Week 97: I Believe in Christ ~ An Easter Devotional

 Hey!


Happy P-day, y'all!! We're approaching week 100, and it's getting surreal. Shoutout to Sister Matthews and Sister Patterson for completing their missions this past week!! Super exciting stuff!

Anyways, this week was good. We enjoyed 2 exchanges; one with the APs, and one with the Salem Elders.

On Tuesday, I ran it back up with Elder Nelson here in New Albany. This was a really impactful exchange for me, and perhaps one of the most powerful ones of my mission. I love Elder Nelson, and am grateful for his dedicated discipleship <3

Thursday to Friday, I ran it back again with Elder Ford, also here in New Albany. Him and I enjoyed a good day of finding and randomly knocking into a member while door-knocking. #todayfilter

Friday we enjoyed two district councils, and we trained at my son's Hoosier District. He had a great training on remembering.  #fullcirclemoment

Saturday was interesting. That's about the best way to describe it. We essentially started off bright and early at 8am helping a member move. That job took until 12:30, moving stuff back and forth on a tiny trailer to a storage unit, to goodwill, etc. We then got roped into another service project that took us until 4:30. For this one, we loaded up mission cars with a bunch of storage unit stuff and hauled it to another storage unit a mile down the road.  #nevergettingastorageunit

After a 5-6pm Personal Study, we had a fire lesson at the Church with Charlie. Then, we went back home, had dinner, planned for #ZoCo16 and called it a day. 

Interesting day indeed.

Sunday was awesome. I love Palm Sunday. We had a wonderful Sacrament meeting and enjoyed seeing Charlie there. In the evening, though, the Stake had an Easter devotional, and it was so powerful. They had a bunch of special musical numbers, and they even had a piece from the Lamb of God in there, which is such a powerful concert for me. It was just a good day, and it was great to be apart of the Stake's first annual Easter Devotional.

So yeah. Just chilling here in New Albany. Excited for this coming week of my second to last zone conference, and two exchanges. Should be some good stuff.

Love y'all so much!!!

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...
