The PLAGUE

From the subject you can guess how this week was. haha. A horrible intestinal infection swept through the CCM. My roommates got it last week and were out for three days. Then some elders in our district got it. Hermana Lindsey and I prayed really hard that we would be okay and not get it. Our prayers were answered! We were immune to the disease. The infirmary was working overtime though to take care of everyone. Our poor roommates were so sick!!! One of the roommates threw up during the night and if you know me at all you know I do not do well with vomit. Missionary miracle though, I was able to go in and help her and take care of her and was totally fine. Okay, enough about gross intestine stuff. 

The rest of the week was amazing! Our district went to the temple again on Friday. I LOVE the temple!!!! My Spanish is getting better. It’s not great, the grammar is terrible haha, but I am getting better for sure! My companion and I are now able to go into lessons with just our scriptures! We don´t need notes anymore which helps us follow the spirit a lot better. We also taught TRC for the first time on Thursday and it was amazing! We taught 3 members and shared with them a spiritual thought about the importance of Faith. One of members lost his grandfather last week and has been having a hard time. Both my companion and I testified that because of Faith, we can know where our loved ones are. (My companion lost her mom when she was 6 years old.) 

I also have a new nickname here in the CCM. I have gotten so many Clark Kent jokes it is ridiculous. We have an elder in our district named Elder Clark and our teachers love pairing us up together. But that is not my new nickname. My new nickname is HerMAMA Kent.

 I love being a Missionary and I love the CCM! Thank you all for your prayers for the missionaries. We definitely feel them! I KNOW this church is true! I am so excited to share this amazing Gospel with the People in Florida in just over 2 weeks!!!!! The Book of Mormon is TRUE. I have loved reading it here. There is something about a mission that makes the Book of Mormon come alive. I am understanding it so much more than before my mission. I can't get enough it! I am so grateful for Prayer.

Friends, please know that Heavenly Father is there and WANTS to hear from you. I have learned to go to him for every little thing and I can't even begin to describe how close it has pulled me to my Father in Heaven.

 I hope things are well back in the Promised Land of Bountiful. Mexico is surprisingly cold and when it rains the streets don't drain so we are walking in water a lot of the time. I love you all so much! 

Love,

Hermana Kent

Mexico has these amazing cookies called Chokis
and we are obsessed.
They're pretty much Chips A Hoy

They planted poinsettias under the palm trees at the Temple
for Christmas, and it was beautiful!

The BOOK is TRUE!

My AMAZING district at the Temple!
