Week 70: budge boy sweet 16

 Oh hey 😏 


It's Elder Creer, again. Just another week in the chat. But sheesh this week had a whole lot happen! 

That thing that happens every 6 weeks happened this past week. Elder Smith finished his mission, so (in his words) he's back in the factory *sad face emoji*. But that means a new companion is in town! Elder Murray is my new comp! We actually lived in the same dorm building at BYU together, so that's kind of fun. I think we knew of each other, but low key, I can't fully remember. It was fun to talk about the fire alarms that went off in the middle of the night like once every 2 weeks while we were there. #budgeboisunite

So yeah, Elder Murray and I have been running it up since Friday afternoon, and it's been really good. We will see where the miracles of this transfer take us!

Ok, so this week we went on exchanges with the Madison Elders. We went door knocking with a 19 year old member who wants to serve a mission. Mans legit knew everyone in this trailer park that we knocked. We knock on a door and some guy cracks the door, says "We're not interested. Sorry Davis," and shuts the door in his face. Like sheesh, that's cold. Thankfully, he brushed it off like a true missionary, but I did feel a little bad for him after that. We did find someone really cool to teach though, so it worked out :)

We also had some wholesome goodbye lessons with our friends this week here in Shelbyville. Our friends were sad to see Elder Smith go, but for the most part we think they've transitioned nicely to Elder Murray. What was really cool, was at volleyball night, Makenzie and Jazzy showed up, and they made up after having some beef the last few weeks. 

Jazzy's mom also bought me some poison ivy stuff. Because holy cow poison ivy is terrible. Like low key, it's all over me rn. That cemetery clean up last week proved fatal. smh

We had dinner at our Bishop's house, and it was so fun! They talked about their missions and how they met. They asked if we had girlfriends back home and if they've dumped us, lol. It was funny.

But yeah. Overall, it was a really good week. A lot of planning and packing, but I look forward to what the next week has in store!

'Till next time!!

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...
