Just another week en la vida

I don`t have a whole bunch to say from this week. We had companion
exchanges again, this time with the sisters in Lazaro Cardenas. The
drive was pretty long, but absolutely beautiful. We even passed by the
beach for like, 2 seconds. I love meeting all these sisters and seeing
all the different places in the mission. I feel so blessed to be here,
and I know without a doubt this is exactly where I need to be.
My companions are still absolutely incredible and I really don`t want
this transfer to end because Hermana Moncada will be finishing her
mission and going home :( Soooo we`re making the best of this time we
have together, and truly it has been some of the best times of my
life.
Exciting news from this week, our investigator Erik recieved
permission to be baptized!!! He`s been actively going to church
everyweek for some time now, and he even goes to Seminary everyday,
we`ve just been waiting for permission from his parents to be
baptized. While he was at EFY this last week, our bishop talked with
his parents, and after lots of prayers, they finally said yes.
We have one family that we are teaching right now that is absolutely
perfect. They have such a strong desire to do what`s right and are
quickly progressing toward their baptism. The father was an extreme
alcoholic, but since our Word of Wisdom lesson, he hasn`t taken a sip.
It`s only through the Atonement of Christ we can overcome these
obstacles, whether physical or spiritual, to return to our Father in
Heaven. We will be have a Family Home Evening with them and another
family from the ward tonight and I`m super excited! My favorite part
of the mission is seeing this change in people, poco a poco, as they
have this change of heart and come unto Christ.
I LOVE THESE PEOPLE SO MUCH AND LA VIDA MISIONAL ES LO MEJOR!
Thanks for all your support and love. I don`t think I`d ever be able
to do this work without it. You all inspire me y te amo mucho.
Con todo mi amor,
Hermana Anderson
