Well. I just want to start by rubbing it in your face that it was 96 degrees here yesterday :) I will probs melt in the summer.. But I would choose that over Utah weather right now anyday!
This week was good :) We had our multizone conference which is always good. It was all about being a conduit for the Spirit between you and Heavenly Father. They talked a lot about church attendence and getting our investigators to come to church, and also being unified as a companionship, which we really needed. Things with Sister Cho and I have been a lot better. We are not best friends but at least this week we got a long. We still have a lot to work on but that's okay. We are tolerating each other and talking more so that is good!
We picked up a new investigator this week. Her name is Amy Duke.. Her husband is an inactive member and they have 2 daughters that are 8 (golden) and 5. She is super sweet and she honestly is an answer to prayers. There is a lot of potential with her and we are hoping she will be able to be baptized this next month!
With Brother Minton... I feel like we are in some stupid high school relationship with him haha. So last week he was all offended and mad at us, then we went over a few times this week and he acted like nothing even happened! Of course we didn't say anything about it either... so we broke up for a hot second but now we're back together :) hahahaha
Yesterday, the elders had a baptism for a 17 year old girl named Destiny. It was pretty cool because she joined the church all from one of her friends asking her if she wanted to come to church. It was a very spiritual baptism and it just made it so clear to me that we have such an important work to do. We never know who is searching for truth in their lives, unless we simply ask. We invite. It's not that hard!! I know the Lord is coming SOON and we have to get things done before He does. How have you all been doing with missionary efforts? I need some success stories!
I know this work is hard... But it is so worth it. SO worth it. I have learned so much in the past 9 months that i wouldnt have if i didnt come on a mission. These missions are hard because we are representing Jesus Christ. Sure He was perfect, but His life wasn't easy either. If we are representing Him for 18 months, we shouldnt expect it to be easy. I know that He is controlling this work, and that He is standing side by side with me, and all the other thousands of missionaries serving right now. And I am so grateful for that!
Have a beautiful week! I know I will here in California!
Love you all!
Sister Anderson :)
p.s. I am working on a birthday list that i will send home soon! These are my last months as a teenager! Yikes.
