Hi Everyone!
Thanks everyone for your e-mails this week! Its great to hear from you. This week has been pretty good! As I told you last week we went into the city. It all went a lot more smoothly because I had my map of the busses/L-train and I knew the metra times. It was fun! We went to navy pier and met some other Hermanas there. Two of the hermanas in our zone who we were meeting ended up getting lost a little bit which was funny. But they eventually found us. We walked around a bit and ate food. And yes I took some pictures don't worry! The ones of all of us as a group didn't turn out well though. We missed the train we wanted on the way back though (we saw it pull away as were were racing to catch it) so we took the next one and got back a few minutes late, but other than that it was good.
We had 5 investigators come to church this week! The two children of a part-member family and the familia Lara (with 3 of their 6 kids). It was really great I think their two daughters ages 13 and 14 really felt welcome in young womens and the mom (Maria) said she was really touched by the last song (I know the my reedemer lives) and felt the spirit. So we're really excited for her.
This week we've had all kinds of weather. I think I jinxed it when I told you all last week that it was "finally starting to get warm". It snowed on sunday night and then its been rainy and stormy for the past few days. oh well.
Someone in the Library sounds like he's sick and is making really nasty grunting/snorting noises and it's starting to gross me out. Just thought I would share that with you.
We had exchanges this week, which is fairly rare for sister missionaries. It was Hermana Rojas' first time ever on the mission. We switched with two other Hermana's in the zone; Hermana's Mackley and Veliz. I had to stay in my area which was a little bit of a bummer because I've been here forever but it was good. I was with Hermana Veliz who has only been here a month. Her Mom is from El Salvador and her Dad from Guatemala so she knows spanish. She grew up in California though. It was interesting (and stressful) being the senior companion for a day. It went really well we found a lot of contacts (which is sometimes hard in our area) and we had 4 lessons. So It was good. We switched back yesterday at zone meeting and President Doll asked Hna veliz if she thinks I'm ready to be senior. He's been giving little hints like that for the past two transfers now so I think I may be going senior companion at the end of this transfer. Hermana Rojas thinks I will train but I'm hoping not because the names of the 4 hermanas coming in all sound very very American and very much not Hispanic. I'll find out on Tuesday because transfers are weds. Hermana Rojas is still pretty sad about leaving. I think I'll probably stay in the same area...
