did you know that sometimes mission can be rough? no? well they can and this week was one of those rough moments. but all is well because we can do hard things.
we got to do some service on our exchange with our stls (leaders) in bessemer at sheila's house and the bessemer elders too. we cleaned out pickle buckets with bleach, thank goodness or else i don't know how else you could get rid of the smell. i mean i'm all for pickles but man that smell was something else, and also helped clean out her garage which was filled to the brim with all her pottery creations. it was so cool! she is so talented and im so glad we got to help her out! she also made us some peach cobbler and had us all crackin' up over the dinner table! she started tellin' us yo mamma so ratchet jokes, and i was just dying. it was hilarious.
we went to a senior center this week to try to recruit some volunteers. key word try. anyways...
got to eat dinner with the martineaus on wednesday! i love that family yall, words cannot describe.
oh i got a call from my southern mama, sister glenn. literally made MY.WHOLE.WEEK. ps shout out to brother glenn for having her call a second time it was perfect timing!
we got a gallon of blue bell and its already gone. and the crowd goes wild.
were too scared to drink our tap water cause of past experiences and we ran out of water bottles yesterday and it was quite the trial cause you know we couldn't just go out a buy a water bottle but we made it through. #blessed
stayed up saturday night to write a talk i was giving in sacrament meeting the next day. procrastination at its finest y'all. then had to get up early for all the meetings, got to the church and found out i wasn't scheduled to talk until may 28th. what a time to be alive. so if anyone needs a talk about about prayer, i got one all written up for ya. i guess ill share a part from it. short and sweet and to the point:
Nephi writes, "I cry unto my God in faith, and I know that He will hear my cry." Nephi is always a great example of faith and shows the comfort that is can bring into our lives. Are we able to declare with Nephi, "I know that He will hear my cry"? ill just leave that with ya to ponder on for this week!
I hope y'all have a blessed week!
love always,
sister kennedy
