this week was a good one. sad to say though that johnny's baptism got pushed to september 2nd, but we truly feel as if this will be the best thing for him! and we are so excited to work towards this new goal for him!!
transfer news! so we got the call saturday night, and we were the last ones they called. like how horrible is that??? normally we get our calls at 9pm but we didn't get ours till about 10:10. so it was just and hour of us sitting there waiting in anticipation. it was the worst thing ever! but the call came and we finally got our news. the trio days have sadly ended. sister pond will be headed to a little town called fayette, sister humphreys will be headed to florence to serve with the homie SISTER WINTER! and i will be staying in anniston training a new missionary. so i dont know who it is yet but i am so excited to meet her and i can't wait to show her anniston and introduce her to all the amazing people here!!
so our washer and dryers got taken away about 2 months ago so every week we've been having to go to a laundro-mat. well one day we were studying outside the laundro-mat and some man was getting into his car and saw that were studying out of books of scripture and goes "is that a good book cause ive heard its a good one! i love that book!" obviously he thought it was the bible but little did he know it was the book of mormon and that is actually is a great book! well he drove away before we could say anything but i just love the south and that something like that is not out of the ordinary!
met some lady who legit had a PET ALLIGATOR. like one that lived in her house. had a t-shirt on it and everything. it was still a baby but like at least 4ft. long, and that was only a baby! we asked if she was going to keep it a house pet like even when it got big and she was like of course..why wouldn't i?? like that was the dumbest question we ever asked hahah. we were like oh okay..aren't you scared it'll eat you or attack you?? and shes all like, nope you just dont go near it after 5. like yup okay smart choice.
had a man stop us in the mall to ask us if we were married and when we told him no, he responded with thats good, cause were all married to Jesus. i dont think any of us said anything for at least a solid 10 seconds. like what the heck??? people here are so interesting i love them so much
had a member feed us steak this week. i mean blessings from on high!!! thank you sister tola!!
we have been helping this cute older couple with their family history and this past thursday they surprised us with a pizza party! how cute is that! so after eating all the pizza we could and doing some family history we went to go shake the man's hand (who has dementia and sometimes forgets things) and he tried to kiss sister humphreyson the nose! it was the cutest and funniest thing ever! thankfully his wife quickly ran over and saved sister humphreys but man we all did get a good laugh out of it!
taught a lesson to our investigator melvin yesterday and when he asked us how we get paid, the member that went with us told him that we don't get paid and actually pay to come on our missions. melvin was so taken aback for a second and then quickly pulled out his wallet and started to hand each of us $100 bills. we were so shocked we didn't know what to do hahah but thankfully the member stepped in and said "oh no they can't accept money either" which made melvin really sad, but we couldn't help but just laugh that this man had so quickly pulled out his wallet and was trying to give us cash. well instead he gave us a bag of chips and we gladly accepted. fast sundayblessings am i right?!
saw a quote on lds.org that said, "when you reach for the Sacrament, you reach for the Savior" and i just love that.
i love yall and hope that you have a blessed week!!
love always,
sister kennedy
