I'm an orphan


Hey guys! Guess what? Transfers happened! Which mean changes happened! So, can you guess where I'm going? 

Ok, on the count of 3, we'll say where I'm going:

In 3... 2... 1...

HURSTBOURNE!!!!😱😆💥😍

"Wait, weren't you already in Hurstbourne?" You might ask.

Yep. I'm staying!!!

And I'm actually so freaking happy about it!!!!! I know that God truly does answer prayers because every night during the last week of transfers I prayed to stay here!! (I also may have begged President in my interview, but hey, suggestion can be divine revelation too!)

Also, mi misión madre finished the mish😭 Rip Hna Lopez! Hope you invite me to your future wedding!!!

And now I feel old. I'm an orphan, I've been out 10 months, I'm the fifth oldest Hna in the mish, and we just got a new Hna who's 18 YEARS OLD!! I turn 20 in a month 😭😭 


Desafío de lectura
We're doing a Book of Mormon reading challenge with our friend José Manuel! We asked him when he thought he could finish and he was like, "1 month." 
And we were like "Buddy, you need to read it to understand it too!" 
And he was like, "Yeah, I know."
The only reason why we're sticking with it is because José is an AVID READER. His favorite fantasy book series is five books long, each 1,000 pages and he read the whole thing in a week and a half! 
And I'm doing it with him, which means I'm reading 15 pages of the BoM a day, half in English, half in spanish. Wish me luck🫡

I also painted him a Book His favorite flowers are roses.

Maná de los Cielos
We just got a new friend who's literally manna from heaven! He was a referral from Facebook and we found out that he has been taught a LOT from missionaries in the past. He moves a lot for work, but has sought out missionaries everywhere he's went! 
So we scheduled a lesson and had our Branch Pres as an mpl, and HOLY COW!! He's literally so amazing!! We would be explaining something and then he would be like, "Actually, the reminds me of a scripture in the BoM! Can I share it with you guys?" And proceeds to share the best scriptures ever! He also explained baptism SO PERFECTLY! Like, better than I ever could!
That's when Hna Daugherty and I looked at each other and knew that we had to put this guy on Bap-date. So we took a quick sneak-peak at our calender while Prez was sharing his testimony, and afterwards we invited him to get baptized August 30th! He happily accepted!😆
 
Pensamiento Espiritual 
Just read 2 nephi 2 and "Forget Me Not" by Elder Uchtdorf and get back to me cuz they're awesome.

Y'all are always so majestic! I love you guys! If y'all had a miracle that happened this week, big or small, let me know! Cuénteme!

Hasta Pronto!

"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, ...
