"stop being annoying" thing i teach my comp to say in english to the elders

My life is going really awesome right now, so I kind of sucks that it'll be over SO SOON. Sister Leite is one of my FAVORITE companions I have ever had, we get along so well, we are always laughing and working hard and pushing eachother and she does my eyebrows and I teach her english (more or less)
It's only been 2 weeks here, but I already find myself so connected with the people we are teaching! We have a recent convert Mauricio (19 years old), who was baptized the week before I came, and he is SO SWEET. His circumstances are very humble, and he had to let go of along of things for him to join the church, but he is AMAZING and always invites is friends to church too, and this week we went to visit him and he didnt see that we were coming so we snuck up and saw that he was reading the Book of Mormon alone and we almost cried because it was so precious. Love him.
Other high point of the week was when we met this little old couple in the front of their house and we decided to sing them a hymn and the second we started singing the lady started clapping her hands to the "beat" and then stood up and started dancing to "count your blessings" and I loved it so much, we could not stop laughing.
OKAY REAL HIGH POINT OF THE WEEK: GENERAL CONFERENCE:
I'm not trying to play favorites, but the best two talks were on saturday, bu Russell M. Nelson and Neil L. Andersen, and I am going to need everyone to read, and strengthen your testimony in Jesus Christ, and  OVERCOME THE WORLD!
AI YOU GUYS I LOVE MY MISSION SO MUCH.
LOVE,
Sister Lipps
