Hermana Kirsten Anderson: I´ll Go Where You Want Me To Go, Dear Lord

Well, the big news of the week is I´m in a new area called Prados
Verde...it´s in Morelia. And i will be in a 3-some with the Sister
Training Leaders. My first 12 weeks of training are over, but I have a
feeling I will be learning even more from these wonderful Hermanas. I
was so amazed by the fact that yesterday at 10:30 pm we recieved a
call from our District Leaders, and less than 6 hours later I´m living
in a completely different place. I´m learning to trust in the Lord
more and more everyday, and I´m learning what it really means to say,
I´ll go where you want me to go. Honestly, I´m sad I didn´t have the
chance to really say goodbye to all the people in Moroleón I´ve come
to love, but now this is where the Lord needs me.
My new compañeras are Hermana Moncada y Hermana Campbell. Today
Hermana Campbell is in divisions with some other hermanas, so I got to
spend the day with Hermana Moncada. This is her last transfer of her
mission, and I feel really blessed to be able to spend these last six
weeks with her. Today we went shopping in this Market place, and
bought some Mexican Milkshake things called Esquimos that are amazing,
and we ate some tacos too, and I aready love this area so much. We
have a cute little apartment and I can´t wait to start working in this
area.
This last week we had an amazingly spiritual experience as we taught
Family Valazquez. We encountered this family in the Church this last
Sunday when they came with some member friends. (This is why members
are SOOOO important in missionary work) We quickly set an appointment
to visit them during this last week. During our lesson, we reconized
that they have truly been prepared by God to hear this message. As we
explained things about the Restoration, The Plan of Salvation, and The
Principles and Ordanances of the Gospel, they understood everything
and asked question like, ¨How can we have this feeling of peace, The
Holy Ghost, with us always¨ and ,¨What do we need to do to live with
God and our family forever¨... needless to say, they accepted a
baptismal date, and while I can´t be there to see their progression,
I´m sure they´re going to be amazing, faithful members of the Church.
Not much else exciting happened this week. There was, for whatever
reason, some fireworks on the 4th of July and that made my day, and I
ate a cupecake to celebrate Steinar´s birthday today. And well, it
rained a lot. But yeah it was a wonderful week and now I have a camera
that works so I´ll send some pictures in another email!
And last thing, I just want to share my testimony that while the
church may be attacked, while our morals and values may not be
popular, I know that this Church is true, that we are doing what is
pleasing to God and we need to always be willing to do His will. This
church is lead by a living Prophet of God, and I know with my whole
heart and soul that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in
truly the Church of Christ, and if we do what we know we should, we
will never wander in darkness.
I love you all!
Hermana Anderson
