This week we had A LOT of rain! It flooded some apartments. I actually took a couple videos. And the Hermana's apartment flooded, so last Friday was service day, where we wore pants (finally! it was soo nice) and got to walk around and serve others in our community. Hermana Savage and Hermana Jones live in our apartment now, in our living room. There is no room, but they are cool and I don't mind it. We do have a tiny bathroom but we make it work. It is definitely different!

I think our investigators are progressing very well. I love teaching them and getting to know them. Our ward is great as well. There are a bajillion little kids, but it is great. We are fed almost every night. And the food is good, too!

Today is our preparation day, so there are lots of things we need to do. And this morning we got a phone call from someone in a neighboring stake going to help her friend move everything out of her basement, the friend is in our ward. She asked if we could help. Sister Najarro and I were kind of reluctant about going, we really wanted to get everything done today! But you know what, once we got there, I was so happy to be helping this lady. You could see that it really meant a lot that two complete strangers sacrificed time out of their day to help her. I prayed a lot before we got there, because I knew it was wrong of me to feel that way. I am glad those feelings went away and that we were able to leave with smiling faces. WE are planning on getting our District over there on Thursday to help some more. She has a lot of things that need to be taken out and thrown away, but we have big meetings tomorrow and Wednesday.

No word on my visa, but I have a feeling I will be leaving Chicago in about three weeks, at the end of this transfer. Transfers are 6 weeks long. I just have a feeling. I have been having weird dreams about me receiving my visa, so maybe it's a sign? Haha, but all is well. I love it here.

I go by Sister Clarke, so it seems like I don't even have my first name anymore! It is very strange. But when people DO find out my first name, they are very surprised by it and think it's,"Soo cool!"

I love all of you so very much! I hope all is well. I look forward to my P-days so I can find out how you're doing. Thank you so much for your great emails and support. I LOVE YOOOOU! (I will send your little individual emails too..I like personalized things XD)

Love,

Sister Indago Clarke
