We Finna Have a Black Christmas


I really don't get the weather in this place and I don't think I ever will haha. This week started out way cold, like 10-20 degrees but now all sudden were in the 40-50s again which I'm OK with because it feels great to bike in! We had some polar biking days this week which was pretty cool! (Literally)

This week was awesome! I love being with Elder Heffner, he loves to bike in whatever weather and it's been making us get around so much faster than with the slow bus. We put on a lot of miles this week and my legs could be huge soon!!! Also we fixed my brakes this week so now I have less of a chance of not running into traffic!!

This week we had our Christmas zone conference which was super awesome and spirit led. There is nothing better than seeing the energy to get missionaries going even though the cold and dark is coming. To prepare for zone conference I went on an exchange with the other zone leader Elder Shupe to the west side, a glorious land where 13 people got shot two nights ago (and that was in the nice part?! Pray for Chicago and the cursed land of Illinois, they killed a prophet so it’s their fault) but it was pretty legendary we got to have a great time. 

The family we baptized last week the Rotimi's moved from out of our area to the other Elder’s area, and we helped them get everything done. They were super happy to get out of the Lowe building with 22 floors and elevators always breaking down and bug infested (yup that's my prime proselyting place the good ol Lowe building). They still live in the ward which is way good and in a much better home and area.

It's been pretty incredible to see several of the families we've baptized in that slummy building have been able to move out and get a much nicer place in a much better neighborhood with way better schools and closer to the church. The Lord's blessings are real! It's going to be cool because I'll go on an exchange there this next week and go do a lesson in their new place.

That's pretty much all that happened this week, excited for Christmas and blessed to be here with the best of people! Everyone stay blessed these holidays and have a Merry Christmas!
