Week 25: Ramblings

Well. It's been a week.

To start, I'll say I'm mentally drained. So apologies in advance if this email isn't riveting, as they all too often are. I also forgot my keyboard and am subsequently texting this email out, so...yeah...this'll be stream of consciousness style. Perhaps my favorite writing style learned in 10th grade English 

This week was interesting...not a whole lot of lessons. It wasn't that fun. But, that's how missionary work is sometimes.

Monday night we had our mission wide Halloween devotional. "Faith over fear" was the theme. Not the most exciting thing... but I guess it prevented us from being kidnapped on the streets or something like that.

And then November came. Shout to Grace  who's not a minor anymore. I still have fond memories of the day I turned 18.  Lol. Scratch that. I don't think I remember a single thing from that day, without looking at pictures. Anyways, Happy Birthday Grace!

We helped at the Salvation Army store this week. It was interesting. Everything was super dusty, and it was kinda gross ngl. But we served the community, so that what it's about.

We raked some leaves this week. And then watched a wind storm shake massive amounts of leaves onto our work. So that didn't really improve my opinion of raking leaves.

4 people to Church!! We has 2 investigators come (including Alan, who hasn't been in a bit) and 2 less active members come. Super good conclusion to a super long and exhausting week. I loved getting to see my friends at Church!

We saw a cat. It looked like one of our friend's cats. We called them, and they said it wasn't their cat. Riveting story, I know.

There was probably some other funny stuff, I just can't think of it. Zone conference is tomorrow, and I look forward to being spiritually fed there. 

Anyways, this was a lame email, but enjoy some <super> cool pictures I guess.

Love y'all so much!!

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...
