Week 46: i don't even know... like burn piles and conference and whatnot?

Subject line pretty much sums up this week. I don't really know what happened. We did service for some friends on Tuesday and raked leaves and sticks into a massive burn pile. A lot of the leaves were wet, so it was tiring. It was a big burn pile.

Anyways. The rest of the week was us being pretty busy with lessons and member visits and whatnot. It's always enjoyable when we have a busy week as you feel much more fulfilled.

Conference weekend was great! We literally had 9 people watch it! And that number may be higher as some haven't gotten back to us!!! Like what!!! That's the most I've ever seen, so that was awesome. The messages and music all seemed to touch their hearts, and I hope each will act on the impressions they received. 

My experience with conference was ok. Not the most spiritually transformative one I've had, but it was still good nonetheless. I enjoyed being extra diligent in-between sessions and making the most about inviting people to listen to the living prophet of God speak.

We had some really good member visits with some members that have been inactive for a long time now. Some of them seem like they want to start coming back to Church which is super exciting. One asked for a blessing, which we were happy to give.

Not much Taylor Swift in my head this week. Just a bunch of terrible random songs. I just caught myself singing "All I Do Is Win, Win, Win," so please send help. I can't ever catch myself doing that again.

Anyways, I love all of you so much. For those who had an exceptionally difficult week, know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. It's hard to be away from family sometimes, but I'm grateful that I can testify of Heavenly Father's Plan of Happiness each day. I'm grateful for Jesus Christ Who makes all of it possible. I'm grateful for and looking forward to this Holy Week as we commemorate all that the Savior has done for us.

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...
