Week 60: A Whirlwind of Fireworks and Rain

What a week!

Seriously, so much has happened. I can't even believe that the 4th of July was on Tuesday!

But enough said, talk to y'all next week!!!

Lol, I guess I'll start with the 4th of July. Naturally, everyone was out partying, so the work was a little interesting. We did some facebook work, and then actually went out and knocked a lot of doors, which was kind of fun. Some guy showed us his Tesla, and he said he may check out Church sometime. The night scene was crazy though. Some people in the neighborhood next to our apartments went off on their fireworks, and gave us a show. It was quite the sight. 

It was also quite the sight to see when they accidentally shot off some firework at someone's house, and it lit up their entire driveway and garage. 

On Wednesday we went on exchanges with the APs. I went up to their area in Crestwood, and it was unique. Their area is whack. A bunch of rich people, and it's super spread out. But yeah, it was fun to see the entire transfer board in their apartment.

Thursday, our mission had a call with an MTC social media specialist, in which it kind of felt like she was chastising us. It was interesting. But at the same time inspiring? 🤷

Ok, now to some fun stuff. This weekend we saw some crazy flash floods.  And we went door knocking in it. I never thought in my life I would say this, but it was seriously so fun! Elder Smith and I got some rain coats on, used a singular umbrella, and went and pounded some doors. People were probably so lost when they opened the door to two drenched missionaries asking if they wanted a message about Jesus Christ, but it paid off, as we talked with a 16 year old, who only spoke Spanish, saying he would really like a message. Other than that, no one was interested. But we did our best. See video for a good time.

Sunday, no one came to Church. rip. I guess we have no friends. We'll see some next week. Hopefully. 

But President Eric Bednar was at Church for the other congregations, ward conference. So I talked with him about Fayetteville, and got a picture with him. It was really funny to see how similar to his Dad he is. But yeah, he talked about the Wagstaffs, President Gualdin, Brother Ammons, and others from Fayetteville. Small world indeed.

But yeah, that was the week I guess. Stay tuned for next week. Ciao!

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...
