Week 86: zoco planes type beat

Pretty deep week. Super ward council type week.


But yeah, Tuesday started off with a bang. We enjoyed the absolute grind of 80 testifying contacts. It was cool. 

Zoco was on Wednesday and it was awesome. We drove up to Louisville for it, and it was so cool to drive past the airport and look at all the planes landing and taking off. Low key, that may have been one of my favorite parts of the day. But Zone Conference was actually really good. It's up their with my favorites from the mission. President McGinn taught about looking forward with faith. Specifically the type of faith found in the Book of Mormon, where the Prophets had faith of future events (like Christ's birth) such that they talked about it in the present and past tense. 

We also are no longer going to be reciting the Kentucky Louisville Mission Culture, as the mission leader handbook has changed such that no mission should have logos, culture statements, etc. in order to promote unity amongst all missions with it all being the same work. So that was a vibe. We got a sneak peak of that at MLC, but it became official on Thursday. 

The rest of this week was a vibe. We testified, invited people to church, and had some Member participating lessons. Elder Thomas and I also found 6 people, which was pretty awesome. 

Some members took us to a Hibachi grill, and it was perhaps the most interesting Hibachi experience of my life. It took about 45 minutes for them to wheel out the food to be cooked when there was hardly anyone there on a Thursday night. They cooked the vegetables last which was a flex on their part ig. But still good food. 
So interesting experience... 3.5 stars?

Last night we had crab legs and steak (or as they called it, "surf and turf") for a member's birthday. He's also an airplane maintenance technician for UPS in Louisville, so I got to talk about Aerospace engineering for a little bit, which was fun.

But yeah, overall a good week and a good start to 2024.


Love y'all tons!!

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...
