this week was a fun one! we laughed so much! man i have just loved serving with sister durbin. sadly we got the call on saturday night telling us that she will be leaving. ughhhhh but that's okay because she will be headed to my one of my favorite spots EVER alex city!!!! (glenns take care of her for me!!) i KNOW she is going to love serving there! i got the news that instead of having a new companion i will be getting 2! so i will now be a trio! im super excited and feel like it'll just be a party the whole time! still dont know how were going to fit 3 beds in our "house" so we will see. praying our housing coordinator is just like "okay ill move yall"... a girl can dream.
we have had so many solid investigators just appear from out of nowhere and we have really been able to see how God truly does prepare people. literally had 4 different people come up to us and say i want you to teach me! 3 of them are 9 yr olds and the other an adult form a part member family! we are SO excited to start teaching them!! literally miracle after miracle i swear.
at a member meal and ask the little kids if they've seen spongebob and the family goes not we dont watch this show. so me being the smart person i am goes "really? not even the movie?? you know the one that goes (and proceeds to sing) *im a goofy goober ya you're a goofy...goo...ber??..." DEAD SILENCE YALL the mom just looked at the grandma the grandma just looked at the mom and i swear you could hear a pin drop. thank goodness sis durbin broke the ice just cracking up which got everyone to start laughing cause it was just so dang awkward. moral of the story dont sing spongebob songs at member meals.
currently have 5 dead cockroaches just laying around our house cause were too lazy to clean them up after all the effort we put into killing them. i know were gross. sue us.
got to bring Olivia, our cute little investigator to a fireside last night in Birmingham which Brother Holmes, the General Young Men President over all the church spoke at! it was so cool and super inspiring! his whole discussion was about asking God questions and how to receive answers! like perfect for someone who is praying to ask God if the church is true! he saw that us a s missionaries were there and came right up to us after wards and said, "where is the person you are with here tonight? i want to meet them" He then went out of his way to meet olivia and talk to her and she was just awe-struck! she just kept saying "this person just shook m hand and he talks to the prophet face to face!!!" shes a cutie!!
also since it was a fireside I got to see some of my favorite families form columbiana there!! got to say hi to the sadlers and the thompsons! oh how ive missed those people! yall you literally leave a little piece of your heart in every place you serve. sounds cheesy but its true so oh well.
saturday night a cockroach flew into my bed and after jumping into sister durbins bed it flew onto her covers. after we got enough courage to run out we chased that flying demon around our room for 20 min before we killed it. its guts are still over our carpet as a sign to all the other ones to not mess with us. were so over this. im even over talking about them every week and yet the fear is still so real ughhh. that night we only ended getting 3 1/2 hours of sleep before we had to get up and go speak in church. we were zombies! but our talks went well so i say thats a success for us!
blew all what was left of our money this week of roach spray and family sized tator tots from sonic so i would say money well spent.
sister durbin showed me this video this week and i absolutely LOVE it. it's sad but the faith she truly has in her Savior is the most beautiful thing.
have a blessed week!
love sister kennedy
