Week 84: Merry Christmas to All, and to All a Good Night

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 Etown with Elder Hunsaker. It was a vibe.

Campbellsville has a new senior couple, and they are super awesome. They treated us to a Chinese Buffet at the end of our blitz which was good. We also got some Zaxbys for lunch which was 😋

And then there was Christmas!
Probably one of my favorite gifts was I found out Tony, Janet, and Jazzy are on date for baptism January 20th!!! I was so excited!! Best present ever. Surely, I'll be allowed to go. Surely!

Anyways, it was a slay of a week. Excited for New Years! Always a party!

Hope y'all have an awesome week of break!

With Love,

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...
