Dear Everyone,
It got super cold outside. It was 0 degrees one day with a wind chill
of -11 degrees. It hurts my face just walking around but I manage. I
would have sent email yesterday but I was super busy.
In Chicago one house is similar to a two story apartment. Like a
lot of missionaries in Chicago just live over a family in a house. So
this one house which was pretty much a 3 story apartment, the top
floor caught on fire because a radiator blow up. So the fire fighters
decided to start at the bottom floor of the house and pretty much
flooded the entire house. The person who lived at the bottom floor was
a member so me and a couple of missionaries and members helped move
all the furniture from the destroyed basement to a storage unit and
someone's house. It took almost all day. So the mission president gave
all the missionaries who helped out another day to email and shop
which was greatly appreciated.
That is pretty much the excitement of this week. The mission work
has hit a slow spot for now but Elder Hanna and I are going to be
working hard to fix that. I hope you are having warmer weather where
you are.
