Week 90: The Joe Rogan Experience

Hey y'all!

It's been a long one, but a good one!

Pretty much this week was spent with 3 exchanges. It was low key pretty exhausting and a lot, but it was also pretty fun.

This week as a zone, we had the goal to find 55 new friends, or 5 friends per area, and the zone absolutely crushed it! We found 68, and it was so awesome to see the zone put their faith to work. We're going for 50 Member Participating Lessons this week, and we're hoping to see some more miracles!

We drove the hour and a half down to Tompkinsville last Monday night, and blitzed their area on Tuesday. They don't have a car right now, so I was with Elder Charchenko on a bike for the day. It was actually pretty enjoyable, despite the fact that I totally broke his companions bike. #ripthederailerhanger. We found a couple of cool potentials and enjoyed getting to bike around town.

Wednesday was really my only day to fully work the Etown area, and it ate and left very few crumbs. We found 4 people that day, and had some pretty awesome lessons.

Thursday was an interesting day. We were planning on exchanging with the APs, but they weren't able to make it down until that evening. So that kind of made the day a little quirky, but it was all good. We did some finding, and then enjoyed being with the APs for the next day.

District Council was one of the quirkiest meetings of my mission. Their were so many people there: The STLs were training, the APs were there on exchanges with us, a new Senior Military Relations Couple was there for the first time, and the Zahlmanns (the office vehicle coordinator and mission secretary) were there. So it was a party. The Zahlmanns brought donuts which made it even more of a party.

We spent that afternoon exchanged with the APs, and Elder Kopinsky and I went down to Hogenville to do some finding. To exchange back, we met up in Lebanon Junction, and then immediately exchanged with the Shepherdsville Elders lol. I was with Elder Hanks for this exchange which was super fun, and we had a good time talking and doing a little bit of a Joe Rogan experience. Shepherdsville is a pretty cool area with a lot of people, and it was good to do some finding there. We found some super cool people that we're excited about.

Anyways, so that was way too much information about the way too many exchanges this week. Just kidding. It was a good time. 

The rest of the weeks activities were good. It's crazy we're already 2 and a half weeks into the transfer. Interviews are tomorrow, and Zone Conference is just around the corner. We've seen a lot of awesome miracles in this area over the last few months, and I'm excited to see where it goes over the next few weeks!

Love y'all and talk to you 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...
