Week 4: 127 Nutellas!!


Hola Amigos!
I'll try to keep this short for the Holidays!

Víspera de Todos los Santos
Halloween just happened! And even though the CCM doesn't really celebrate it, District 11B sure does! Us Hermanas rampaged through our closets trying to see who we could dress up as! We mostly dressed up as Disney Princesses (try and guess who I am from the pictures) and Hermana Fisher dressed as a Disobedient Elder (with a little scruff and all.) It was hilarious! We had a great time!
That night, we went “trick or treating” around the other Casas with the rest of our District. It was kinda reverse because we were the ones giving out the treats. We had a LOT of Nutella packs. 127 to be exact. So we had a lot to give out. How did we get them, you may ask? Let's just say it involved a lot of smuggling (in a legal way). 

Dia de los Muertos
The day after was the Day of the Dead! Yay! We got to watch Coco that night, which was so fun!
Our Spanish teacher gave us Pan de Muertos and that stuff is muy bien! Would eat 20 more times!
This day also got me thinking a lot more about Family History Work! If you'll get a chance, look into more stories about your ancestors!

Responsabilidad
Mi Compañera and I got called as Sister Training Leaders! I hope I can be as awesome as our last ones!

Un Amigo
My friend Hermana Brady just got to the CCM! I saw her for the first time in like 3 weeks on Halloween! I love having her here!

Pensamiento Espiritual
This Sunday I read Uchtdorf's talk titled “The Love of God” and he said something that really stuck out to me:
“...oh, how we need to love God! 
For what we love determines what we seek. What we seek determines what we think and do. 
What we think and do determines who we are—and who we will become.”

Fin
If you made it this far, tell me something fun that you did for Halloween or Dia de los Muertos!

Hasta Luego!

"Ayer es historia, mañana es un misterio, pero hoy es un regalo. Eso es por que se llama el presente."- Master Oogway (and apparently our DL's grandma.) Hola guys! A lot happened this past week so let me cut to the chase: Compañeras nuevas!!!! Transfers happened a little over a week ago! I'm staying here in Lexington and I got 2 new comps!! Hermana Stiglich and Hermana Schaffer! They are literally so awesome! I love them so much!! Hermana Stiglich played Soccer in highschool and knows a lot about musical theatre, so we vibe over that a lot! And Hermana Schaffer is super freaking cracked at Spanish! She already knew a lot before her mission because she has a boyfriend from Columbia!! So she tells us a lot of cool spanish facts that I never heard of before! She was also a firefighter, so she's got some EPIC stories from that! El Éxito (success) Not only are my comps fun to talk to, but they're also CRAZY good missionaries! We re-organized how we contact people a...

Holaaaaaaa Not a crazy ton happened this week, but here's a list for y'all: ♡Mini golfing with the frenchies (french elders) on P-day!!! Got 3 holes in 1!!!  ♡EXCHANGES!!! With Sister Higley!! She's super great!! English work isn't though :( ♡At the food bank we volunteer at, there's this guy that only ever wants bacon. We named him the Bacon Man. Then we found out that his name was Joe. He's Joe the Bacon Man, wanted in two states. (I will not explain that second part any further.) ♡What's the most famous thing about Kentucky? KFC? WRONG! It's the Kentucky Derby of course!! Which happens to be in my area! They have this special event called Thunder over Louisville that we got to go to! It's basically a fair by the Ohio river!! ♡We have this one new member named Jero that is very picky with getting along with people. You have to basically earn his trust in order for him to pay you any attention. For a while, he hasn't bothered trying to talk or l...

Hola hola! Sorry I missed last week. It won't happen again... probably. Elder Caussé Last Saturday we had a mission tour from none other than our brand new apostle... ELDER CAUSSÉ!!! Woot woot!  For the past month, since we got the news, everyone had been absolutely freaking out about this. I mean, he's one of the 12! But as the mission tour commenced, we quickly found out something even better about this man- he's just a normal wholesome dude!  When he started his talk, he literally just whipped out a bunch of wholesome jokes, and you could immediately see the absolute joy this man had in his life! Also, since us Hermanas were in the front row, he said, "Hola! Buenos tardes!" And spoke a little in spanish, which was an awesome surprise! Bro's trilingual, I guess.  You could also see how excited he was when he said, "This is my first mission tour!" *looks around* "Wow! This is awesome! I hope I don't say anything dumb!" He, ...
