Well today I have 16 months on the mission. I
totally forgot when our district leader sent us a message saying happy 16
months. I can’t believe how fast time goes! I really don’t feel like I have 16
months and I don’t really feel like I only have 2 months left but whatever. I
will enjoy every minute of it.
So this week was all
about the temple, it was such a spiritually uplifting week. On Wednesday we
had a multi-zone conference. It was so awesome. President Smith is so
spiritual. I love listening to him. He talked about new goals that he has for
the mission. He taught us that we need to focus on the end point which is our investigators. Go to the temple because our purpose as
missionaries is to invite ppl to come unto Christ but they can’t fully come
unto him if they don’t go to the temple. They talked about a ton of awesome
stuff. I was so spiritually uplifted and thought to myself why wasn’t President
Smith my president when I started the mission. He will be such a great mission
president for this mission and is. But I know he will help out the mission a
lot. When I listen to him I feel like I’m listening to one of the 70’s or an apostle.
He is great.
On Friday we went
to the temple!!!!!!!!!!!! Let me tell you it was the best and sooooo needed! We
got a private bus for the whole zone which was so much better. Even though
there where a ton of annoying gringos in my zone that wouldn’t shut up during
the car ride. I went to the temple with some questions and got some answers.
But one thing I wasn’t even thinking about and Heavenly Father gave me was
peace about finishing my mission and He let me know that maybe my mission as a
full time missionary is ending but when I get home a whole new mission is
waiting for me. Which made me feel a lot better and a lot more at peace which
was so great.
Toto news- Yeni got
married!! yay!!!! I’m so happy about that. It sounds like it was stressful
planning it out but it all worked out ok.
Yesterday was a good
day at church I enjoyed it a lot. Especially Relief Society where a sister
shared such a good lesson. It was fantastic and it was about the temple and
missionary work, which was great. Also my companion and I went to the Women’s
Conference. If you haven’t seen it go and watch it right now! It was so amazing
and I felt like it was focusing on the temple. We are so unbelievably blessed
to have temples. Especially because it helps us become closer to our Savior
Jesus Christ.
So this week we went
and visited a recent convert. She is kind of nuts and kind of stresses me out
because she is always stressing out. But we asked her what we could help her
with and she was like fold my baby’s clothes. So I folded all of them and then I
went into her baby’s room and she was like my baby’s closet is a mess. Can you organize and fold all the clothes for
me? Can I just tell you I HATE folding baby clothes? They are just so tiny and it’s
so hard. But it kind of made me laugh because we helped fold baby clothes last
week and I thought to myself I never want to fold them again and then this
happened hahaha. Oops.
Yesterday we made real
Mexican tacos with a family. Can I just say they were the best tacos I have
ever had in my life!!! while we were cooking though there was a ton of huge
ants and the sister saw them and was like… oh there’s ants, find a few more and
we will cook them up. Let me tell you I thought that was hilarious. In place of
freaking out she was like yeah let’s eat them! Oh Guatemala.
But anyways. Can I
just say how much I love the temple? Let us never take them for granted. I know
they truly are the house of the Lord and is the only way we can know and better
understand the atonement of our savior Jesus Christ.
But have a wonderful
week and a wonderful general conference! I’m so excited for conference!!!
woohoo!!!! Love you all
Hermana Anderson
