I'm still here!
Wow, it was a pretty crazy week. I had my departing interview after zone conference, that was probably the highlight. I thought I was ready to go home before that, but now... where's the plane at?! Haha just kidding, but it was really cool. I am so grateful for these past 5 months to serve here in the Illinois Chicago Mission. What a blessing. It has definitely changed the way the rest of my life will go, I know that.
I am just so grateful for the goodness of God that I get to see here while serving Him. This past week we saw a lot of His blessings in the work. I am really going to miss being a full time missionary. But the beauty of it is, this is only the beginning. You don't need a tag to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.
We saw the blessings temporally also this week, we got probably $300 of food this past week, not including the delicious meals the members prepared for us. Stephen, my recent convert, moved to Florida and gave us all his frozen food. Then we had a member who gets extra cheese at a deli give us about $70 in CHEESE. I've never been so excited for cheese in my life haha.
We also made some tie die shirts as a district and signed them... that is all I'll say about that.
This last week is going to be amazing though, we have set some pretty high goals and are excited to hit them!
Thank you all for the love and support! Soon I can say that in person!
