Hey Fam!
This past week was pretty good! Flew by
really fast, but everything was really good. We had some good lessons,
found some good people to teach and all.
This
past week we had Stake Conference. As we got into the church President Woodward was there with his family. He and his wife both spoke in the conference as well as Elder Zapatta of the 70. As I was listening to
them all talk I had one of those big flashback moments. I looked back and
saw all the things I have done in my mission. All the people I have
been able to bless. All the lives I have been able to see changed, and I can honestly say
that I have received way more blessings than I have given. I have been
changed more than I have changed others. That's why I say the windows of
heaven must be big. because I can see the huge blessings that are in my
life. I can see how much God really loves and cares about me. One thing
that I was also able to do is see how much more I need to change. I can
see that I have a lot of work to do and I need to put my shoulder even
more into the plow and not look back. So this past week I have put a
bunch of goals and found a bunch of things that I can change to become a
better member of the church, a better person, and a better missionary. I
invite all of you to do the same thing. Take a minute and have a
little self inventory, then make the changes necessary in your lives.
After
the conference I got the chance to talk to Hermana Woodward. She asked
me if I have had a chance to meet her kids yet. And in my whole time in
the mission I haven't. So I went out to the car where all the kids were
and got to meet them all. They have 3 boys and 1 girl, but it was super
great to meet them. I talked with Hermana Woodward and she explained a
lot about her family and it sounds so much like my family. ha ha! Kids
fighting on car rides and all. I really loved talking to them. They are so cool! The more I get to know the Woodward's the more I
love them. They are such a great family!
So
this past week we have had some earthquakes, haha! We will see where it
leads next week. People say the earth goes through this here every
couple of months.
I love being out here in the
fields of El Monte, and I love testifying of Christ to all of the
people. I hope that you all take every chance you have to share your
testimonies of Christ.
Have a great week everyone!
Elder Anderson
