the courthouse has been going great and we are getting more and more volunteers everyday! Clem took us to meet some more people of the community and we got to sit down with the preacher of both the baptist and methodist church! hopefully we will be able to work together more and continue to grow our volunteer list! were really looking forward to that!
we had interviews with President this week and had our exchange with our STLs in Bessemer the same day! So Pres and Sister Sainsbury drove us to Hoover but the STL's were running a bit behind so we got to go eat at this cute little BBQ place in Columbiana with them. And then our STl's were still running a little late so we got to chill with them at the mission home for an hour! It was so fun spending the afternoon with them! I just love them so much!! And plus their home is like just super filled with the Spirit it's tangible just sitting in their living room! they are just the best!
And that then leads into our exchange with the STL's! We pent the night in Bessemer and then woke up and was able to go to their Relief Society party. It was so cute and i just loved being there! They had breakfast burritos and minute to win it games. Like how much better can it get?! After that we were able to split up and go teach quite a few people and Sister Trepanier (she went to U of A. Bear Down cat! :) and I got to invite a couple to be baptized on the 28th of April and they said yes! I love being a missionary and asking that question! You literally ask people if they would like to follow Jesus Christ! I just love being that instrument in the Lord's hands. After that we got caught walking in the rain since the others had the car. i think my shoes are still wet but thats alright! Because to end the exchange we got chic-fil-a! Like best exchange ever!!
After we got back we went to the Harmons and watch the General Women's Conference and it was incredible!! I loved about how Linda K. Burton talked about the certain women in the bible. they were certain because they were certain in their testimony. And i just love that!
She talks of Martha when she says,“following the death of her brother, Lazarus — Martha, the beloved disciple and friend of the Lord, declared with what must have been great emotion, ‘Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.’ Consider her certainty as she continued, ‘But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee.’ She further testified, ‘I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world’ (John 11:21–22, 27).” How certain is she in her testimony. I am striving everyday to become more firm in my testimony and i invite yall to do the same! I also invite you to watch General Conference this weekend. What better way to prepare for Easter?!
Sunday was one of the best Sacrament meetings I've been to when a man and wife just talked about the stroke he went through and his journey back. The topic was how the Savior stands by us in times of trial and how true is that! I know that is true and i bear testimony of it!
PS treid to make banana pudding and thought we wouldn't have enough so we made 2 batches which ended up tasting like the worst thing in my entire life and now we have 24 servings of nasty tasting banana pudding just sitting in our fridge. lol send help. i guess that's what you get when you try to be southern and your not. hahah but then when i asked a good southern cook about how we should make it at the RS activity she was all like, "Oh honey! we just use the jello stuff and put cool whip on top of it." so there you have it! the real southern trick hahah
Also i dropped my tapito out of the fridge and saw my life flash before my eyes as the whole bottle busted open. it was sad day. but dont worry cause i bought a new travel size one and i can carry it in my backpack to all my dinner appt! hahah
Well i love yall and hope that you have a blessed week!
love sister kennedy
