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 with her, and look forward to helping her progress towards Baptism.

Our second friend on date, was a friend named Omar. He's an etern-igator, but he has some renewed effort to get ready for baptism in August! Exciting stuff is happening!

We started up Pickleball Night here and are hoping to get some of the people we're teaching there. There's a couple people that may be interested in coming, and we're looking forward to it.

Wednesday! We got to go to the Temple! Aghh, I miss it so much! I loved going through the Temple for an Endowment Session again. Being on the mission, one of the things I miss most is being able to spend so much time in the Temple, and it was a joy to serve in the House of the Lord again. It was also cool to see a member from Henderson there and was good to be reunited with him again. Although we had to cut P-day short by 3 hours, it was worth it! Also, I'm excited for the Bentonville Arkansas Temple to be dedicated soon! 

Weekend: Lexington and Hamburg and what-not. Literally made 3 separate trips to Lexington this weekend. And let me tell ya, it's a gorgeous drive. Literally driving by million dollar homes with rolling hills was gorge. ZLC was on Saturday. You know, where we talk about leadership and what-not. Complete with a board room table in a roling discussion acting like we're all that and a bag of chips. Humble, am I right? Sunday we had Stake Conference which was enjoyable, and Sunday evening we had a New Member Fireside that we went to. It was really good to see some people from the Lexington Zone there as well. Some people that I had met on exchanges and what-not were there, which was really cool to see them again. (is "what-not" the word of the day??)

Anyways, that's probably all for now. Keep slaying out there! Love y'all so much!!!

My comp says I shouldn't be proud of this one year anniversary dinner. Not sure what he's talking about. Literally so cheap, and so good.

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...
