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!
