Week 96: Ferdinand, Just 10 Years Later

Hey hey hey!

Well, I guess it's been another week in the KLM! This week was a vibe. We enjoyed a fun exchange in Jasper, Indiana this week. It's about an hour drive from here of just straight corn fields along I-64. We blitzed their area, and had a member meal with 6 missionaries, which was a first for me on the mish. It was pretty fun ngl. Getting off I-64 at the Jasper exit, we passed by a  Wendy's that the Larsons and I ate at 10 years ago around 11:30pm after a day at Holiday World. So that's a blast back to the past if I've ever seen one.

This past week I hit 22 months as a missionary, which is insane. In honor of said occasion, we cleaned out 2 sheds full of Kentucky Level junk. One of the sheds was coated in oil, antifreeze, paint thinner, and probably several other vaporous liquids that we hundred percent should not have inhaled. If a match was lit in that place it would have def gone up in flames. So that was a vibe. We were taking shovels to all the junk and debris. So that was a vibe. It was for a guy's dad who passed away a few months ago, and they treated us to some lunch afterwords at an absolutely fire pork and burger joint.

We also had a friend play basketball this week, and he came to Church the following day which was super exciting! We had a Sunday School Class specifically for new members and friends yesterday and he was making some fire comments, so we're pretty hyped about Charlie. 

Overall the members in this area are just awesome. I love this ward, and am so glad to call it home for the end of my mission. I had dinner with the Creer family this week, and we decided that I'm 3rd cousins, once removed with him. So that's a vibe.

But overall, good week, and I'm excited for the next 10 weeks!


Peace!

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 53: Into Year Two We Go

Image
  Ohhh my goodness. Thank GOODness it's P-day. Literally haven't had a p-day in 3 weeks.   2 weeks ago was moving day in Corbin, Last week we had a shortened p-day (see below) and finally we have today! Hallelujah! I'm about to take an all day p-day rather than cutting it off at 6. Lol, I'm kidding. I'm not that apostate. Anyways, this was a good week! Definitely felt it towards the end, but good nonetheless! We put two friends on date for baptism 🎊🥳🎊!!! Tuesday, we had a call with a new friend, and taught her the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She expressed a lot of desire to be baptized and we talked about how as missionaries, you know, that's what we do. We taught her particularly about the gift of the Holy Ghost. She readily accepted to be baptized on July 1st! Later in the week we taught her the Restoration, and her response to the First Vision was so powerful. She simply said, "Wow!" and you could tell she knew it was true! We'll continue to work...

Week 98: Picturesque Thai

Hey hey hey party peeps! How's it going? Good week in the KLM. Indiana is a vibe, and I got to see a lot of a lot of Southern Indiana this week as we went on exchanges with the Tell City Elders. I went there with Elder Meilstrup, which was a fun little reunion from back when I was his district leader in Winchester. We got some fun work done there and even crossed over into the Kentucky half of their area and found a few potentials. We exchanged back that night over in New Albany as we had Zone Conference the next day, so we just had all of us stay the night in New Albany. Zone conference was good. It wasn't anything too crazy. It started to hit me that I'm the next group for giving departing testimonies, so that's super weird. We emphasized Preach My Gospel a lot as well as our purpose as missionaries and it sounded like the zone really enjoyed it. The rest of the week was good. We exchanged with the Clarksville Bike Elders, and I stayed in New Albany with Elder Crane f...
