Week 62: village stuff

 This week was a lot of working in the Village. Allow me to explain

So we got to train the "La Ville" District up north on Wednesday, and naturally, we planned that training the day before. La Ville is an interesting district as it is (obviously) the villages of northern Kentucky and southern Indiana. Not really, but I find it funny to think about it that way. Not really sure why it's called that, imho. The Village is also an hour and 13 minutes from my family's house from when we lived in Cincinnati. So that's a vibe.

But yeah, we pretty much stayed inside for 90 % of the day on Tuesday to plan for the village stuff (lol, I can't get over that phrase). We sacrificed basketball night on Tuesday in order to do some Facebook work, and it paid off.

Wednesday: The Village.
We drove up to Carrollton, KY that morning, enjoyed a lively training on working with members, and then promptly exchanged with the Madison Elders, following a lovely dining sesh at Wendy's, of course. The employee gave me a free frosty which was fun.

I went up to Madison, IN for exchanges with my former comp, Elder Kalb, which was fun. It's been about 8 months since I've set foot on Indiana earth, and it was unique. Indiana is a whole other world compared to Kentucky. And that's a fact. We spent most of the exchange trying to film this video for the Friends of Christ Facebook Page, and nobody wanted to talk to us and get interviewed about the 2 Great Commandments. It was a vibe as a man came out of a coffee shop and started talking about how "mormons" are infiltrating the government because of the "people skills" they learn on their missions from the Church Brain washing them. Needless to say, he didn't want to be asked how he shows his love for his neighbor. 

Friday. Volleyball night. Vibe. We got our friend Jazzy there!!!! Which was so awesome!! She's making some friends which is super exciting!

Jazzy's parents also came to Church on Sunday, and even stayed for 2nd hour which was super great to see as well. We really hope that we can help her parents progress as well, as they're a little more in it to support Jazzy than anything. But we're excited to see where it goes!

But yeah. Enjoy the video of us hanging with Tortoises. The other Ward's Bishop invited us over for dinner last Monday (long story), and he just casually has 10 tortoises roaming his backyard.

Other than that, this week was a vibe. Just Village stuff and whatnot. Until next week!

Much 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...
