Week 100! Eclipse Over Louisville

Y'all.

Last P-day is up there as one of my favorites from the mission. It was so heat. The Total Eclipse was last Monday, and so we had District P-day around it. We all went to Wal-Mart together and got a bunch of food to grill out with, and then went back and grilled up some burgers, hot dogs, and pineapple and had a grand old time. After the food, we headed over to the walking bridge that spans the Ohio River from Louisville over to Indiana, and we watched the eclipse as a district. We were at about 99.5% totality, so we were just outside of totality, but it got pretty dark and the lights on the bridges turned on, which was super cool.


It was honestly such a vibe, and I loved it so much. I kind of want to be back in Louisville on that bridge 21 years from now when the next big total eclipse happens. It would kind of be fun to reminisce lol.


But other than that, it was another week of missionary work. But not just any week. My 100th week! Holy Cow, that's ludicrous to think about. Triple Digits on the mish. Crazy.


This past week was the last week of the transfer, so Elder Passey and I scheduled no exchanges and we just worked hard together. Transfer news came Wednesday night, and we found out that Elder Passey was heading over to Evansville (Newburgh 1st Ward), and I was getting Elder Schumann. Elder Schumann's from Compton, California (aka the hood of LA), and I'm excited for the coming transfer with him.


Coming home from transfers was quite the predicament trying to fit 4 Elders and 2 sets of luggage in a Nissan rogue. That was a fun little Tetris match. But we had a good weekend of getting to work the area despite having some transfer planning over the weekend.


So in other words, although I only have 6 weeks left, I've committed to myself and to the Lord that I'm giving it everything I got! I only got 40 more days to represent the Lord as a full-time missionary, and I want to make them count. 


One sad thing from this week was that I found out at transfers that one of the older friends I taught in my first area passed away. Good old Bob struggled with a lot of health problems in the last few years, and I'm grateful that he's now at peace in the Spirit World.



Peace!

Week 53: Into Year Two We Go

  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 24: Oh...uh (subtle laugh)...I don't believe in the mormons...

Happy Happy Halloween! First of all, the next person to call me a quote on quote "Mormon", is not going to have a happy halloween...lol, but sorry. Tbh, the term mormon sounds like an insult...I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, plz, thank you, next. Basically the way this conversation went was we had a super awesome lesson over the phone with this lady a couple weeks ago, and she said that she would like to come to church with us sometime. Well, we basically get blocked by her. We go over to her apartment, and we unblocked ourselves from her phone (literally lol) because we didn't think she blocked us on purpose, and we didn't really think she knew how to use her phone very well. Anyways. We set up another phone lesson and we're blocked again. 2 weeks go by and we stop by her apartment and she said that today she was pretty busy and couldn't talk. SO...we naturally ask when would be a better time, and she said "Oh, I don't re...

Week 21: Double Double, Toil and Trouble (Pt. 4)

  Hi. Welcome back to Elder Creer's monologue I guess. Well it's transfer news again and I am staying another one in Henderson with Elder Kalb! I'm honestly pretty glad. At the beginning of this week, I was kind of feeling like I failed in holding up this area, but I get another 6 weeks to see what we can do. So that'll be fun. But at the same time it'll be crazy to think that I will have lived in Henderson, Kentucky for 6 months of my life by the time this next one is over. Also! Shoutout to Sister Matthews and Sister Henderson starting the MTC today! Looking back, the MTC was probably one of the more fun parts of my mission (albeit one of the most difficult). So I hope that y'all will both love it! But anyways, this week was unique. Tuesday through Thursday were such a drag it wasn't even funny. Like we literally knocked doors all day. So fun. But the last half of the week was pretty good. We FINALLY found a new person to teach last night, so that was awes...
