Week 81: 30 for 30 Baby!

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 PRs all over the place fr fr.

Excited for all the epic things that will come of it.

Found out I was 5th cousins with my comp after doing the family search relative around me thing with another person with the last name of Hansen. Turns out, him and I were 5th cousins once removed, but me and my comp were closer without the removal.

Finely dined at Olive Garden. Vivid memories from BYU winter semester. But holy cow that place is expensive. Ain't no way I was paying 20+ bucks for an entree. #Bottomlessbreadsticksunite 🥖🥖🥖🥖

Oh. We also set up a 9 foot tall Christmas tree in our apartment. It looks so epic❤️🎄

Transfers are this week. We'll see what Christmas has in store. Also, 2 zone conferences next transfer?? Big things y'all.

But for real. This transfer has been awesome. I've learned so much from Elder Bowen, Elder Nelson, and everyone else. It's been real!

Love y'all so much!
Talk to y'all next week!

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...
