Week 33: Roadtrippin' in the KLM

 Insert cliche greeting on the 2nd day of the year!!! lol

What a week! To be honest we've done so much this week, I can't even remember half of it.

So... Monday, we went to Cumberland falls which was actually so cool because it was still recovering (is that the right word??) from the -20⁰ weather from last weekend. See pictures I guess.

This week my companions and I got to go to the temple in Crestwood. It was so amazing, and I loved getting to be back in the House of the Lord. Honestly, it was a little overwhelming to go back into the mission field after our session, as it was so nice to be able to sit in the Celestial room, not wearing the name tag. But, this is the greatest work I could be doing on earth, and I look forward to what the future holds.

The next day we had new missionary training for Elder Lichlyter, and it was a brief 5 hour meeting. We enjoyed discussing techniques on training, mental health with our new mission counselor, and other fun topics. 

The weekend we saw a lot of cool miracles finding new people and were even able to get a new person to Church which was super cool.

Anyways, transfer news is here. Elder Callahan will be moving up to Richmond to be Zone Leader of our zone. I'm really glad I'll still be able to serve around him as he's an awesome missionary, and I'll miss him a lot. But I look forward to hearing about the rest of his mission

And then came my transfer news. I'll still be here in Corbin with Elder Lichlyter which is nice. But basically I look at transfer boards Sunday morning, and it showed that I'm district leader. I was never told that in our transfer call, so I text our mission President saying "yes, hi. what is this?" to which he didn't respond for 8 hours. He then replied "Thank you for pointing that out.  I failed to inform you have that assignment." And so that was unique. I guess I'm district leader now. It's funny because I literally wrote in my journal the previous night, "I'm glad I'm not the new district leader with those responsibilities," and then had to put a new entry in saying, "yeah psych."

So anyways, I'm excited to still be here in Corbin and finish up Elder Lichlyter's training. There's a lot of good potential here, and I look forward to what the new transfer will bring.

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

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...
