Two Months already? Wow... That's crazy. I was thinking while I watched conference that there was no possible way it had alredy been 6 months since I started my Mission Papers... Time is going by so quickly!
I am doing fantastic! The fleas are mostly gone. I did get sick though this week and had to stay in for a day. I just got really dehydrated, so I need to drink more...
My new companion is....Well, her name is Sister Ackerman, and she is very different from Sister Hansen. That's about all I can say right now. We are adjusting...
I don't know who does the Transfer pictures, I tried looking around for someone with a camera, but I didn't see anyone, that's exciting that you got to see me though! Tell Eliza thanks for me. :)
We did get to watch conference! It was super lonely though, because we went to the church to watch it, and found out that at the church they broadcast it in Spanish, so we had to go sit all alone in the Relief Society room and be the only english- watchers. xD It was great though. I loved how they had a repetative theme of building your foundation on Christ. In every session they used Helaman 5:12 at least once. I also really wished we had been able to get some of our investigators to watch conference with us, because it taught ALL of the missionary lessons.... Probably my all time favorite for this conference was Neil L. Anderson's talk. I think every member in the world should print that, frame it and read it daily! It talked about how not just the Missionaries are serving missions right now. EVERYONE is a missionary. That means you guys too! As a Missionary my all time favorite things is when members call us and ask how they can help. When they ask who they can visit, or who they could teach. It's just great. I also REALLY loved President Uchtdorf's talk, but that's not a surprise, because I just love President Uchtdorf.... And Elder Porter's talk about being positive was pretty inspiring too.
I don't know what my 25 words would be... I'd have to think about it more. :|
Oh! I looked up the Africa pictures in the New Era, just so you know... that back of a white person's head was pretty exciting ;)
Happy Birthday. Since you didn't mention my card, I'm going to assume that it didn't arrive on time, but don't think I forgot it was your birthday (because I totally didn't.)
Remember Billy- the guy who wouldn't let his son get baptised. Well guess what? Now, on top of agreeing to let Devin get baptized, he has also started reading to Book of Mormon! MIRACLES! It made me so happy to hear that the other day. :) Many of the rest of our investigators are struggling right now, but I'm trying to stay positive and just let them know how much they are loved...
I'm really not focusing very well today, so I think I'm gonna end my letter here. I just want you all to know how much I love you. Even if you don't write me, I think about you every day, and I often tell people how amazing you are. Stay strong, and keep making righteous choices.
Love always,
Sister Sanders
