So today, I am going to tell about my week through pictures.
The first one is the highest temperature that I have ever seen since coming to Chicago, 52F. Mind you I arrived almost 4 months ago. I wish I had taken a picture of someone on a motorcycle, because those were pulled out this week too. The air is ringing with the beautiful music of 4 stroke engines and people driving convertibles with the tops down. :)

languages, and then we smash their face into the cake. Good times for everyone. So Happy Birthday to my companion! (He turned

The next two are also connected. This is what happens when your dishwasher decided that emptying the used water is not necessary, but would actually better serve a purpose ALL OVER THE KITCHEN FLOOR!! But hey, at least we have a dishwasher....... Kind of......

The next one just makes me laugh. A member of our ward was traveling and made
it back into town for sacrament yesterday. They come up to me all excited and
told me that while they were visiting family in
Cincinnati, Ohio, they met the missionaries there. Lo and behold, one of these Sisters knows me! From there the story just got bigger and bigger.
'She knows you!' Says he.
'You went to high school together!' Adds his wife.
'She says you are friends!'
'She says you've gone on several dates!'
'Well, what's her name?'
'Oh I don't know. I forgot. But, I did take a picture of her so I could show you later. But I forgot it at home. I'll send it to you later.'
So hours later I get a message from him with our last picture in it. Sister C. B.! The mystery is solved! And sure enough, they are right on all counts. She is from Magna, we did go to school together,
we are friends, and we have been on several dates together. Small world, no?

So I got a haircut today, and I think it looks pretty good.
This guy in the area cuts missionaries hair for free if they clean up the shop,
so we frequent his place. I told him that I wanted it trimmed back to
what he did last time, but I wanted the hair off my ears, so he does this, gives me a straight razor shave an inch off the ears. And honestly, I'm loving it! Might not be a forever thing, but for now, I'm really liking this.

And my personal favorite of the day, the sword he has hanging in his shop. Look at that thing. It's beautiful!

Well I'm sorry that things haven't really been
spiritual in this email, but I'm short on time today, and doing this is faster.
But I love you all and pray for you! Have a great week!
