Week 83: the bold menace

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 missionaries become the best they can be. Elder Thomas also convinced our vehicle coordinator to trade in our equinox for a Rogue, so we're super excited to get a Rogue on Wednesday. Also! New phone! I got a Church-owned phone at MLC, and I now don't have to look through a shattered screen. It's slay, fr fr

Other fun things include ZLC with the STLs and District Leaders of the Zone. Brandenburg had two baptisms the same day, and our whole district made it. Granted we pulled up 3 minutes early, but 5 minutes after the baptism had already happened, but it was all good. Lol.

New friend at Church this week as well, which was awesome! Of course we had 5 planning to come, and only 1 actually came, but that's life sometimes. Paul really enjoyed Church, even if it felt like we did a deep dive on the Book of Revelation in Sunday School. So that's good. One of our new converts was such a good friend to Paul in helping him feel welcome, as well.

But yeah, I can't believe Christmas is in a week! That's insane to think that it's been another year. Our Pday was moved to Tuesday next week, so that should be interesting. 

Looking forward to the last week of proselyting before the celebration of the Savior's birth

Love y'all so much!!! Have a very merry Holiday Break!!!

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...
