🎶Starting a new religionnnn🎶


Buenos tardes y'all!!

GUESS WHAT?!?! I hit 9 MONTHS yesterday!!!!! I'm HALF WAY THROUGH!!!!! WOOHOO!!!🎇😄🎉
Dang, it's flown by so fast. 

Anyways, we went to the temple today, so I don't have too much time. Here's a short rundown of what happened this week:

1) Biblebasher!!!
This one was fun because we invited this couple to learn more, and the guy's brother comes out and starts yapping to us about how the BoM doesn't make sense. We had a whole bash-off for like an hour, and afterwards the couple still wanted to learn from us!!! We have a lesson with them tomorrow jaja

2) Exchanges!!!
With Sister Fish (Hermana Pescado). We got stuck behind an ambulance for 30 minutes and watched someone get dragged onto a stretcher. Good times.

3) New Religion???
Some guy noticed we were missionaries while studying in the park and told us about his own religion that he's starting up. It's called NEWSA (I don't remember what it stands for) and it's basis was set in loving everyone and not judging them. Super sweet. The supporting murderers part wasn't though😬

4) Just found some cool elect people idk.

5)WE WENT TO THE TEMPLE!!!
I hadn't gone to the temple since the CCM and oh boy how I've missed it! I also was a temple worker before my mission, so going from visiting the temple at least once a week to literally nothing for 8 months has probably been the biggest struggle on the mission. 😭

If you haven't gone to the temple in a while, PLEASE schedule your next appointment! I promise that it will help you, no matter where you're at in life right now!
Pensamiento Espiritual 
I was reading in my "Predicad mi Evangelio" as a good ol' missionary does, and on pg. 110 I had highlighted:

"We should study things out in our minds, using the reasoning powers our creator has placed within us. Then we should pray for guidance and act upon it if we recieve it. If we do not recieve guidance, we should act upon our best judgement."

Then I had 2 quotes written on the side of that. One from my old DL Elder Monson that said:
"The purpose of our mortality is that eventually our judgement will become perfect."

Followed by one from my old Mission President's Wife Sister Mcginn that said:
"Good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from poor judgement."

Our whole purpose on Earth is to gain judgement and wisdom as perfect as our Heavenly Father's one day. Does that mean we have it now? Ha... no. We mess up. We fail. And sometimes God let's us fail so we'll know how to succeed next time. That's why God gave us agency. So we can learn, from the bad and the good.
So keep learning! Keep trying!! God knows you can do it!!! I love you guys!!

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, ...
