In the Big City

So this week has been THE BEST! As you know I am in Chicago! We cover The Loop, Sears Tower, the "bean", the magnificent mile, and everything else touristy haha. I know that everyone is jealoussss! But it's great, because there are people EVERYWHERE!!!! So this means we have so many more opportunities to talk and teach people. 

My new companion is Sister, Nielson she is from Highland/Alpine.  And yes she went to Lone Peak, but I have never met/seen her in my life haha. So it's all good! She is really cool and we will get along great. She has been in the area for six months now, so it's about time she will be leaving. She is teaching me all the train and bus routes in six weeks so I can take over! AH! It's all good.  She said I am getting it down pretty good, so we will see ... Haha it's nerve racking, but I am already loving everyone so it should work out. 

 In this area the ward changes a lot, but it's still great.  We meet in a school house at the moment, but the church has bought some land to build a church... Some time in the future... No one knows... Haha 

We do lots of work with less actives, and we have two investigators. One is on date for the begging of May, but he is almost engaged... So he is going out to Arizona to get baptized! Not here :/ I got to meet him this week. Then at Church I got to meet the other, he is really awesome and quite knowledgeable. He says before he is baptized he is going to read all of the standard works! So... You see, he likes to have his facts. But I got to meet him and he said some quite wonderful and intelligent comments is gospel essentials. There is a less active, who served a mission and is actually starting to come back to church! It's so cool, he came to a dinner appointment with us yesterday. We are trying to get him more acquainted with the ward. And there are a couple recent converts in the ward. I love hearing all their stories of finding the church. They are all incredible and I am looking forward to working with them! 

As you have probably noticed, the church came out with a new video about Christ.  easter.mormon.org   This was for Easter and to help remember that "because of him" ___ where are you today? I loved it, we were in encouraged to share it with as many people as possible. So we did! And it was great, it was strong and powerful. Especially for me because I watched it so much. But has you watch this video, what do you think of for yourself. How has Christ coming here to atone for us, and him living on the earth, dying and coming back to life-- in all his perfection affected you? 

I know that because Christ lives, we can continue to live and the guilt that comes because of our sins can cease to exists helping us continue to grow in our faith in Christ. 

Have a good week!

Love, Sister Tincher
