Buenos Dias!
How are you all?? Things are still pretty good here in Peru :) Its REALLY hot, like always haha but i love it :)
It was another good week! There are sooo many goood things happening here! :)
We have been really focusing on working with the members this week and it has turned our really well! The stake we are in has the goal of 50 lessons with member every week for every missionary.... so sometimes it gets pretty crazy trying to find members everyday! But its been working out okay so far :)
This week we found such a golden investigator! His name is Gean Karlo. He is only 14 years old but honestly acts like he is 20. About 2 years ago he was taught by the missionaries and still remembers a lot. He actually lives right in front of our room haha. So the first time we talked with him he was sooo excited. He is such a spiritual young kid. He accepted a baptismal date the first lesson! :) His mom is also super supportive. She actually went with us to a baptism of our district and loved it! She also would like to be baptized but shes not married...... But we are going to try and help her out with that :) The second time we had gone to visit Gean, he had read the book of mormon and understood all that he had read! We also found out that one of his best friends is a member and so we had him go with us to the lesson too and it helped us out a lot! We have really high hopes for him :)
This week we also did intercambios! I was with Hermana Spainhower! She went to college at dixie so it was so fun to talk about St. George and the people we knew haha! It was a really fun day. A thing i love about the mission is that i really feel like i am making life long friends. There are soooo many great sisters here and it will be soo fun to get together with them someday!
I found out some bad news as well this week. My favorite convert from my second area, Hermano Victor, passed away. It was such a surprise too. I talked to my old bishop from that ward and thats how i found out. I was pretty shocked. But it was interesting because just a few days before i was talking to someone about the Plan of Salvation and death actually. But we were talking about how really its not a sad thing, it feels like it, but really it is just the end of this earth life. We will all have to experience it at somepoint. And we talked about lots of other things too but i think that conversation really helped me prepare for that. Hes great and i know hes in a better place now.
I forgot to write notes down for what i was going to write about so thats why i am all scattered today haha. Sorry!
We also had an awesome activity to help us get references this week! So what we did, is we had a bunch of oreos and we invited all of the members that came to take a pack and go hide it somewhere around the church. After, we told them that we were going to find them. So we went around and looked and found only 2. Then we asked them to come with us and kind of guide us to where they hid their oreos. Then, with their help, we were able to find all of them! We then explained to them that that is how it is with their friends! They know their friends but we dont. Us looking alone, maybe we will be able to find 1 or 2 of them, but with their help we will be able to find lots! As a result, we got lots of references and lots of them offered to acompany us! So i think it was a success :)
Transfers are this week also and i am SUPER nervous! I am pretty sure Hermana Sandison will be leaving me..... And i am super nervous for who my last companion will be! I have been praying super hard this week. I just want someone who will work hard and motivate me and just be my friend... But we will see what the Lord has planned!
I was also able to finish the Book of Mormon again this week. IT IS SOOO TRUE! I have a goal to finish it one more time before i get home :) We will see what happenes! :)
Well, that is it for my week... Sorry i was super boring this week, i will do better next week!
Love you all tons!
Love,
Hermana Lauren Jane Mitchell :)
