I arrived in Kentucky on Friday around 4 pm. I've been spending time with my sister Natalie and her husband Rob. They live in Nicholasville near Lexington KY. I was excited to come here and see what life is like in a different state. Since here I've seen the differences between this place and home. The sloping wide open fields are a different and distinct beauty. Everywhere you look there are double fences and barnes that signify a thriving horse operation.
The people are different. I feel deep inside that they live a more simple life than we do in Utah. I went with Natalie and Rob to the somerset branch. A lesson I learned on my mission served to help me have a good experience today. I remembered that loving people begins with a choice. A choice to see the good in them and simply love them. The men who blessed and passed the sacrament did so with a reverence and respect that I've never before seen or felt. People shared their experiences openly, with a desire to help others feel faith and goodness.
After church we went to a womans house who makes Sunday dinner each week for Natalie and Rob. They had another man over who they've 'taken under their wing'. I was really impressed all day at how good and kind the people here are.
The straight and narrow
