Life

Well this week... was a week. That's for sure. Things have been a little rough for us down here in 楠梓。 The hearts of the people are getting hard. But our faith is not lacking! We did have a few pretty cool tracting miracles! Last Monday we went tracting and it was the last door of the street (of course) and a 14 year old boy answered and we started talking to him and teaching about the Book of Mormon. Then his mom had to take his sister to cram school and as she was coming to the door we got a little nervous because usually parents just ruin everything when it comes to teaching. But she was totally cool about it. We talked to her for a bit too and she was really nice! We set up another time that we can come visit them so that was a great miracle! 

We have been working very hard but to little avail. No matter, we are still inviting people to come unto Christ. As you all know, us missionaries have a purpose that is stated in Preach My Gospel. I love how it uses the word 'invite'. It's not an easy way out saying that everytime you see someone you just say "Hey come to church! Yeah!! Church is good!" no. It's doing all you can to help them come unto Christ and you invite them to learn more. Then it is all in their hands. 

We had stake conference yesterday and that was awesome. There were 3 members of the seventy there because President Teh was there :) awesome. Talked a lot about loving the Savior and looking towards the future. Super great

Low on time. sorry mom

This week I have been listening to a lot of this past conference. Between this and stake conference I just really felt the spirit and I felt so grateful that we have the restored priesthood on the earth today and that we have a loving and living prophet guiding and directing us today.

I really liked Elder Uceda's talk about how he prayed with his lips in the morning but after his story he prayed with his heart. How many of us just pray with our lips as we go about living? I'd say the answer is too many of us. Praying with your heart is a lot like putting mayo on a hot dog for the first time. It's a game changer and you will never want to go back to your old ways. 

Well I gotta go but I hope you all will be ambitious for Christ by Lighting the World this Christmas season!! 

I love you all!

Love

Elder Anderson
