My Old Kentucky Home

Merry Christmas, Y'all! Hope you had a wonderful time enjoying friends and family while celebrating the Savior's birth. The KLM was good this week. We had Christmas ZoCo which was really enjoyable. We made little missionary ornaments like the ones in Elder Gong's talk from the First Presidency Christmas Devotional. It was also so fun to see 3 zones' worth of missionaries, and I got to see some of my best friends! We had everyone there share their favorite Book of Mormon verse, as we've all read it cover to cover over the last 4 months together. It was a really good time. We had two exchanges this week. One with the Radcliff Elders, and one where we both went down to Campbellsville to blitz their area. We simply had one goal, and it was to get 30 testifying contacts, and to light the lighthouse. It was fire. We only got it in the Campbellsville blitz, but we did good work with Radcliff as well. Sadly, I did not become a Radcliffian for the day, but stayed here in Eto...

This week was probably the boldest I've ever been in my life. We got stupid bold at some points, and super humbled at others. Elder Thomas kept saying we were absolute menaces. It was a pretty fun week.  Overall, I can't really remember much in particular from this week. There was just a lot of bold testifying going on, which was super fun. Some notable events were us volunteering at a homeless shelter for an hour. We were supposed to greet and hand out food, but we ended up standing around for like 55 minutes and then handing out food for like 5 minutes. Then we had to leave for another appointment. So that was an interesting use of time. But I think we helped make their day a little better, so it was worth it. MLC was this week which was super fun! I loved getting to see my missionary friends again <3. We talked about how 1/3 of the KLM is in their first 3 transfers right now, and so a large part of our discussion was about how we can effectively help the younger missionar...

  What a few days it's been! To begin this weekly installment of Elder Creer's monologue, my companion got called to be the new AP last Sunday night which sent our entire week in scrambling mode. He was told he would be picked up the following evening (Monday) at 5pm. So yeah. he packed until like 11, and then woke up again in the middle of the night to finish packing lol. But Pday! Holy cow, last pday was Fire! One of the Sisters in our district worked at an escape room for a year and a half and she made a full "Polar Express" themed escape room for us to enjoy. It was actually so awesome! Like 10/10 would recommend. Probably one of the best district pdays I've had on the mission. We just chilled at the Brandenburg church, and one of the other Sister's Dad's catered us Chick-Fil-A for her last pday. #Paul4thewin. It was a good day. But also stressful, because it meant I was getting a new temporary comp for the next few days. The APs essentially told me th...

Ain't no way! It's been another week here in the KLM! Two exchanges, minivan mom mode, some fine dining, and a First Presidency Christmas Devotional to go along with it. First up, we exchanged with the Shepherdsville Elders from Tuesday to Wednesday. I stayed down here in Etown with Elder Payne. He is my brother and is going home at the end of this transfer, so that's pretty cool. No comments needed. Actually. I will comment that we had an absolutely awesome day sharing the gospel. Between both companionships, we testified a whole bunch, and enjoyed the day! Wednesday-Thursday we exchanged with the Assistants to the Mission President, who practically have their calling and election made sure. Surely. Elder Kopinsky and I drove around in their brand new Chrysler Pacifica in boujee fashion. #feltlikequeens Big news though. This week, in combination with our exchanges, we taught 30 lessons🤯🤯🤯🤯 And we averaged 30 testifying contacts a day🤯🤯🤯🤯! Big things y'all! New ...
