Amazing Coca-Cola advertising in Hopkinsville, KY
Hola!
This week has been strange because I seemed to have caught
the monstrous Bronchitis and I've been kind of out of it. Spending your nights
awake hacking up stuff is not helpful as a missionary! It's hard to feel
productive at all when you have to sleep in or go home early because your body
hates you. I feel like the worst missionary ever! It's been getting a little
better everyday so hopefully I'll be back to my normal self soon!
This is "ARCHIE" the annoying bird I talked about several weeks back. He's always tapping on our apartment window looking for something or someone....finally got him on film...
We had a wonderful visit with one of our less actives this
week. She took us downtown for lunch and showed us around. I have really come
to love and adore Hopkinsville. It's precious!
Another less active taught us how to make Spanish rice and
I'm super excited to make it when I get home. I'll pretty much be a pro cook
when I get home because there are so many amazing cooks here that I've been
learning from!
My One Year Anniversary was on Thursday and it was super
weird but super great! We had a Zone Conference that day and had some truly
amazing and inspirational trainings by President and Sister Andersen, the
Assistants and some other missionaries. It helped me gain more of a passion for
this work- kind of like gave me a second wind! That night we had homemade pizza
from scratch with the Kinley's and then we had an incredible scripture study
with them in the Book of Mormon and Brother Kinley pointed out some really
beautiful things that I have never noticed before. Afterwards we went out to
their field and Brother Kinley started a fire and shot my old skirt and shirt
into the fire with some kind of fire gun to mark my one year! I love watching
people blow stuff up- awesome day!
Hermana Stricklin and I gave talks about the Restoration on
Sunday and we were pretty pleased with ourselves since we had like 4 days
notice and NO time to write talks! I'm grateful for the Spirit and how it
directed us and helped us know what to say. I have such a testimony of the
Restoration of the gospel, priesthood authority and true church of Jesus Christ
through the prophet Joseph Smith. I am so grateful for this message of love and
hope!
We were able to read from the Book of Mormon a lot with our
investigators this week and it always amazes me how powerful this book truly
is. It causes us to have a change of heart and it causes us to have better and
greater desires to come closer to our Heavenly Father and our home with Him.
Sometimes I get really homesick for my home with Heavenly
Father but I am so so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ that helps me
stay on the straight and narrow path back to Him. I am grateful for my Savior
Jesus Christ and His Atonement that allows me to be made clean and worthy to
return to my Father again.
I love y'all so much!
Hermana Knight
...bye y'all for now...
