Week 56: Paris Mini Homes

 Week 56 in the books. Busy week for sure. Rapid fire update...

 - Exchange in Paris
 - Bucc-ee's on Monday with some members and other missionaries.
 - Pretty fun Board game called Scythe last P-day
 - New Members Hawaian/80s themed mini-home.

Lots of fun stuff indeed. Exchages in Paris were fun. I got to see the Eiffel Tower (a smaller one from Las Vegas) and taught a couple of cool friends. All while enjoying Elder Cooper's homeade caramel. 

Our new member, Cody is absolutely awesome! He's single and lives in a Mini-home, that's so fun looking! We show up for dinner, and we texted him that we weren't sure we were at the right place. He texted saying, "Do you see a mini home. lol" It was hilarious. We then had a photoshoot with it, while we waited for him to get there. He's getting ready to go through the Temple soon and he just received the Melkezidek Priesthood a few weeks ago. He's awesome.

Bucc-ee's on Monday. Fun to be back again. To some up the visit, we learned that the bathroom cleaners get paid $18 an hour ($20 an hour if overnight), and the general manager gets paid roughly $250,000. That's pretty much all that needs to be said, as everything there is ridiculously expensive. Except for the gas. Which is 50 cents cheaper than normal. I'm pretty sure they sell it for less than they buy it.

Anyways, other than all that fun stuff, we had an amazing week of finding and teaching. So many miracles this week, that truly testified this is the work of the Lord. They especially took place after our Spiritual Feast at Zone Conference that felt (in it's own small way) like the Day of Pentecost. It was President and Sister Alder's last Zone Conference before they complete their 3 year service at the end of the month. It was spiritually powerful to be able to gather together with 50+ missionaries and learn and teach together. I had the privelidge of playing the piano, and hearing those Elders and Sisters sing while playing, felt like an Angelic choir. President Alder left us with 5 steps to stay on the covenant path throughout the rest of our life which included finding an eternal companion. I choose to include that in this email as it was absoultely hilarious as he told us to never think of that again until we get home from our mission. lol.

But it was really bittersweet as we said goodbyes (even though we'll see them again in about 2 weeks for transfers). I will miss them for sure. They have both changed my life. There's really so much I could say, but this is already getting too long...

Just know that it was a good week in the KLM for Elder Creer

Oh and also, I got called Elder Hansen yesterday. A member here grew up in New Orleans, where my Mom is from. She apparently knew some of my Mom's family and went to school with them. She knows me by Hansen I guess, hahaha

Love y'all and talk to you next time (my next P-day won't be until Wednesday the 21st or Thursday the 22nd because they're changing the day transfers is on. We still don't really know what's happening🤷)

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...
