LETTER FROM MISSION HOME:

Dear Bro. & Sis. Anderson and family,

I am pleased to inform you that your son, Elder Miles Anderson has been called to serve as Zone Leader in the Taiwan Taichung Mission.

Only the most experienced, obedient and energetic Elders are called to be Zone Leaders. Zone Leaders not only must set an unwavering example, but also spend much of their time training and motivating other missionaries in their zone. He will supervise several districts and be a source of counsel and advice for the missionaries in his zone. I am confident your son will fulfill these duties with the utmost diligence.

Please continue to encourage your son to reach out in excellence as he serves the Lord in this new calling. You can be proud of him and his efforts. He is certainly living up to the trust the Lord has placed in him as he serves here in the Taiwan Taichung Mission.

LETTER FROM MILES:

Well what a week! Watching General Conference just never gets old! If only we could watch it every single month. That would be so awesome!!!

Ok so I literally have not done well at managing my email time so, sorry mom this will be pretty short as well.

This week we had interviews with President Teh and wow I sure do love him a lot. He is just so chill but he is so awesome. For part of my interview we talked about playing basketball haha. We talked a lot about the Prayer of Faith and I am so grateful for his guidance and wisdom!

We met a new investigator named Terry Yu. He is a character. Sure do love him though! He literally has no knowledge of God and Jesus Christ. He is one of the few that I have met in Taiwan that are like that. We have met with him twice and just yesterday we gave him a chapel tour and talked more about prayer. When we committed him to pray he said he will definitely do it because last time when we prayed with him he felt very peaceful and warm. That really taught me that even though we were in a good old McDonalds, we can feel the spirit wherever we are. We just really need to be willing to listen to him. I forgot who talked about it in conference... I think it was Elder Stevenson. I liked how he asked, Do we know that voice? One cool think I love about Chinese is that in the character for listen (聽）not only is there the radical for an ear, but the heart radical also shows up teaching us that we must listen with our hearts. So important!

Well I literally have no time because I still need to email President.

But we got transfers and I am going to the Tainan 1st ward to be with Elder Grisenti! He is super cool and he used to play baseball at Snow Canyon which means we played each other before! I am very excited but also very sad to leave Elder Potts and Fengyuan!!

Well gotta go

Love

Elder Anderson
