MOTHER!!!

Okay this week was CRAZY!  It also sounded like you all had a good week so that makes me super happy :)

Okay so i dont even know where to start haha.  Okay well first off I GOT TRANSFERED!!!  I am now again in Piura!! :)  It was soo sad to leave my area and Hermana Lang but I am soooo happy to be here!  And my new companion is Hermana Sandison!  She is honestly the GREATEST!  I love her so much already!  She is from Twin Falls Idaho :)  She is a convert and the only member in her family!  She was also Miss Twinn Falls haha :) I can tell its going to be a great transfer.  She is just always so happy and we get along so well and i am just super happy to be here.  My area is called Los Ficus.  I just got here a little bit ago but I can already tell i will love it here :)  

So my last week in Sullana...  It was super sad!  I love that area and the people there and everything....  We taught Camila, the 14 year old investigator and we put a baptimsal date and she accepted!  Her parents arent members but her mom was sooo excited for her!  i am going to ask permisison to go back to her baptism.  

Also this week we had a christmas party in the mission house!  It was SOO FUN!  We played games and ate good food and watched Its a Wonderful Life and stayed there until 9pm haha!  It was just so good to get to spend time there with President and Hermana Rasmussen and just to get to be with the zone and everything :)  Oh i also got the first of my packages momma! :)  And for some reason i felt like i should open it so i did and i saw the oil in there so i got to give it to president! :)  He was SOOO happy! haha it was super funny to watch :)  He said ¨hermana mitchell.... can i give you a hug?¨ and of course i said yes haha :)  Then he was talking about how cool he felt and that he was going to go raise the dead hahaha :)  I love that guy :)  Him and Hermana Rasmussen are literally like our parents out here.  I can not wait for you to meet them! :)

I CAN NOT BELIEVE ABOUT LINCOLNS MISSION CALL!!  I have literally been thinking about it allll week!  I am soooo happy for him!  He is going to be the best missionary ever! :)

And about Christmas... I didnt realize how close it was!!  I will be able to talk at whatever time so just tell me what time is best for you and i can make it work.... I am guessing earlier is better right?  LIke the morning?  I can do that :)

Also i loooked at the itinerary and it is perfect!  The hotel is honestly in the perfect location haha so we are good :)  It is also a really nice one....  So thats good.  Maybe i will get to have my first hot shower in 18 months!!! :)  I have been looking forward to that :)

Everything here is just so good :)  I am happy, i am healthy, i love everything and time is going by way too fast...  We also have a couple baptisms coming up in this area as well so i am super excited about that!  Gosh... i dont want to come home...  This place has changed my life and i am not sure how i am going to be able to leave....  I get super stressed and often cry when i think about it...  But i am excited as well :)  I just have 3 transfers left! CRAZY!

Well that it is for my week.  It was super crazy haha so next week hopfully my thoughts will be more organized!  Thank you for everything you all doo! :)  I hope you have such a good week! Love you all soooo much! :)

Love,

Hermana Lauren Jane Mitchell :)
