Week 91: Logging and Roses

Heyoooo!

Week 91 in the books! This week we did a lot of member work, which straight up ate. Our zone was really focusing on Member Participating Lessons, and we were able to have 6! We are super hyped about the work here in Etown, as we're looking forward to having 7 or 8 friends at Church this coming week. It's gonna be epic!

We also did a lot of service for members this week. For one member, we trimmed some hedges and put some plywood back on the shed. After screwing 4 screws with a drill, the member asked my comp when he became such an master carpenter. So that became the meme of the week. 

For another member, we woke up early on Saturday morning to the stormy weather and drove to their home at 7am. We had breakfast with them, and then went out and worked on their 100 acre farm. They had a couple trees fall down. So while the member chainsawed them up, we loaded up a truck full of wood and cleared surrounding tree limbs. It was quite interesting to do in the sopping wet weather. There was mud everywhere, and my tennis shoes were certainly not sufficient and were officially ruined.

Probably the most exciting thing from this week, was our friend Esa. She's been reading the Book of Mormon pretty consistently and is on chapter 15 or 16. She texted us several times this week saying that the Book of Mormon is changing her life, and that it's helping her feel peace! So that is super exciting! We had a lesson with her yesterday and brought some members, and she instantly connected with one of them. We're really looking forward to her coming to Church for the first time next week!

Other than that, we had interviews this week, which are always a treat. We were practically at the church for like 6 hours that day, because we trained at the Old Kentucky District Council. So that was interesting. President McGinn gave me some good advice on returning home soon, which is exciting. 

Anyways, overall a good week this week. Looking forward to Zone Conference this coming week as it should be good.

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...
