My Fourth Area!

Hola!

Wow this week was a great week!!!  We had lots going on!!  We had transfers!!!  I am now in my 4th area, Haedo!!!  It is crazy how time is flying!!  My new companion is Hermana Dayes!!  She is from Arizona!!  She will complete 6 months this month in September!!!  I am still getting to know this new area but so far I love it!!  We have great leaders!!  I am so excited to see what blessings are in store for Hermana Dayes and I this transfer.  I am so excited to find out what is in store for me to learn from Hermana Dayes and this area!! 

This week other than transfers nothing has really happened!!  Monday and Tuesday were filled with goodbyes which were not easy.  Wednesday was filled with nerves and nerves and nerves and nerves!!!!  Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday were filled with learning this new area and getting to know the new leaders that I will now be working with.  Saturday night we had a ward activity that was filled with lots and lots of games and fun!!  It was really great to get to know the ward because yesterday we had an area conference.  A lot of the speakers talked about keeping the Sabbath Day holy.  I have learned in my mission how important this is!!!  There is such a spirit in keeping the Sabbath Day holy.  When we keep this commandment we are blessed more than we can imagine!!!   

I am glad you guys saw Hermana Edwards!!!  Where are pics of you guys with her!!!  I am SO sad that you don’t have the package yet!!!!!!!!!!!!  She is great!!!!!  She gave me a necklace and some earrings before she left.  I don’t have her email address.  Can you tell her thank you from me!!!???

It has been BEAUTIFUL this week!!!  It hasn’t ever gotten super cold.  Everybody has told me that it usually is A LOT colder.  Which means, and I am nervous that this spring and summer are going to be HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I will be here for all of summer.  Summer ends March 24^th!

I LOVE this gospel and know that it is true!!!  Love and miss you all lots and lots and lots and lots!!!!!

Con amor,

Hermana Kent

Oh The Places I'll Go in Argentina!!

Well last night was the night we received the call that would tell us if we will be having changes or not.  Turns out my time here in Hurlingham is finishing and I am on to my 4th area to learn what I need to learn there and to learn what I need to learn from my next companion.  I have LOVED Hurlingham!!  I am so grateful for my time here and for everything I have learned in this area and the things I have learned from Hermana Hale and Hermana Chineppe while here in Hurlingham. 

Today I complete 11 months!!  The time has gone by so fast.  I LOVE being a missionary.  It has been the best 11 months of my life.  There have been ups and downs and twists and turns but I have changed so much and learned so much.  This week we had trainings.  One of the trainings we had was about using the Book of Mormon.  I LOVE the Book of Mormon.  I know that it is true.  I know that if we read it we can become more like our Savior Jesus Christ.  I know that is the keystone to our religion.  I know that it was translated by the prophet Joseph Smith.  I know that it is true.  I know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet called by our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ to restore this gospel here upon the earth today. 

I LOVE this gospel and I know that it is true.  I know that our prophet today is Thomas S. Monson.  I know that our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ live.  I know that they love us each individually.  I know that they love us way more than we can imagine.  I know that when we obey the commandments and the covenants we have made with them they are able to pour blessings upon us.  I know that this gospel is true.  I LOVE this gospel.  I LOVE this gospel and I LOVE this gospel.   I cannot imagine my life without this gospel.   I am so grateful for my time as a missionary to be able to serve our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ.  

I love and miss you all lots and lots and lots and lots!!!!!

Con mucho amor,

Hermana Kent

 

P.S.  My camera is struggling.  I have tons of pictures to send to you as soon as I can get the internet down here to cooperate with me:(

Birthday Surprises!

Well this week was such a great week!!!!  I got to go back to Caseros for a day!!!  We had divisions this week with the sisters who work there and well off I went to Caseros!!  It was such a humbling experience to be back there after 10 months and reflect on the progress I have made these 10 months reguarding the language, my teaching abililty, and as a person!!  I have changed so much since I was first there.  

This week we had a miracle!!!  We went to visit a family who is less active and when we went we found a family who also is less active who are wanting to start coming to church again.  The wife has a little sister living with them that is not a member but wants to follow the example of our Savior Jesus Christ.  I LOVE being a missionary and seeing miracles like this everyday!!  

We also have an investigator that we are working with that came to church on Sunday.  He is progressing and we continue to pray for him.

Ummmmm how did you get a birthday package here?????????  I don't have any pictures yet because I haven't opened it and I was out voted to open it the other night and so my companion and roommates all hid it from me until Friday!  Ugggghhhhhhh between you two and Hermana Chineppee there are WAY too many surprises!!!!!!!  I cant handle it!!!  I am my mother's daughter!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you EVERYONE for the birthday wishes!!!  There were so many that I did not get to respond to you all, but I am so grateful for all the love and support that you show me.

I know this church is true.  I know that our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ live and love us very much!!  I know that they know what is happening in our lives and that we can pray and ask for help from them to keep moving from day to day.  I LOVE this gospel!!  I LOVE and miss everyone very much!!  

Thank you EVERYONE for the birthday wishes!!!  There were so many that I did not get to respond to you all, but I am so grateful for all the love and support that you show me.

Les amo,
