Week 6 in the MTC!

Hola Familia
Well this was another great week in the MTC! Like I said all the days blend together and so you never know what day it is or anything. It’s amazing how fast a mission goes! It’s been 6 weeks already and it has flown by and all I do everyday is sit in the same classroom for 15 hours a day! It’s crazy! Can’t imagine how fast it will go once I really get to work in the field! Wow it will fly! But it’s all good!

I don’t know how much I will be able to write in letters today because we got transferred for some reason and had to move to a different building, so most of my time has been spent moving and helping my zone get all moved and settled in.
My zone is awesome and I’m grateful for this opportunity to be zone leader! I need to lead my zone and these elders to be the best we can be! I know the lord will work through me to make this zone better.

Mom yes I did get your package and I loved all the info about Chile! I can’t wait till I get down there! It will be so amazing to help all the people and let them see how much the gospel can impact there lives!

I had the coolest experience the other week at the Temple on walk on Sunday! This random native guy came up to me and asked if he could take a picture with us and so after I was talking to him and found out that he was a convert from Venezuela. We were talking and than we started talking in Spanish and I told him my Spanish is not very good and he looked at me and said Elder Anderson I know the gift of tongues is real. I have seen so many Elders come to my country and be blessed to speak the language. He said more but I’ll write it in a letter. Than we kept talking and he said Elder Anderson I love you, thank you so much for the decision you made to go on a mission. It’s because of you that so many lives will be blessed. Ten years ago a man like you came to my house and taught me about this gospel and blessed my life forever! I love you Elder! Give it all you got! It was the coolest thing ever! He was so so smooth!

I loved him!

I love you all so much! I have another promise I want to make to you and to everyone else...

"When I'm wet from the rain, when I’m cold from the chill of the night. When I’m tired from a long day, when I’m worn out, when my muscles are aching from walking around and working all day, when I've been pushed around, spit upon, laughed at , and rejected, when my mind is telling me I’m a failure, that I’m wasting my time. I wont give in. Never give up. Never back down. Buck up! I will dig down deep and find something deep down inside that I can give more. I will do whatever it takes to find those people in Chile that I have promised I would find and bring them back to Christ! "

Wow I can’t wait to get down there and just get to work! 2 weeks and I’ll be off and running!

Thank you all so much for all your support and love. It means so much to me you have no idea. All the support I get has carried me through these first couple months. 6 weeks down 98 more to go. Wow it goes fast and slow! ha Well I love you all so much.

Keep working hard and read your scriptures.
I love you Dad Mom Ashley Tyler Steven Brooke Kirsten .... I love you all!
Love,
Elder Anderson
