Week 38: zc part 6 and helping people come closer to Christ

 Happy Monday party people!

Elder Creer is officially past the worst month of the year and is "ready for the 5 days of Valentines" - according to Mom.

Anyways, this week was kind of slow at first again, but it definitely picked up towards the end of the week. We had a member participating lesson this week for the first time in a bit with our friend on Baptism date. It was pretty cool and we taught her the Restoration. She already has great faith in Jesus Christ, and recognizes that the devil is going to try and stop her from progressing. She said pretty powerfully that she is not going to let him stop her, which was really awesome. The member (who lives up in London) treated (?) us to the original KFC in Corbin afterwords since he hasn't been before. It was better than last time (see Week 29) but still I would pick 10 other chicken places over it. Glad I gave it a second chance though. (to seal its fate?)

Let's see, let's see. What else. 
Meghan Trainer is pregnant again. So that was some pop culture news I learned last week.

We had zone conference on Friday, which was a treat as usual. We focused a lot on diligence in our missionary efforts. They also introduced that our mission is now letting us go tracting (except they're labeling it as door knocking instead of tracting). We stopped doing that back when covid started, and now were going back to that. So that'll be fun. Overall, it was a great day getting to see missionaries I know again and hearing from our amazing mission leaders. I really am going to miss President and Sister Alder when they leave in July. But the next mission leaders are called of God, and I'm sure they'll be amazing too.

We tried out some door knocking the other day and the first door we go to, a guy comes out while we were walking up, and we got a pretty enthusiastic response about the Book of Mormon. So that was pretty cool seeing door knocking work without knocking on a single door. The rest of the doors were funny to see people's reactions. We'll leave it at that.

Anyways. This is the last week of the transfer. I'm curious to see what is in store, but trust the Lord has the best plan for me.

Week 101: Thunder Over Louisville

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...
