Well it was another good week here in Peru! Me and my new companion are getting along great! She is hilarious hahaha. The only problem is, is that her last companion wasnt too big of a fan of obedience so she has some bad habits formed but I am trying super hard just to be a good example. Some things I have no control over but i can control what i do right? Oh and she does not like to run.... We do work really well together though. She is 25 years old and the mission has been kinda hard for her but we are doing some good things in our area :)
This week we didnt teach very many investigators but we taught TONS of less active members! I really enjoy working with less active members :) But we are teaching this member who hasnt gone to church in a while. His name is Arturo and about a month ago he liked to go out driking with his friends every night and really did not like the missionaries coming to his house and was even physically abusing his wife when he came home drunk. But we have been working really hard with him and now he has stopped drinking completely and he and his family are so much happier! He also told us that he now wants to go to the temple with his family to get sealed!!! He also invites us over for dinner at his house sometimes and cooks for us hahah which is a HUGE deal because a month ago he wouldnt even agree to talk to us! I really love this family so much :) They have 2 little boys that remind me so much of Hayden and Miles hahaha :) They are the cutest! His story really is a miracle... I cant believe how far hes come :)
We have been trying really hard to find new investigators but in this area its sooo hard! No one is ever home and when they are they really do not want to talk to us but we are trying to talk to everyone we come in contact with and we have some good references to work with this next week so i am pretty excited about that :) Good things are around the corner :)
Gosh I can not believe how fast 7 months went by!!! Its going by too fast!!! In a year from now I will be home and settled and probably working or something at this point! Gosh its so weird to think about haha, but I am really loving my time here. It is SUPER hard sometimes but it is so worth it :)
ADDY WHATEVER YOU DO DO NOT TELL ME ANYTHING ABOUT THE NEW BOOK!!!!! What did i start hahahaha! Its Randy Shaws fault actually hahaha :) But you have to save it for me and ill read it as soon as i get home :)
I am so glad that everything is going well at home and that everyone is doing good :) Keep me updated with Kaely and Katlyn and everything else thats going on please :)
Well, i love you all sooooo much and i love you all even more :) Have such a good week and i will talk to you next week!
Love,
Hermana Lauren Jane Mitchell :)
