Familia
Well first I am super
surprised/happy that dad got to go hear Hermana Hermansen speak, sounds like
she did great she was a great example of serving others and forgetting herself.
Also I am sorry for the loss of Kate's grandma, hopefully her travels went safely
The Cause for Hope
sounds awesome, probably just because it has to do with Central and South America
:).
We had interchanges this
weekend, I was with Hermana Smith from Alpine, Utah, same stake as Hermana
Stott. I was with her in her area, which is like a small folk farm town. It was
fun. Also I rode a bike for the first time in the mission. The
brakes aren´t that great and they are pretty old, but it was fun. I don´t think
I have told you but lots of people here in this area ride their bikes and sometimes
I think about my bike at home, but not a lot. I just think about how much fun
they are having and that the gospel could make them happier. So with
interchanges I learned more the importance to talk to all. The days really are
better when we just talk to everyone and enjoy all the great small miracles
that happen daily
This week we had stake conference
and the missionaries were invited to the adult session because we talked about
missionary work and how the members and us have to work together. Elder Sabaios
from the 70 came and spoke, and Hermana Kahnlein and Pres Kahnlein gave talks, which
I loved of course. The rest of the time was the old stake pres and new stake
presidency bearing their testimonies.
I really should start
making lists of great things that happen but yesterday we were contacting and
this 14 yr old girl came up to us panicked asking if we could have a
prayer. We asked her what happened and introduced ourselves and went to a park
sat down and she continued to tell us that the dad (her sister's husband or
boyfriend no sure which) of the baby (24 yrs and the baby 5 months old ) had
just died in an accident that day and the baby was crying and wouldn´t stop and
wouldn´t eat and she was alone so we taught her about prayer and a little of the
plan of salvation and asked if we could pass by to give this message of peace
to her family in need of this. She said yes and her faith was so amazing because
she was like when can you come by. So we gave her our number and we have hers
and I hope we can contact her sister this week because this Gospel and message
is something that can truly bring peace into their lives. I love how the Lord
works in such simple ways. Truly sometimes we search for great grand things to
happen, but I know that it is through great and small things that great things
happen...even prayer so never stop saying your prayers.
Investigators we are working with:
R - we found out
that his less active girl friend moved in with him this week and he wasn´t able
to come to Stake Conference...so we have to teach the law of chastity. Hermana
Rodriguez had a lesson with him the night was I was gone
A -is great and has
felt the spirit I know we just need to help her act and attend church.
O -Hermana
Rodriguez saw him Friday when I wasn't here...he too wasn't able to make it to
the conference
We have a husband of a
member who was able to come to stake conference he has a Book of Mormon and we
are helping him in his search, he says he is waiting to feel something to be
baptized, so we are going to talk about revelation and the importance to act in
our family night with the family tonight.
We washed the dishes of
a member this week after lunch and now they also ask if we need something or
super willing to give us lunch and we asked for references yesterday and they
gave us their neighbor's one who is a less active and lives with his
family......AH this work is amazing. Oh and at lunch when we did the paper it's
called my salvation where the members put their friends, family, neighbors, and
others even if they don´t live in this area to start praying for them...she put
like a million names, after Hermana Rodriguez and I started to cry...ha-ha I
know it may sound silly but her example of faith and humility was such a great
testimony to me. Oh not to mention she fed us tacos because my comp is from Mexico
and next time she said we are going to eat hamburgers with fries...YES
Today we are going to
cut the grass in front of our house because it´s super long and looks like someone
abandoned it. So that's our fun for p-day and we are going to eat ice cream in Lider.
I know this is the Lords
work and that we can truly be so happy when we follow the counsel of the
prophets. Interviews went well President thanked me for my diligence and being willing/not
complaining when I am transferred. In his prayer he prayed that I could gain
more faith, hope and charity...so those are my goals for this transfer. Oh also
the goal of this week is for Hermana Rodriguez and I to find a family. We want
one with a new born baby or an 8 yr old and mom and dad...I know we can do
it...it´s faith and hope!
I love you all so much.
Also mom I love your emails too they make me laugh because well they just do because
they are from you and I love how you write to me and they remind me of the
amazing family and parents that I have. Love you all so much!!! Also help the
missionaries :).
le amo mucho!
Hermana Morgan Anderson
