Week 26: trio life 2.0 (oh, and also 6 months)

 What a week!

Zone conference was on Tuesday, and it was awesome. Loved getting to feel the Spirit in abundance, and enjoyed getting to gather as a Zone again (crazy it was my 4th one here already). We talked about the Light the World campaign which will launch in a few days, and I'm pretty excited to be a missionary for it. We were also informed that the area presidency wants missionaries to be going to the temple more often. So now we'll get to go once every 3 or so transfers, which is really great. I definitely have missed the temple being a missionary.

So 6 months. On Wednesday I will be a quarter of the way done with my mission. Feels like an eternity, but also feels like a blur, so "Forward pressing forward" I guess.

Thursday saw me on an exchange here in Henderson (getting to drive again, which was great). I was with a new missionary who's reassigned here before he gets his visa for Peru. We enjoyed getting to rake more leaves (eye-roll) and teaching several lessons. 

And then came Friday. Our district leader's companion had to go home on Wednesday, and basically they didn't know (oh my goodness, while proof-reading I spelled know as no... I'm losing my mind) what to do with him, after having him with a temporary companion for two days. So now I'm in a trio again which is pretty fun. Elder Wood is now my 5th companion. Nothing like a good ET (emergency transfer). I feel kind of bad for him though, because this is is his 2nd ET this transfer, and his 4th companion in a row that has gone home early. So yikes. But it's a party here in Henderson with 3 missionaries again.

Also... it snowed!!! It legit dropped like 2 or 3 inches of packing snow on Saturday (after being in the 70s Monday through Thursday).

From teaching an elderly member yesterday...  "I just don't know what my son means! He said something along the lines of 'Snoop Dog is a G???" like what does that even mean?" Ahahahahaha. The way she said it was so funny."

Apparently an Elder McBride served in Henderson. No one will understand why that is terrifying, but suffice it to say, we will not be telling one of our friends that.

Oh my goodness, this email is so lame. I'm losing my humor. There is nothing to be sarcastic about AHHHHHHHHHH!

Everyone loves a good before and after. Is it too much to insert another eye roll? Probably.

Anyways, love y'all!!! Talk to you next week!

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...
