Hi mom and family,
Great to hear all the great news from back home. Love hearing that
the family is sooooo close and sooooo big!!!! I hope school finishes
up just great for all of you. Mom and Dad, how is Centerville life
treating you? Is everything still really normal?
Have the neighbors changed? What is going on in my home!!!???
So second week in my new sector...this ward is incredible. First
off, it is one of the first areas of Ecuador that the missionaries
arrived to, and so a bunch of the members already have a lifetime in the
church. The leaders really know what`s up--especially
the priesthood holders. Our bishop is like a clone of Bishop Wadley.
Really young and full of energy and all of the youth love him. It is
also the first ward where i have really seen members visit the
less-actives and fulfill with their responsibilities
as Home Teachers. And the best part of the ward is that their are five
preparing missionaries. This week we have someone assigned each day to
help us out in the work!! Everything starts with organization. It the
leader is organized he can organize his
"sheep" and if the "sheep" know their responsibilities everything is
soooooooo much easier! The ward mission leader is very organized and
very willing to help us out. I am so excited to really jump in and be a
part of this ward. I have a feeling and I pray
that I can be here for a good chunk of my mission. We shall see what
the Lord has in store for me.
Well I got my in-grown toenails taken care of--all 4 of them. The
doctor decided not to give me anything to numb it so he just dug in.
Haha it hurt but he did it really fast and really effectively. And the
next day I could walk completely normally.
FINALLY!!!! I hope I never ever jamàs nunca have to deal with feet
problems for the rest of my life.
As for the investigators and the baptism. Well second baptism in a
row, we had everything ready and last-minute something happened with
the investigator`s family and they got scared. We still haven`t been
able to meet with Eduardo to see what`s up, but
I feel like he shall be ready ONCE AGAIN to be baptized very soon. I
have gotten to know the majority of my sector and I am still very
excited to find more people to teach because there ARE so many people to
teach.
Mom-I still haven`t seen any monkeys. There are tons of iguanas
and such, but that is about it. I hope to find a monkey soon. They
still haven`t told us anything about the phone call, but i promise that I
will let you know. No te preocupes.
Well, Elder`s Quorum was awesome this Sunday. Yes...we talked
about moms. It is a pretty touchy subject for any missionary, but when
they ask you to share what you feel for your mom when you are on the
mission, that just isn`t fair. Mom, I love you.
You brought 6 children into this world and did everything necessary to
make sure they had a good future. I don`t think I could ever
really understand all that you did for me just like I willl never
understand all that Christ did for me. I love my mom.
And that just about wraps everything up.
I shall talk to you soon
Elder Anderson
