Miracle Friday

Feliz Marzo!!

We got our transfer news! Hermana Curbelo and I will be staying here in Solano, and Hermana Morgan is being transferred to another area. I'm excited to stay in Solano for another transfer. I truly love this area with my whole heart. The people are incredible! 

On Friday, we went to a library in our area to do our language study. As we were leaving, a man came up to us and asked what church we are from. We started talking to him and explained a little bit about what we believe. His name was Ramon, and he spoke English. He said that he had actually been searching for religion, and asked if we had a Bible. We only had Bibles in Spanish, but we had a Book of Mormon in English. We asked if he would be interested in one, and he said yes! We gave him one and gave him our number. We invited him to start reading, and he said that he would give us a call! Later in the day, we went to Barnles and Noble to do our companionship study. As we were leaving, a man walked up to us and said that he noticed our missionary tags. His name was William. He spoke Spanish, and asked us to share a message with him. We shared a quick version of the Restoration of the Gospel, and he said that he wanted to learn more! He didn't know when a good day would be for a visit, so we got his number and told him that we would call him. It was amazing! God truly is so mindful of each of His children. He made sure that we were in the right place at the right time for Ramon and William. 

Our bishop's daughter was baptized last Saturday. It was amazing to be there for her baptism. They are such a cute family!!

During a few lessons that we had with some ward members recently, they said that they feel bad that they can't keep all of the commandments perfectly. They feel unfaithful to Christ. As I was reading in Following Christ last week, it talked about how faithfulness does not equal sinlessness. We are mortal, which means that we will sin. God knows this. That's why repentance is part of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Being faithful does not mean being perfect. To be faithful means to be loyal to Christ above all else. We invited the members in our ward to remember that repentence is a commandment. Therefore, as long as we repent, we are keeping the commandments. As long as Christ comes first in our lives, we are considered faithful. Please never forget this! He loves you, and He is always there for you with outstretched arms. 

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...
