On p-day - this is what the streets all look like in our neighborhood.
At Church on Fast Sunday -- wearing my Fast Sunday tie matching Brad's tie.
But to answer your questions, yes I am in Logan
Square. Our church building is the Logan Square building! Our ward is the
Chicago 3 ward but the english ward in our building is the Logan Square
somethingth ward. But we haven't ridden the bus or metro yet because it is
still warm enough to ride our bikes. When it gets really cold or starts to snow
we get bus passes so that should be in a few weeks. It is starting to get
pretty cold here though, not freezing yet but in the afternoons if we don't
have jackets we get freezing so I am just starting to bring my black rain
jacket with me everywhere now. But yeah I see the mission president, we saw him
at a zone conference and we had interviews with him a little while ago but it
isn't like I see him everyday. We do send letters to him every week though and
he
reads and basically studies every single one. We eat at members houses about
every other day but it depends on the week. Like this week we ate with one
member and had some snacks with another, but the week before we had like 5
dinner appointments so it just depends. Yesterday we also had a member buy us
McDonalds which was so nice! But no I haven't had to speak yet and I think
I will most likely be here with Elder Gomez this next transfer but I am not
100% sure! Hahahaha no I don't need you to send me protein! But if you could
send me some good vitamins to take that would be very helpful!
Things are going great this week! I thought
that this would never be my home but it is starting to feel like it, just
in a different way then the home in Salt Lake. I am comfortable here
and I love it here. I think I was expecting to feel like oh for this to be
home it will feel exactly how the house did in Salt Lake, it
definitely doesn't feel like that but it is home for me now!
A cool experience was a few weeks ago on a day when
I just wanted to sit down and just relax for 15 minutes before
this appointment with a member, my companion said lets go walk and see if
we can find anyone to talk to. We ended up finding this woman
named Socorro. She was just so happy to see us and we talked to her and
got her information. We had been trying to go back to her house, but we could just never reach her because she wasn't home. This week we
have found her twice(Twice other than the initial contact)! We happened to find her
when she was returning from her walk, like it was honestly the perfect
timing that we would be able to find her(both times we found her at that
time) But the first time we taught her, second time talking in total, we
just gave her a restoration pamphlet and a Bookof Mormon and just getting to
know her more. The next time we saw her, third in total, we were teaching
her about the restoration and it was so easy because she had already read
the pamphlet and loved it! We told her to pray about it after we were done
teaching the lesson and she was just like, oh I already know it is true.
This was such a miracle! I love teaching her and she always brightens my
day! We always teach her on days when I am super tired and everything
and after the lesson I always am energetic and love the work! When
she smiles I can't help but smile, I just love her so much!
Last pday we went downtown and we went to Navy
Pier and everything! It was so sweet and the city is amazing! We also went to a
pizza place called Giordanos, it is one of the famous pizza places with like 5 inch deep pizzas and it was amazing, best pizza ever! But I
have been trying so many different restaurants here and they are all so delicious! I will send pictures of everything in a
second!
Love you so much and miss you all! Have a great
week and keep staying healthy!
