Week 82: Pick Your Comp

 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 that President told me to pick my comp from one of the Radcliff Elders. So that was hilarious. Thus my 13th comp was chosen to be Elder Cael Perry, a visa waiter for the Japan Sapporo Mission #chadsmydad. Him and I had a blast together and got 2 days in a row of 30 testifying contacts. He's awesome, and I loved getting to know each other more before he will eventually head for Japan.

Then. Transfer Calls. Elder Thomas was announced as my new companion. He's from Cokeville, Wyoming, and came from the New Albany area. It's been a good few days with him, and I'm looking forward to spending the Holiday Season with him! Which sheesh! I can't believe Christmas is 2 weeks from today.

Anyways, other than that, the last few days have been full of crazy weather, lots of planning, lots of training, and lots of testifying. It's been fun. Definitely didn't get 30 lessons this week, but that's all good. We're aiming for it, and that's what counts.

Exciting things are ahead! Only 4 more transfers left, and it's starting to hit me that I only have so many weeks of this left.

Love y'all!!!

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...
