Dear MOM and DAD,
Serina, Kyana, and Michael all
were baptized on the 28th and confirmed on the 29th. It was a really
good baptism and they had a lot of support there. She said before she got
in she was still feeling anxious and burdened and as she step into the
water she felt Heavenly Father take it all and then she was instantly
calm. She cried at both and she doesn't get emotional so it was really
neat to see the actual change in her countenance and her children we so
happy. They had their baptismal interviews this last week and the Elder
who interviewed Kyana said that at the end she said if she's not married
when she's 21 she wants to serve a mission because of Sister Dashjav
and I, I felt pretty special and it was a huge blessing and answer to my
prayer to get to teach such an amazing family!
We finally got our accounts approved for chat (my
companion and I) some sisters have had theirs for awhile but a bunch of us
had to wait. But we finally got it and Sister Dashjav and I got an
investigator on chat yesterday. It was really fun, in a live lesson you
can't talk about what your response will be and then scream
and holler when they accept an invitation (both of which we did
yesterday) and instead of it being my sentence and her sentence we have
one that includes both our thoughts and style of talking! It was a lot of
fun and when have a return appointment tonight.
Church was really good, even though the topics where
more for after the mission, I took lots of notes that I can look of
when I get home. I felt very "fed" after.
One
of the sisters at the VC found out her sister died yesterday so if you
could keep Sister Michelle Shurtz in your prayer I know that would
help.
I know that the atonement is real, I've seen it so
much on my mission in my life and in the lives of others. I know we have
a loving Heavenly Father who always does what is best for us (even when
I may not agree...lol). I know that everything Jesus Christ
did was for you, because He loves us. At the VC there is a mural on the
wall of the universe and one day I was sitting there wondering why it's
there, why did they paint that specific picture? Then the spirit told
me that everything that was created was created because of God's love
for you (that comes from Pres. Uchtdorf) and even though all that was
created is wonderful and amazing Christ is always focused on us just as
the statue is looking at us. I know that we are Heavenly Father, Jesus
Christ, and the Holy Ghost's main focus, so that we can return. I know
that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is Christ's chruch
restored in its fullness and I thank the Lord for parents who raised me
in it. THe Book of Mormon IS true and we DO have a living prophet.
I've been a slacker on encouraging the fam to create a mormon.org profile. Here's a link to mine http://mormon.org/me/5SQQ/Karmin/ and
I would love it if all of you would create one. This is one way the
Lord is moving His work forward and you will never know who you can
touch with your testimony.
Miss you much, Love you more.
I'm excited to see/hear you on Mother's Day!
Love Sister Anderson
