10/9/2017 Born In Gurnee

Hola friends,

I finally made it to Chicago this past week. Oh my gosh I LOVE it here. 

Our first day they put us on a train headed downtown towards the bean. While on the train we got to contact people, I met this awesome guy from Poland. He knew like 5 languages! It was insane. It was a cool experience to meet all these people from different countries around the world. After we went back to the mission home and they gave us Chicago deep dish pizza!! It was amazing to have real american food again, I never thought I would miss pizza so much. 

My trainers (aka my Mamá) name is Hermana Lee, and she is from... WASHINGTON!! She was converted like two years ago, and has about four months left on the mission. She is way awesome, we get along great. My first area is Gurnee 3A, and I love it the members are awesome. They feed us soooo much... There is this family with two little girls, and they love us. They always laugh at my spanish, and think I sound so funny. But the language is coming along. Slowly but surley. 

We have a senior couple that lives right across the hall from us, the Litkes, they are hilarious! We do language study with them everyday, they will feed us dinner, and on pday they take us to Costco!! They are my favorite. Elder Litke taught us how to make this Mexican drink the other day called jamaica for one of our activities...  oh man after we were done it looked like someone had died in our kitchen, jamaica juice was everywhere and it stained our counters red, it was so funny. But the activity we had was a sucess so it was all worth it.

Its been a great week and I love this opportunity I have to serve the Lord, and I cant wait  to learn lots while here in Gurnee and start this new adventure. I hope you all have a great week!
