that night we stopped by a member's house just to share a quick verse before heading home for the night and when she wasn't there we asked if we could share one with her son, he's like in his 20's btw, who opened the door. he said yes and we discussed Mosiah 4:11, i think the verse i shared with y'all last week and talked about how knowledge can bring joy into our lives. well her son, cody, doesn't live there and so we thought that was that. but that next day we got a text from Denise, the member asking if we could come back over and teach her son about the Book of Mormon. He and his friend were really interested and wanted to know more and so of course we went back that night! It was such an amazing first lesson and intro to the BOM. You could just tell that they had such true desires to come closer to their Savior and start down the path that He wants them to walk down. So prepared!! It was such a great experience because we were able to testify that everything they wanted to do could be done by reading the BOM. We are continuing to teach them and i'll let y'all know how it goes!!
i don't know if I told y'all about Miss Fanny but we've been teaching her for a while and she loves the BOM! hasn't quite made the connection between it being true and the church being true but SHE CAME TO CHURCH Y'ALL!!! she came to Sacrament and loved it!! she said she felt such a peace there and thought that it was quite nice! oh did i mention that she is 79 years old?? just shows how awesome she really is! Sister willy and i did a music number in Sacrament and so she was able to see that as well and liked it too! yay! ahhh love her!! i don't know, but the love you have on the mission for other people is not your own. I mean it is, but there is just no way that I can have all this love inside of me but i do and i don't ever want it to go away!
We had a game night with Brenda at the Smith's home with the Smothers and it was such a fun night! Sis Willy and I taught them how to play apples to apples and i won! weird i never win but i did and everyone hated me for it hahah but that's alright i forgive them. i'd be mad at the winner too ..but ended the night by sharing our favorite scripture and the spirit just filled the room, just confirming to me that the scriptures are our tools on this earth to get through this life. they are just so awe-inspiring. (we've been asked to not use the word awesome so there is my attempt at using new words)
funny story time!!
Brought to you by Gene:
- when he was young he would go to the bar and this hippy would always sit down next to him with his pet pig. like a huge pig or hog idk but Gene said it was pretty big . and what gene and everyone at the bar would do would buy a drink for the pig and THEN one for the hippy too!! Like specifically in that order! Sis willy and i were dying as he was explaining how the pig would hold the drink in his mouth and chug it all down at once!!
- still in his younger years he was going into the country with his friends to hang out with some girls and as they were driving home in his convertible he ran out of gas. well he left his friends to go find the nearest home and as he was walking he kept seeing all these mean looking cats and when he finally found a house, the man told him to sleep on the porch until morning and so thats what gene did. when he and the man walked back to his car he was surprised to not find his friends anywhere... he then heard a noise in the trunk and soon found his friends shoved in there trying to sleep through the night without cats climbing all over them hahah like what???
- gene came home one day to find that Mariane had sold his ATV for a parrot that could talk. he went inside to say hi to this new bird that cost a lot of money and said "Hi Champ". the parrot, previously owned by a grouchy old lady said, "I Dont like you!" hahah i'll send A VIDEO of Gene telling it one of these days! Cause that's the best part of spending time with them! they just repeat the same stories over and over!
my funny stories:
- met a dude with the sickest metal dragon necklace of my life. it was epic!! i should write a book titled, "its the dude with the dragon necklace!" ehh someone might've already taken it... maybe one day!
- Brother Smith was trying to get me to eat some turnip greens and Sister Smith said, "Ya that would be a good thing to eat, if you wanna DIE!" if you couldn't tell she hates them too haha
- i had a little boy tell me that i looked "27 and from Canada"...."Eh??"
- the same boy thought that in Utah you spoke a different language hahah so he kept asking sis willy, "so what language so you speak there?"
-Sis Willy has been driving around to get to know the area and well lets just say she doesn't know it quite yet! Well at the Hills home when telling this to them, Bill, yes his name is Bill Hill, said, "Well Sister Kennedy, you just tell Sister Willy that she is a great driver and that she is driving just fine!... and then you need to go home and repent to Jesus for telling Stories!" (telling stories= lying) that had us dying!!
Well I hope that y'all have a blessed week! Alma 17:10 - And it came to pass that the Lord did visit them with His Spirit, and said unto them, Be Comforted. And they were comforted."
Love
Sister Kennedy
