Week 37: Quote Board

 How's it going fam!?!

This week was pretty good not gonna lie.

To be honest, the first like 4 days were a bit of a drag, but that's all good. We had a really awesome weekend with 6 friends at Church. Granted 2 of them are gray dots (not interested people), but still, it was pretty cool. 

Anyways, on the agenda this past week...

Exchanges with Liberty Elders:
We had some guy come up to us while we were filling up gas and say he'd like to meet with the missionaries again. (he apparently met with some missionaries for a bit just north of Columbus, Indiana a few years back. So that was cool I guess. We spent the day contacting down in Russell Springs which we saw a lot of success in. Oh, and how could I forget, We spent an hour from 8:30 to 9:30 doing the dishes in a bathtub.  No further comments needed.

Interviews:
Interviews were on Wednesday. Spiritual experience as always. Love President Alder to death.

Jail:
We went to Jail on Saturday. To visit a member referral from the Whitley City area (just outside of our mission). Some pretty unique comments heard in the waiting room before the 15 minute visitation. The hour and a half waiting room, mind you. Such overheard comments like "I got drunk like a skunk last night,"  and "I thought I was gonna die" were at the top of my list. No filter whatsoever as she described the alcholich beverages she consumed on her Friday night. There was also a vending machine filled with free nasal spray. So I just had to treat myself. I failed to make the connection though that this was a vending machine in a prison. So while I thought I was going to get treated to some free alergy spray, I was dissapointed to find out that it was Narcan, primary use: drug overdose. So yeah. That's in our trash can now. 

Anyways, Elder Lichlyter has officially designated one of our whiteboards to be a quote board. He literally filled out the entire board with "iconic" phrases that I've said the last few months. Pretty entertaining stuff.

But yeah, this weekend was really good. We taught Judy the Word of Wisdom, and she already has a desire to follow it, so that was really cool. We also had a lot of good member visits this past week, and enjoyed helping people come closer to Christ.

Looking forward to next week with Zone Conference on Friday. Love you all and have a fantastic week!!

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 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 98: Picturesque Thai

Hey hey hey party peeps! How's it going? Good week in the KLM. Indiana is a vibe, and I got to see a lot of a lot of Southern Indiana this week as we went on exchanges with the Tell City Elders. I went there with Elder Meilstrup, which was a fun little reunion from back when I was his district leader in Winchester. We got some fun work done there and even crossed over into the Kentucky half of their area and found a few potentials. We exchanged back that night over in New Albany as we had Zone Conference the next day, so we just had all of us stay the night in New Albany. Zone conference was good. It wasn't anything too crazy. It started to hit me that I'm the next group for giving departing testimonies, so that's super weird. We emphasized Preach My Gospel a lot as well as our purpose as missionaries and it sounded like the zone really enjoyed it. The rest of the week was good. We exchanged with the Clarksville Bike Elders, and I stayed in New Albany with Elder Crane f...
