Week 57: A Semi of Food

Well y'all, another week in the books.

Welcome back to Elder Creer's weekly synopsis. Super exciting stuff, I know. 

Turns out they lied to us, and P-day is actually today instead of Wednesday. 

Well, this week was interesting. Lots of service. Like a lot. Tuesday we helped our neighbor out by building their ramp for a wheelchair. It took like 3 hours, as all the pieces were scattered throughout their porch and backyard for the last few months (since the last attempt at building it) and their were no instructions. Pretty fun to try and piece it all together. Used about a quarter of the available parts, so hopefully it'll work 🤪

Cool things happening in the work, though! We have a really promising friend in the Beattyville Branch Boundaries (which consists of 5 active member, 2 couples, and one widow). She will be a great blessing to the Branch, and we're really hoping that Nancy will get baptized soon (shoutout to Granny!)

We also had a friend come to Church Yesterday, that hasn't been in several months. He was a great addition to the Ward, and the members were so welcoming to him. In Sunday School, there was a member that made some interesting false doctrine comments (like Jesus Christ will forfeit salvation and live in hell for eternity as a necessary part of His sacrifice for us). Just straight apostate comments, that no one really knows where they came from. But Larry (our friend at Church) brought the Spirit back with an awesome comment about Spiritual food and needing our daily manna.

Fun fact, that same member also believes that Heavenly Father was a failed Mediator, which is why Jesus Christ is now our Mediator. Literally have no idea where he gets all that stuff. Let's just say, I felt the tension in the room as he talked. On the way out, he passed us and told us to come by his house and get some candy from him (freshly made that morning, of course).

Anyways, enough with apostasy and whatnot.
The members showed up this week, and we enjoyed several awesome meals with some families. Our Ward Mission Leader is also just straight up the best (a rare thing I have found on the mission). He relates so well with our friends, and is just hilarious.

But, this is getting long enough. Transfer news comes out Wednesday, and then Transfers will be on Friday. So should be an exciting week. I'm definitely getting a new companion, since my companion has finished up his 2 years. We'll see what happens. Looking forward to another work in the field!

Pictures:

- Semi of food the Church donated. We helped distribute it to about a dozen organizations and food banks in Morehead at a massive warehouse that doubled as an Emergency Services dispatch center on Friday.

- The food we distributed to the Winchester First Baptist Church that we help serve at every Saturday 

- District Lunch at El Camino (Fun Fact: they charge for birthday desserts. Also fun fact: I did not request the birthday dessert)

- Fully (yet partially) assembled ramp


- Zone Conference (the Alders' last😥)


'Till next week y'all!!

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

  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...
