After today I will have been in Chicago for an entire week. Much of the past few days has been spent exploring and discovering the city and everything that goes along with it. At times the busses and trains can be a little confusing and overwhelming compared to what I am used to at home, but I have had plenty of practice lately and it isn't nearly as difficult as it was on the first day.
We have also had a lot more free time lately to spend with each other. People are always out exploring the area and doing interesting things. Sometimes in the evenings we go to a coffee shop or maybe a book store and then come back and play basketball under the lights. We have a TV in our flat, but it rarely gets used, occasionaly for a movie. It's nice that as a group we can spend a lot of time talking or playing games rather than being focussed on technology.
It's really amazing to be able to look back on my first week with a smile on my face. The people around me have been very welcoming and friendly. Many of my friends here have already taught me or inspired me in ways that they dont realize. Chicago has also been incredible to explore. The diversity and different types of people here has opened the door to experiences that I never could have had at home. I am very thankfull for the opportunity I have had to come here and am looking forward to seeing what next week has in store. Thanks for all of your prayers
