Hermana Kent Takes on Florida: Week 3!

Hola!!!!

First I just want to start by saying how much I LOVE being a missionary! I can't even describe how close I feel to my savior all the time!

Last Friday my district had the opportunity to go to the Mexico City Temple. I love the temple and have really missed going. Thankfully we got headphones to listen in English.

Honestly there isn't much to say. haha. Every day is the same, but every day is AMAZING! It has been pretty cold this week (didn't really expect that in Mexico). It rained a lot and the streets don't drain so we just walk through lots of water. It’s fun though. :)

Ok funny story now. So I was wearing my grey sweater and I couldn't figure out why it smelled then I saw it. A big pee stain right on the edge. That dang dog peed on my sweater. I actually laughed and wanted to cry. It made me miss him. How is he doing by the way?

The biggest thing I have learned while being here in the CCM is that we are never alone. God is ALWAYS there and is so eager to help us. I have also learned that I cannot do anything without God's help. Spanish has been a struggle but everyday I feel myself learning more and more. This past week I was getting really frustrated while trying to memorize the first vision in Spanish. Everyone else in my district had it down but for me, it just wasn't coming. That's when I realized that I was trying to do it myself. I prayed to God apologizing for forgetting Him and for not including Him. I asked for his help and it was amazing at how much better I did when i acted in Faith and leaned on my Heavenly Father.

My companion and I taught our worst lesson ever this week. We just sat there and had no idea what to say or do. We stopped working together and had some contention between us. It was crazy and terrifying how fast the spirit left. Our teacher who was acting as our investigator stopped us, told us how to fix it and asked us to re do our lesson the next day. We were so ashamed as we left. We talked things out and learned how to work together and prepare. The next day we had the most amazing lesson. The spirit was so strong and were able to work together and teach "Yael “about the Restoration and the Book of Mormon. The spirit cannot reside in contention.

The Church is true. We are children of a Loving Heavenly Father who loves us more than we could possible know. He is aware of EVERY SINGLE PERSON, no matter who you are, or what you have done, He loves you and wants to help and bless you. I hope all is well with everyone back home. I think about you guys often. We missionaries FEEL your prayers. Don't forget how powerful prayer is.

Love,

Hermana Kent
