Single father of one now 😢


Hola Señores y señoras! 

Wow, it's uh... been a long time. Let's do a quick catch up of what's happened these past, well, 3 WEEKS. 😬

1) We had Zone Conference! And I performed in it! Me and Hermana Carson sang "Walk with me"/ "Anda Conmigo" and Hermana Gray played the piano for it!!!

2) We got a friend on bap-date! His name's Wilfredo and he's so amazing! People already think he's a member! 

3) Found a frog! (Video is in album)

4) Had a WILD creep encounter. (I was gonna explain more in my last email, but never finished it😅) Long story short, they lied. There was not an "esposa en casa" and the phrase "Hola Mamasita" still haunts my nightmares.

5) The Kentucky Derby happened! We were originally gonna go to this cool rose ceremony thing for it with a member, but then one of our new member families called in for an emergency and we helped out with that instead. Would it have been cool to go? Yes. Do I regret going to help out the family instead? Absolutely not! The Lord loves service and I do too 🫡

6) We still got to have somewhat of a Derby celebration, though! Our members Carmen and Felipe threw a tortilla-making party! It was so fun using a tortilla press for the first time! And Felipe was literally trained by professional chefs to make the most rica comida possible!! Great time!

7) Alas, our trio has split! Hermana Carson has left me to be a single father over Hermana Gray! Except, she's still in our same District, so we see her like 4 times a week lol. 

Pensamiento Espiritual 

"This is a paradox of man: compared to God, man is nothing; yet we are everything to God. While against the backdrop of infinite creation we may appear to be nothing, we have a spark of eternal fire burning within our breast. We have the incomprehensible promise of exaltation—worlds without end—within our grasp. And it is God’s great desire to help us reach it"(You Matter to Him-Elder Uchtdorf).
Sometimes, I look at how incredible the universe is, and think to myself, "I am nothing but a spec of dust compared to everything else." 
But then I remember that God loves every single spec of dust out there, and us, the specs of dust, are divinely designed to become as glorious and beautiful as the universe itself!
Don't forget your worth.
You are a child of God.
You are everything to Him.

Love y'all! If you've made it this far, send me your favorite picture of nature that you've taken!

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, ...
