Week 36: Exchanges and Busy-ness

 Happy Monday Y'all. Hope all is well. Hope you enjoy my luke warm salutations, complete with passive aggressive periods.

This week has been busy! We've done a lot. And I took about zero pictures to prove it, so that's a bit of an L.

ANYways, we had a lot of good work this week complete with like 5 set-up member present lessons, and all 5 of those not working out. But that's all good, we still did a lot of good work this week and saw our friends progress. Remember that excommunicated friend. Turns out she wasn't ever officially excommunicated, so that's some serious progression if I've ever seen it. She even came to Church yesterday, which was super awesome. We also have been working with a less active member, who has read the Book of Mormon every day for the last week and a half (what!!!). He apparently was up all night with his granddaughter Saturday night, but still came to Church the next day. Granted, after Sacrament meeting he turned to us and said (in a half-asleep voice) "I think I'm gonna go home. I need to get some sleep." It was pretty funny, but I was just happy he was able to come for 1st hour and was glad to see him there.

We also went on exchanges this past week with the Zone Leaders up in Richmond. To preface, we had a member meal set up for the last 2 weeks with the millennials of the ward who have a baby named Kash (aka Boss Baby Kash). Super funny family, and they wanted me to pick the meal, so I chose tacos. Anyways, I purposefully didn't tell the ZLs this (since you know, Elder Callahan was my companion and all and served here for 6 months). Anyways, they informed us of exchange news and naturally I was going up to Richmond with Elder Ashton and Elder Callahan was coming back down here with Elder Lichlyter. Let's just say the voice memos back and forth in our chat were some of the funniest things I've heard. I guess I should have trusted President Nelson's phrase that "good inspiration is based on good information."

But yeah, Richmond was super fun though, so it's all good. It's where EKU is, and so we went on campus for about 5 seconds and then turned around because everyone had already left. But it was cool to see a fairly large college campus again. Anyways, we basically did a lot of Spirit-led door knocking that afternoon and evening, until we had a member meal with a super nice family who has a missionary of their own serving in Mexico. Anyways, good exchange, and the first time I've done one out of my area since my first transfer in the Marshallese area.

Anyways I don't even know what to talk about anymore. I'm forgetting everything from back home, and I feel like I'm losing myself in the service of the Lord. So I guess that's a good thing.

Worst Chick-fil-a experience in several years

My man loves some selfies. i.e. I can't deal with that right now and we stopped texting him

Week 53: Into Year Two We Go

  Ohhh my goodness. Thank GOODness it's P-day. Literally haven't had a p-day in 3 weeks.   2 weeks ago was moving day in Corbin, Last week we had a shortened p-day (see below) and finally we have today! Hallelujah! I'm about to take an all day p-day rather than cutting it off at 6. Lol, I'm kidding. I'm not that apostate. Anyways, this was a good week! Definitely felt it towards the end, but good nonetheless! We put two friends on date for baptism 🎊🥳🎊!!! Tuesday, we had a call with a new friend, and taught her the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She expressed a lot of desire to be baptized and we talked about how as missionaries, you know, that's what we do. We taught her particularly about the gift of the Holy Ghost. She readily accepted to be baptized on July 1st! Later in the week we taught her the Restoration, and her response to the First Vision was so powerful. She simply said, "Wow!" and you could tell she knew it was true! We'll continue to work...

Week 24: Oh...uh (subtle laugh)...I don't believe in the mormons...

Happy Happy Halloween! First of all, the next person to call me a quote on quote "Mormon", is not going to have a happy halloween...lol, but sorry. Tbh, the term mormon sounds like an insult...I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, plz, thank you, next. Basically the way this conversation went was we had a super awesome lesson over the phone with this lady a couple weeks ago, and she said that she would like to come to church with us sometime. Well, we basically get blocked by her. We go over to her apartment, and we unblocked ourselves from her phone (literally lol) because we didn't think she blocked us on purpose, and we didn't really think she knew how to use her phone very well. Anyways. We set up another phone lesson and we're blocked again. 2 weeks go by and we stop by her apartment and she said that today she was pretty busy and couldn't talk. SO...we naturally ask when would be a better time, and she said "Oh, I don't re...

Week 21: Double Double, Toil and Trouble (Pt. 4)

  Hi. Welcome back to Elder Creer's monologue I guess. Well it's transfer news again and I am staying another one in Henderson with Elder Kalb! I'm honestly pretty glad. At the beginning of this week, I was kind of feeling like I failed in holding up this area, but I get another 6 weeks to see what we can do. So that'll be fun. But at the same time it'll be crazy to think that I will have lived in Henderson, Kentucky for 6 months of my life by the time this next one is over. Also! Shoutout to Sister Matthews and Sister Henderson starting the MTC today! Looking back, the MTC was probably one of the more fun parts of my mission (albeit one of the most difficult). So I hope that y'all will both love it! But anyways, this week was unique. Tuesday through Thursday were such a drag it wasn't even funny. Like we literally knocked doors all day. So fun. But the last half of the week was pretty good. We FINALLY found a new person to teach last night, so that was awes...
