My Chicago Adventure

I had the best time running around Chicago. I didn't eat a hot dog or pizza pie, but I did go to the top of the Sear's Tower and hit a couple of museums. I had a really good time. I really love the architecture here. It really amazes me. Miss you all. Love, Mel

I finally have a blog I can update!

Hi everyone. Training is going pretty well. I have met some really cool people. All of them have amazing gifts and callings and are so excited to get started on their mission trips. We had four short term missionaries, but unfortunately they were only here for one week. Bye Ashley, Michelle, Jaclyn and Rebecca! You guys are awesome.

There are only long-term people here now and we will lose 5 of those before training is over. We had a long talk about racism in class today and went to visit a Hindu Temple. There were a lot of good and sad things about their religion. But it was good for us to see how dedicated they are to their god and how willing they are to give money to build the temple. We are blessed to build the Kingdom of God right here and now.

Thank you for all your prayers. I have almost had enough support come in to pay for my training. Please continue to pray for me. Mel
