Hermana Kent Takes on Florida: Did Someone Say Tornado?

Hello Everyone!!!

I heard Utah is still pretty frozen..... but Florida is just as bright as ever. Although Tuesday it wasn't.... Hermana Stowell and I were biking and boy the clouds got real black real quick. So we pulled off to get coverage before it started to rain. Good thing because it was BAD. It was pouring so bad and the wind was really strong. Then after

15 minutes or so it started hailing. The wind and the rain picked and it was terrifying. It was then that we opened up our weather app and saw that we were actually under tornado watch.... it's fine. We survived. We actually got stuck under a stairwell with another woman and were able to share the gospel with her. #Win.

Thursday was such an incredible and spiritual day. We had ZTM (Zone Training Meeting) and I just cried through a good chunk of it. I was asked to bear my "dying" testimony on how I have found joy in missionary work. Needless to say I bawled. Then an Elder gave a training on Becoming a consecrated missionary. It touched my heart so much. Again, there is so much Joy to be found as we consecrate ourselves to the work of the Lord. I have been blessed with so many special experiences that are sure to turn into sacred and tender memories. Then my lovely hijita who sings like a pure angel sang a song called "Thy will be done". Again- bawled. It's not about what I want. It is, has been, and always will be what He wants. The will of Lord, not mine. Therein also can joy be found.

As if this week couldn't get any more sacred, we were able to go to the temple on Friday. I LOVE THE TEMPLE!!! There is no other place on this earth that I feel happier or more at peace. I relished in the Love of my Savior and Heavenly Father. I am so grateful for the Plan of Salvation!

That night we had a lesson with an investigator. When we got there their house was in utter chaos. Their young girls were running around and we could tell the parents were at their wits end. After helping calm everything down we were able to have a super spiritual lesson about true conversion. At the end we gathered all their kids together and prayed. It was amazing how different their house felt as we left than how we arrived. They were happier and more peaceful. The gospel truly blesses families.

I love you all!!! I hope all is well and you are finding joy each day.
