"I don't believe in Satan" 🤷‍♀️


Hola ✨️World✨️

How are we doing today? If you're feeling stressed out, I want you to take a solid look at the world around you. Look at the beautiful trees, the colorful flowers, the clouds floating aimlessly above, and think about how God made it all for you, because he loves you😊

Anyways, I feel like I haven't given y'all a solid update on our friends and why I like this area so much so let me show y'all a few:

Jose Manuel
Gah!! He's awesome! He came to church for the first time a week before I got into this area (so like almost 6 months ago) and he has not missed a single day of church since!! (I believe the day he doesn't come to church will be the second coming)
His faith has grown so much! When we first started teaching him, he believed in God, but he didn't believe in the afterlife and thought Jesus was just a really cool philosopher. Now he knows just how incredible Jesus Christ's atonement is and that he can see his mom again and just... gah!! Church doctrine is so cool!!
Jose Manuel has denied bap-date twice, but we've been working with him through the things he's worried about and he's been progressing so much! And the Book of Mormon reading challenge we started with him has been going great!
Other random things:
He's a total nerd (YASSSSSS) We nerd out over fantasy book series and one time during English class I helped him translate the Avatar: Last Airbender intro from spanish to English jaja

Julieth


Ok, story time!

Out of the blue, we got a random text from someone asking if we could teach their daughter. Obviously we were confused, so we tried looking up the number in our PMG App and... nothing. 
So we texted this lady, found out her name is Evelyn, and that she's not a member, but just wants her 13 year old daughter Ailleen to be taught the Gospel.
So we come over to have a lesson, and oh my gosh! She's amazing!! She's like the best younger sister I've never had! She's also a nerd, and really good at art! (Maybe one day I'll get a picture of her works idk.)
They also said that they were taught by missionaries in this area in the past, but one day they just stopped coming. After this lesson, we did some searching, and managed to find her dot, ( because Ailleen actually goes by her middle name Julieth), but we're still confused as to why she was stop taught. Like, literally her timeline was like: cool lesson- cool lesson- stop taught 🙁
Either way, she's been coming to church ever since we've started teaching her! And every visit is kinda funny, because we teach the lesson in spanish, but afterwards we have lunch with her and nerd out in english jaja

Oscar


I talked about him a bit last time, so I won't go super in detail, but he's also awesome! And he's on bap-date!!😆
His testimony is seriously so strong, and any doctrinal thing you bring up with him he'll just find a scripture that matches it perfectly!!

-Had a friend say they don't believe Satan exists because everyone just blames the bad things they do on him and don't take accountability for their own actions. Kinda fair. But everyone has the choice to follow him or not, so...
-Had a pizza cook off with our District. (Me and Hna Daugherty totally won)👍
-Uh, yeah

Buena suerte con la vida! Dios les bendiga!!

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...

"And I love you, random citizen"

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, ...
