Oswego
Back to the land of my nativity, Joliet stake. It's been about 16 months since I left here. It's all still standing. Oswego is a nice place 
🏼 We live in Montgomery, Illinois in Boulder Hill. I haven't been able to figure out if it's a different city or if Boulder Hill is just a subdivision or what. It takes up at least 1/4 of Montgomery. Kinda like a city within a city, I guess. #Vatican

Every one prepare yourselves...
We had investigators at church. 3 of them! We started teaching the St John family. He's a member, but his wife and kids aren't. She agreed to take the missionary lessons. That is super exciting! We got a referral from a less active member, Connie Vazquez. It's her son's girlfriend, Elsa Vazquez. Same last name, but no relation (so they say 🙄) anyways, Elsa is super cool. She's been going to some different churches and says she picks out what she likes from each one. She says that she is looking for one that has it all together. We got one for her! We've taught her the first lesson and going back tomorrow.
The Ward here is amazing! They have welcomed us in and have had a lot of members invite us over for dinner. It sounds like there's a lot of missionary work going on here. We've had some good meetings with the Ward mission leader and the assistant Ward mission leader (Brother Doherty bought the most heavenly doughnuts I've ever had; better than Krispy Kreme [Barrett, Auti, Jaylen, and Ashlynd know I love Krispy Kreme; remember that one day we had Golden Corral and got 6 dozen doughnuts? #bestdayever]). They seem to be really engaged. The Ward has a strong Ward council as we saw yesterday in the meeting. I'm glad to be here.
It's almost like we're whitewashing. Elder Harris was only here for 2 weeks before there was an accident with his companion. Elder fry broke both of his wrist from falling 10 feet off a stack of hay bails. (No comment, Jacob 6:12) Elder Harris has been in a trio in a different Ward. So there weren't missionaries here for about a month. All the members we have met so far have been excited to have us back.
Well things are better now that I'm in a different area. I probably could and should have been better at finding happiness and trying to be happy where I was at.

In desperation, we tried to ask Siri how we could find people. Didn't work...
Sister Lynch. We took her the sacrament every week in canton. Amazing lady!
The Kent's. Love them! They told me I can come back and stay with them!
The Brancecum's - they started coming back to church and have now gone back to the temple after 20 years!
Robert and Verna the ones we were teaching. Really gonna miss them, I hope they get baptized soon.
