Great first week of the
transfer here in Tihuatlan! I met my new companion on Tuesday and we got
right to work! His name is Elder Gavia, he only has 6 months in the
mission and is full of energy and loves the work. He is great at talking
to people about the gospel and starting conversations and I have
learned so so so much from him in this first week. We have been working
like crazy trying to find and teach more people here and while there
have been some challenges, we have been making some really good
progress.
One funny thing that happened this
week is that we found this really cool family that lives close to the
church building and we started teaching them. We got through one of the
lessons and we wanted to invite them to be baptized. While inviting them
to be baptized not once, not twice, but three times their 5 year old
kid and their dog interrupted in some way or another. That little brat
was definitely up to know good haha. Joking!!! They are all super
awesome and they accepted and we are hoping to have them progress to be
able to reach that goal of baptism.
In
preparation for General Conference in a few weeks I have been listening
to a lot of old conference talks and coming up with questions that I
would like answered during the sessions. I challenge all of you to
prepare these next couple weeks for this incredible occasion to hear the
words of the living prophets and apostles on the earth today. I testify
of their power and authority and the incredible blessing it is to have
that authority on the earth today. The central part of our message as
missionaries is that that authority of God was lost for many years after
Christ and was restored with Joseph Smith and is still on the earth
today. Because of that we can be shielded from the temptations of the
world and prepare to return and live with God again. What an incredible
blessing!
I love you all and hope you are doing so well
Elder Anderson
