hey there family!

 

how's it hangin? 

 

i'll try to send some pictures next week. i'll probably be able to send a CD or something. my new area is a lot less mexican... haha i'm not sure. it's about the same size as my last, which is small. i think this is the smallest area of the mission! it's still city which, i really like. there's a lot of different people to talk to. on the hispanic side there are people from all over which i've mentioned before. what's interesting about this area is that it is covered by another companionship as well! kinda strange. they live a few blocks from us, and then two stories above them is where the english elders live. so it's a whole lot of fun to have them so close so we can do things together like lunches and dinners. and if we need to use the bathroom and their house is closer, we have a key there. it's pretty cool.

 

well family, things have been exciting this week. my companion and i have been working hard to find new people to teach. and sunday we found 3, monday 3 and tuesday 2 new investigators. i was so happy! it's such a great feeling to find new people that are interested in hearing the wonderful message that we bring. hopefully these people will continue to learn and grow in the gospel. my comp and i are trying to improve our teaching skills so that we are able to help these people understand the great importance of knowing that God has called a prophet.

 

we also went to the temple yesterday! how awesome is that? it was such a great peaceful experience. i would like to see how many different temples i can go to. that would be a fun trip. mom didn't you mention that the burnhams or someone would take a roadtrip and stop at all the temples on the way? that's neat. so how has it been for you guys working at the temple? do you think that it's gonna happen? 

well i'm really excited about the general conference coming up! it's going to be so great to hear the words of prophets and apostles again. and it's cool because i understand myself better as a missionary and how the people here in chicago are. so i am hoping that i will be able to learn many new things and apply them to myself here in the mission as well as to those who i am and will teach. 

 

welp i love you all! thanks for all you do! i hope all is, and will continue to be, well!

until next week....
