Anyways, Happy Birthday Elaina and Tyty. I did remember them both
because I have my little calendar that Paige sent me to remind me when
the birthdays are. I have been starting to miss the american food a
lot. I am more than positive that you guys ate
something really good and it makes me really jealous haha.
I have had a good week. I am very grateful for the truly converted
members that help us out. We had an activity with all of the
missionaries in the zone and we paired up with members to go meet new
investigators and pick up some referrals.
There is a preparing missionary that just got his call to Provo. I
am helping him out with his call that came in English. He gets there
in May so I might send him with a couple things.
Well this week I was able to learn about showing love to those who
are closest to us. This came out of a conference talk but is a quote
from C.S. Lewis:
Do
what you will, there is going to be some benevolence, as well as some
malice, in your
patient’s soul. The great thing is to direct the malice to his
immediate neighbours whom he meets every day and to thrust his
benevolence out to the remote circumference, to people he does not know.
The malice thus becomes wholly real and the benevolence largely
imaginary.”4
People in their imaginary world can think they are really
righteous, but then when they walk in their home (the real and most
important world) they forget that imaginary person they had pretended to
be. So I hope we may all really LIVE in the real world
and be loving towards our own.
With much love, Elder Anderson
