Hermana Naomi Perkins in Horse Country!

Holaaaaaaa That's right, we throwin' it back! Apparently Hna Carson and I didn't traumatize our last child (Hna Gray) too badly, so Prez has now entrusted us with... Hermana Day! And we mostly haven't traumatized her either. (Other than that one nightmare she had where we went around knocking doors and poisoning people with lemon bars 😬.) Anyways, we might be shipping this one off to Peru in a little bit. (She's a visa waiter, so she could leave today or in like 5 months jaja.) I'm also in a new area now!!!!! After 6 beautiful months in good ol' Hurstbourne, I have now been moved so, so far away to BROOKSIDE!  It's actually only like 30 minutes away and in my same District, zone, and stake, but it's a different ward! And it's my first time not being in a spanish branch! Basically our ward has a spanish "group" connected to it, but honestly it's pretty half n half between Kentucky crazies and awesome latinos! Including t...

Hola Y'all! As the title states, today is my Birthday!!! Or cumpleaños, if you will. So I'll give y'all a fast run down of what happened these past w weeks along with some lovely pictures: -We went to a ✨️wedding✨️ They are mawwaged now. (Now go watch Princess Bride for me, will ya?) -We helped Noemi move!!!! And found out by lovely miracle that our car can fit 2 QUEEN SIZED BEDS!!!! It took a lot of praying... and shoving. Then we drove it there, and accidentally took them up 3 flights of stairs before we realized her apartment was actually the other building😅 Also we finally got a picture with her!! She's awesome!! -We went on exchanges with STLs and it kinda became a Blitz because while knocking in English work we only found latinos jaja. And we had a member meal with a gal who had a cat named Obi-Wan Kenobi (video is in album) -Found the biggest frigging non-churanchula spider I've seen in my entire life🤢 I hope ...

Feliz Verano y'all! How's it been going? Did anyone other than my mom know that I missed a week? Jaja... nah What's happened? I don't really know. My mission memory is fried, it's just full of lots of names and random spanish words (Like ✨️burbujas✨️). So let's see what I can remember: -We helped build a wall for a Miss America Pageant thing. 🇺🇸  -AC went out for like 3 days, so nothing but good old ice pillows and waking up drenched in sweat. Gotta love humidity👍 -There was this whole wild thing where we thought our friend Oscar who's on bap-date was trying to scam the church, but we actually found out he's chilling. His bap-date is being moved back a week though. (I'd explain more but I don't have the energy.) -Got our other friend Oscar on bap-date! "Cool, now I have 2 bap-date Oscars!"  -Que Milagro! Our friend Noemi who was on Bap-date last transfer but mysteriously fell off the face of the Earth is back! She finally found a new...

Hola ✨️World✨️ How are we doing today? If you're feeling stressed out, I want you to take a solid look at the world around you. Look at the beautiful trees, the colorful flowers, the clouds floating aimlessly above, and think about how God made it all for you, because he loves you😊 Anyways, I feel like I haven't given y'all a solid update on our friends and why I like this area so much so let me show y'all a few: Jose Manuel Gah!! He's awesome! He came to church for the first time a week before I got into this area (so like almost 6 months ago) and he has not missed a single day of church since!! (I believe the day he doesn't come to church will be the second coming) His faith has grown so much! When we first started teaching him, he believed in God, but he didn't believe in the afterlife and thought Jesus was just a really cool philosopher. Now he knows just how incredible Jesus Christ's atonement is and that he can see his mom again and ju...

Hey guys! Guess what? Transfers happened! Which mean changes happened! So, can you guess where I'm going?  Ok, on the count of 3, we'll say where I'm going: In 3... 2... 1... HURSTBOURNE!!!!😱😆💥😍 "Wait, weren't you already in Hurstbourne?" You might ask. Yep. I'm staying!!! And I'm actually so freaking happy about it!!!!! I know that God truly does answer prayers because every night during the last week of transfers I prayed to stay here!! (I also may have begged President in my interview, but hey, suggestion can be divine revelation too!) Also, mi misión madre finished the mish😭 Rip Hna Lopez! Hope you invite me to your future wedding!!! And now I feel old. I'm an orphan, I've been out 10 months, I'm the fifth oldest Hna in the mish, and we just got a new Hna who's 18 YEARS OLD!! I turn 20 in a month 😭😭  Desafío de lectura We're doing a Book of Mormon reading challenge with our friend José Manuel! We asked him when he thought...

Hola. Today for my email, I'm going to walk you through a parable of sorts. And pardon me if it sounds a little apostate at the beginning. Imagine that you're a religious person. You've grown up reading the words of ancient prophets, and you follow the commandments that they have revealed from God. It's going pretty great for you! You know that these commandments make you and others around you happy and it's awesome! Then one day, this random middle-aged hobo from some old unknown town, who was born in a barn, starts preaching that he and God are one. What?! 🤨 And he starts doing things that seem pretty contrary to what you know to be true, like doing work on the Sabbath Day, flipping tables at the Temple, and talking one on one with a lady from enemy territory *gasp* 😱 And your church leaders that you love and respect dearly are telling you that this man is evil and an abomination in the sight of God. Your first thought is, obviously, that this guy is horrible. Y...
