Week 12: I Have Changed My Mind...I Do Want to Talk to You

Another week gone by in the KLM! In all honesty Monday through Friday FLEW by, and then I hit a brick wall on Saturday. Saturday we worked up in Mount Vernon, and it just felt like we were driving all day, with nothing really significant other than one really good lesson. Such is life I guess. Anyways...I've been asked to play the piano for Zone Conference again, but this time I got to pick the songs. So that's a little more comforting. But it is insane that Zone conference is a week from tomorrow. Like what on earth. This summer went by so fast, and I'm like K bye I guess.

This week we had a lot of cool miracles with finding and teaching. We had several really good referrals that led to some awesome lessons and contacts. Interesting because about 96 out of 100 referrals we get, we text/call them and there's either no response or they just respond "CANCEL." And to comment on the cancel response...first of all I am NOT a bot! I refuse to use the default responses given by Area book (which, in my opinion, sound like a bot) and spend a whole 26.5 seconds crafting my own personalized introductory text message to the friend. I just can't fathom they would think I'm a bot. Like what on earth? I am sad now!

But in all seriousness, this week was really spiritual despite its rough patches. We had some awesome lessons and even enjoyed President and Sister Alder coming to Church in Henderson for Fast and Testimony Meeting yesterday. I always love to hear my mission President speak and the advice and counsel he gives. He truly is called of God, and I thank my Heavenly Father for his dedication to the work and his compassion towards his missionaries.

I guess the work will continue. Schools start up this week in Henderson, so we'll see how that will affect the work. Anyways until next time! Love y'all!

We had a massive storm Monday night (mostly just Evansville, but a little down in Henderson). The pictures are from the Elders up in Evansville and it was a pretty insane storm with flash flooding and trees falling down. Sorry but there will be no Goat simulations today...maybe next time

Week 101: Thunder Over Louisville

Image
What a Week! We're ending with a bang over here in the KLM, that's for sure! This past week was pretty fun. We did a lot of hard work out in the heat, but it was worth it as we found a lot of cool new potentials. It's been reminding me of my Winchester and Shelbyville days with the sunny heat we've been getting. It seriously has been gorgeous weather. We found a lot of cool new people this week, and we're excited to meet again with them this coming week. We went on exchanges with the Bike Elders this week. I stayed here in New Albany with my son(!) Elder Lichlyter which was a super fun reunion exchange. It was kind of crazy since we've hardly served around each other since our time in Corbin, and it was so good to be together again. We started our exchange by selling my bike to some guy named Ethan in a Bass Pro Shops parking lot. So that was a vibe. The only problem is that he paid in cash and the nearest Bank of America ATM is in Lexington. So rip. But it'...

Week 104: Departing Testimony

Image
  Wow. First of all! Happy Mother's Day! So grateful for my Mom, and for all the other mothers of the world. It was a good day yesterday to get to call my Mom and as some say, "chop it up." Other than yesterday, this week was a bit of a grinder again, but that's ok. We had my last Zone Conference on Wednesday which was really wholesome and caused a lot of reflection for me. We trained and talked a lot about Chapter 8 of Preach My Gospel. I was also able to bear my departing testimony which was such a surreal experience. I bore testimony of how Jesus Christ has sustained me over the last 2 years, through the highs and lows. Of how the Book of Mormon and the words of living prophets are the key to spiritual survival. I was the only one in the group going home, so it was kind of weird to be the only one there, but it was a good time.  The rest of the week has been a LOT of finding, and it's been a little tough, but we've been making the most of it. We've foun...

Week 49: Reflections

Image
Well, week 49 in the books. Pretty good week, not going to lie. Lol, I feel like every week is the polar opposite of the previous week. Anyways, this week we enjoyed lots of door knocking, lots of member visits, and lots of attempted member participating lessons. Oh my goodness, the devil tried SO much to stop MPLs from happening this week! Like we literally had our friend and our member on over video chat for like 2 minutes, and then our friend's power went out and she couldn't call. Like oh my goodness! But it's ok. We also had a lady we were teaching couldn't meet because of certain things ("[Missionary standards] require that I answer No!" - Bob's Boss, from "The Incredibles"). Basically we bribed her and she then was happy to meet. We'll leave it at that. Ngl, that's kind of it for this week. The work just keeps on going, I guess. We've had a lot of great things this week, and I'm excited for what happens over the next few we...
