B-day on a P-day LET'S GOOOOOO💥


Hola Y'all! As the title states, today is my Birthday!!! Or cumpleaños, if you will.

So I'll give y'all a fast run down of what happened these past w weeks along with some lovely pictures:

-We went to a ✨️wedding✨️ They are mawwaged now. (Now go watch Princess Bride for me, will ya?)
-We helped Noemi move!!!! And found out by lovely miracle that our car can fit 2 QUEEN SIZED BEDS!!!! It took a lot of praying... and shoving. Then we drove it there, and accidentally took them up 3 flights of stairs before we realized her apartment was actually the other building😅
Also we finally got a picture with her!! She's awesome!!
-We went on exchanges with STLs and it kinda became a Blitz because while knocking in English work we only found latinos jaja. And we had a member meal with a gal who had a cat named Obi-Wan Kenobi (video is in album)

-Found the biggest frigging non-churanchula spider I've seen in my entire life🤢


I hope y'all can tell how big that is

-We invited our friend Julieth to get baptized and she said yes 😆 and then we realized that we forgot to ask her mom for permission so we texted her later asking if it was OK and she said her daughter was still too young😭 She's 12!!! 

-We also invited our friend Angel to get baptized and he also said yes!!! He's so awesome! Pray for him! His Bap-date is Sept 27!!!

-Found this Arabic Book of Mormon in our apartment randomly and actually knew someone who spoke Arabic so we gave it to them jaja



-Also found a family who speaks Q'eqchi' natively (cause from Guatemala) and we discovered that they actually have a LOT of material in that language from Gospel Library! They were so happy when they heard the Book of Mormon in the language they know best! (It sounds so cool.)

-Meeting and teaching lots of elect people


Pensamiento Espiritual

I just get so amazed at how many languages the Book of Mormon is translated in! And now that I know a second language and have had to translate for people on the mish, it makes me realize just how much time and thought is put into translating an entire ancient writing! And it reminds me of this good ol' scripture:

"For my soul delighteth in plainness; for after this manner doth the Lord God work among the children of men. For the Lord God giveth light unto the understanding; for he speaketh unto men according to their language, unto their understanding"(2 nephi 31).
This is why God sends missionaries to speak spanish in the middle of the United States. It doesn't matter if these people already know or need to know English; God wants them to hear it, read it, and feel it in a language that is their home. 

El Fin
Anyways, hope y'all have a great labor day! Do something fun! I'll be at the Zoo!!
And if you've made it this far, tell me about your favorite birthday memory😊

Las quiero!!

"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, ...
