Chicago Week 13

 Well what a week! 

   So I met my new companion, his name is Elder Randall from Enterprise, Utah. It has been an awesome first week with him. Some crazy busy days. Here are some of the highlights 
   1 - We went to one of our friends house. Nobody was answering the door. As we were standing there, a car pulls up. It is our friends mom and an insanely drunk man. We say hi to his mom, and then the man, who we learn is Victor, comes to talk to us. First thing he does is ask us "hey, do you guys want to smoke some weed?" then pulls a little ziploc baggie out of his pocket. Well, we said no, for obvious reasons. Also because "not even once" and red ribbon week really sank in as a child. But we talked with him and set up a time to go to his house, so hopefully he is sober then! 
   2 - We had a really good lesson with our friend Stephen, who will be baptized on September 5! He is such a loving and accepting man, and willing to do whatever the Lord asks of him. 
   3 - Elder Randall and another brand new missionary Elder Tingey were left here in our area for a day to work the area this past Friday lol. That was an experience for the both of them! 
   4 - We started a cool poster with the question on top: "Why are you here?" We fill in things throughout the days to help us remember why we are out here. It has been cool to see the reasons and driving forces behind us being here serving. 

But anyways, those were just a few of the things that happened this week. Thank you all for your love and support! Hope everyone has a great week!
