Ahhh yeah we are leaving for Taiwan tomorrow morning!!! I
cannot wait! We were a little nervous because earlier this week we got an email
saying we had been reassigned to the California San Fernando mission because we
did not get our visas. But we checked on it today and they said we have our
visas and we are leaving tomorrow!! Yay!!! We fly from Salt Lake to Seattle,
Seattle to Tokyo, and Tokyo to Taipei. Soooo excited!!
Wow this week was just awesome. We knew it was going to be a
good one because of Monday night. Every Monday we Skype with members in Taiwan
and teach them a lesson. So we called our person and our camera wasn't working.
We said, "Hello?" And then in the most Asian, english accent you can
possibly imagine we heard (and our volume was so high), "Oh no!!! I cannot
see you through the Skype (they pronounce 'Skype' 'Skypey')!!! The camera!! It
no work!!!!" Oh my it was possibly the funniest thing I have hear in my
whole life!!! So great!!
Conference this weekend was just awesome. Besides the fact
we had to sit in very uncomfortable chairs the whole time, it was great! I
really loved they talk about What Lack I Yet? It really hit me hard because I
decided I needed to ask the Lord that. Especially with being a missionary and
heading out to the field. It will help me so much. So I would invite you all to
ask the same question in your prayers tonight. If you ask with sincerely, you
will receive an answer and it will be exactly what you need!
Then to cap the whole week off, we had Vocal Point come and
sing to us for our Sunday night devotional. Wow they are just amazing. I loved
it so much!! They are so good and when they sing Nearer My God to Thee, wow. I
felt the spirit so much when they all bore their testimonies. They kept saying
that we as missionaries have power. I just felt the spirit hit me so hard. Then
on Tuesday, Elder Costa (the one that spoke this weekend) told us that we are
his heroes and I just felt the spirit again there. Missionary work is just the
greatest. I love it.
I cannot wait to get to Taiwan and try to talk with them and
share this glorious gospel.
I love you all so much and thank you for all of your help
throughout my life.
Love Elder Anderson
