Having been home from my own Mission for almost five years now, I had forgotten about how much double planning and looking for back-up appointments we went through. The 2 missionaries in our branch are great back-up planners. I got to go on exchanges recently, which put their planning skills to test. The only appointment they had that night didn’t show up. after a quick break down of who lived closest, they decided it would be most beneficial if we visited a nearby member.
It is inspiring to associate with individuals who spend all their waking hours studying, pondering and teaching the gospel. You can’t help but feel the spirit they radiate from the mantle they carry.

The Kendricks and the Festival of Lights
“For several years now, Emma has played soccer with a girl named Bridget Kennedy. They happen to live just around the corner from us and so our families have developed a good friendship. They are very aware of our dedication to our faith and Dave Kennedy (the father) has even been to LDS church services when he was in boot camp because they would let the mormons off base for longer times due to the three hour length of time we go to church. We decided to invite them to the visitor’s center this year to look at the lights, see the nativity sets, and have a nice time. Samantha also brought a friend with us. We watched Luke 2 with them and talked about the symbols of Christmas. We had a nice time and are hoping that more experiences like these will open them to the gospel message.
The Kendricks”
