| Elder Perez and I with the Familia Rojas., the family we live with. (They are missing their three older sons, and the mother is pregnant with a girl.) |
We went to the temple on Saturday but we worked the other part of
the day so today we are doing our laundry and emailing and stuff but we can't
play today. Yeah and first of all, happy birthday to Dad last week too! And again
happy birthday to you, Mom! What did you guys do to celebrate?
But this week has been great but super busy! We have been running
around all week having to help a bunch of other missionaries! So on Wednesday I
got certified to drive the transfer van, so like a big 16 seater, and now in
our area we have a car too! It is so different driving here in Chicago than it
is in Utah! All of the streets here are so packed with cars and potholes and
the drivers all are fearless! Also, now I can parallel park like a boss! Also this week we had to go and bless one of the hermanas’
apartments because their house was feeling dark and they hadn't been able to
sleep for a while so anyways we went and we brought Hermano Rojas and we left
at like 9:30 and we got home at like 11:15. We were so grateful that the
Hermano came with us because we were talking to the mission president about it
and he said that the only way we could be in the house at the same time as the
hermanas was if we had a member so it was great that the hermanas could listen
to the prayer.
We had a great experience at the temple this week though, it was
just super simple but the spirit was strong. We rode up with the familia Rojas
and came back with them because they had a primary activity there so they gave
us a ride. So the familia Rojas is the family that we live with and they are
amazing! They are the nicest family alive! They help us with everything! They
love it too because they have a bunch of boys so the parents love them being
around us! I love their family so much!
We don't have like any investigators right now so that has been hard
but we have been working so well with all of the less actives, we are so close
to a lot of reactivations with people who haven't come in years so that's
amazing! Everything is going great here though! I am just loving being a
missionary and everything here! The people are truly amazing here!
[This week we received a letter from Elder Eichers' mission president that informed us that Garrett has been called to serve as a Zone Leader in the Chicago North Spanish Zone. Good thing we got that letter as Garrett might not have ever told us.]
