Week 31: Tennessee, lol

Well. It's that time a week again. Welcome back to Elder Creer's monologue. 

This week was pretty good.
We had Christmas Zone conference on Friday, and it was awesome. It was a few hours shorter than a normal zone conference, but we enjoyed getting to hear special musical numbers and focusing on the birth of our Savior. We also had a white elephant exchange, and did some skits, so it was nice to feel like a normal person again. President Alder also read to us "Twas the night before Christmas," which in past years I probably couldn't care less about. But as President Alder read that to all the missionaries at Zone conference, I could feel the deep love and respect that him and Sister Alder have for each individual missionary they've worked with.  

Zone Conference was up in Lexington, and it was kind of crazy to see a Gold Star Chili there. It's weird to think that I'm literally serving like 3 hours from Cincinnati. I still have yet to eat at Gold Star, even after living in Cincy for like 8 years. For those of you who don't know, Cincinnati Chili is a big thing. For reasons I still don't know why.

Other than that, this week was pretty uneventful. We basically were missionaries. Lol.

Tuesday though was unique. We went down to a town called Williamsburg and were contacting several people down there. Particularly we were south of Williamsburg which is right on the Tennessee Border (the mission border). Pretty much there's a small sliver (like 2 feet) of Tennessee that's technically in our mission according to area book. So naturally, we had to take a detour. See pics. I low-key kind of felt apostate about it, but I guess it's in the books now. So I basically just waved to Sister Patterson and Sister Matthews while down there.

Anyways, Christmas is literally on Sunday which is insane. I hope y'all enjoy this week of break, and have a very merry Christmas!!

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...
