Dear Family and Friends,
This week was good!
Crazy busy though. I felt like we were always doing something, which is good
just tiring!!
Tuesday: We woke up at 6:00 to
go shovel some driveways. Cause wow it snowed here! Like 4-5 feet of snow. It
was nuts!! Everyone in the entire mission got grounded from there cars because
there was so much snow on the roads. Then we went with a recent convert named
Taz to workout at a place called lifetime fitness. It was fun we went in the
Sauna and played some basketball. Then I went on exchanges with the Spanish
elder. Elder Richins. It was super fun! He is so cool! I really like him a lot
and learned a lot from him. We had dinner with a family and the rule was we
could only speak Spanish so that was fun. I could actually say a few things and
understand quite a bit, all thanks to Coach Kunzler. Then we had a lesson
with some guy I can't remember his name. But it was taught in Spanish
obviously. I did not say anything, but I did for sure feel the spirit it was so
cool.
Wednesday: We had
district meeting. It was really good! We got a training on receiving
revelation. I got a lot out of it. Then since we were out of miles, we were on
out bikes for a few hours. It was so hard biking in 2 feet of snow. I fell like
3 times hahah, it was very frustrating. Then we had dinner with the Stallings
family. They are super cool! There son just returned from Brazil on his mission
and it was fun talking to him about his experiences. Then we played basketball
at the church. Lots of non members came this week so it was really good to see
that.
Thursday: We did some
service at Prince of Peace for a few hours, that is always fun. Then we saw a
few members, and shared some messages with them. Then we went to the Holmbergs
and had dinner with them. They had the college football playoff on, so that was
difficult hahah.
Friday: We had P day,
which was really fun. We played Basketball, Soccer, Frisbee, Wiffle Ball, and
Volleyball. Wow that was so much fun! I was really tired after it though. But
so worth it. :) Then we had dinner with the Briggs family. They were cool! Then
we went to the Richards family's home. One of my favorites in the ward. They
are so cool!
Saturday: We had
Basketball at 10:00- 12:00 and that was fun. Then from 12:00 -
2:00 we did some planning. Then from 2:00 - 4:00 we played
volleyball. Playing all these sports are so fun. It is such a good way to get
less actives, investigators and just anyone out. Our ward is very good at
fellow shipping people. Much better than the ward in Thunder Bay.
Sunday: We had church
which was really good. None of our investigators were there though, so that was
a bummer.. Then ate at the Richards home again. They love us so they feed us a
lot haha! Then we got a call from a member who had to go to the ER and he
needed food. So we called a different member to ask if they could give us some
food to take to him and they said yes. So we took that to him in Burnsville.
Which is like 25 minutes away. So we got back to our apartment at 11:00 so
that was rough. But we got permission. So don't worry we are being obedient :)
One of the messages I
shared with members this week, was out of an article in the October 2014 Ensign
called " The Jaedite Cabbage " I cannot remember if I already told
you guys about it. But I really love it! I encourage all of you to go read it.
Thanks for everything again. The weeks are just flying by, it is crazy. I love
you all! Have the best week!!
Love,
Elder
Anderson
