This week was awesome!
I got thrown right into it all super fast and am loving it here in Naperville
zone! It's kinda weird though because in the YSA we cover like 5 zones so our
area is massive.
On transfers we got
dropped off and I had to say goodbye to my boy Elder Christensen and tears were
shed (not really but he is a legend) and then I got my new comp Elder Anderson!
And the first thing we did is lead a meeting for all the new missionaries,
which was awesome! There were only three new missionaries, so it was a small
group, but it was awesome!
We hit a campus every
day not far from our apartment called the college of DuPage. It's pretty weird
to be on the campus again but it's pretty legendary too! YSA's are super open
to talking to us about anything, so it makes it pretty easy. Of course though 4
out of the 5 we found this week have already dropped us though haha.
We have this sick
homie we're teaching named Eli who goes to the college. He's in a wheel chair
from a shooting on the Southside. Got shot in the spine and is paralyzed from
the chest down, but has full movement in his arms. This dude can move! When we
teach him he's always trying to balance and do wheelies in his wheelchair. He's
super chill and is way pumped to get baptized this weekend.
Also on Sunday it
was my birthday and also Eli's birthday and so President had us come by for
dinner and Eli got to meet president and it was SICK!!! President Shumway is an
amazing member missionary, it's no wonder he is a mission president!
Other than that the
real craziness is going to start next week with like 4 exchanges in a row and
new missionary training on Friday! It's going to be amazing!!!
