*mrs. doubtfire's voice* why HEllloooooooooo. sorry just felt like shaking things up for todays hello. and legit when typing that i just wrote sister doubtfire. gosh i am such a missionary.... anyways heres my week for yall. sorry for wasting 10 seconds of your life with that weird intro
went on a hike on monday and got stung by a sweat bee. was fine all day until the next morning i woke up and my eye was swelled shut. got better throughout the day but was still a little swollen at transfers ughh. oh well it made just about everyone we see laugh so at least it brightened up their day i guess.
got the glorious news that because theres gonna be a trio we couldnt fit in our old apartment so we got to leave that place and go to new apartment HALLELUJER legit almost cried when i got the news. so tuesday we spent all day packing and moving homes and saying goodbye to everyone. it was quite the day.
had to go to transfers because sister durbin left ughhh miss that girl but got my new companions sister pond and sister humphreys. seriously the cutest girls ever!! this is gonna be a fun transfer for sure. and the new apartment definitely helps with that one. guys i can actually sleep through the night with the lights off. it is amazing. didn't realize how sleep deprive i was because of hat place but this last week it hit me and man im exhausted but oh well. i guess well just keep on keeping on.
met a lady that told us how she was saved from the streets from doing 20 years of crack and prostitution and never once got aids so blessings. one way to look on the bright side of things in life am i right?? she then proceeded to pray for us and even slipped in a little speakin in tongues.
had a little kid yell out in Sacrament "no! i want another cup because im still thirsty!!!" hahah kid just keepin it real
had a man give us some great advice at the amazing hobby lobby(like the best store in the entire world) he said, 'being a good Christian is not just refraining from sin, it's being like Jesus." i love the south!
teaching this little 9 yr old girl named Lexi who is picking between two baptism dates for this month! we are so excited for her and she is just the cutest thing ever! all during Sacrament Meeting yesterday she would turn around and wave and smile to us. cutest thing ever!
also teaching this lady named Crystal! she has the sweetest spirit and im am so grateful that we are able to teach her. she is a seeker of truth and is very interested in the Mormon church. she told us "you know i was raised southern baptist so this will be a little bit of a change but im excited" and then at our lesson she asked if we wanted anything top drink "water? lemonade? sweet tea?" and then stopped herself and said "Oh wait. do WE drink sweet tea?" ahh i just love her and am so excited to keep working with her and her husband Sam!
WOAHHHHHHH HALFWAY THEREEEEE WOAHHHHH LIVIN ON A PRAYER!!!!! yall i hit my 9 month mark on wednesday and it's a little strange to think about. halfway done. a little sad, a little confused that it's gone by so fast, and a little concerned that i still have 9 months left. im just kidding really i think im just pushing it out of my mind so i don;t have to actually think about how one day i won't be on my mission because that is just a little too much to think about at the moment. i am so grateful or the experiences i have had so far on my mission and i will treasure them always. heres to 9 more months!! here's on of my favorite scriptures at the moment to celebrate!! Ether 12:11 " Wherefore, by faith was the law of Moses given. But in the gift of his Son hath God prepared a more excellent way; and it is by faith that it hath been fulfilled." I know that this gospel is the more excellent way and I am so grateful for that. The gospel is true. The Book of Mormon is the word of God. I am grateful for this knowledge and I hope that yall have a blessed week!
love always,
sister kennedy
