Transfered To The Edge Of The Mission

Hey hey hey!!!!  

Good morning from the edge of the mission!  So I was transferred to the very edge of the mission.  And my companion is... Sister Andersen!  I love her!  She and I are a lot alike.  We always are thinking the same thing and it's just so much fun.  She's also helping me out a ton with my Spanish.  And guess what else... our ward has us and one other set of missionaries.  They're names are Elder... Anderson and Elder Powell. So funny huh?  In church they said we'd like to welcome "las Hermanas Anderson." That's what everyone calls us.  Everyone also asks us if we're all related.  I love it!  

The ward is amazing!  I came from a small Spanish branch that averaged maybe 40-50 people each week to this HUGE ward that averages 300-350 each week!  The ward's goal for baptisms this year is 70 people!  The members are AMAZING!  

On Wednesday night (our first night) we went to the church and met some people and some men came up to us and said "how many times a week do you need members out with you?" We said "6 nights a week" and they said that they would work it out!  I'm used to having to call for hours every day to find someone to come out and here they arrange it all for us!  So cool!  

This area is super nice.  And guess what... we have our very own house!  Someone moved back to Mexico and wanted the missionaries to live in their house for free.  So based on everything I've said, you can imagine it is a way nice area and I'm super excited! I can definitely tell that President Walker loves me and is rewarding me.  

We are also opening up this area so right now the work is really really slow.  We are going through all of the former investigators trying to find the elect, or anyone who will listen to us for that matter.  We have 3 investigators right now and need lots more.  This week we're really going to focus on the members because members have friends who need the truth.  

So please pray for Sister Andersen and I to be able to find the elect.  I'm so excited for this opportunity and for a change!  This area is going to be awesome!  We're going to work so hard and find the elect.  Even though I was sad to leave the people that I love in the North East, I'm way excited to be here and get a fresh start!
 
Well, I love you all lots!  Have a fantastic week!  Pray for missionary opportunities! Remember who you are and act accordingly!

Love, Hermana Anderson
