THUNDER

Hola todos! I hope that you are all doing well!

We had another exchange this week. I went to an area called La Jolla with Sister Harrop and Sister Iputi. It was Valentine's Day, so we made a bunch of hearts out of paper and wrote on them. Then we went to the houses of some single women in the ward and stuck the hearts on their front doors. That night, there was a major thunder storm. We had a visit with a lady named Elida and her husband. We taught them about the Restoration of the Gospel. The Spirit in the room was so strong! Hermana Iputi testified that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and that Joseph Smith wouldn't have been able to translate it without the power of God. Right after she finished testifying, there was a huge burst of thunder. We all just looked at each other for a second then started laughing. Sister Iputi said "God really just said TRUE." It was crazy timing. We finished teaching them about the Book of Mormon and gave them each a copy. They were so eager to start readying it! I'm excited for Sister Harrop and Sister Iputi to continue teaching them!

There is a little Mexican Ice Cream shop here called La Michoacana. Hermana Morgan loves it, so she wanted Hermana Curbelo and I to try it. It was amazing! It's so cute inside too. 

Another comanionship met a guy named Misael, and he told them that he was interested in coming to church. He lives in our area, so the missionaries referred him to us. He came to church yesterday and brought two other people with him! After church, they told us that they are going to come again next week! We are going to have a visit with them later this week to start teaching them. 

During Zone Conference, President Eyre invited all of the missionaries in our mission to read the book of Enos in the Book of Mormon every day for two weeks. Its only one chapter, and it is so powerful! I learn something new each time I read it. It talks a lot about Faith in Jesus Christ. In verses 5-8 it says
5 And there came a voice unto me, saying: Enos, thy sins are forgiven thee, and thou shalt be blessed. 6 And I, Enos, knew that God could not lie; wherefore, my guilt was swept away. 7 And I said: Lord, how is it done? 8 And he said unto me: Because of thy faith in Christ, whom thou hast never before heard nor seen. And many years pass away before he shall manifest himself in the flesh; wherefore, go to, thy faith hath made thee whole.
I love these verses. I know that we can be made whole through Jesus Christ. His Atonement makes it possible for us to have joy in this life and in the world to come. I am so thankful for Jesus Christ and His Atonement. I invite you all to read Enos and do something this week to strengthen your faith in Jesus Christ. I know that he loves each one of you and wants you to be happy. 

I love you all!

Con Amor, 
Hermana Kendrick

The Power Of The Book Of Mormon

¡Hola amigos y familiares! It was a busy week with Zone Conference and lots of lessons with our friends. There is so much work to do in this area and its awesome!  Our friend Blanca and her two kids, Ashley and Gael, told us that they want to be baptized but aren't quite ready to set a date. Blanca is a little nervous about being baptized because her extended family isn't very supportive of her wanting to join our church. We had one of our lessons with Blanca at the Laytons house, and the Laytons did an amazing job of responding to some of her worries. We are continuing to pray that her and her kids will be ready to set a baptismal date soon.  Daniel and Marisol are doing so well! Last week, they told us that they are ready to change what they need to and commit to following Jesus Christ. They come to every church activity and refer to the branch members as their family. It has been so neat to see how quickly they connected with the branch, and now you would think that they...

I Made It To Phoenix!

Hola everyone! I made it to Phoenix! My mission President and his wife (President and Sister Eyre) are amazing! I already love them so much. My companion is Sister Farnsworth. She's great! She's been serving for 14 months, so her Spanish is really good. She does most of the talking in our lessons haha.  When I was getting ready to leave the MTC, the wheels on one of my luggages broke. Two of the guys working at the reception desk tried to tape them on for me. Needless to say, the airport was an interesting experience. Before I left the MTC, I received a priesthood blessing from one of the Elders in my district. During the blessing, the Spirit in the room was so strong. I know that the words the Elder said were from God. I was able to feel the comfort I needed before coming to Arizona. I am so thankful for the priesthood and priesthood blessings. I know that priesthood power truly is from God.  My final devotional at the MTC was a video of Elder David A. Bednar. He talked about...

Be In The World

Hola a todos!  I hope that you're all doing well! We had another lesson with the Romero family and they are doing so well! Their goal this year as a family is to come to all of the branch activities. They have lots of friends in the branch and the members have been great at helping them feel welcome. We have been praying hard for the Romero family to open up more, and every lesson it seems like they feel a little more comfortable with us.  Last week was Zone Conference week, and President Fisk introduced a new mission initiative called "the lost coin." As a mission, we started teaching quite a few people last year but only a small percentage of them ended up getting baptized. This year, we are going to focus more on using the tools that we have to find those who were taught by missionaries last year and in years passed. Then we are going to check up on them and see how we can help them to continue learning. We have lots of amazing tools as missionaries and it will be awes...
