Week 68: Miracles in the Work (w/ a capital W)

Well friends. It's been another week. And it was a week indeed.

Zone Conference!!
Agh! so glad we had a real one this transfer as opposed to last transfer's mini zone conference. It was good to gather again in the name of Christ. We talked a lot about the Book of Mormon, and the power that it can have on our friends. It's been really cool to see as we've put it into use over the last few days, and see the changes that have been made in our friends over such a short period of time!

Anyways, the rest of this week was a vibe.

We had dinner at one of our friends' parent's home, and it was so amazing! A, the food was delicious, and B, we had some great fellowshipping with some members there and had a bit of a lesson with her. 

My pickleball paddles came in from China this week. That was such a joy. Literally took 3 weeks, but I'm glad that they're here.

We went contacting at an Arts and Crafts festival thing on Saturday. Pretty much there were over 100 booths set up for people to display their merch. One of the booths had Brother Glatz' knives set up for purchase (a member from Corbin who owns a knife business). So that was kind of cool. We talked with the display person for a bit about that, but didn't purchase any since, you know, MSF and whatnot.

But other than that, we saw some really awesome progression with our friends this week. We taught Tony, Janet, and Jazzy on Friday, and had a really awesome discussion with them. Tony had watched most of the Prophet of the Restoration movie, and it was really awesome to see his questions (one of which was why does everyone hate us, lol). Tony and Janet came to Church yesterday, WITHOUT Jazzy! That sounds kind of sad that Jazzy wasn't there, but it was quite the opposite. Jazzy was out of town with her biological dad, and we didn't think that Tony and Janet would come to Church without Jazzy, since we think they've mostly been meeting with us for her. But they came!!! It was so awesome! Tony said afterwords to us that he's really grateful for us and that he has learned more over the last month, than in his entire life. Which was seriously the best to hear, after a rough week of pretty much all day finding (door knocking) every day. 

Also we had a member feed us last night, last minute, which was so kind and nice. It was a good end to an interesting week in the KLM. But then again, every week is interesting. So... until next week!

Sent 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...
