Week 99: Cincy Tornadoes

 Hey Hey Hey!!!


How's it going y'all?!

Hope you had a wonderful conference weekend, as I know I did!! So excited for the Temple in Cincinnati!!! Been praying for that one for years, so so grateful that it's finally happening!

But first off, it's finally April which is just insane! I literally go home next month, which is so weird to think. On Tuesday though, I went on exchanges with the Charlestown Elders which was pretty fun. We enjoyed teaching one of their friends on date who is super elect, and she's getting baptized this coming Saturday!

It was also an exciting exchange because there was some pretty sever storms and a couple of tornado sirens went off. Some tornadoes touched down near us, but thankfully we were ok. I wish I could be here another summer to have some more Kentuckiana thunderstorms in the summer. It's seriously like my favorite weather. 

The rest of the week was spent getting ready for General Conference with inviting anyone and everyone to watch a Prophet of God speak! We were able to have a lot of friends watch over the weekend, and it was really awesome to see them enjoy it!

On Friday, I gave a mini training in district council on Social Media, so that was a vibe. Always love captivating an audience of missionaries with doing work over social media. I tried to make it fun, so surely it was good for them.

But, Conference. I loved this weekend so much!! I just love getting to hear from ordained servants of God speak messages of hope and peace. I especially loved all of the messages about Temples, Temple work, and covenants, as that's a subject near and dear to my heart. I'm so grateful that the Prophet was able to speak even at 99 years old. So many of the messages from the weekend touched my heart, and I hope many of them did for you all as well! If you haven't listened to them yet, go give it a try at churchofjesuschrist.org

Other than that, this was good. We cancelled one of our exchanges, which gave us more time to work our area, so it was probably for the best. It's crazy that this week I will start the last transfer of my mission. We find out transfer news on Wednesday, and then transfers will be on Friday.

So yeah, next Monday will also be 100 weeks, or 23 months since my setting apart which is literally insane to think. Looking forward to the final transfer of my mission to finish strong in helping others come unto Christ!!

Love you all so much!!

One of the most interesting member meals of my life (#AprilFoolsDay). Essentially they made meatloaf in the shape of cupcakes (with Purple Mashed potatoes #squeezed on top as the frosting) and a "pizza" in the form of a cookie for the crust, strawberry glaze for sauce, and fruit and white chocolate shavings as toppings. So a vibe indeed. #dessertfirst with cupcakes first!

Once again severely lacking this week...
I also spent a whole 5 seconds proofreading this email, so surely there's no typod (oh wait, oof)

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...
