This week literally everyday at EXACTLY 4:00 pm it would start to pour.
It was crazy at the consistency. Summer is definitely on it's way. The
heat and humidity have gotten pretty bad but still. It even close to
what it will get. Don't get me wrong, I love every single minute of
it. Something about being soaking wet all the time either from ran or
sweat makes me feel like I'm truly living the missionary life, and I
love the missionary life. :)
Other than experiencing lots of rain, this week was pretty normal in
terms of missionary work. We are teaching 4 Venezuelan guys who are
all working to help get their families here. It's very humbling to see
what they will do to provide a better life for their wives and
children. They love the message we bring and are progressing so well!
They got so excited about the Book of Mormon and have been relating
the things they read to themselves. It's awesome. Hermana Christensen
and I are really developing a testimony of the gift of tongues. Our
language skills are RAPIDLY increasing.
I have been studying the talks from General Conference and this week I
really loved the talk by Bonnie H. Cordon titled "Trust in the Lord
and lean not" In the talk she breaks down the scripture Proverbs
3:5–6“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine
own understanding.
“In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” I
love this scripture! I have noticed that every single time I think "I
can do this, I know what to do and say," I fall flat on my face. My
tongue cannot speak or understand the language and I have no idea how
to teach. It is not about me. If I lean on my own understanding I will
fall. However, if I stay centered on the Lord, things go so much
better. Trust in the lord and lean not! I highly recommend you look up
a talk.
Hope everyone is having a great start to summer! Love you all!
Love,
Hermana Kensington Kent
Got soaked in literally the 2 second run from the car to
the church. It was exhilarating.
