PREDICTIONS: WrestleMania 34
Today is the day!nIt’s WrestleMania! With the most women’s matches on the card in WrestleMania history, this is sure to be a can’t miss spectacle! So who does the squared circle siren staff think will win at WrestleMania? Let’s find out!
WrestleMania Women’s Battle Royal
SCOTT: Predicting a winner is going to be fairly tough since we don’t know the full list of women that will participate. The men’s battle royal has had a few as 20 men so I would presume we will have at least 20. There have been 14 women announced, so I anticipate some women from NXT. I think the majority of the story within the match will revolve around the conflict between Sasha Banks & Bayley. This is a storyline has been evolving for several months and I think it will continue to work toward complete implosion. I would love to see the return of Alicia Fox from injury knowing that she is in NOLA, but I’m not sure if she has been cleared to compete. One of the highlights of this match will be Beth Phoenix as a guest commentator. Given the state of both main brand divisions, my prediction is that someone from NXT wins. Hopefully, that will provide an injection of new life into one of the main brands post-Wrestlemania. PREDICTION: Ember Moon
CASEY: I’ve gone back and forth on who I thought should win this. I originally thought Becky Lynch should win this, having been in my opinion the top face of the SmackDown Live women’s division, however, with her performances since her call up I’m going to go with Ruby Riott. She has been nothing short of amazing since her call up to the main roster and I think the numbers came with the Riott Squad could play into things during this battle royal. PREDICTION: Ruby Riott
DENNIS: Well, there’s been just about everything now. And although I am more curious to see whether or not we will have a second elimination chamber match or a second Hell in a Cell. Or are we just focused on having the first and calling it a day? But here we are. A battle royal of everyone, and who knows what this could look like. I think WWE has put some weight on this battle royal with the under matches of Ruby and Becky. Nattie randomly beating Charlotte. Sasha and Baylee. Absolution. Mickie James. You could honestly make an argument for any of them winning. Which is why I think none of them will. I think there aren’t enough people to call this a battle royal, so I’m expecting some NXT Callups. And who better than the woman who just lost her NXT women’s championship (if my prediction is correct) to put herself on the main roster. I think it’s the only standout that makes sense at face value. And although I’ll continue to hold out for my Sasha Heel Turn at Mania, I think Ember Moon wins the battle royal PREDICTION: Ember Moon
RYAN: I feel like the winner will be someone that we don’t expect. For me, that would be Alicia Fox. Someone of her stature and longevity could use this win. Plus, she’s a veteran. But realistically, I could see Becky pulling through as well. PREDICTION: Alicia Fox
JAY: I just have a feeling Becky Lynch. Shes a hard worker and a trophy like this will give her more prestige. Who knows, will someone from NXT show up and steal the show? PREDICTION: Becky Lynch
RAW Women’s Championship | Alexa Bliss (c) vs. Nia Jax
DENNIS: Sigh. This match is really hard for me to comment on because I’m a HUGE Alexa Bliss fan and I’ve become a big Nia Jax fan, but in the midst of WrestleMania week, I am just not as excited about this match as I thought I would be. I like the idea of a Nia Jax face turn and I think that could do great things for her, and the roster overall. Alexa Bliss is magic as champion, and her promos regularly deliver. But I really wish Mickie was left out of this one. I wish it was just Alexa using Nia and Nia finally catching on and shutting down Alexa and Alexa always running leading to this match. But meh, here we are. I think for me, there just hasn’t been enough here for Nia Jax to take the championship. Which is my official prediction, Nia Jax does not walk out of Wrestlemania Raw Women’s Champion. Whether that means Alexa wins somehow or Carmella cashes in here. Whatever. I don’t think Nia wins it here. So my official words are Alexa Wins, but I won’t be surprised if Carmella cashes in or this ends in a dirty finish. PREDICTION: Alexa Bliss
RYAN: This one continuously has me second guessing myself. As much as I would love for Nia Jax to finally win the RAW Women’s Championship, I’m not too sure it will happen. On one hand, I could see Nia destroy Alexa, get over as a face, and WWE could have Nia stand tall against the bully. However, Alexa is incredibly over (as is Nia). So if WWE wants a heel to run a division as champion, Alexa is their go-to girl. Her beating Nia would put her over even more as a heel. But all in all, I see Nia getting her big moment.PREDICTION: Nia Jax
SCOTT: This is the one that I’m completely unsure of how it will end. I have loved Alexa as a Champion since day 1 of her Smackdown Live reign. She is probably the best woman on the roster with a mic and she makes matches really fun to watch. Nia’s booking, on the other hand, has been all over the place. She is pushed for a few weeks then forgotten about. Alexa is going to have an uphill battle if she is going to keep the belt. The way she and Mickie have treated Nia recently has enraged the beast that Nia contains. Titles have evaded Nia, both in NXT and on the main roster. This weekend, however, may be the time that changes. PREDICTION: Nia Jax
JAY: With the way the storyline is going I am hoping for a Nia Jax victory. Body shaming, something WWE says they are against, it would surprise me for the bully to win at Wrestlemania. WWE creative has made an interesting story the last month or so and believe Nia can be a strong force on Raw. But, don’t ever count out Alexa Bliss with Mickie by her side. PREDICTION: Nia Jax
CASEY: Since being called up Alexa Bliss has only been without a title for 45 days. Isn’t that crazy? Alexa has been a great champion but with the way this storyline has been going, I just can’t see her retaining here. Nia has turned babyface and has the crowd behind her. She hasn’t gotten her hands on Alexa and I think she’ll get her big moment at WrestleMania this year and win the title. PREDICTION: Nia Jax
SmackDown Women’s Championship | Charlotte Flair (c) vs. Asuka
RYAN: Asuka’s streak is going incredibly strong, and I don’t see it ending now. She’ll defeat Charlotte, win the belt, and move to SmackDown. The only other possibility I see is Asuka winning by DQ via Carmella and having her cashing in on Charlotte. You never know with WrestleMania. PREDICTION: Asuka
CASEY: I’m sure everyone will predict Asuka to win. How could you not with her streak and her winning the rumble? However, I don’t think she’ll lose technically. What I think will happen is Carmella will attack Asuka with the Money in The Bank briefcase, giving Asuka the DQ victory before focusing on Charlotte and winning the belt from her. I think Carmella will make the most and steal the WrestleMania moment from Charlotte and Asuka. PREDICTION: Carmella
SCOTT: I think this match will be the best women’s match WWE shows this weekend. Askua is one of the best women that WWE employs and has yet to find anyone that can beat her in the ring. She has the record for longest reigning NXT Women’s Champion as well as being the winner of the first Women’s Royal Rumble in January. She challenges the genetically superior Charlotte. Charlotte has held a title 7 times for over 800 days. While she may not have the winning streak of Asuka, she definitely has an impressive resume. Charlotte has had incredible matches with many of the women on the WWE roster and this match will be no different. These women will take each other to the limit. But in the end, I believe the streak will remain intact. PREDICTION: Asuka
DENNIS: This is hands down the match I’m most excited for in the sense of this will simply be a good match. We’ve been waiting for Charlotte vs. Asuka and it’s finally happening, even if the build is meh and if it weren’t for the fact Asuka was undefeated and Charlotte was a champ this match wouldn’t matter. Anyway, I’ve learned from past write ups to never bet against Asuka, so for the sake of predicting correctly, I’m taking Asuka. But I’m praying I’m wrong and Charlotte is the one to dethrone Asuka. But I doubt it will happen and we will see Asuka vs Ronda next year. PREDICTION: Asuka
JAY: If you are going to win, win it with Flair. I know its a long shot but we’ve seen other streaks broken at Wrestlemania (must I say more?) Now, do I think Flair is going to win, no, but I would like to see her victorious. Asuka is still a force to be reckoned with so putting her ahead makes sense. Woooo! PREDICTION: Charlotte Flair
Ronda Rousey & Kurt Angle vs. Stephanie McMahon & Triple H
CASEY: I mean, you’d have to be Stevie Wonder if you don’t know who is winning this. No way Ronda loses her first match with WWE. PREDICTION: Ronda Rousey & Kurt Angle
DENNIS: I feel I am about to be in the major minority here. But I actually haven’t minded this build. Is it a little cheesy? Sure. Does Ronda need to build more into her character? Yes. But overall, I’m still excited to see Ronda wrestle. I mentioned this on the soundoff, and it might not be for much as I still expect a Cena/Nikki Miz/Maryse Match. Nonetheless, I think this one is a toss-up. I don’t see Ronda taking the fall. I think for me there isn’t a sense to having Ronda lose. Therefore, I’m picking Stephanie and Triple H. Because the WWE needs a swing moment here and that’s probably it. PREDICTION: Stephanie McMahon & Triple H
SCOTT: Of all of the WWE matches this weekend, this is the match that I’m most unsure of how it will go. Stephanie McMahon was never a great wrestler. She has had some good matches with women that are able to help carry the moves. With this being Ronda’s first professional wrestling match, the jury is still out on how she can perform in the ring. Her draw is unmistakable and I’m sure she will definitely get some rough shots in on Stephanie. However, I anticipate this match will feature Triple H and Kurt much more. In the end, the pair of Olympians will surely stand tall. I can’t see Ronda being brought in with such fanfare to lose to a woman who has maybe a couple dozen matches in her entire career, with her last being in 2014. PREDICTION: Ronda Rousey & Kurt Angle
RYAN: This is a no-brainer for me, and for most people I assume. Ronda Rousey is going to win her debut at WrestleMania. Most likely with her getting Stephanie to tap out. PREDICTION: Ronda Rousey & Kurt Angle
Who do you think will win on the grandest stage of them all? Let us know in the comments or tweet us!

Episode #5: “I Didn't Come Back To Be A Stupid @$$” - Andreas
Not quite sure what to make of this tribe of 5 but I find in this one theirs no where to hide because I can almost guarantee Jackson is going to be a middle man between Danielle and I, and everyone knows that in this tribe I would be the one they send home. But luckily for me, I have Gage and Christine's students on my tribe so If I send them home it weakens them come merge, but following the murder of 3 returnees early on I can NOT have a repeat of Easter Island, so I need to get over my phobia of returnees.
youtube
MKAY COOL I COULDN"T HAVE ASKED FOR A BETTER SCENARIO IT'S LITERALLY 4 V 1 IS THIS HOW SANDRA AND VARNER FELT
~*~Tales From Reflection Island~*~ Hi. I'm pissed. I was so excited to finally win my first tribal immunity and FINALLY not have to worry about being voted out, but that was short lived. Brett, my flop ass mentor, was voted out on the other tribe almost unanimously. What the HECK. So my gay ass is shipped off to reflection island where I have to "reflect on what went wrong" or whatever. But it ain't my fault Brett is a flop! He was the mentor. He was supposed to know not to get voted out. AND THEN we have a tribe swap.... While I'm on reflection. You know what happened to the last person on reflection island during a tribe swap? They were voted out unanimously the same round they returned (rip Connor). So when I come back I'm gonna have some serious work to do. Going onto a tribe of 5 is scary in itself, not being there when the tribe is formed is even worse. the ONLY saving grace in this whole situation is the reflection ritual or whatever the heck its call. Bc I'm always doing #that and I PICKED AN URN WITH AN IDOL PIECE IN IT WOOOO. Now I have 2/3 pieces! This makes it so much easier to get that last piece and make an idol. And that could save my ass in this tricky situation. My plan once I come back is to victimize myself, talk to everyone, be so devastated by the loss of my mentor, act paranoid, and find that last piece. Wish me luck!
Im actually really frustrated right now, we could have easily won immunity but Lauren messed up very basic instructions and just completely fucked us over. Now we have to go to tribal. Lol 4th tribal out of 5 ugh. So anyways this tribal should be easy however we know how this game goes, the easy vote never happens. But none the less this allows me a valid reason to take Christine's student out which would have completely destroyed all her numbers which means shes 1 which isnt a huge threat. Im just worried about idols ,and tribal on my 200th day is ANNOYING. Anyways i need to go calm down phew. Old Andreas is coming out lmao
So jackson and I had a plan to throw the torch pass challenge and use lauren to get out andreas. funniest part: we didn't even have to throw because lauren posted at the wrong time and fucked it all up! I'm trying to make everyone hate her now so she feels like she has to vote with us. jackson was hesitant at first about voting andreas but he's warmed up to it. I hope he stays with the decision. I really think him and I can fight our way through this game.
i got my 2nd idol piece from fucking hell of looking through numbers! van who??
So I think I already did a confessional but oh well. This tribe swap isn't looking good for me. I ended up not getting the idol piece because Chelsea already got it so that was super annoying. BUUUUT. I got reward this time and Ryan ended up getting his 2nd idol piece from it. I'm happy bc that means we have 2/3 in our posession and I think that he's 100% loyal to me. He's said over and over that this is our idol and I truly believe that. We've been friends for so long that I doubt that he would be using an idol that we both found against me in any way. I'm trying to talk to everyone every day but it's hard when it's one world. I hate it so much fuck fkjdsn. Andreas is kinda annoying and very pushy when it comes to this game. He created an alliance with Jackson and I, which I don't think I'll stick too, to try and talk about the vote. From what I can tell at this point, the vote is going to be Andreas anyway. Although Lauren fucked up in the challenge, people are wanting to keep her around for a throwaway vote if we lost next time (which we are going to if we're going to be keeping the weak players anyway). I'm starting to get annoyed with not being in power. Chelsea is running around only talking game yet telling me that other people will inform me with the plan... I- There is no way that I'm gonna be able to get her out and if god forbid we went to tribal again, it would be Lauren. I'm thinking of teaming up with Lauren to vote out Chelsea if it came down to it, I don't know if that would be the right move but right now, I feel like she's running the game and I want to be the one that takes her off of the high horse that she's sitting on.
Hi I'm Jackson and this is my third confessional, just in time for the third generation of tribes. Ever since the swap, I've kind of had a heavy feeling in the pit of my stomach. Not because I was put on a tribe with people I can't work with - in fact, I've had good interactions with everyone on my new tribe in the past, and best of all, I'm reunited with my closest ally Chelsea. Instead, the feelings of dread come from the fact that a lot of power was given to the two of us to start making moves of our own, and it's scary to no longer be floating in the background, hiding behind our mentors. Still, Chelsea and I both feel like we can't shy away from the opportunity we've been given. So, we planned to throw the immunity challenge. I had two objectives in mind for this. The first was to allow Colin to join our tribe after his return from exile, as he's someone I really trust and I couldn't guarantee his safety if he went to another tribe. The second was to vote out Andreas, who I see as one of the smartest and most well connected players in the game. We were going to have Chelsea pretend her internet went out, which I'm honestly not 100% sure would've worked without attracting suspicion. But then Lauren decided to do what I think she does best: go inactive without explanation. Since she queued her post for the wrong time, our torch lighting was out of order from the get go, and we had no chance of winning unless Lauren came online at just the right time (which she didn't). So yeah, we lost, and I guess me and Chelsea got our way. Right off the bat Lauren was scrambling. She came to me and Chelsea for help, asking us to stay united as original Ersfjorden members, which normally I'd roll my eyes at because she's suspicious af to me but was happy to hear in this specific moment. With me, Chelsea, and Lauren, we have three, and can vote out Andreas like we planned (or, at least, like Chelsea pushed really hard to and I agreed only after talking to my mentor because I'm a weenie). Andreas was acting pretty jumpy too. I think he really doesn't want to get voted out on his 200th day of tumblr survivor, and yeah, I get that and I'm gonna feel real bad casting my vote. He really helped me get my footing on Ersfjorden 2, and we could've had a nice working relationship even though he probably would beat me at the end. Anyway, he came to me pushing hard to get Lauren voted out to keep the tribe strong, and I told him I was definitely on board. His worry was not that Danielle would flip on us (more on that later) but that Lauren would somehow make an idol with Chelsea, who I can tell he doesn't totally trust. Joke's on him - Colin has the idol piece that everyone thinks Lauren has, but I'm not gonna tell anyone. I tried to reassure him that Chelsea's on our side too, and I'm hoping his guard is down. Danielle is the wild card. Even though we could vote out Andreas without her (assuming Lauren isn't the fucking mastermind of the millennium), I wanted her to be in on this vote because I think she will stick with me postmerge. Ryan likes her, and I don't want to go against him (yet). So I told Danielle that Lauren was pushing for Andreas, and she seemed tentatively supportive of the idea to vote him out now with Lauren being the next to go if we lose again. She also sent me her reward, which was a clue to an idol piece hidden somewhere on the blog. Long story short, the URL involves a five digit code starting with a 7 and including no repeating digits. It's basically impossible to determine the URL from that (unless i've already gotten it right but someone got their first and the page was deleted?) without more info, and I don't think the hosts would give such a difficult riddle. So yeah I think she didn't send me the entire clue (she withheld some of the digit hints), which kind of annoys me because she's trying to gain my loyalty by supplying intel but she doesn't trust me enough to let me have a chance at finding it myself. Also I shared literally all the details about JD and Liam's shitty alliance on Ersfjorden2 that locked out her and her student, so I feel like I'm giving out more than I'm getting back. But anyway, though she says she's on board for the Andreas vote (making it 4-1 against him), I worry that she's concerned about my relationship with Chelsea. I also worry that she's closer to Andreas than she claimed (and than Ryan thought), and that she might have ratted me out to him. While it doesn't seem like there's a lot he could do if he did know we were targeting him, there's a slim chance he could try to pull Lauren over. In that case, it'd be either me or Chelsea going, and considering how many more limbs I've gone out on than usual this week, I'm not feeling super safe. So yeah, that's about it, so unless something changes in the hours before the vote tomorrow, this is it. I'll be voting for Andreas and hoping I didn't get duped.
Looks like everything is still good to go with the Andreas vote. Sorry bud! The ship has sailed ~
youtube
Whelp, operation save Brett was a flop and I'm sad. But on the bright side I'm in love with this swap! It's nice to be reunited with Ryan and I'm glad QuilLynn is still with me. JD also seems really nice and then I haven't really talked to Nicholas yet. I'm glad we were able to win immunity but I'm kinda worried for Lauren. I feel like Jackson and Chelsea will help her but we'll see.
Going into tribal its been really quiet and that's been scaring me. No one is really talking to me besides Jackson but I could just be acting like a crazy person but who freaking knows. Hopefully this tribe votes out Lauren but maybe tonight, as my 200th night in TS will be my final. I hope not though, I don't wanna be a pre-merge flop.
Omg so the whole point of last vote was to get rid of Brett bc he is a bigger threat then jack and he would be more likely to be able to convince Lauren and Christine to flip. And of course we don't tell jack about the vote bc he really wanted Chelsea, but then of course he fucking ends up on my swapped tribe. I'm really happy I'm with Gage again bc he's definitely someone I trust and he's really nice, I'm also kinda glad to see lily And I'm hoping we can continue to work together. Jack ahhh I didn't tell him about the last vote so I don't think he trusts me anymore but he's nice. So that leaves Liam as the only person I hadn't met yet, I exchanged like 2 words with him and then he tells Ryan that he's talked to me the most? Like how is 2 lines a lot of conversation?? I mean I feel bad for him being super busy with 2 jobs and everything but he doesn't talk to me a lot and when we actually do talk it's always at 3 in the morning. So anyway last night Liam goes up to me and says hey I have an idea for if we ever have to go to tribal council, and he was talking about how me him and jack should work together and I agreed to it of course bc you should never really say no to alliances bc that's sketchy. I also found out that it was Liam and JD who created the majority alliance, like this boy seems kinda power hungry tbh. Anyway Kalfjorden looses immunity which is fine but I just hope it's not Chelsea, Andreas or Danielle. And then apparently Lauren has been super inactive and messed up on the challenge so it would make sense to vote her out and everyone seemed on board or whatever. But then in the all girls alliance, that I like the idea of but don't really feel comfortable with half the people in it, lily talks about how we gotta save Lauren. And at first I'm like wtf Lauren is cute and all but she's not the most active and I don't care about her that much. And Lily says that all the newbies are on board to vote together to vote out FUCKING ANDREAS. Like wtf I love Andreas?? And he's trying at this game unlike Lauren. And also lily goes oh yeah it'll be nice to vote out Andreas so that we can keep up student numbers like??? I'm a mentor??? I'm of course willing to work with students but not when they say they would like to vote out all the mentors lmao. I would tell Andreas but I won't bc I need to keep up my trust with lily especially since we're on a 5 person tribe where there's no room to hide. Anyway I could see if I could possibly talk to Jackson who I don't know well if he'd be willing to vote Lauren, ahh idk what I'm gonna do I hate this.
Im actually very concerned I may be going home tonight and part of me is thinking that perhaps i should throw my vote at Chelsea incase an idol is played. I don't see Christine letting Lauren go without a fight and I would be a great person in her eyes to take out pre-merge. Heading into this vote im super concerned, probably more then i've been in a while which is super scary. I didn't come back to be a stupid ass but its so freaking quiet, and I don't see Lauren going without a fight.

8/29/17 -- Sister Makenzie Moss, Brazil, Natal Mission
I'm going to Kill my Companion!!
Pronto! Oi familia!
First off, we had transfers! I'm still here in Nova Parnamirim but I have a new companion! Her name is Sister Mylla!! Shes 20 years old and is from São Paulo! Oh and shes dying... Meaning this is her last transfer on the mission and I get the privilege of "killing" her! Super excited for this transfer with her!! She's already helped me so much!! How do I get so lucky with my companions??
Last week we had a BBQ with part of our zone and it was super super fun! The elders did a good job cooking for us! Tons of people, food, soda and sports. It's my dream day, guys!!!
This week also has been really difficult to get in to teach people. It's been really frustrating. I know it's part of the mission but I really wish it wasn't. I just want people to learn about Jesus and choose to accept his light and love in their life. What's so wrong about that? Why don't they see the importance?
Mas realmente, without much teaching I don't have a whole lot to share with you guys. Sister Mylla is amazing and super trunky (excited to go home) but that's okay! I love her so much already. I feel like I knew her before which is super sweet!
Today we are having a Pday de distrito and having café da manha americano!! super excited!!!
Sorry its super short today everyone! Know that I love you all so much and so does our Savior and Father in Heaven! They are always by our side in every moment! Don't forget to turn to them in hours of need and hours of blessings! I love you all with all my heart and hope you all have an amazing week!!
Com amor,
Sister Moss
p.s. oh! good news! it's way easier to speak Portuguese than English now!! Woooo!!
Mawwiage, Mawwiage is What Brings us Togewah Today!!
Posted: 28 Aug 2017 09:15 PM PDT
Haha hey y'all!! So if you couldn't tell by the title we had a wedding and a baptism this week!! A cute little family!! R, J and J!
I've decided all I need is a temple wedding because all the other stuff is too much work!! You're welcome dad!
No but seriously the wedding was fantastic!! So of course with any wedding and pretty much anything in life we had our difficulties. First off, J's dress wouldn't close. And we tried I think 3 other dresses that didn't work. The day of the wedding I don't know how but the dress zipped and she looked absolutely stunning! Second, J works with one of the members in our ward and they're really close. Well the day before the wedding the member was working on wedding stuff and tripped and fractured her nose. They almost cancelled the wedding and baptism so she could be there. R forgot the papers to sign when they got married. Literally anything that could have happened to prevent this wedding and baptism basically happened.
But, God always prevails and the wedding was incredible and the baptism beautiful!!
Most of our week was filled with wedding planning and making sure everything was done and ready for the big day. So we didn't do a whole lot of teaching this week, but the teaching we did get done was really good. Real good quality lessons with real good quality investigators!
Oh this week I went to the hospital. People here get so preoccupied with little things it's funny. So on Thursday my toe started to hurt while i was walking and if you know me I didn't really think much of it. It's only one toe, I have 9 others right? Well Friday morning when I woke up it hurt still, and was super swollen. One of the sisters thought it was broken and called President Colleoni. Needless to say, within 30 minutes President and Sister Colleoni were in my area to pick me up and take me to the hospital! It's not broken. haha!
I know with all my heart that this is the true restored gospel here on the earth! That Jesus Christ suffered, died and rose again for every single one of us, to give us the opportunity to work and live with him again after this life! That by and through Him we can all have eternal life!! I love this work and feel beyond honored to assist in helping my brothers and sisters gain this knowledge and truth for themselves.
Love you all! Hope you all have an amazing week!
Oh and this week is transfers!! I'll let you all know what happens next week! This transfer was great and I learned so much with Sisters Camilio and Nobre! Feel very lucky with the companions that I have had thus far!!
okay byyyee!!
com amor,
Sister Moss
Brazil has pretty sunsets too!
I don't remember English...or Portuguese???
Oí gente!
Então meu Presidente me desafiou falar em só português, não inglês. Boa sorte!!
Mas, essa semana foi um pouco difícil para mim com na idioma. Não com compreensão mas para falar. Duas vezes eu esqueci completamente tudo! Durante lições eu lutava para falar e lembrar qualquer palavras. Muito difícil para mim. Foi doloroso... e também foi muito difícil para encontrar pessoas em casa.. Foi difícil essa semana.
Mas faz parte de missão né?
Mas eu continuarei avançado, sabe?
Essa semana a gente tem 3 batismos e um casamento! Uma família!! Muito animada! Eles sabem muito e são tão fortes na igreja já. É incrível!
O resto da nossa pesquisadores são boas! Progredindo muito, e finalmente visitando igreja conosco!
Eu não tenho muito para dizer a vocês, mas eu tenho um testemunho sobre esse obra. Eu sei com todo de meu o coração que este é a obra do Senhor! Mesmo que seja difícil, eu sei que vale a pena cada desafio. Que eu tó nunca sozinha. Sei que meu Salvador me-chamou para servir aqui com esses missionários e para servir essas pessoas com todo de meu o coração. Este é exatamente onde Ele me precisa. Eu sei que este é a igreja de Cristo, que Ele estabeleceu a igreja aqui na Terra para nos. Que Ele é nossa Salvador e Ele nos-deu um dom muito especial, a Expiação! E ele quer que usemos esse presente todos os dias. Ele sofreu para cada um de nos, e por causa dele temos a oportunidade a viver com Ele e Deus novamente! Amo Ele com todo o que eu sou.
Amo vocês com todo de meu o coração!
Boa Semana pra vocês!
Com amor,
Sister Moss
OH! Parabéns Parker e Jordan!! Muito feliz para vocês! <3
Here's the Google Translate (English) version of Sister Moss's email...
Hi people!
So my President challenged me to speak only Portuguese, not English. Good luck!!
But, this week was a bit difficult for me with the language. Not with understanding but to speak. Twice I completely forgot everything! For lessons I struggled to speak and remember any words. Too hard for me. It was painful ... and it was also very difficult to find people at home .. It was difficult this week.
But it's part of a mission right?
But I'll keep going, you know?
This week we have 3 baptisms and a wedding! A family!! Very excited! They know a lot and are so strong in the church already. It's incredible!
The rest of our researchers are good! Making progress, and finally visiting church with us!
I do not have much to tell you, but I have a testimony about this work. I know with all my heart that this is the work of the Lord! Even if it's difficult, I know it's worth every challenge. That I'm never alone. I know that my Savior has called me to serve here with these missionaries and to serve these people with all my heart. This is exactly where He needs me. I know this is the church of Christ, that He established the church here on earth for us. That He is our Savior and He has given us a very special gift, the Atonement! And he wants us to use this gift every day. He suffered for each one of us, and because of him we have the opportunity to live with Him and God again! I love Him with all that I am.
I love you with all my heart!
Good week to you!
With love,
Sister Moss

Dificuldades, e Milagres Sempre Sequem

Olá a todos!!!
Então esta semana foi ótimo!!!
So this week has been super great, and full of miracles and difficulties, (normal). First off, difficult for me because I've had tons of pain in my knee and its been really swollen, really scary for me. I don't want my knee to affect the way I work. But the pain got bad enough that I actually pulled out my brace. Right now, its good. Very little pain and the swelling has gone down. Milagre!!
The language is getting easier. I struggle with conjugating the verbs and stuff but other than that I feel comfortable speaking. I struggle still with understanding but its getting better.
Our investigators are progressing really well!! We have maybe 6-8 people on date for baptism for the next 2 weeks, and a wedding next week!! Super excited! Yesterday we saw so many little miracles. It was incredible! First off, we called basically all our investigators to see if they'd be able to make it to church, and literally everyone told us no. After lunch we got a call that one of our investigators changed their mind and would go to church if we got a car to pick her up. We picked her up with her 2 kiddos, and went to church. 5 minutes into sacrament meeting a family of recent converts walked in with their sister who told us no. Little miracles but amazing!
This week I've been studying a bit on faith, and I love the scripture Ether 12:6 e fala sequinte:
6 And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith.
I have seen this scripture applied directly to my mission this week. We always, always always always will have problems and difficulties in our lives. This is normal to our life on Earth. But God always promises blessings after we endure our trials. We will receive a testimony or strengthen the testimony we have after we have shown our dedication and faith and have done our part in enduring our trials. I know this to be true!
Also this week Sister Camilio and I were on our way to an appointment and a lady pulled up next to us in her car and offered us a ride. We were almost to the house so we declined and kept walking. she stopped next to us again and handed us chocolate and had us pick a quote out of a bag of quotes she had. I pulled mine out and it was a scripture which helped me a lot this week. Psalms 23:4
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
What a miracle? We have challenges every day, but we can overcome all things and have no need to fear because the Lord is always with us! He overcame the world, and because of him we can overcome our trials too!
Love you all so much and hope you all have an incredible week!!
Com todos de meu amor,
Sister Moss
