A few updates:

Lauren is doing great! I know it's waaaaaaaaaay different not having her in YW but she says her tiny ward in Michigan is really great. Apparently they have to give a talk and a musical number about every week, but their ward mom takes them to Home evening and stuff. Every time we talk she sounds really happy and psyched for everything. She's practicing a ton (obviously, haha) and she comes home in FOUR WEEKS! YES.
And that's all.
Love,
Sophie
