BAPTISM #3!!!!!💦🌊


Holaaaaaaaa

How is everyone? Good? Good. I'm pretty good too. Because...

EL BAUTISMO!!!!
Yes!!! Wilfredo finally got baptized! And although there were some complications *cough* our person that was supposed to give the talk on baptism didn't come so we had to find someone last minute *cough*, it was absolutely amazing! Wilfredo was glowing the whole time! And he bore such a powerful testimony! After the baptism he thanked me and Hermana Gray for helping him get off his coffee addiction and he said he would love to keep in contact after our missions too!! He's so awesome!!

Otras cosas
Here's some other things that happened Idk:

-Exchanges!! I got to go English with our new STL Sister Gaupali! She's so cool! She's from American Somoa and her father is chief of her village back home! She said in her own words "I'm the living Moana bro."
-CRAZY tons of rain! Like, CRAZY
-Found Books of Mormon in BRAILLE!!! (Video in album)
-Had dinner with one of our new members that we lost contact with!! Go Sheilin!!!

Pensamiento Espiritual 
"Thou didst hear me because of mine afflictions and my sincerity; and it is because of thy Son that thou hast been thus merciful unto me, therefore I will cry unto thee in all mine afflictions, for in thee is my joy; for thou hast turned thy judgments away from me, because of thy Son."(Alma 33:11).

I always love the saying that God is the God of Justice, and Jesus Christ is the God of Mercy. Through each of them, the laws of Justice and mercy can be made for all of us. 
This scripture ties this concept in so well. As we pray to God and repent daily through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, God will "turn [his] judgements away from" you. Your guilt and pain will be swept away as you feel the love and forgiveness that God has for you.

Love y'all!!! Stay safe out there!! Send a funky selfie!

"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, ...
