We had our transfer calls last night and I have been dreading this day, but I knew it would come. I will be leaving Hyde Park and heading to the Schaumburg 2nd ward! Heading back over to the west side of the mission, back to the suburbs! I'm super stoked bc I went and visited the Aderemi's this morning and Wale told me he wants me to send him my address and they will come visit me. He also said he has a ton of Nigerian friends in Schaumburg that I can teach! I'm hyped.
It was a fantastic last week in Hyde Park. We had some manna fall from heaven on Tuesday, we got a referral for a guy named Wenli Quan. He is from Mongolia North China and he is the most amazing man! He was in Utah with a host family for 13 days and they introduced him to the church and now he is here for school and he is super interested in the church. We met with him 3 times this week and he is so solid! He loves the gospel. He said, "I've learned so much since coming to the United States but my favorite thing is learning about the God." He is applying for a PhD at the university of Utah and I told him I live in Utah and he got so excited and told me after my mission I need to go to school with him. I love Wenli! He is getting baptized on January 26th. Super sad to miss it but I'm so happy for him!
I can't express how grateful I am for the time I was privileged to spend here in Hyde park! I truly have come to love these people here like family! It's going to be hard to leave them for sure. I know the Lord puts us in certain places at certain times for specific reasons. I love this gospel and the opportunity to share it with all of his children! I hope y'all have a great week!
