sorry for no weekly last week. we went hiking and afterwards tried to e-mail but the computer we were using stopped working :( so here is a quick recap of what i was going to send last week:
jasmine a cute teen in our ward went out with us to go teach some people and it was SO MUCH FUN! she is so cute and has an awesome testimony and is preparing to go on a mission after high school so it was fun to kind of show her the ropes a bit!
got to spend a lot of time with members this week whether it was on team ups or dinner appt and i just loved it! i love this ward they are all so cute and nice and amazing! we were talking with this dude whose been a member for the last 10 years so kind of recent and my favorite line of the night was when he said, " oh no you have to quit drinking tea. you only get eternal life in return. you poor thing." hahah
found the biggest cockroach yet in our bathroom and then we LOST IT. so we pent the next 30 min getting decked out with the essentials and went back into the trap until we found it and killed it. i will say we are getting pretty good at this roach thing. gross
there was a cloud that looked like a floating mountain so of course i took a picture of it
found a cute sign on a tree so of course we had a photo shoot with it
there was a pretty sunset last night
i needed a change so i chopped off my hair. oh well it'll grow back
had interviews with president yesterday. man this transfer went by fast.
looked our keys in the car in a sketch part of town at night. props to sis ken. but by some miracle the front door that had been totally locked, magically opened and we were saved. God is good yall.
lately idk yall but i can't talk for junk! i trip over my words and just can't say what i'm thinking and it's kind of frustrating when the one thing you do all day everyday is talk to people. sis durbin thinks i need to start doing language study every morning. for english. lol. oh well i just keep thinking in my head, "Exodus4:10 And Moses said unt
so i guess that wasn't that short of a recap oh well! well here's what happened this week:
so like i said we went hiking with our district and sister anderson up in cheaha, a really cool hiking spot here in alabama! and we went up to this super old chapel in the middle of the forest which was pretty cool! well off in the distance we heard thunder and after seeing the church we were all hanging around outside it when we were joking about "what if we got struck by lightning blah blah blah" and all that dumb stuff just making up scenarios with each other. After that conversation got done with, an Elder pulled an Uncle Rico and said "watch how far i can throw this rock!" so he throws it and i kid you not when the rock hit the ground, 25 ft. away LIGHTNING STRUCK! it was the loudest thing of our entire lives and lasted for what seemed like forever. we just all ran around not knowing where to run to and just kind of in a shock just not knowing what to do. after we stopped running around like maniacs we all just went back into the church and sat there for like 5 minutes in silence. we then decided that we should leave so we said a prayer and headed on out. nothing much happened after that but man still crazy to think about. the fact that it didnt hit one of us or a tree that would've splintered off is a miracle for sure. God is good yall.
the Book of Mormon play is coming to Birmingham next transfer so that's gonna make for some fun stuff... if you couldn't tell that was the most sarcastic thing of my entire life. ughh.
on thursday night we stopped by the church to enter some missionary info and went back outside to our car and realized i left the keys inside the church, inside the family history library. ugh. so we went to go call someone and realized sister durbin left the phone in the car. which was locked. so it's dark now and we went all around the church trying to find an open window, but man they lock these places up good. so we proceeded to go tracting, door to door, until we found someone who would let us use their phone! thankfully it didn't take too long but man what a day.
oh and did i mention i got a huge chunk of bird poop on my hand while trying to open a window? no? okay just thought i should make it known.
had a man in his talk during sacrament tell the ward how this mormon dude on the radio who probably had a better testimony that the missionaries *as he gestures to us* like what?? hahah
well it might not be better than the dude on the radio but it's my own testimony and that's what matters. i know this church is true. i know that Christ lives and is at the head of His church. The book of Mormon is the word of God, alongside the Bible. Never does one replace the other and i know that is the way God intended it to be. I feel it deep within me that this is what is right and I'm grateful to be out here helping others find this out for themselves. If you'd ever be interested to know for yourself, just ask a member or a missionary. i promise you that if you ask God for yourself, He will make it known to you. and that is not i promise i make lightly. *james 1:5-6*
okay well i hope yall have a blessed week and stay safe! try not to get stuck by lightning!
love always
sister kennedy
