there goes the missionary with the bike like always! the same awesome message to tell and share! every morning just the same since the morning that we came to this awesome little town ! good morning sisters!! good morning my fellow americans! if yall didn't know you were suppose to sing the above so good luck!
this week was awesome! we were able to do so amazing things! the courthouse has been going great and more and more people are showing up to volunteer and we just love it! we get to know them and hear stories from their life all while ditigizing documents for people to one day find their ancestors. like can it get any better?!?!
catch up on some things i missed last week!
- the restoration movie showing went so good. i mean sadly none of our investigators showed up but we had a ton of members so talk about strengthing one anothers testimony of the restoration. it was great!! and we got to eat a lot of candy bonus!
- we got super bashed by this preacher about our testimonies. like come on. you can knock our church but dont try to knock our testimonies. that's just low. and that's how we kind of felt afterwards. but we know who is standing by our side so we decided to lift our spirits by taking a family picture. and it helped and people thought we were crazy but oh well! those crazy mromons!! so yes we took our family picture with Jesus and it lifted our spirits!
- we had zone conference in bessemer last week and that was pretty awesome! had a mini sisters only afterwards too and it was soo cute!! i love my mission so much!
-sang sister winter the whole movie of les mis and i will say im quite proud of myself! not because i sang it horribly but because i was able to stumble my way through it and remember a little over half of the words! try being away from music for 6 months.. its a little harder than it sounds!
okay on to this week! we were able to meet a lot of people this week in the town and that was so nice! i kind of dread going door to door but also love it at the same time. you never know who your going to meet and what they're going through in life. but the best part about it is no matter what they're going through in their life can be helped by the message that we share!
we also were able to do a lot with members this week #blessed
we were able to hold an FHE in the Harmons home and it was awesome! they invited us to go see their daughter and her member friend that doesn't come to church a whole lot in the school musical Beauty and the Beast. After getting permission we were able to on Friday and it was awesome!!! the whole town was there so we got to meet a lot of people and we got to support our 2 homies from church! like how much better can it get?! I was in HEAVEN!! it took me everything to not sing along but i managed. the show was amazing and we got to meet alyssa after wards and she is just the sweetest girl ever!! but if you didn't make the connection already thats why the first little song is from beauty and the beast!
we were able to teach quite a few lessons to some kids at the apartments we went tracting at after we had some fun times playing soccer and having some dance battles (thx mom and uncle j for the idea!!) . this little kid tyrell was going at it, doing all these cool break dance moves, so i was like "oh ya watch this" and started bustin out some of my own. sis winter was too embarrassed to look at me and after going back and forth for a while i ended with one of my signature moves, where the kid who was "judging the winner" said " i never want to see that again.." that bad i guess?? hahah sis winter and i were dying hahah but we were able to talk about Jesus and that was great as always! man i love the south!! break dancing and Jesus all in one day! how much better can it get?
had some fried pickles for st. paddy's day. not your typical corn beef and cabbage but ill take it!
this week we are continuing on in our race to finish the BOM by our 6 month mark so wish us luck! Something I read this past week that I love comes out of 3rd Nephi from the Book of Mormon. in chapter 11. Jesus Christ is visiting the people in the Americas after he has been resurrected. If you've never heard about that before you should ask more about it to a missionary near you! but anyways he declares to the people in verse 10 and 11, " Behold, I am Jesus Christ, whom the prophets have testified shall come into the world. And behold, I am the light and the life of the world; and I have drunk out of that bitter cup which the Father hath given me, and have glorified the Father in taking upon me the sins of the world, in the which I have suffered the will of the Father in all things from the beginning." I love this scripture because Jesus Christ himself, boldly and lovingly proclaims The Atonement which he just went through for all of us. my testimony and the testimony of others is that the tomb is empty. Because He lives, we can too! what a beautiful and glorious message we get to share with others! im so excited for Easter to be coming up to boldly and lovingly proclaim this as well, not only now but always!
I hope that yall have a blessed week and remember that the tomb is empty!
love always
sister kennedy
