hey yall! You know it's been a good week when you don't know which line to put as your weekly title because they're all just so good!
well first things first Olivia came to church YAY!!! and absolutely loved it! we still aren't able to set a bap date due to extended family that doesn't want her to be baptized but oh well! she loves the gospel and everything about it and can't wait for the day she actually gets to be baptized! she talks all about "when i get baptized..." and i love it. ahh i love her so much!
we had our third lesson with johnny (the 12 year old boy of the part member family) and he is getting ready for his baptism on august 12th! we are so excited for him and for what this will mean for him! we were able to have 2 of his member friends there and i think that helped so much. so grateful for this ward and for their willingness to do missionary work.
we also had a lesson with this man named melvin and we were able to bring Brother Stewart along with us. they both served in the army for 20+ years and hit it off right away. it was really cool too because bro stewart is a convert of 14 years+/- and so he was able to talk to melvin about that journey that he went through and how its very similar with he one melvin is going through right now. it was there that we found out that brother stewart got a copy of the Book of Mormon form the missionaries and 4 days later had read the whole thing. 531 pages and all. like what?! he just knew it was true from the moment he read it and couldn't put it down. brother stewart is awesome!!
had tacos at the Andersons for dinner one night and guess what hot sauce they pulled out. tapitio. i swear probably the only people in alabama who even knows what it is! it's the little things yall.
was teaching this man who told us the funniest story! he told us how he walked into work and said to this lady "good morning how are you doin today?" in which she responded, "great! I am just so blessed! how about you?" in which he responded, " im great too! the Lord has just blessed me abundantly!" to which she got this super mad look on her face and responded in a sassy way, "why you think you more blessed than i am?!? hmm?? do you think you better than me or somethin??" this man was so taken aback he said he just walked away. all of us were dyin listening to this story. only in the south yall only in the south...
store contacting in walmart and heard over the loudspeaker, "JOSEPH SMITH TO THIS AREA. I REPEAT JOSEPH SMITH TO THIS AREA" i mean is that not a sign to join the mormon church or what?!? i mean when you here the prophet's name at walmart it has to mean that it's all true. it has to.
hit my 10 month mark on friday. man that's weird. only 8 left. that's sad. anyway moving on we got krispy kreme to celebrate so it wouldn't be too sad so yay for a dozen donuts from the best place ever (besides buttercream of course! if anyone knows how and would like to send me a custard filled maple bar with bacon on top from there, feel free to. im just sayin)but ya got donuts from krispy kreme and its like i could almost here blake in the background going "you should get another dozen just for me!"
knocked on a door, they answered and quickly said "no thank you we believe in the true gospel" *slams the door* literally i cant help but laugh so hard when door slams occur like this!
we've been teaching this one lady named louvenia and she has the CUTEST daughter ever! shes about 5 and every time we come over she answers the door (oh her name is zekorea by the way! like how cute is that!! her mom really like the name korea but wanted to add a little somethin more to it and so from thence comes the name zekorea) but yes! every time we come by she answers the door and yells up the stairs "MOMMM THE BOOK CLUB IS HEREEE!" ahh i just love it every time! if and i do say so myself, i think our book club is the best.
Jesus is the Living Christ! The Book of Mormon is true! His gospel is restored on the earth! How grateful am i for this knowledge!! fun video to watch for the day or for FHE! The description for this video goes : Don’t let the whirlwinds drag you down. These are your days—to stand strong as disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ.
i hope yall have a blessed week, not blessed too abundantly, but blessed just enough. we wouldn't want to make anyone mad or anything!
love always,
sister kennedy
