My time in Tihuatlan has
come to a close! After being born and raised here for 3 months, I will
be taking my talents to the Zone Macuiltepetl, and my area is
Macuiltepetl 2. My new companion is named Elder Gonzalez and I will have
the incredible opportunity to be the Senior companion in our
companionship. I am incredibly excited for this opportunity and can't
wait to see what I can do! Anyways here was my final week in Tihuatlan!
This
week in church was the "Primary Program" for our branch in Tihuatlan.
They have more or less 10 primary kids, so it was super fun to see them
perform their songs and give their memorized parts. It reminded me a ton
of back home and I was another testament to me how similar the church
is in so many different parts of the world. It is also a testament to
see how much the church is growing. These few kids are some of the first
kids in their families to be born within the church. The majority of
members here are converts, so to see this rising generation with lives
in the church makes me excited for their future. The members are so
faithful here and are raising righteous families within the gospel of
Jesus Christ.
We also got to bring a few of
our investigators to church for the first time which was super nice
because it has been a challenge for us as of recent to get people to
attend sacrament meeting. Of course it would happen in my last week here
but you know what that's just life.
Elder
Gavia and I had a super fun lunch the other day with a member that just
recently was added to our meal list. We got there, chatted a little bit
and all of a sudden she throws down 20 enchiladas in front of each of
us. It was like the leaning tower of enchiladas, and we knew there was
no way we were finishing all of them. She then proceeded to bring out
beans and eggs and we knew we were toast. We tried our best, but
unfortunately could not eat it all and finished with a few enchiladas
remaining. One of our biggest challenges always is if we can finish the
food haha I know I sound pampered right now but its like real life.
Anyway, those were some of the highlights of the week! Love the work and am excited for the new opportunity in Macuiltepetl 2!
Love and miss you all,
Elder Anderson
