HOLA FAMILIA!!! Como estan? First
off, happy birthday Kennedy on Friday!!!! 17....you’re getting old! Well, this
is my last letter....CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?! I can’t.....time went by so fast. I’m
pretty sure this is my last letter since I will be traveling to Juarez next
Monday. I doubt I will have the chance
to write. Everyone is asking me how I feel. I honestly feel like my life is
passing in a dream right now, kind of like my last week at home before I went
to the MTC. It’s strange. Anyways, a few ideas for the airport....I’m really
dying to eat Sticky Finger Quesadillas from Wingers...could someone please bring
them? Thanks.
I hope you guys have enjoyed the
posts for Facebook. We put them in a program so they post automatically...I’m
not in internet all day ha-ha. Evelyn will be baptized this week on
Saturday....she is super excited and so am I. She said the funniest thing when
we asked her who she wanted to perform the ordinance, she said, "I really
want the prophet to baptize me." We told her his schedule was pretty full.
She loves the idea of a living prophet. I went to Juarez on Thursday and Friday
for leadership meetings and the bus ride gave me some time to think about my
plans when I get home. Could someone find the Lion King in Spanish? Watching
that is on my to-do list...and sledding, too. As for school, I’m still just
rolling with the punches ha-ha. But this week flew by. I was only in my area 2
days the entire week. On Tuesday, I went on intercambios with Hermana Zepeda,
we had fun. It was a companionship reunion!!! She is really a great missionary.
It was fun to see her progress from when she first got here and didn’t say
anything, to a missionary that testifies and invites people to make commitments
with power. I love her so much!! I hope you guys will have the chance one day
to meet her. We committed one of their investigators who battles with an addiction
to tobacco to fast. Hermana Zepeda told me he did fast and sounds a lot more
motivated. So, yeah, that’s my week super-fast. I’m going to keep busy this
week and work hard until the end. I can rest in one week. I’M SO EXCITED TO SEE
YOU ALL!!!!
Well, my thought comes from what I
learned in Relief Society this Sunday. The RS president, Lily Gonzalez, shared
the Tale of the Three Trees (check the linkhttp://www.inver.org/ceantar/Learning_Circle/folkflorida.htm ) Anyways, I loved the familiar story, I’ve read it before.
But it meant a lot more to me this time. As I’ve been wondering about what the
heck I’m going to do when I get home, I’ve really not worried too much. Because
in the end, I can make plans and have hopes...but Heavenly Father has His own
purposes in mind. Really what I hope is that He will help me fulfill my mission
in life, even if it wasn’t what I exactly had planned. Here in the mission,
I’ve learned to trust Him more than anything. So, I hope we can all make the
choice to prayerfully make goals and plans, then hand it all over to the One
who knows exactly what we need.
Well, I guess that will be all. I
love you all so much and will see you all soon!! December 16th at
10:30pm....don’t forget!!! Thank you all so much for the love and support, I
couldn’t have done it without your support, love, and prayers. UNTIL NEXT TIME
IN THE AIRPORT.....XOXOXOXOXOXOXO #livedthedream
Con todo mi amor,
Hermana Anderton
