Oh my
goodness, well I am grateful my family is safe after a wild weekend at the
cabin, I of course LOVED conference and watched it in English with the other gringos...one
Hermana, Hermana Thykson who was in my District in the MTC is in this zone with
me so it was fun to see her and catch up and watch conference in English.
I
hope that Limari is doing well and that they continue to grow. It was a good
area that I grew to love.
Hermana Rodriguez...well
is pretty much amazing, she is so kind, caring, humble, soft spoken, helps me
with my Spanish, super great in lessons, loving, she has many many talents I am
grateful to have her as a companion and learn from her. She has 5 months in the
mission
Oh so today we had to go
change my address for my ID card and I of course hate these things and was
dreading it and also the zone leaders had told us that we could leave at 8 but
of course the both of us are horrible at making such decisions as if we should
leave at 8 or do studies but we decided to do studies because well after
watching conference I couldn´t not do studies in the morning. And when we went
to the place to change my address it was SUPER fast like 10 min, so we were def
blessed.
Okay well I loved conference
I can´t really begin to choose a favorite. I loved that Saturday the emphasis
that we should all work together (members and full time missionaries.) oh and
we watched the RS broadcast Saturday morning. I think the overall theme that I
loved about Sunday was that we need to watch and be putting God as our priority
and that his laws will always be the same. I loved Dallin H. Oaks and his talk.
Also Ulisses Soares ( I take the liberty to titled the talks and I titled his -
Live in the Spirit...so in order to live in the spirit we have to be meek and
humble and we can overcome our weaknesses through Jesus Christ. I also loved
the talk about how decisions shape destiny and that by one little decision not
to go to sacrament meeting a whole generation was lost...this effected me a lot...as
missionaries we have a lot of decisions to make and I want to do the best I can
for these people and help them enjoy the gospel.
Ah of course I could go
on forever about conference.but all I can say is I can´t wait to study the
talks and to put these things into practice.that is one thing I love about conference
is it shows us how we can LIVE the gospel better. Dad thanks for your comments I
loved reading about your first conference. Sounds exciting. And yea I can´t
believe this was my 2nd conference in the mission...time goes by SOOOO
fast.
Oh I forgot if I told
you last week but of the words of Hermana Kahnlein that I loved from
transfers...she talked about how we are representing Christ as missionaries now
and so we should pray every day do see how we can become more like Christ and
for one year and a half we can put aside the things we liked.
Well mom to answer your
questions, my apartment is like a town house and it is blue :). There are two
bathrooms but only one works for the shower...oh we had some cold showers this
week but that's nothing new on the mission.
And yes for the most
part we walk everywhere, which I like. We have an investigator named A who
came to the last session of conference he is a boy friend to a member and the
hermanas had been teaching him...so we finally found him and he said he wants
to be baptized.
I told you about O
right? She is super humble and when we talked about the law of chastity she
said it was like a dream....it is so true and the most amazing thing is that
this is a dream we can have...we can have a happy marriage if we only follow
this law.
R is good but
wasn´t able to come to conference because he had to take care of his grandma in
another city.
We are still trying to
see what we can do to have more success with the ward, we hope to have an
activity so that missionary work will be easy for them all they have to do is
invite a friend...but we still have trouble coordinating with the bishop. The Relief
Society Pres is amazing! She has so much excitement for the work and she hopes
to serve a mission with her husband next year.
This week we set out to
find a recent convert in the county...only after walking 2 hours we found a
member who said it was on the complete other side, so we had to head back to
where we live before it got dark...but it was super pretty and I love to walk
in nature. We have so many great things in this world it's so sad of how many distractions
we have...Thank goodness we have the Gospel and direction.
Well I hope you all
enjoyed conference and am super grateful Jonathan, Maddy and Penny are all
okay!!! I love that we have this special opportunity to receive this
direction and protection from the world today.I know I shouldn´t worry about
this now but with the talks I was super scared to return to the world and have
access to such things but I will just have to learn self control. I know that
God's way is the safest and happiest way we can find. I know our Heavenly
Father loves us and that Jesus is the Christ! I love teaching this Gospel to
those to accept it and helping them feel of Christ love. I love you all so
much, thank you for your examples and desires to follow our Heavenly Father.
This Gospel is so real!
Oh we also got a new
fridge this week. yay!
Sorry I can´t seem to
get the computer to read my camera today. so no pictures but I love you all so
very much!!!!!!
Love, Hermana Morgan
Anderson
And remember: Do
whatever possible to always live in the Spirit.
We have stake conference
this week and I don´t remember who but someone from the 70 is coming...yay! We
are encouraged to look our best and we have interviews with the president this
week. k love you all I am really ending this email now ;)
