here's your weekly update from the one the only sis ken! oh gosh that was stupid oh well! here we go!
well lets start off this email with bang because thats how my week started! we were able to go to TUSCALOOSA for a zone activity! that's right! T-Town!! and what did we do there?? we got to tour the stadium, the alabama stadium! it was so cool! a member works there and was able to take us around! the church has its perks yall! hahah
tuesday was Sis winter's and My 6 MONTH MARK!!!!! 1/3 of the way! i dont know what to think of that but its definitely crazy ill tell you that! and to follow up on the challenge I told yall about, sister winter and I did complete it! we both finished reading the Book of Mormon from cover to cover on our 6 month mark. i am so grateful for the opportunity I had to do so! there's nothing like reading the book to gain a testimony of it! who knew?! hahah i guess a lot of people don't and that's why we're out here. awkward. but anyways i know that the Book of Mormon is true and i invite everyone to read it. it will bless your life. It has helped me come closer to my Savior. And because of that I have felt a joy like never before. And I am so grateful for that!
general conference was this weekend which essentially is a conference where the Modern Day Prophet and Apostles speak to us and man it was just as awesome as it sounds! Sister Winter and I didn't have plans for the first session so we went to the church building and had fruit salad, bacon, and german pancakes. i mean how much better can it get?!? I think my favorite talk was by Elder Yoon Hwan Choi. He talked about not looking around but looking up. So simple but so true. he said, "“It is not easy for us to recognize the love of Heavenly Father when we look around with our temporal eyes because we see inconvenience, loss, burdens, or loneliness first. On the other hand, we can see the blessings beyond when we look up. The Lord has revealed, ‘when we obtain any blessing from God, it is by obedience to that law upon which it is predicated’” He also talk about the knowledge that we have that we can be eternal families and that is one of the anchors in my testimony as well. “It is never too late to look up to Jesus Christ,” he said. “His arms are always open to you. There are generations before us and after us depending on us to follow Christ so that we can be an eternal family of God.” I know that my family is an eternal family and i am so grateful for that knowledge!
So spring is becoming a new thing which means that every bug and its mother is out and about in the south and im not quite sure how i like that hahah. literally EVERY time we open our door at least 2-3 mosquito eaters have flown in. and i dont know what it is about the south but man they are creepy looking down here! but i will say sister winter and i are getting pretty good at catching them! if you ever need some help, who do you call?!? the mosquito-eater-busters!! (that's us)
okay well i hope yall have a blessed week!!
love always,
sister kennedy
