Week 55: Go Big Blue!

Hey. Not really sure what to write about today. A lot happened though probably.

Went to Lexington on exchanges with the ZLs. Pretty fun party to be a UK elder for a day though. UK campus is gorgeous. Even though there's like no one on campus for the summer, and we did a lot of door knocking on college apartments. It was really fun to be in a big city again. So much fun!

This week was definitely a finding grind though. Lots of door knocking with a lot of rejection. But we had a couple of good finds, so it was overall good. Take for example our mircle filled bike day last Tuesday. We decided to go on our bikes all day on Tuesday, and it went crazy well. Like seriously so much awesome stuff happened. Literally we pull up to an apartment complex with like 100 apartments and the first door we knocked, 2 super interested people came out and sounded like they were wanting us to come back and talk some more. While we were sitting in the shade reporting that, another guy came out of his apartment with his dog, and randomly started talking to us. He offered us freezy pops, and then brought his girlfriend out. She said that she had seen us biking on the road, and she said that we were welcome to come in and talk with them. We ended up teaching the Restoration to him, and hopefully we'll be able to go back soon and teach them both. (she had to go to work, before we started teaching).

We also had interviews, and this was President Alder's last round of interviews before he returns home at the end of the month after serving for 3 years. It was bitter-sweet to sit with him one last time, one-on-one. He shared with me his testimony of the Savior which I trust will remain with me forever. I'm indeed grateful for my consecrated mission president and his companion. 

Overall, this was a more difficult week, but I'm grateful that things work out, and that I can keep pressing forward. Looking forward to zone conference on Friday!!
With Love,

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...
