Week 14: "The Man That Follows You Around"

Currently on our way up to Vincennes, Indiana to hang out with some other Elders. Forgot to bring my Bluetooth keyboard, so this'll be fun. 

Overall it was a good week...Zone conference was on Tuesday, and it was awesome to be able to gather again as a zone. We had some great trainings, and I always love to hear from our leaders.

Our friends... let's see. Down in Sturgis, Kentucky one of our friends thinks that I don't talk a lot. To give him credit, I am pretty quiet when we're down there. Partly because it's a pretty long drive, and I feel like I'm usually half asleep when we're down there. Anyways, we were talking with his wife, and he sent us a text afterwords thanking us for coming by, saying he noticed a change in his wife after we left. To quote him... "thank you Skylar and the man that follows you around, lol." It was so funny.

In Mount Vernon on Saturday, we were teaching a family about the gospel of Jesus Christ, and their little girl like 4 years old came up to me and said "what's all that bumpy stuff on your head?!?" Also so funny.

But the work continues! With transfer calls this Saturday, I'm very curious to see what happens. I would love to stay here and hopefully see some of my friends progress a little more, but I'll go where the Lord wants me to go. We'll see what happens...

But I definitely love and miss you all! Though this has been one of the hardest things I've done, I love being part of this great work! 'till next time!

A hotel boat: (noun) $5000 per person per night for a mid-at-best float down the Ohio River. (Allegedly)

Woods: (noun) hiking in khakis is not it. In my humble opinion it's also not it period.

Video: (verb-ish) the boat also chimes. Adding around $126.42 in value to the quote "experience" close quote

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...
