What's up?😎


Hola y'all!

Fun fact: Abraham Lincoln, Johnny Depp, Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson, AND Tom Cruz are all from Kentucky!!! 

But anyways, not a crazy ton happened this week, other than...

Fecha Bautismal 
Yeah, we got our friend Adriano on bap-date for the 31st!!! It was honestly an awesome miracle because our Noche de Fútbol on Friday got canceled last minute, and we didn't know what to do. Then out of the blue, Adriano texts us asking if we can have a lesson! We had been planning to put him on date on our next lesson, but things just kept on falling through. So we knew that this was a chance that the Lord gave us and we took it!!

El Domingo 
This Sunday (as in yesterday) was, what I would consider, the PERFECT missionary day! You see, normally most days on the mission are kind of mid, but then something really awesome happens near the end, or it kind of sucks, or most of it's good, but then one bad thing happens. But this Sunday, I felt good the WHOLE DAY!! 
Reasons why:
1) Our new members and our progressing friends were naturally becoming besties at church.
2) I could actually understand everything that was being taught at church.
3) Our progressing friends actually participated in-depth in second hour.
4) Had 3 of probably the best lessons I've ever had!
5) The 3rd lesson was with our other friend on bap-date (Wilfredo), and we taught him about temple work (specifically Baptisms for the dead). This was so powerful because he has had a LOT of family members pass away earlier than they should have. We asked if he had any questions, and his only one was, "How soon after I get baptized can I go to the temple?"
And we told him probably as soon as 2 days after. His eyes immediately lit up and the spirit was just SO FREAKEN STRONG YOU GUYS!!! I'm so excited for his baptism on the 24th!!!
6) Hermana Gray and I had a fuego dinner and had an amazing discussion that we accidentally stayed up a little too late talking about.

I know this doesn't sound super crazy, but it genuinely was the best day of my mission so far. And I know that they're not all going to be like that, but I'm SO HAPPY to be a missionary! I love all the people that I get to meet out here, and I love Jesus Christ!!!

Pensamiento Espiritual 
"Behold, I say unto you that if ye do this ye shall always rejoice, and be filled with the love of God, and always retain a remission of your sins; and ye shall grow in the knowledge of the glory of him that created you, or in the knowledge of that which is just and true." (Mosiah 4:12)
This scripture has become one of my favorites, because it reminds me of why I'm here, and why I'm following God. It lists our blessings plain and simple:
Everlasting joy and love
Remission of sins
Knowledge of your devine worth
Know what is the right way

I know that following the Gospel of Jesus Christ will bring all these blessings and more!!! Trust him! Have faith in him! He will guide you!!

Chow!

"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, ...
