Week 94: Livin' in Hoosierville

 Hey hey hey party people!


What a week here in the KLM! Lots of happenings fr. We had transfers last week which was always a fun time. I ended up getting transferred up to New Albany, Indiana on Friday and it's just absolutely crazy that this will probably be the last area of my mission. Sheesh.

But this area leaves very few crumbs. Tons and tons of work to do which is just always a blast. We had a baptism on Saturday, so that was a good way to start the area I guess, lol. He's super cool and is the fiance of a member. #flirttoconvert if you know what I mean.

But, back to Etown. I had perhaps the most interesting member meal experience of my life on Wednesday. They were on the Carnivore diet and so they had a medium sized domino's pizza for us, and then they were cooking T-bone steaks for themselves. The husband thought it was hilarious that she just bought us a single pizza and so he offered to cook us up some steak as well lol. They only referred to each other as "baby," and for their diet, they only eat meat, salt, and water. So very interesting night indeed.

My mom's birthday was on Wednesday which was also exciting. Happy 44th to Mom!

Other than that, my last few days in Etown were wonderful. I said by to friends, put a new friend on date for baptism, and left feeling accomplished and that the work of the Lord had been accomplished over the last 3 transfers of my service there.

Overall, I'm excited to be here in New Albany and a super excited for the work that's about to happen here.

The Ward here is super awesome and there's so many super cool members! There are actually some Creers in the Ward which was the definition of a small world moment. They are related through my 4th great grandfather's second wife (after his first wife passed away). So I think I met the first Creer in my life that I did not already know about lol.

Anyways! Here's some pics for the week!



Goodbye to friends!

Fun Times!


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...
