First transfer down!

Hello hello!
First off-- THANK YOU SO MUCH for the package! It was so great! It came at the perfect time because I really needed it that night when we got home! It was such a good surprise!
This week was the last week of the transfer! Crazy that I have been out for 6 weeks already right? Almost 2 months down!
This week was really slow.... We have hardly anyone to teach, so most of our days consist of tracting or riding around trying to find people who will actually listen to us. We found one family sitting outside their house, there were like 10 kids and they were all really quiet and just sitting there so it was really weird. We did our spill, asked if they wanted a blessing, and they said yes! So we got off our bikes and walked up to them. Sister Pack was asking them what they needed/ wanted in the blessing and the whole time I had a good feeling, like this family really  needs us right now. She got to one boy named Wesley, and he said he wanted his dad to get to Heaven. He was only 10 years old so it caught us off guard. When Sister Pack was saying the blessing, I opened my eyes and saw one girl crying so I was just thinking she was feeling the Spirit.. Then later I noticed everyone was crying. By the end of the blessing, there wasn't anyone who wasn't crying, including me, Sister Pack, and Sister Nelson. One of the teenagers told us, in tears, that they had lost someone really close to them that day. He said they don't know why or what happened and it was very unexpected. We found out it was their father who had just passed away. We were a mess. There were about 9 or 10 little kids under 12 years old that were hysterically crying. All three of us couldn't keep ourselves together, and after doing the best we could with trying to comfort them, we left. As we were walking away, one of the boys was yelling "papi" at the top of his lungs. He was literally screaming for his dad and screaming "why didn't someone save him" and "it's all my fault". It was such an awful experience. We walked around the corner, bawling our eyes out, and said a prayer for that sweet family. My heart was broken for those children. We offered to come teach them but they had their minds elsewhere for obvious reasons. My heart breaks for people like that that don't have the knowledge that we do about the Plan of Salvation. I want so badly for them to realize that everything will be okay. We are hopefully going to go back over this week and see how things are going for them.
We also helped this family move this week.. They are MAJOR hoarders and it was pretty nasty. They have a down syndrome baby that doesn't get properly taken care of so their house smells like straight poop. I literally had to walk out of the house so I could breathe. It took us forever just to clean out her garage, and when she would walk away we would just start throwing things in the garbage because she had so much stuff. It was pretty awful.
Yikes.. Okay on a happier note.... Transfers were this week! President Smart called on Saturday night to let us know what was going on! So Sister Pack is leaving :( She is going to Hemet, which is like the GHETTO. She is freaking out. They have never had sisters there so she is opening this area to sisters, and training, and she is serving in a YSA ward as the first sister EVER to do that in this mission! Pretty crazy! I am not surprised, she can handle that better than anyone else! I'm way sad she is leaving though :( Sister Nelson and I are staying and training a new missionary straight from the MTC! That's exciting but very nerve wracking. Sister Nelson and I are very alike and get distracted very easily, Sister Pack was always the one to keep us on track so this will be interesting. I'm excited though :)
Okay so currently, our ward has 5 missionaries. Us 3 sisters and 2 Chinese speaking elders (I haven't told you, half our ward is Chinese and once a month we have to have a Chinese translator. It's so crazy!). HOWEVER. Starting this transfer, we will have 8 missionaries in our ward! There will still be 3 sisters but there will be 5 Chinese Elders! Isn't that crazy? Especially because the other Eastvale ward is a lot bigger than ours and it only has 2 missionaries. That proves something big is about to happen in our ward! I'm so excited!
Dakota got confirmed yesterday and he got the Priesthood so that was super exciting! His dad is still working on getting his Priesthood back so a ward member baptized and confirmed Dakota. Shay went to girls camp this last week and now wants to get baptized too! So hopefully that will all work out! The mom is still not happy and we can only come over once a week when she is not there, then she waits outside until we leave so it is super awkward. The Lord is definitely testing my patience :)
I'm so excited for this new transfer and this new change! Thanks for all your prayers and letters and the package! Ah it was perfect :) (Except the pictures were so small! Next time make them a little bigger please :))
I love my life, I love this gospel and I love being a missionary! I'm so glad I made the decision to come here, it has been one of the best decisions of my life! I know that this is where I am supposed to be and that there are still people waiting for me to teach them this incredible gospel. Why people don't listen to us still blows my mind. I'm so happy with the knowledge that I have. This church is totes awes.
Peace and blessins my little homies. Miss you all so stinkin much!
Love you long time
Sister Anderson :)

Even MORE miracles!


Hey hey everybody!
This week was INSANE!
Okay so from the beginning.. My companions and I are finding out we are really bad at waking up in the morning. We all just turn the alarm off and go to bed without realizing it so we have been kinda disobedient this week which is NOT GOOD. At the beginning of the week we had a really hard time going out because no one listens to us and it almost seems like a waste of time because people just laugh at us and don't listen, so it has been really hard to be motivated. But on that note, we were tracting one day and we came across a house that we had tracted before. The guy who lived there was Patrick and we had talked to him and had given him a Book of Mormon like 3 weeks ago? Anyway we had tried contacting him again but he never answered so this time he was home but he came out sort of in a panic and told us today was not a good day because he was getting kicked out of his house and if he needed any prayer, today would be the day. So we literally walked down around the corner and prayed that he would find somewhere to live and that whoever he needed to help him would be put in his path.
THE NEXT DAY we were doing our weekly planning, which takes like 3 hours and we get really restless, so we went to get lunch. We were arguing over where to go and finally decided on a sandwich shop we always go to. We walk in and literally 30 seconds later guess who walks in? Yup, Patrick! So we were able to talk to him and get his number and stuff but after that we were so confused. We had prayed for the right people to be in his path and obviously that was us but we still don't know where to go from there! But it was really cool just that we got to talk to him and get some more information from him so we could better help him. We are currently trying to help him find somewhere to live? and trying to figure out how to teach him through all of this. It's quite interesting!
Okay, I don't remember if I told you anything about Dakota Edwards and his family so I'll just tell you everything! We found his family on the day that Mandy dropped us (we still can't get ahold of her) because when she didn't answer we decided to go to their house because the dad, Sean, is less active. Anyway we went over and the 19 yr old son, Dakota, was the only one home. The rest of his family had gone to the beach and he decided not to go that one day, which is a miracle in itself. Anyway, we had committed him to baptism during that lesson for the last week of July which was really exciting! Since then we had taught him and his family maybe 5 lessons? He has a 12 yr old sister and a 14 yr old brother, and his dad served a mission then fell away from the church and actually got some of his rights taken away... But their family is AWESOME. They always say the perfect answers and their dad has taught them so much. So Thursdaywe confirmed everything for Dakota's baptism on the 27th and we were all really excited! We left that appointment and went to another less active family and during that appointment Dakota texted us and said he had a question, so we got really nervous thinking he was backing out. BUT his question was if he could get baptized on Sunday!!! We FREAKED out! We were in a parking lot jumping up and down and screaming and crying and all that. We were so happy! He said he had family in town that he wanted to be at his baptism so he wanted to do it sooner. The District Leader interviewed him and said he is the most prepared that he has ever seen. Since it was so close, we planned a baptism in 3 days :) His mom is really against it and thinks her family is being taken away from her so that is a major drawback but we are working with the rest of the family and hoping that their light will shine through to the mom. The 12 yr old, Shay, is super cute and is actually going to girls camp this week and we are planning on getting her baptized the next week.


So anyway, his baptism was yesterday and is was so great! I bawled like a baby but it really was so special. He is so strong and has such a strong testimony for the short time that we have taught him. He is definitely one of the elect and one that the Lord has prepared even before I got here. I'm just grateful that I was able to be a tool in the Lord's hands and to be apart of this amazing miracle!
It was interesting because like I said earlier we haven't been as obedient as we should have been this week, I feel like we did a lot of things wrong.. So we were really confused as to why we saw so many miracles this week. We realized it was because we took some advice that we got from our mission president so pray for and accept miracles. In almost every prayer (which is honestly like 35 every day) we pray for miracles to happen. We pray to recognize those when then do happen and we always say that we are expecting them to happen. I know that that is why Dakota got baptized this week and not next and why we ran into Patrick again. I know that Heavenly Father really does hear our prayers and is just waiting for us to ask for things like that so he can help us and to strengthen our faith. I am so glad that we have our great Mission President to guide us and give us that inspired revelation.
That was for sure the highlight of the week, the rest was really nothing. There were a few days where we hardly talked to anyone cause no one would listen, but there were a few other days where we got into some more bashes with people. Those are kinda fun but we always stop before it gets too out of hand haha.
We pulled some GREAT pranks on Sister Pack this week. We took her planner again and put it in the car, along with the lanyard (but took the car key off) so it looked like the keys were locked in the car with her planner. She freaked out and was almost crying haha it was so funny. She ran back into the house because she was going to get a wire hanger to unlock the car and when she came back out we were sitting in the car. She was walking down the driveway yelling at us and throwing a fit haha. Sister Nelson and I were crying we were laughing so hard! Gosh I don't want to leave them! Transfers are on Monday, we find out Friday who leaves and I really am dreading it! It's weird that this is how it will be for the rest of my mission though. We finally get used to each other and then we leave. Oh well, is all what the Lord wants, not me.
I had another flat tire as well as Sister Pack so we took the car a lot this week which was great :) It was seriously an answer to our prayers, except Sister Pack. She's a weirdo and likes riding her bike haha. But that was definitely a blessing this week.
Promise me if you come to California, any of you, DON'T TRY TO SEE ME. I'm still at the point where I still get home sick thinking about you all so I'm emotionally not stable enough to see you and have to say goodbye again! You're more than welcome to leave a package or something but I am here for the Lord and I can't afford any other distractions. I would love to see you and I miss you a lot, but that's why I can't see you. I hope you understand that! But I also hope you have so much fun at Kimi's! If you do decide to leave me something, I need more of that black chapstick I love! That would be great :) Also my blow dryer broke but I'm getting a new one today.
Anyway, I love you all and I love what I'm doing here. Even though it's hard and really hot, I love it and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Thank you for your letters (trek sounded AWESOME) and all your love! I pray for you always!
MUCH love,
Sister Anderson :)

July 15

Well this week seemed to be a long one with many experiences that an hour and a half of computer time didn't amount to so I decided to write a letter. I always begin writing the email with so many things to say and always leave with even more things I forgot to tell you!

This week we didn't get much sleep. we woke up at 5:00 AM for 3 days in a row! One of those days was my first multi-zone conference! President and Sister Smart talked to us, as well as the AP's. We got lunch served to us then after we sang Armies of Helaman to the ladies who served it, just like you mom! I couldn't stop thinking about you when we were doing that. On Saturday we had a breakfast with all the missionaries in the stake so we woke up early for that too! we had our scripture study class that day, and only Dakota and his dad (Sean) came. We had a really cool discussion about Joseph Smith's testimony and the witness testimonies. I have gained a very strong testimony of Joseph Smith. I'm trying to read the whole Doctrine and Covenants right now and I LOVE it. My favorite time of the day is by far personal study time. I love geting an hour to myself to just read. The scriptures are seriously so awesome. I don't know why people don't understand them or believe them. I'm so glad I have that knowledge that they are true :)

Oh! I broke down and bought a watch last week! It's actually really cute. I'll send a pic next week :) So I told you I got my first flat tire...well so did Sister Pack AND Sister Nelson! Convenient that it all happened at once :) However, my back tire went flat too! The ward members paid for my front one but I'll probs have to pay for the back one. I can't wait to hear all about trek. I wish I could have gone with you guys! I guess in a way I'm on trek too :) Oh, our ward mission leader wanted both your numbers. He said he was going to call you and let you know how I was doing I guess?

This week we hid Sister Pack's planner again because her reactions are hilarious! It's so funny. Oh yeah, transfers are on the 29th so by the 27th we'll know who is being transferred. Most likely I am staying but there's a chance I'm not! so just in case, if you happen to send anything close to those days just send it to the mission home. The music we have to listen to is ridiculous but I love it. There's a song all about peanut and jelly sandwiches haha. We're convinced they're all returned missionaries with no lives. Look them up! They're called "Inside Out."

I love being a missionary. I say that a lot but I do love it. I love the feeling of always having the spirit with me and sharing that with people. I know this is the true gospel on earth and that doing what the Book of Mormon says is how we will get back to our Heavenly Father. I know He us watching over us and loves us so much. I get a spiritual confirmation every day that this is where I'm supposed to be and what I'm supposed to be doing. I'm so grateful for the opportunity I have to be serving and preaching the gospel.

Thank you for all your love, support, and prayers. I can honestly feel your love and I am so blessed to have such a great family! I LOVE YOU GUYS! Always remember that :) Have a good week!

Love - the golden child

Week of Miracles - July 15

Hello my sweet lovely family!
These weeks just keep getting better and better! I'll start with the bad news though because thankfully there is more good than bad this week. Remember Mandy? Yeah well she dropped us :( I am SO sad :( We went over for our next appointment and she didn't answer (I might have told you this last week, sorry if I did) but after that we have called, texted, left notes on her door, and we have got nothing back. It's really sad because I could see such potential in her. I am still hopeful though :)
Okay. So this whole week our Zone Leaders would text us every day basically and tell us to watch for miracles. So we did! That day, we were tracting and found a girl named Maria and I was able to give my first harvest blessing! Pretty nerve racking but it was very cool to feel the spirit work through me. Anyway, we have an appointment with her this week so we are just PRAYING that she will be curious enough to want to learn more and that we will have someone to teach. Remember the family I told you about that we keep trying to set up an appointment with them but they're not interested? So we just stop in all the time for water and have made friends with them? It's the County family and they called us that same day wondering if we could come help them with service! We were stoked because it was a chance to get back in their house. We have since helped them scrub the floor and paint their walls. It was actually really funny because while we were doing that, guess what show came on TV? Yup, it was 3:00 and Ellen came on! I was dying. Tempation was seriously staring me in the face haha but I tried to be obedient and just moved to a place where I couldn't see the TV. It was so hard though! I miss watching Ellen :( But anyway, that was a big miracle because we are slowly teaching them without them realizing it :) That same day we were walking around a park and we ran into a guy we had talked to a couple days ago named Hector. He remembered all of our names and everything and said that he would come to our scripture study class! [side note: we are starting a Book of Mormon class every Saturday to hopefully get some new investigators. So far the most people we have had is 2 hahaha] THEN , the next night we had an appointment at 8:30 but hadn't gotten all our OYM's yet and had to be home at 9. Anyway, we said a prayer to know what to do, then started driving.. As we were driving, our appointment texted us and rescheduled so we were able to get our OYMs! It was really small and simple but it was so good to know that the Lord is watching over us :)
I had my first flat tire this week! And currently Sister Nelson has one too so we have been able to take the car the last few days which has been reaaaaal nice! I also got asked on a date this week! Hahaha we were handing out pass-a-long cards one night and Sister Nelson was talking to this black guy that wanted our number and it was on the card we gave him, so he followed us around and was asking to hang out and all that.. It was super funny. When we got home, he called us, asked specifically for me and asked me on a date! I obviously had to tell him no and explained what we are and what we do. I said the only way we can "hang out" is if we talk about Jesus stuff hahaha. It was super funny. We also got hit on by the guy at cold stone and we got free ice cream :) There are benefits of being 3 cute girls :)
This week overall was great and I love this work. I read Mormon 8 and 9 today and it's all about how God is a God of miracles. That was the foundation of our week I feel like. I know it's hard to think that we have miracles happen today, but I know that they don't always have to be big miracles. They happen every single day, multiple times a day. I know if you pray for miracles to happen, and have the faith that they will, God will not let us down. God is a God of miracles and I know that He wants us to be happy. I know we have to expect miracles to happen in order for them to happen. I'm so glad I have this chance to be in California, even if it's 100+ degrees some days, and to share what I know to be 100% true with people. I love my companions and I love this gospel! Hope you have a great week and expect miracles!
I love you all so so much!!
Love,

Sister Anderson :)

July 8


Hello family!
 
This week was.. Interesting but good! Let's see.. So we taught Mandy and Jen a couple more times and they were doing great! They said they were coming to church and all that and then Friday we went to visit them and neither of them were home.. We texted and called them and got nothing.. And they didn't come to church :( Super disappointing, but we tried. During one of our lessons, Jen said that she was grateful for us and that she can see the light that I have and can see how happy I am. That made me SO happy. It was such a great compliment that meant so much. All my hard work is at least paying off somehow! We are hopefully meeting with them more this week so we'll see what happens with that! However, it was very cool because since we didn't see Mandy, we had a bunch of time so we went to this less active family's home and they have a 19 yr old son, and a 14 yr old daughter that aren't members. So since Mandy cancelled, we were able to visit the son, Dakota. At the end of the lesson he committed to being baptized at the end of the month! That was super exciting and he is so ready to be baptized. It's crazy how the Lord works but it was definitely very cool.
 
This week Sister Pack was sick for a few days. We think it was from the heat of the weekend and that she got heat stroke or something.. But that meant Sister Nelson and I went out on our own! It was fun to try to do things on our own and see what we have learned so far. We did pretty well :) I haven't told you yet, but our ward is half Chinese, so the Chinese speaking elders (also the Zone Leaders) told Sister Pack to go to one of the Chinese members homes and they would give her Chinese medicine to get better. It actually did work but it gave her weird bruises all over her neck and back.. It was super weird.
 
For the 4th of July we had to be in by 6:00 which was kinda nice! Our zone all met at the church so they knew everyone was okay. We just messed around and we got to watch 17 Miracles! Sounds dumb but for a missionary that was GOLD. Of course we bawled through the whole thing.. I was seriously a mess, but it was such a great reminder of what the pioneers did for us. I can't even imagine doing what they did. Overall the 4th was a good day :)
 
The members always feed us every night so we always get a cooked dinner which is good... Sometimes. Since half our ward is Chinese, we get Chinese dinners a lot. I love Chinese food, don't get me wrong, but remember how I hate dumplings? Guess what we had this week :) 3 HEAPING plates of dumplings. And of course we can't be rude so I ate them.. Gagged them down basically. Oh and to top it all off, we had egg soup with fish in it, that STILL HAD THEIR HEADS ON. It was disgusting. I seriously just had to make it go down my throat. It was awful! But I'm grateful that we have home cooked meals every night... :) (I'm doing everything I can to be as positive as I can.. It's a lot harder than you think...)
 
My first fast Sunday was this week! I love fast Sundays but they are a lot different as a missionary. We actually had to fast for 2 meals like we're supposed to! Hahaha I don't know if I have ever done that before and it was very hard! However the hour that we get for lunch everyday turns into an hour to take a nap on fast Sunday! It was so great! I honestly think the hardest thing about my mission so far is waking up at 6:30 haha. That and the heat are the only things that have been hard for me so I consider that a blessing!
 
Probably the highlight of my week (this week we had hardly any success with anyone) was our geography class that we have every day with Sister Pack! Oh my gosh I laugh so hard everyday. I was telling them about that episode of Ellen where she asked what country Paris was in and no one knew.. So we asked Sister Pack and she didn't know! So that led to crying from laughing so hard.. Then to more questions, where countries are, what the continents are (she didn't know any of this) what continent these countries are on.. All that. It's hilarious. I don't know why she doesn't know any of it but it's the best part of our day. It's so funny!
We also like to play jokes on each other, especially when we're in the shower haha so when Sister Pack was showering one day we took all her clothes out of her closet and the ones she took in the bathroom with her and we hid them :) It took her all day to find everything :) Then when I was in the shower one day I got out and my desk was in the bathroom hahaha we have a good time with each other :) Oh Sister Pack also got some CD's from her family.. so we listen to remakes of primary songs like the snowman song, the eensy weensy spider.. We think it's hilarious. I almost hate myself because I like it so much.. That's what I've turned into hahaha.
 
Like I said this week we had basically zero success. No one would listen to us or really give us a chance, including our investigators. We made the most out of what we could though and we still had a good week. I am loving what I get to do everyday. I love being a missionary. I know that this is where I am supposed to be and what I'm supposed to be doing. I have been so blessed to be here and to be a part of this work! My companions are some of my best friends already. Sister Nelson and I are like twins. We have so much in common and I love her. I love Sister Pack too. I have been so blessed! Don't ever say that I'm in a threesome (I made that mistake once) Just say I'm in a trio :)
I have been studying D&C a lot and my testimony of Joseph Smith has grown a lot in the last week. I have such respect for that man and for what he did for us. I am so grateful to have the Book of Mormon and to know that it is inspired revelation for our days. I know that it will make you happier by reading it and by following what it says. I love the personal study time I get each morning. That's what gets me out of bed :) I love you all and miss you a lot but I know that you will be blessed because I am here saving people's lives! :) I pray for you all specifically every night! Stay safe and have a great week at trek!
 
Love love love you!
 
Sister Anderson :)
 
p.s. Luke, Liza, and Phebe - I am writing you all letters back so look for them in the mail! Thanks for writing me!! :)

Week Two - Eastvale, CA

Hello!
 
This week was great! Another adventure for Sister Anderson in Eastvale, California!


Before I start, I forgot to tell you that last week we got locked out! We went running in the morning and Sister Pack forgot the keys so we sat outside for like four hours waiting for someone to come home. When we realized how long we had been out there, we finally walked over to the other sisters home and they called Sister Buckwalter (that's who's home we live in!) and her son came and let us in. Anyway that happened again this week hahaha. Sister Pack is too funny and always forgets the keys.
 
This week was incredibly hot. It got up to 109 degrees. It's fine I like riding my bike in that heat and being never not sweaty :) We just have to embrace it basically because we don't have a choice. That is how we get into some people's homes though. I'm sure we look so awful and gross so they are forced to let us in for some water :) There is one family, the County family, that we came across tracting one day. They are Christian and just go to a Christian church. We keep stopping in for water and that's how we have our lessons because they won't schedule an actual lesson with us. So we're working on them haha. We also have a great new investigator that is MY first. The other ones we have were all here when I got here, but this girl, Mandy, is one that all three of us found. She is 23? and has a fiancé, smokes, has a little girl, and is in a rough time in her life. We found her doing harvest blessings and she just bawled through the whole thing. Since then we have taught her a couple lessons and she is super open to everything we say and she really seems to be accepting it so far. She has a friend named Jen that will sometimes sit in on the lessons. We have given them both a Book of Mormon and they both love it! I can really see a good turn out with them and see them getting baptized. However, they will take a lot of work, especially with the Word of Wisdom and Chastity, so we are keeping them in our prayers.
 
On Friday we had our Trainer and Trainee Meeting at the mission home. That was really good and I got to see all of my MTC friends again before the mission split! That was really fun to see them and we all learned a lot from President and Sister Smart. They are definitely inspired people and are perfect for this calling.
 

This weekend, Eastvale had a "Picnic in the Park" for the Fourth of July. We had a booth there that some of the missionaries worked at. It was SO HOT. Sweat was seriously just dripping down all of our faces. It was pretty miserable, but we had some good chances to talk to people and now have some potential investigators from it! There was one 16 year old boy that tried to bash with us. He had been a member till he was 14 then fell away. He was very knowledgeable about the Bible and about Joseph Smith. There were many times that he thought he had a good point and then someone would say something and he had nothing to say back. All of us were so filled with the spirit that at some point, he got really emotional and told us all that we are being lied to and we are wasting our time doing this. He challenged us to challenge our testimony and to challenge the church to know if what we are doing is right. After that, almost in unison, we all said "We have! That's why we're here!" It was such a great experience because everything he would say we all had a comeback and that just helped my testimony grow so much stronger. That I do know that I'm not wasting my time and that I am doing this for a purpose. It made me so sad that he was so lost but I think we got to him at least a little bit.
 
Sunday we got a new bishopric which will be good to start fresh with all new people. Even though I didn't have very long to get to know the old bishopric, it was still an emotional and spiritual meeting. Maybe because my emotions have been so high since I've been here. Sacrament meeting made me miss all of you. There was a family that was sitting in front of us that the kids wouldn't leave each other alone and they eventually had to get up and rearrange their seating spots just like we do so the kids aren't by each other :) I was trying not to laugh but then I realized how much I miss everyone. It's okay though! I'll come back soon :)
 
I love being a missionary and I love being in a trio! My companions are the greatest and I get along with them so well. Seriously Sister Nelson and I are basically the same person and I think we had the same life before our missions too haha. It's kinda weird but we will be friends for life :) Sister Pack is just hilarious and we are always laughing. It's so much fun :)
 
I'm so glad I have this opportunity to wear this little black badge over my heart everyday. It gives me so much strength and power. I hardly want to take it off when I go to bed! (I wore it to bed at night in the MTC but realized that was weird when I got to California....) I LOVE IT. I love being able to tell multiple people everyday that I am a representative of Jesus Christ and that what we know can bring happiness and peace into their lives. It is such a rush when they say yes and want to learn more. I have this automatic love for everyone I talk to and I just want to help everyone that doesn't have this gospel.
 
Thank you for all your support and love! I love you all and pray for you every single night. Don't forget about me and ALWAYS know that I love you and love this gospel!
 
With much love,
 
Sister Anderson
 
p.s. If you want your mind blown... Read Moses 1. The Pearl of Great Price is INSANE.
