It is crazy how fast time goes by! Before I know it I will be on a plane to Salt Lake City! I love being a Missionary and I love this amazing Gospel!
Well it has only been a few days since I last emailed so I
really don't have that much to say. Our P-day got switched to Wednesday this
week because Friday we have lots of pre-field Classes. I think it is about 12
hours in a classroom. We have 3 1-hour breaks and that’s it...... I am way
excited.... haha.
Mexico is beautiful! The CCM has put Christmas lights on all
the Palm trees and planted Poinsettias (I apologize for my spelling). It feels
super weird walking around in the End of November without a coat or anything. I
miss the look of snow but definitely do not miss being cold.
We have this investigator named Yael. (It’s really just our
teacher) We have been teaching him for about 3 weeks and he is very hard on us.
He rarely keeps commitments. This week he told us he no longer wanted to be
baptized and that he had started drinking again. We were devastated!! We shared
with him some scriptures and prayed that he would receive a confirmation that
the church was true. The next lesson he told us he had gone and visited his
parents in Veracruz to sort some stuff out and went with them to their catholic
church. As he was sitting in church he had a change of heart and realized that
the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints was true. He realized he didn't
need to know everything, but if he had faith that would be enough. He told us
he wanted to be baptized and he knew that he wanted to be a part of this
Gospel. He bore a very simple and sweet testimony. I was so happy!!!! The
Gospel truly changes lives.
I apologize for the
short letter but there really isn't much to say! haha. My next email will be
from Florida!!! I am so excited to serve my Lord and Savior and to meet the
people He has been preparing to hear His Message. This Church is true! I love
not having to focus on anything but the Savior and His work. I have learned to
rely on Him so much! I am so grateful for the Atonement. The Book of Mormon is
true! I have felt like I have been reading a completely different book since
being here. There are endless amounts of answers and comforting messages. READ
IT!!!!! I love you all so much and hope all is well.
Love,
Hermana Kent

I'm jealous of the weather she's enjoying. It's great to read her experiences. It sounds like she's doing awesome. Thanks for sharing.
