Sister Kendra Reynolds: Episode 27: Transferred??? YES!!!!

Sister Harrison & Sister Reynolds

Hello my people from New Mexico and everywhere else lol! It has been a solid couple of weeks for Sister Harrison and I...and unfortunately our last :( We knew it was coming but hoping it wouldn't so bummed but it's ok!! That's how life works sometimes, you have to move on to that new adventure!! I have loved Appomattox. It was become my home away from home, so many things happened here, good and bad haha! I think it will be my hardest area, but also my best! Here in Appomatox we got up to having a teaching pool of 16 people and it was so hard but it was amazing! I grew so much from it. I have had the best trainee through all of it too! I know that Sister Harrison and I were best buds in the Premortal world and we promised to come together and teach these people. I will miss her so greatly! But dang I am pretty pumped to see where I will be going next!! I am all ready to say goodbye haha. Tomorrow (Tuesday) I will find out where I am going. Then on Thursday, I will transfer to that area. So stay tuned to where I will be next and my new companion!! These past weeks were kind of slow. With all the appointments we had, nearly all of them had to reschedule or never answered. So it was a lot of finding and service work again.

Sister Harrison had a stomach bug...poor thing but we officially over that and onto a new sickness!!!! Yay, we both feel colds coming on and so we hope it's just because the temperature is dropping lol. l love the mission guys, I am meeting so many people and making so many friends, it is hard moving around. Members thing it's hard having missionaires swap out so often, well try being the missionary! You'll forget us by the next year but we will never forget you members! I love that this work is so rewarding, that through the hardship of bearing Christ's name we can feel this immense joy. I LOVE IT!

Fun fact: we were under a tornado watch and had no idea! The life of a missionary...

OH!! Ok just to share a little bit of my testimony of the Book of Mormon...wow, I know with a sure knowledge that this book is the most correct book in the whole world that has ever existed. I love this book with all my heart. I know its teachings are true, that these people were a choice people chosen by God to show us sacrifice and that if we turn our will over to the Lord's, we will receive the kingdom of heaven...Isn't that insane?!? THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN! And all He asks us to do is to love Him and keep His commandments. Why do we over complicate things? Are we willing to make some sacrifices for things that Heavenly Father promises us are worth it? I AM!! SIGN ME UP!! I love this gospel so much and I am deeply and humbly grateful for this wonderful miraculous inspiring knowledge I not only have about myself but about this world and my Savior. I know this is the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, and I will live the rest of my life knowing that and testifying of it!

I have loved doing service in this little bakery!

We were doing service at the bakery shop and they fed us dinner and she wanted us to go to the diner across the store to get some drinks, so we walk over and they ask "how can we help?" I see that there is a bar and so I'm thinking ok we gotta say we need coke products right? Well, Sister Harrison was NOT on the same page and says "ya, can we get two drinks?" I'm like oh no, oh no and he continues to talk to her about what specials they had and last call was soon and she was like so confused and so I said "No, we need like 2 cokes!" The guy laughed and said "OH those kind of drinks!" Oh my gosh, I was dying it was so funny!! LOL
