Week 89: Flash Floods in Etown

Hey y'all! Another week down in the KLM!

This was another good one. No more marriage seminars, but we did end up teaching that guy yesterday, so that's a vibe.

Let's see. It literally rained everyday this week, and was low-key mega depressing. It was also the first full week of the transfer, so we had a ridiculous amount of meetings. Like sheesh, it felt like we didn't start proselyting until 4pm a couple of days this week. But we still got it done! We found 8 new friends, and I'm just in awe at how elect Etown is! We are making a push as a zone to have 55 collective new friends this week, and we're excited to see some faith put to work. 

Enough with the numbers though. Let's talk about some people. Our friend Jessica came to Church yesterday! We were so excited! This is the first time in like 8 weeks we've had someone at Church and we were so happy to see her there. One of the members is apparently her son's pre-school teacher, and the Ward just rallied around her, which was so awesome to see. We also had a facebook friend named Ace come to Church. Picture this. A man you've never seen before walks into the lobby of the Church, looks at you with a grin in his eye, and says "Is one of y'all Hunter?" So that's how we met Ace for the first time. Cool guy, and seemed like he enjoyed Church.

Other things this week? 2 (brand new) cars broke down in the Zone within 24 hours of each other. I felt bad for our vehicle coordinator so I texted him...
"Sounds like it's been a rough 24 hours for cars in the Etown Zone. Let us know if there's anything we can do to help! Love ya, Elder Z!"

He replied with
"I sure love you, too. E-Town is only part of the day’s activities. It has been brutal today. I still love being here with all of you, there are just days that are more challenging."

So pray for the cars of the KLM I guess. And for Elder Z.

Had Mexican food twice this week. Once with a member, and once with the Old Kentucky District. The former food was a vibe with conversation mid. The latter food was mid with conversation vibe.
(both conversations were actually great, I just loved how those sentences looked)

We exchanged with the Bike Elders again this week. This time I was with Elder Reid and biked around town. It was actually super fun to bike, and thankfully it didn't really rain at all while we biked

As for the subject line, it absolutely poured down rain Saturday night, and it was pretty cool to drive through. We could barely see the road. I'm just glad that we finished knocking doors like 5 minutes before it started to let loose. There was also some pretty cool lightning which was fun as well.

Anyways, hopefully y'all had a great week! I pray for y'all everyday!

Peace!

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...
