Week 29: *insert some subject line, I just can't think of a good one*

 Hi.

Elder Creer again. Happy December.

Overall a pretty interesting week. We contaccted a lot of referrals this week and found not a whole lot of success. But that's all good, we did see several awesome miracles that helped lift our spirits over the lull in the work.

We had a lesson with a young adullt and his friend wearing a religious school college sweatshirt (if that makes any sense).  Anyways, low key thought they were going to bash us. Especially when they started asking questions (in the public library btw) like "not trying to cause any contention here, but..." It was kind of funny, but it turns out they were just genuinely interested and asking curious questions. Now not entirely convinced that they aren't playing the long game with us, but I guess we'll see next Saturday at the library. Hopefully, you know, they actually consider that we teach about Jesus and not polygamy or being saved by works. Lol.

We also had Stake conference in Lexington this past weekend (stake conference is like a regional conference for our church that happens twice a year). It was really cool because they were calling a new Stake President and Elder Vern P. Stanfill was there. The Spirit was really strong throughout the meeting, and I enjoyed hearing the testimonies of the former and new Stake Presidency members. Elder Stanfill was pretty funny as well. Apparently he's good friends with Elder David A. Bednar, and he told the story of how he called Eric Bednar (Elder Bednar's son) to be stake president of the Crestwood Kentucky Stake. Basically, he felt really prompted to call Eric Bednar to be Stake President, but was worried that he would get a phone call from Elder Bednar about it if he followed the prompting. Well he heeded the prompting and promptly got a call from Elder Bednar saying "does our relationship have anything to do with this?" Elder Stanfill said no, and then Elder Bednar just said fine and hung up. It was pretty funny, and sorry, but that probably made no sense. Just trust that it was hilarious. 

Anyways, I got to drive again this week on exchanges which was fun. Except the Equinox is a garbage car compared to the Rogue. But that's ok. 

Also ate at the first KFC (which for some reason is located in Corbin). Not going to lie that was the first time I've eaten at KFC and very well might be the last. They mixed up my sandwhich with Elder Lichlyter (and his was spicy). It wasn't finger lickin good.

But we took some pictures at Sanders Park, so that was fun.

Anyways. I'm going to sign off now. Love y'all!!

This Colonel Sanders stuff low key feels like idol worship. Especially for producing not good food.

Some train in Corbin

We had an accident with our Christmas tree.

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...
