anything, I think I’d go so far as to say that she’s the least maternal and/or paternal person in the building. It’s not that she hates children or anything; she’s just physically incapable of telling one apart from a raccoon. Which is also nice. Some writers are so bad at writing women with complex desires that any woman who doesn’t want to be a mother is automatically turned into some unfair “baby-hating harpy” stereotype.

Laszlo has taken this child under his wing and loves him, even if he’s not always the best father. Guillermo also loves Colin, and though he’s not his father, he’s probably the most paternal (and probably also maternal) out of any of the people there. (And I feel like they’re also breaking down stereotypes about what it means to be paternal vs. maternal but that’s a whole separate essay.) Nandor is at least willing to hang out with the boy and has displayed highly paternal instincts in previous episodes.  But literally Nadja’s only interest in Baby Colin is how she can make money off of him, and that’s so valid. lmao

It’s especially nice because Nadja clearly does value family. It seems to be one of her primary drives, in fact. She brings up her family more than any other character, even though they’ve all been dead for hundreds of years, she’s more than willing to defend her (again, deceased) family’s honor, and it’s what finally started to break down barriers between her and Guillermo. Nadja very much values family. She just does not want to be a mother.

She does not want Guillermo to see her as a mother figure. She wants no part in parenting Baby Colin. She displays the maternal instincts of your average old boot. Nadja is not a mommy. 

And the show never once judges her for that.

(I mean, Guillermo might, but he has his own issues. lmao)

There has never been an episode where her not caring for Colin has upset him. There has never been an episode where he’s been harmed because she’s not providing him with affection. The narrative has never once punished her for her total disinterest in the care and raising of the creature that crawled out of the body of their dead friend. There has never been any expectation that she’d take care of Colin.

The closest we’ve gotten to that was probably Guillermo complaining that none of the vampires know anything about Colin and that it’s fallen solely on him, the “nanny”, to care for him. But that seemed like an equal indictment of all the vampires and seemed kind of wrapped up in Guillermo’s own abandonment issues.

What I’m getting at here is that Nadja has never been expected to put in more work with Colin because of her gender or because her husband was the person who decided to adopt the Colin child. She’s never been expected to parent him, she’s never been expected to be maternal towards him, she’s never been expected to shift around her life plans for him. She’s just happily embezzling from her own nightclub like the insane vampiric boss she is.

And boyyyyy I love that for her. It’s so rare and so refreshing and I love this show so much.

#she and guillermo are BOTH going full gaslight gatekeep girlboss this season #and I love that for them both lmao #wwdits #wwdits s4 spoilers #nadja of antipaxos #wwdits meta

[tinylilvalery]

I wish more people knew it was okay to cross ship Laszlo in the WWDITS fandom.

Laszlo/Nadja = flawless! Laszlo/Colin = amazing! Laszlo/Sean = brilliant! Laszlo/Guillermo = fuck yes! Laszlo/Nandor = fantastic!

Like dude, neither Laszlo or Nadja are monogamous. They both fuck around. The beauty of them is you don't just have to ship them with each other.

#wwdits #this isn't me whining about the fandom #i jus think people see the main ships of the fandom #and then they feel guilty or idk scared to talk about any other ships that have #like dawg this is a house of pansexual vampires and their gay bodyguard #none of who are in exclusive monogamous relationships #have some fun w it #ship everyone w everyone #ESPECIALLY Laszlo #the dude lives to fuck and suck as he says so himself #we KNOW Nadja is the primary love of his life (and he hers) and i don't think anything will ever change that #but it doesn't mean they can't love other people too #like Nadja and Gregor #cmon now #Laszlin #laszlo cravensworth #Colin Robinson #this is me trying to encourage people

day 10 - reverse crush

my heart’s in overdrive, and, you’re behind the steering wheel.

tumblr month: @auyeahaugust

links: ao3 | ff.net

EVERYONE expects his answer to be Ladybug.

Because it's always Ladybug. The savior of Paris. The one who can undo all the damage. The one who always brings hope wherever she goes. The face of the superhero movement. (One can argue that Chat Noir is equally as important, and he definitely believes it to be true, but the question, in the end, is who his superhero crush is— and as far as Adrien's concerned, he can't have a crush on himself.

Though the apparent adrichat shippers beg to differ.)

In any case, Ladybug's not the answer.

Only one girl has his heart, really, and it's by sheer luck that she happens to be a superhero— and an even bigger bout of luck when he finds out about it. So the answer flows out of his tongue without so much as a thought:

"Multimouse."

Nadja Chamack is, understandably, caught off-guard. (In reality, she had come into this interview hoping to find some truth to the fact that two of Paris' biggest idols were in love with each other)— but this seemed to be a lot more interesting.

"She's… the one who helped Chat Noir and Ladybug with Kwamibuster, right?"

"Yeah!" Adrien's eyes almost sparkle as he talks about her. "She's the only reason why we— all of Paris, I mean, managed to defeat her then! Ladybug and Chat Noir would've been in real trouble if she wasn't there to save the day. And she's so cool like Multimouse has the power to become tiny, and when she used her power it was so adorable and amazing and wonderful—!"

"A Multimouse fanboy, then?" Nadja asks, an amused smile playing on her face. "I'm sure a lot of our viewers are surprised. They, and even I thought you'd choose Ladybug. What makes Multimouse so unique?"

Because it's her. Because it's the girl he's so desparately in love with. Because it's Marinette Dupain-Cheng.

(Not like he can say that, of course.)

"I do love Ladybug," Adrien begins. "She's a hero and I look up to her sense of duty and professionalism in saving Paris." Then, a pause. "But I admire Ma—Multimouse. She was thrown into the superhero role so suddenly, in a situation as high-stakes as back then, and managed to do perfectly." He looks down and smiles. "And… she's cute."

(Oops, now that wasn't meant to slip out.)

Nadja's look of victory at receiving— and being responsible for breaking the news of Adrien Agreste's Crush is clear. "Well, she does sound like quite a hero when you describe her like that. It's a shame that she hasn't showed up so much."

"You're right," Adrien mutters, and the disappointment in his tone is evident. "But I trust in Ladybug… and Chat Noir's judgment. If they need her, then she'll appear again."

"For the sake of your crush, let's hope so!"

Adrien splutters. "Wait, Ms. Chamack, this isn't a crush, it's just admiration from a purely superhero-civilian perspective…"

She turns to the video camera. "Young love is sweet, isn't it? For Adrien, let's all wish that Multimouse shows up again soon! Ladybug and Chat Noir, maybe you'd be interested in lending a hand?"

The show comes to a close with Adrien beet-red and almost desparately coveting her face.

.

.

Marinette is exhausted.

Which is saying a lot, because she's already exhausted on a regular day— from balancing her studies, being a class representative, fashion designing, helping at the bakery, and of course, being Ladybug, but this brought everything to an entirely new level.

Because now, not only did she have to run around Paris in one full-body suit, but with Adrien's apparent declaration of love on national television— and multiple angrily-worded 'why do you hate love / Multimouse / Adrien Agreste' letters to her superhero persona after— Marinette was now made to run around using two.

Ladybug with an akuma, Multimouse when patrolling. And also Ladybug when patrolling. And sometimes Multimouse with an akuma.

Just to keep everyone in Paris happy. (And non-suspicious, really.)

All because of that damned interview.

She has to stop herself from yelling a string of not-so-kind words into the sky.

Marinette likes Adrien. She really does.

He's a good friend, and after that whole misunderstanding with Chloé and the gum, basically cemented himself as an all-around good person. He's given her more homework help, fashion advice, and general pep talks than she could ever count.

But Marinette doesn't like like him.

(And maybe she would, in an alternate universe— he's kind, sweet, handsome, and all of Paris is quite frankly in love with him, but her heart belongs completely to someone else.)

So a sudden reveal that he has a crush on her superhero persona… and not even her primary one, doesn't really bother her as much as it could.

Besides, as far as she was concerned, Adrien had never interacted with Multimouse. She wonders how he could've gotten all those thoughts about her in his head, but decides it's just one of his stranger quirks and leaves it aside.

It's probably infatuation with a superhero. Nothing new, really. (She's experienced fans claiming they 'loved' her when all they truly felt was admiration. Nothing less, and honestly, nothing more.)

Marinette knows what true love is.

She knows it so clearly that when it comes jumping from the buildings, rooftop to rooftop, her heart threatens to beat out of her chest and follow him.

He lands on the empty balcony with ease.

"Why so glum, bugaboo?" Adrien asks. "You look exhausted. Didn't get enough rest last night?"

Marinette wants to scream. They're supposed to be patrolling tonight; alternating between Ladybug and Chat Noir, then Multimouse and Chat Noir, then Ladybug and Multimouse— a plan which, on paper, sounds perfect.

But in this case, Marinette's both, she's Ladybug and Multimouse (and herself at every other point of the day), and therefore hasn't had any sleep at all.

It's tiring, but seeing Chat Noir, she finds, makes her feel a lot better.

"Had some things to do… in the real world," she mumbles instead, lazily leaning upon the railing. "How was it yesterday?" Marinette asks, opting to change topics. "Multimouse said you're working well together."

Chat Noir almost beams when the words escape her mouth.

(Marinette vaguely wonders if it's possible to be jealous of herself.)

"Really?" He asks, eyes bright. "She said that? I've honestly been so worried about whether or not I've been making her uncomfortable… she doesn't talk a lot, which I think is a shame, because I'm sure she has a ton of interesting stories…"

"Hey," Marinette stops him. "Remember that Multimouse has to keep her identity secret. She can't risk giving any information that might lead back to her civilian self. She's new to this, so it's only right that she's more careful than we are."

It's strange, talking about herself like this.

"You're right," he sighs, before turning to her. "Hey… can I tell you a secret?"

Marinette frowns. What could this be?

"I actually know who Multimouse is," he finally confesses. "I know it's Marinette."

Well, she already knew that. She was the one responsible for him making that realization, after all.

But what gets her is how comfortable he is saying her name— when really, all he should know is Ladybug and Multimouse.

"So you saw her detransform, huh?" Marinette asks, looking up to the sky. "I hope you'll keep it secret."

"Of course I will!" Chat Noir protests, then takes a deep breath. "I'm glad you trusted her. She's a good person."

Now how does he know that?

"I mean—," he stumbles over his words. "From what I've heard! From her friends… and online posts… and stuff… I've definitely never met her before!"

Liar.

Why is he so terrible at lying?

Because that's something she knows now. That Chat Noir knows her. That he knows Marinette. So to some extent, she knows him.

Which means that there's a very large possibility that Marinette has spoken to Chat Noir. That Marinette has interacted with Chat Noir. That Marinette is maybe even friends with Chat Noir. And that for all her talk about being in love with him, she doesn't recognize him at all.

"... Ladybug?"

"How do you know Marinette?"

The question escapes her tongue before she can stop it. It's a dangerous question, one that can ruin their secret identities completely, but she can't help doing so.

She needs to know.

He's evidently panicking. Marinette watches him with a steady gaze, even though she's all but in complete chaos on the inside.

"I'm kinda maybe in love with her."

Well.

She wasn't expecting that at all.

"You… love…," the words aren't registering, and she's struggling to get a single word out.

He sighs. "Yeah, cat's out of the bag now? I know her a bit in real life. She's just so kind and talented and cute… it's impossible not to fall in love with her. That's why I was so excited when you started recruiting Multimouse again— and why I've been so insistent on having her on patrols with me."

Wait.

"But it's okay! I'll never tell her that we actually know each other. Cat's honour!" Chat Noir smiles at her, acting as if there was nothing at all wrong in the world. "And don't worry, everyone I know has or had a crush on Marinette at some point. I'm one-in-a-million, so I don't think this'll narrow your search on me by that much…," he begins, "as long as you don't look."

Except she's looking. Even against her will, Marinette's mind speeds through everyone she knows that has a similar build to his.

Blonde hair, green eyes, about her size…

Only one person fits that bill.

The word escapes her mouth before she can stop it.

"Adrien?"

"... okay, so maybe I messed up."

"So you're the reason I haven't been sleeping?"

"Well I mean, I'm flattered…"

Marinette gets the situation she's in quickly. Adrien, however, takes a little bit longer.

"I meant for patrolling you absolute zero-braincelled—

"Patrolling? Ladybug, what do you mean…"

"Hhh. Think about it for a second."

"Ladybug…"

"You can do it."

"… you're Multimouse?"

"And…"

"And that means…"

"Come on now."

.

.

"Marinette?!"

              Sick Again!

Posted: 18 May 2018 12:38 PM PDT

Ok so this week I was sick AGAIN!!!! I don't know what's happening with my body ahah but everything will be alright! With transfers and everything it was super crazy this week! So as it happens to all of us, Sister L. Gui went home last week... Man its always so sad to say goodbye to such amazing people! I miss her so much already but I know that I will see her again soon and that we'll keep in contact! My new companion is Sister Feitosa and she's from São Paulo, São Carlos! She has one year on the mission and is crazy crazy crazy! Love her tons! Super super excited to work along side her this transfer, I know we'll see tons of miracles continue to happen here in Panatis!

  Beyond being sick we didn't do a whole lot. We left to work just enough to teach and help Diomédis (the dad/husband of the 2 that got baptized last week). Everything worked out perfect and he too was baptized this week! Man it's been such a blessing teaching them all! Their story is crazy and really just proves how much God really prepares people for just the right moment! They've been in contact with the missionaries for 2 years now, and it took their daughter to leave on her mission for them to realize that this is something they need in their whole family! Its a golden family! I feel so beyond blessed to have gotten to know them and love them! They're my family here, and don't want to leave them! 

  Love you guys so so much! 

Sister Moss 

    Ok, então esta semana eu estava doente novamente !!!! Eu não sei o que está acontecendo com meu corpo ahah mas tudo ficará bem! Com transferências e tudo foi super louco esta semana! Então, como acontece com todos nós, a Sister L. Gui foi para casa na semana passada ... Cara, é sempre tão triste dizer adeus a pessoas tão incríveis! Eu já sinto muita falta dela, mas sei que a verei em breve e que manteremos contato! Minha nova companheira é a Sister Feitosa e ela é de São Paulo, São Carlos! Ela tem um ano na missão e é doida doida doida! A amo com força! Super super animado para trabalhar ao lado dela esta transferência, eu sei que vamos ver milhões de milagres continuam a acontecer aqui em Panatis!

  Além de estar doente nós não fizemos muito. Nós saímos para trabalhar o suficiente para ensinar e ajudar Diomédis (o pai / marido dos 2 que foram batizados na semana passada). Tudo deu certo e ele também foi batizado esta semana! Cara, tem sido uma bênção ensinar todos eles! Sua história é louca e realmente prova o quanto Deus realmente prepara as pessoas para o momento certo! Eles estão em contato com os missionários há 2 anos, e foi por causa de sua filha para saindo pela missão para eles perceberem que isso é algo que eles precisam em toda a sua família! É uma família de ouro! Eu me sinto tão abençoado por ter chegado a conhecê-los e amá-los! Eles são minha família aqui, e não querem deixá-los!

  Amo muito vocês!

      Batismos!

Hey everyone! so this week was just full of miracles!! Here in Brazil and also back home!! So happy to have the kiddos officially a part of the family! And to have "seen" them make the greatest decision to be baptized on Saturday!! so so happy I had the chance to talk to them a bit on their very very special day!! And yesterday to top everything off, we ended the transfer with 3 baptisms!!! Man I've never felt the spirit so strongly as I did at these baptisms! It was incredible!

  So first off we had the baptism for Louise, an 11 year old genius!! Her mom was less active but is starting to go back to church, and brought her to church for the first time 2 weeks ago! Guys she is so so perfect!! we bonded so quickly with her and her mom, we love them so so much!! So when I say she's a genius I'm not lying. She speaks 4 languages and basically taught the lessons to us! It was so awesome! She was so ready and willing to follow the example of our Savior Jesus Christ and I know that through her, her mom will stay active and her little sister will one day be baptized too! The baptism was awesome! The girls in the Primary sang A Child's Prayer for her and made a cake for her! So freaking cute! It was her moment, she just loved it!! 

                       Then after lunch we went back to the church to have the other 2 baptisms! Mother and daughter, Nadja and Amanda! so this story is pretty crazy! Its been about 2 years that Nayla (the oldest daughter) was baptized. Then her sister Pamela, then their brother Gabriel. Within the last 2 years, Nadja wouldn't allow any of the missionaries teach her (we found this out this week). She wanted nothing to do with the church and to be honest was very upset that her children had joined. She was very against all of it. About 2 weeks ago Nayla left for her mission!!! When she left Nadja started coming to church with the rest of her kids. And had that awesome Sunday with President Colleoni talking with her and needless to say she agreed to take the lessons and to be baptized! We were so so excited!! Its amazing how God prepares the people who are really ready! We got to her house to teach her and the asked her youngest daughter if she wanted to be baptized with her mom! She said yes and we started teaching them! Amanda is also very very smart! She pretty much taught everything too! And when we were teaching about the Restoration Nadja asked Amanda why she wanted to be baptized and little Amanda said "because I know the book of Mormon is true"! man i nearly died when she said that!! She is 9 years old and already knows that! Wow! The week went on and we were there at their house every single day! Man I've never seen Satan work so hard on one person to not be baptized, anything that could have gone wrong to prevent the baptism went wrong. But Nadja and Amanda stayed strong and at the end of it all, all went well! The baptism was incredible! The whole ward was there and like 4 sets of missionaries! It was so awesome! The spirit was so so strong!!! There wasn't a dry eye in the room! 

        And today Nadja called me and said that her husband who also wanted nothing to do with the church for the longest time decided that this week would be his baptism!!! Guys when he gets baptized, the whole family will be together in the gospel! We'll complete this family! And here in a year and a half (when Nayla gets home) they'll all go to the temple to get sealed for eternity! 

  Guys my heart could not be more full! I am so so happy to see the rest of this amazing family enter into the church of Christ! One thing that made me bawl my eyes out yesterday after the baptism is Nadja hugged me and said to me that I am a person very special to her and her family. But little does she know, that her and her family have changed my life! They are my family here! I love them so so much and am so full of love and joy for their decisions to be baptized! Man a mission is the greatest thing ever! I don't even want to go home (sorry mom) haha! 

  Love you all so much! Please pray that everything works out for the baptism this week and for everyone to stay strong and active in this amazing gospel! 

  With love,

Sister Moss

Beleza meu povo! Então esta semana foi normal até ontem. Mas deixa eu contar tudo!

  Então não vou mentir, esta semana eu estava doente de novo... acho que estou morrendo com L. Gui! HOLY COW!!!! Maaaas vai dar tudo certo, ore por meu saúde kkkk. Ficamos em casa um dia por causa de meu doença e tivemos conferência de zona tbm. Então tudo era bem corrido esta semana. 

  Conferência era tão boa! Presidente basicamente só queimou, mas tudo bem. por vez em quando tem que acontecer. Aprendemos um "novo lição" de ensinar sobre a igreja, e como ela é. Tipo assim, bem simples. Foi legal, geralmente Mossoró participam com a interior, mas algumas coisas aconteceu e eles vierem pra ca pela conferência! Foi dahora a ver todos eles! Corremos atrás nossa padrão com a conferência e tudo era bem difícil. mas deu certo! E chegamos no domingo!!!

  Vamos lá. Então Domingo (ontem) foi massa!! cara, não têm ideá! Estávamos indo pra igreja e no metode no caminho nossa pesquisadora parou a carro e levou a gente o resto do caminho! sempre é um milagre a pegar corona kkkk. Esperando pelo reunião sacramental a começar e mais duas pesquisadoras entraram! Mais dois milagres!! Mas essa não é o melhor parte!! Presidente e Sister Colleoni nos visitou hoje, para ver como eu sou. Então depois o sacramento ensinamos (basicamente só L. Gui, eu estava morrendo) a aula dos princípios do evangelho. Presidente e Sister Colleoni assistiu a aula e ajudou bastante com algumas perguntas das pessoas. Depois desta aula Presidente colleoni falou um pouco com uma de nossas pesquisadoras. A primeira coisa ele falou era "Irmã porque você não foi batizada ainda?" bora lá agora né? 

  Beleza então ele sentou com ela e tirou todos as duvidas que ela tive! Ela explicou que queria esperar a filha dela voltar da missão a ser batizada. Presidente curtiu ela e falou "não você vai ser batizada este domingo e vai mandar as boas noticias pra sua filha que agora só tá esperando a voltar pra ser seladas". cara gente era tão poderoso! quase chorei na hora! Presidente é tão bom! 

  Depois a igreja, Presidente chamou a gente e falou que ele quer muito a ensinar pra ela e ele vai voltar durante a semana pra ir lá conosco! Vamos ensinar alguém com o Presidente! Será massa!! Ainda mais depois a igreja a pesquisadora ligou e confirmou que ela VAI ser batizada este domingo! Gente faz uma semana que fizemos o jejum pedindo pelos milagres e esta semana vemos muitos acontecendo! Jejum é real! Milagres são reais!!! 

  Foi uma ótima semana! Ainda sendo doente e bem corrida! Sei que não existe coincidências, que Presidente tive um proposito maior de visitar a gente ontem. Sei que Deus responde nossas orações, todos eles!!! Amo este evangelho!

  Amo vocês!

  My people beauty So this week was normal until yesterday. But let me tell you everything!

  So I'm not going to lie, this week I was sick again ... I think I'm dying with L. Gui! Holy Cow. Maaaas will be all right, pray for my health kkkk. We stayed home one day because of my illness and we had tbm conference. So everything was well run this week.

  Conference was so good! President basically just burned, but that's okay. every once in a while it has to happen. We learn a "new lesson" from teaching about the church, and how it is. Like that, very simple. It was cool, usually Mossoró participate with the interior, but some things happened and they came and saw the conference! It was now time to see them all! We ran our pattern with the conference and everything was very difficult. but it worked! And we arrived on Sunday !!!

  Come on. Then Sunday (yesterday) was massive !! Dude, they have no idea! We were going to church and on the way in the way our researcher stopped the car and took us the rest of the way! It's always a miracle to get a kkkk crown. Waiting for the sacrament meeting to begin and two more researchers came in! Two more miracles !! But that's not the best part !! President and Sister Colleoni visited us today, to see how I am. Then after the sacrament we taught (basically just L. Gui, I was dying) the gospel lesson class. President and Sister Colleoni attended the class and helped a lot with a few questions from people. After this class President Colleoni spoke a bit with one of our researchers. The first thing he said was "Sister why have not you been baptized yet?" It's there now, right?

  Beauty then he sat with her and took away all the doubts she had! She explained that she wanted to wait for her daughter to return from the mission to be baptized. The president liked her and said "you will not be baptized this Sunday and will send the good news to your daughter who is just waiting to be re-sealed." Dear people, it was so powerful! I almost cried at the time! President is so good!

  After the church, President called us and said that he wants to teach her a lot and he will come back during the week to go with us! Let's teach someone with the President! It will be mass !! Even more after the church the researcher called and confirmed that she WILL be baptized this Sunday! People have been fasting for a week for the miracles and this week we see many happening! Fasting is real! Miracles are real!!!

  It was a great week! Still being sick and well run! I know there are no coincidences, that President had a greater purpose of visiting us yesterday. I know God answers our prayers, all of them !!! I love this gospel!

  Love you!

Gente, eu não acredito que já tenho um ano e um mês na minha missão!! estou terminando aqui logo!!! A missão passa tão rápido! Mas é uma coisa maravilhosa, e inesquecível! A gente não fez nada muito diferente esta semana, mas quero prestar meu testemunho sobre minha missão.

  Eu sei, sem duvida que eu devo estar aqui, agora com essas pessoas! Esse é realmente um chamado por Deus, e ainda assim, as vezes não sinto, Ele precisa de mim aqui. A missão é a coisa mais difícil em minha vida, eu nem sei como agir as vezes. Mas sei que Deus tem um plano perfeito, e tem razão por tudo! Sei que Ele prepara as pessoas em todo conte para nos. Sei que Deus dá os esforços pra cumprir a obra dele. Testifico que este é a igreja verdadeira do Salvador Jesus Cristo. Ele é nosso Redentor, e Ele está sempre no nosso lado. Sei que Ele deixou uma doutrina perfeita pra nos a seguir. E quando seguimos ganhamos um testemunho verdadeira que Ele e nosso Pai Celestial nos amam, e querem nos abençoar! Amo muito minha missão, amo muito meu Salvador, amo muito este evangelho e estou tão grata por minha oportunidade de ter mais 4 meses aqui em minha casa com minha segunda família! Parte meu coração saber que daqui a 4 meses vou deixar tudo isso... Mas estou imensamente grata por esse oportunidade maravilhoso de ser um instrumento nas mãos do Senhor. 

  Amo muito vocês!

Guys, I can not believe I already have a year and a month on my mission !! I'm finishing here soon !!! The mission goes so fast! But it's a wonderful thing, and unforgettable! We have not done anything very different this week, but I want to share my testimony about my mission.

  I know, without doubt I must be here, now with these people! This is really a call from God, and yet, sometimes I do not feel, He needs me here. Mission is the hardest thing in my life, I do not even know how to act sometimes. But I know God has a perfect plan, and he's right about everything! I know He prepares people everywhere to tell us. I know God gives the effort to do His work. I testify that this is the true church of the Savior Jesus Christ. He is our Redeemer, and He is always on our side. I know He left a perfect doctrine for us to follow. And as we go on we gain a true testimony that He and our Heavenly Father love us, and want to bless us! I love my mission very much, I love my Savior very much, I love this gospel very much and I am so grateful for my opportunity to have another 4 months here in my house with my second family! It breaks my heart to know that in four months I will leave all this ... But I am immensely grateful for this wonderful opportunity to be an instrument in the hands of the Lord.  Love you so much!  Sister Moss

Hey everyone!! So this week was much much better than last week. My companion and I still aren't 100% better but we were good enough that we actually left the house this week to work!! Woohoo what a miracle, it's horrible staying home on the mission. I just want to get out and work!!! We got tons of work done this week, which was awesome! We basically started everything new because we didn't get out last week, but turned out pretty well if you ask me! We're working a lot with the mom and sisters of our recent convert Maria Eloisa. Man first off, since her baptism she has changed sooooo much, its so amazing to see these changes in her! And secondly, we're working a lot with her mom to help her really get into the church and the idea that it really is a good thing for her, no the BEST thing for her. She went to church with us this week and seemed to really enjoy it. I think it helped a lot that the lessons this week were more on the atonement and how we should all apply it to our lives. I think it really helped her understand the little tiny sacrifices she will be giving to receive the everlasting promises and love that the Savior gives to us everyday. We had a few more people at church with us, which is always great. We are now working with the daughter of a less active in our ward too. She's 11 and is super religious! I talked to her a bit yesterday and she told me she'd been raised in the Catholic church but wants to learn more about the Mormons haha. She's super sweet!! 

  Beyond talking to literally everyone this week to find new people to teach we didn't do a whole lot. We still had a few days that we stayed at home because we were experiencing lots of pain but overall everything went really well this week. Loving my companion, she's literally the greatest! And I learn so much from her everyday! Love love love it! 

  Just want to bear my testimony for you all that I know without a doubt, that Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer. He is the only person who was and is able to give so much for the whole world. I know that he suffered beyond comprehension for all of my sins and all of my weaknesses. I have lots so I know he suffered beyond anything I can even imagine. He is my Savior and I will be forever in his debt! One thing I liked that I heard at church yesterday was that someone asked what we do everyday to try and show our gratitude for the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made for us. So I want to pose the same question for all of you:

  What is it that you do everyday to show that you are grateful for the sacrifice that Christ made for you?

  Love and miss you all with all my heart!!!

Ei pessoal! Então esta semana foi muito melhor que na semana passada. Minha companheira e eu ainda não somos 100% melhores, mas éramos bons o bastante para sairmos de casa esta semana para trabalhar!! Woohoo que milagre, é horrível ficar em casa na missão. Eu só quero sair e trabalhar!!! Fizemos tanto trabalho esta semana, o que foi incrível! Nós basicamente começamos tudo de novo porque nós não saímos na semana passada, mas saiu muito bem se você me perguntar! Estamos trabalhando muito com a mãe e as irmãs da nossa recente conversa Maria Eloisa. Gente primeiro, desde o seu batismo ela mudou muito muuuito, é tão incrível ver essas mudanças nela! E em segundo lugar, estamos trabalhando muito com a mãe dela para ajudá-la a realmente entrar na igreja e a idéia de que realmente é uma coisa boa para ela, não é a MELHOR coisa para ela. Ela foi à igreja conosco esta semana e pareceu gostar muito. Acho que ajudou muito que as lições desta semana estivessem mais na expiação e como devemos aplicá-la em nossas vidas. Acho que isso realmente a ajudou a entender os pequenos sacrifícios que ela vai dar para receber as promessas e o amor eterno que o Salvador nos dá todos os dias. Nós tivemos mais algumas pessoas na igreja conosco, o que é sempre bom. Agora estamos trabalhando com a filha de um menos ativo em nossa ala também. Ela tem 11 anos e é super religiosa! Eu falei com ela um pouco ontem e ela me disse que foi criada na igreja católica, mas quer aprender mais sobre os mórmons kkk. Ela é super da hora!!

  Além de conversar literalmente com todos as pessoas encontramos na rua esta semana para encontrar novas pessoas para ensinar, não fizemos muito. Ainda tínhamos alguns dias em que ficamos em casa porque estávamos com muita dor, mas no geral tudo foi muito bem esta semana. Amando meu companheiro, ela é literalmente a melho! E eu aprendo muito com ela todos os dias! Amor, amor, amor!

  Só quero prestar meu testemunho por todos vocês que eu sei, sem dúvida, que Jesus Cristo é nosso Salvador e Redentor. Ele é a única pessoa que foi e é capaz de dar muito para o mundo inteiro. Eu sei que ele sofreu além da compreensão por todos os meus pecados e todas as minhas fraquezas. Eu tenho muito, então eu sei que ele sofreu além de qualquer coisa que eu possa imaginar. Ele é meu Salvador e eu ficarei para sempre em dívida com ele! Uma coisa que gostei e que ouvi na igreja ontem foi que alguém perguntou o que fazemos todos os dias para tentar mostrar nossa gratidão pelo sacrifício que Jesus Cristo fez por nós. Então eu quero fazer a mesma pergunta para todos vocês:

  O que vocês fazem todos os dias para mostrar que são gratos pelo sacrifício que Cristo fez por vocês?

  Amor e saudades de todos vocês com todo meu coração !!!

Feliz Páscoa!!

Tá, então esta semana foi bem difícil pra a gente... Nos duas ficamos doente a semana inteira, e não conseguimos de sair de casa. Somente pra conferência no final da semana. Então não tenho muito a te dizer.. mas mano conferência era bom demais! Tinha muitos perguntas e agora sei que elas foram respondidas! Foi muito muito bom de ouvir a voz de nossa novo profeta! Sei sem duvida que ele foi chamado por Deus para nos guiar nesses dias! Amo muito Presidente Nelson e seus apóstolos!

  Além da conferência não tenho muito a te dizer. A semana foi difícil, não trabalhemos muito, quase nada.. Vamos ao hospital amanhã de novo a ver o que era a problema. Sei com todo meu coração que temos um profeta vivo hoje! Que tudo que ouvimos na conferência era respostas por nossas perguntas. Que Deus realmente responde seus filhos! 

  Não esquece o razão deste epoca do ano. A ressurreição de nossa Salvador Jesus Cristo! Sei que realmente ele é o Salvador do mundo! Que ele nos salvou e nos salva todos os dias, se a gente aceita ajuda dele! O amo com tudo que eu sou! 

  Amo muito vocês!! Feliz Páscoa!!

  Okay, so this week was really hard for us ... We were both sick the whole week, and we could not leave the house. Only for conference at the end of the week. So I do not have much to tell you .. but the conference was good too! I had many questions and now I know they have been answered! It was very good to hear the voice of our new prophet! I know without a doubt that he was called by God to guide us these days! I really love President Nelson and his apostles!

  Besides the conference I do not have much to tell you. The week was difficult, we did not work much, almost nothing .. We go to the hospital tomorrow again to see what the problem was. I know with all my heart that we have a living prophet today! That all we heard at the conference was answers to our questions. That God really answers your children!

  Do not forget the reason of this time of year. The Resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ! I know that he is indeed the Savior of the world! That he has saved us and saves us every day, if we accept his help! I love you with everything I am!

  Love you so much!! Happy Easter!!

  <<A little explanation...>> This week we stayed home sick with dengue, so we didn't get anything done. But this upcoming week should be better. and we're doing better. we both have dengue, and it's awful. lots of body pain, any and every part of the body. lots of fevers, every day for a week. we had a few days really bad that we couldn't even leave our beds.. it was really bad. today I don't have too much pain, but i think I'm still with fever. and it's a sickness you get from the freaking mosquitoes.
