this week was a great one! we we're able to teach a lot of lessons, meet a lot of people, and hand out a TON of Book of Mormons, which is like my favorite thing ever. we have a lot of great people that we are working with and we are excited to see how the gospel will bless their lives.
update on our cute little 8 yr old lexi! she will be baptized not this saturday but next and we are so so so excited for her!!
got to go up to Madison this week for zone conference and i absolutely LOVED it. it was exactly what i needed and honestly a turning point i feel for me. i am grateful for President and Sister Sainsbury and all the hard work they do and i just love them so much!!
plus we got to spend the night in madison since it was about 3 hours away and guess whose place i got to spend the night at?!?!? sis willy's!! ahh i've missed that girl. tender mercies from the Lord.
went tracting a lot this week and one night we were knocking doors at about 8:45pm and no one was answering and we were just about to head back to the apartment but decided to knock just a couple more till we had to go in. the very next door we knocked was on nancy's carport side door (because the front door had been covered with a hug spiderweb which occupied a huge spider. thank you but no thank you.) well she opened it right away because she was eating some ice cream for a late night snack in the kitchen. it was approximately still 80 degrees outside and so seeing us looking rough and sweaty she let us come in right away and have some ice cream with her. i mean can you say miracle or what?? it's the little things yall! anyone who knows me knows that i LOVE ice cream and i had just vowed to not eat it for a month but you guys. but i was craving some ice cream real bad and when someone offers you something you don't say no. and the Lord knew of this rule of politeness we have and so He knew i would have to eat it and so really all in all it was just a huge blessing. God is good yall. plus we got to introduce nancy to the Book of Mormon and she just loved it! we're going back to see her soon and i'll keep yall updated!
we got a call this past week from a member that is from alaska visiting his father and step-mom here in alabama. well he felt impressed to give them both a blessing due to some health problems that his dad was facing and so we were able to help get that all in order for him with priesthood members form the ward here in anniston. we were actually able to sit in on those blessings and it was probably one of the most powerful moments on my mission. I am so grateful that the priesthood authority of God has been restored to this earth and that you can see His power in simple blessings of comfort given to those in need and healing blessings given to the sick. it truly is a gift that we are able to have this priesthood in our own homes. well after that beautiful experience we all shared together we are now buddies with Judy and Sam, his parents. He has gone back to alaska and so we've decided to start hanging out with them! they are so cute and we have plans to go back and play some games with them. ahh i love them already!!
trio life is fun as always! we are just having a party!! sister humphreys showed us the other night some really intense karate moves and had both sister pond and i pinned to the ground. yall she is tiny but mighty!!
well i think that's about it for this week! i came across this video about service this past week and i think this has become my new favorite mormon message ever!! and that is saying something! just take 10 min out of your day, i know i know it's long but it is SO worth it!!
well i love yall! have blessed week! feed the missionaries, share the gospel, read the book of mormon! (i feel like those should be the new go to answers in church. im gonna make it happen!)
alright bye!!
love, sister kennedy
