Another Good Week in Kentucky!

Well it has been another good week in Kentucky, Hna H and I did some exchanges this last week so I wasn't in my own area much this week. We also had a zone conference on the things that we learned in MLC (mission leadership council) a few weeks ago. 

Oh I had some of the best news ever this last week, so I get on Facebook and I see a post
from Lonnie that is announcing his baptism on April 12th
ahhhhhhhhh I am so excited for him and his family.  I also heard some other good news from Jennifer this week. I can't remember if I told y'all about this family, but they are Methodists and we have been teaching them for the last 5 or so months in Manchester. Jen sent this messages to me on Facebook.


"This is random, but I took a survey today at the doctors and it asked
what my religion is. At first I was going to check Methodist...then I
saw the LDS box and I put that I was LDS. Thanks for all you have done
to get me to that point. I know it's a little step, but it means a lot
to me." AHHHH.

Haha Jen makes me laugh, I love her. She said that she is going to get baptized soon. And she also said that Robert her husband is going to get baptized!!  It has been nice to hear that all of the investigators that I had to leave are still doing so well in Manchester. The gospel is just so amazing and it is incredible to see so many people come to the
knowledge of the gospel. I love missionary work! There are many hard days but the good times always outweigh the hard times.

As for Hopkinsville, better known as hop-town, things here are starting to move forward. It has been hard to try and get our bearings because we white washed and  Hna H. and I are rarely in our area together because of all the exchanges.  I feel bad for the sisters that come to our area because they just have to sit and do nothing while I teach in Spanish, it is also challenging to teach all by yourself.  When Hna H and I are together we do a lot of finding, and looking for Hispanic families to teach. Finding Hispanics has been quite the challenge, but we are slowly finding the Mexican hot spots in town. Most of the Hispanics that live in Hopkinsville are single men that move where the work moves. The majority of them will only live in one spot for 4 months and then they go to a different town. We found 4 or 5 families this week so our finding efforts were very successful.  We are probably doing 65% Spanish work in our area, we hope to hit 100% eventually.

We had 3 investigators come to the women's broadcast and they liked it. One of the ladies we brought with us just got back from deployment a month ago, where she watched people die and get blown up, so we don't know if she really liked the meeting, it was a little sugar
coated for her liking, haha what can you do.  On the plus side this morning Andrea, the woman that just got back from deployment, started training Hna H and I.  Andrea used to be a personal trainer before she joined the army so she kicked our bums this morning, I almost threw up haha. I am happy about it though because she is going to help me with my
six months to sexy program, haha.

Well I love y'all and I hope to hear from you next week :)

Love
Hermana Ayre
