Rhett

Hola familia!
I hope it’s all good up there. Time is flying by so fast it’s crazy, I seriously can’t believe I only have one week left in the mission. It honeslty makes me sad thinking I’m gonna be leaving behind all these people that I have come to love so much. Really I'm so grateful to be a missionary, it really has been the best two years and I have come to know my Savior and brother Jesus Christ so much more. It hasn't been easy but through the sacrifice and hard times I have seen how the Lord has been able to make me into a better person and instrument in His hands to find and save His children. Really I know that the gospel is true and allows us to make changes.

I HAVE been able to see that with Romina. She is really changing and growing a love for the gospel and desire to follow Christ. It makes me so happy to see that! She has a really busy life so that made it a little tough to follow but she has the faith and is praying that God will help her follow the path. She had a baptismal date for this week but wasn't able to come to church unfortunately so will probably be baptized later down the road. Also this week Brother Piriz showed his faith and walked all the way ro church with his son! If you rememeber he is the man that we passed when he was working in his yard and then turned to talk to him. He is now quitting smoking and came to church on Sunday. He still has some obstacles to face to be baptized but he wants to change and I can see his progress. How awesome is that! Through Christ and His gospel we all can ALL change. It doesn't matter who we are or where we live, He is there, we just have to show our faith and act. But it’s 
been a great week and this last week there is still more for me to do. This is the Lords work! Love you all

Trent - 1 week left!!

Hola Everyone!!

Man I haven’t written in so long! Sorry! Love and miss all of you! Wow the time has passed by so fast. This has been the greatest experience of my life by far. Nothing even comes close. I’m so privileged to be a servent of Jesus Christ every day and all day! I love this work.

We had such a great experience on Saturday. We were walked around in a neighborhood because we had a few appointments there but they all fell through so we were kind of just walking around and talking to everyone we saw and I felt this small impression telling me to turn left. We did and we saw this woman with one leg in her yard with her daughter and we said hi and just kind of kept walking because we usually don't talk to single woman who are kind of young. Right when we passed, I felt, “No, go back". So we went back and started talking to her and she was so prepared for our message that we shared. We answered all her questions and taught the message of the restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ. When we testified that God has called a prophet to restore what was lost and that the Book of Mormon was the word of God, the Spirit just came upon all of us so strongly. I literally felt Him testifying of the truthfulness of my words. It was such a powerfull experience! I’m so grateful that I followed that impression from the Spirit and could testify of the great message of the gospel of Jesus Christ to one of God’s children. It’s such a priviledge to be his servant!

I LOVE this great work. It’s the greatest thing happening on the Earth right now. Love you all! See you really soon
