Short Week


This was a short week because last P-day was on Wednesday, but it was a really great one!

We had exchanges with the AP's which was awesome; my boy Elder Van Tassell came here with me to the Northside. We've gone on like 6 exchanges with each other now and were also companions at one point, which means he's on the level of ultra homie. It was a great day of finding the elect on the cold streets of Chicago!

Other than that almost everything was the same old stuff, finding new people, teaching them, and trying to get them to church. This week we had an almost "south side" moment because we committed like 10 people to come to church and made plans to get them there and then 1 showed up. On the south side our ratios were usually worse, making plans for 25 people and getting one haha. But hey if we get 100 people committed then we just might get a lot of people at Church! There's the goal for this week!

We found an active Nigerian member who said he's down to come out with us to teach this awesome new family we found, so we're really looking forward to that this weekend and hope their schedules will align. Getting member present lessons are extremely hard in the city. We've been trying really hard to get some here and it looks like we're going to be getting some this week which we are pumped about!

We biked to the temple last week which was awesome but my tire was bulging the next morning and now I might be rocking a bike with the wrong size of tire for a little while haha should be interesting. 

Missionary work is the best; life in Chicago is awesome although I'm so excited for winter to be over so it can be hot outside like Southern Utah. Hope everyone has an amazing week!
