so this week more than flew. lots of meetings and crazy stuff with the changes. due to the increased amount of incoming missionaries we have tried new things with the changes to be able to handle the groups that are so big so this week we didnt have a transfer meeting. just a time schedule that each companionship would come in and leave there old companion and pick up their new one. it was layed out over and hour and a half. it all came out very smooth. now we are here in the office as 8 again with 2 who are going to form part of the office in the new chiclayo mission. good old elder mcgrath from carlsbad, ca who is just another one of my best friends. he is part hawaiian and lived their half his life and has a house there so i just might get to know hawaii some day and have somewhere to stay ha. so im training him and then when he goes the end of this month, my last two weeks i will also train the new assistant who will take my place. im gonna be busier than ever traveling and working with the missionaries that are in the northernest zones who are going to the new mission. its gonna be hard for them to part so we need to do all we can to help them keep their heads up and remember their purpose through enjoying just plain old hard work. (MY FAVORITE PART OF THIS TIME!) the new group of missionaries that got here this week were amazing and i love to see the new guys get out here and join us in this Great and Marvelous work of the Lord. they bring a special spirit and excitement with them and motivate the rest of the missionaries. so last night we taught a family of 5 Julio(dad), Janet(mom), Maricielo(daughter-18), Julinho(son-15), and two month old baby girl. they were great and accepted to be baptized, the missionaries in another area of trujillo had been teaching them and took them to church once and then they moved and we were able to meet them. pray for them and hermanito Carlos as well. its been tought to find him, and we know he is prepared and desires this True Gospel in his life.
I am so glad i am here in this wonderful land of Peru to share the greatest news that has blessed my life and the life of my family. i am also happy to know that this mission and decision to follow and bring others to our Savior Jesus Christ will never end, because that means that the happiness and blessings won´t end either. i love you all with all my heart.
miss you, will come back and write later.
Love,
Elder Nichols
