Hey y'all!!
So I guess I'll
just get this out of the way first. Transfer news came out last night
and despite my best efforts and prayers I have been transfered out of
Marble Falls. To say I'm sad is an understatement, I have grown to love
this area so much and leaving will not be easy. I am incredibly grateful
for all of the experiences I had and the people I met here. I will be
transfered to the Round Rock Ward, in the Round Rock East Stake. I will
be coming there with an Elder Okleberry, who has similar amount of time
as me in the mission field. We will be entering in Whitewash (two elders
new to the area) which will make things interesting. I am looking
forward to the opportunity to serve in Round Rock and can't wait to get
started. I will miss Marble Falls but I know there is a lot of good
waiting for me in my next area. I am also super excited for Elder
Jenson, who will be training here in Marble Falls. They will take great
care of the area and achieve great things.
To
give a recap on the week, we were BUSY!!! Lots of great things going on
and lots of progress made. I had the opportunity to go on two sets of
exchanges this week. One with the Llano elders, and another with the
assistants. On Wednesday I went out to Llano, and spent the day with
Elder Hunter. We did a ton of service, visited some Members and stayed
busy. Out in Llano they have one of the oldest populations in the
states, so all the members treat the missionaries like their
grandchildren, and they get pretty spoiled. I think I gained at least 5
pounds from all the snacks and food they gave us.
On
Friday Elder Jenson and I got to be joined by one of the APs, Elder
Dimond, out here in Marble Falls. We had a good, productive day, and
learned a lot. Elder Dimond is a really good example of obedience and
consecration, and I picked many things from his example that I hope to
apply to my own missionary service.
Other
than that we did our normal missionary things, lots of service,
teaching and finding those who are willing to let God prevail. The
mission is a journey and in every step along the way I have learned so
many valuable things for my life. I can't wait to see what this next
step has in store!
Love and miss you all!
Elder Anderson
