Hey Everyone!
Its been a little bit since I wrote my last email! I was sent to a new area in Chicago! It's in the North side on the lake again which is awesome! The work has been great here so far a couple weeks ago, our friend Sara was baptized! The day of the baptism was super stressful because there was also a community event that the ward had been planning for a few weeks going on shortly after. Because of that it was harder to invite people to come and participate, but it ended up turning out very well!
Right now we are teaching some great people! One of them is named Rita. She's doing a master's program and Became interested in learning about the church after talking with her friend Kristian, who is a member of the church. Later we found out that both my companion and I know Kristian because he used to live on the south side, where both of us had previously served!
We are also teaching our friend named Willi who first encountered the church in the Philippines. He had seen the temple in manila and he also knew about the church's important role in and keeping genealogical records for Filipinos. So he's interested in finding more information his ancestors as well as learning about the church!
There are also tons of Russian speakers here. There are people from different countries in Eastern Europe as well as a decent amount from Kyrgyzstan that I've encountered while here!
Being a missionary here is so exciting! I'm super glad I have the opportunity to wear Jesus Christ's name on my tag every day.
