Good afternoon!!!!

Hows it going???  Wow this week went by so fast...  Time is just going by super fast!  But I am loving every second that I am here :)

So this week was another good week of teaching and learning!  We have been so busy everyday and I always forget what we have done but i will try to remember!

This week we found such a good new investigator!  Her name is Sonia.  She was a reference of some girl in a different ward so we went and visited her.  She is a single mom with 4 kids and she is just looking for something to help her get a long.  She is very worried about her 14 year old son and he was in our lesson as well :)  We taught them about the restoration and they paid so much attention during the lessson.  The spirt was sooo strong!  She is so excited to learn more and to pray and do anything it takes to find more peace in her life.  We have another lesson with her tomorrow so i am super excited for that! :)

We also broke through a barrier with Angel this week!  He finally opened up and told us all his problems and doubts and everything!  It was honestly a miracle...  We also got the chance to meet his sister who is a member yesterday!  She is also working super hard with him.  Yesterday he said that he knows he will be baptized but he just wants to really feel like its the right choice beforehand.  We will definitly continue to help him with that :)

We are still teaching Karla but she is going downhill.....  I am super worried about her.  She just doesnt do what she needs to do.  She isnt reading the book of mormon or coming to church and wants us to come to her house every night but i am at the point where we honestly dont have time for that.  I am super stressed about it but i dont know what else we can do to help her.....  Pray I guess..

I am still loving training!  Hermana Lang is just so ready to meet all of our goals and meet new people and just do everything so it really helps me out a ton :)

Oh and the YSA group in our ward had a party for my birthday this week and cracked a bunch of eggs on my head so that was fun hahaha!  I think i have some pictures of the aftermath that ill send if i have time :)

And the best part of my week....  wow its too hard just to pick one!  But it was probably the multizone conference we had!  It was AMAZING!  We talked about the faith to see miracles and the mission is now making a bunch of miracle movies so go to Presidents blog to see them!  

The worst part...?  there is no bad part of the mission mama haha!  :)  i am just super happy with everything right now :)

Thanks for everything family!  I love you all TONS and i will talk to you all next week!  Be safe, have fun!  

Love

Hermana Lauren Jane Mitchell :)
