The Lord is hastening His work

Well, it was an absolute joy to see your beautiful faces and talk to you! Next time I see you will be in the airport...I can´t believe that. I still feel like I just got here, and I feel like I´ve got a whole lot more to do before I can even think about coming home. This last week was super motivating. Between leadership council, the family skype call, and our super mega ultra zone meeting, I´m ready to work. This work is SO amazing, and the Lord is hastening His work, now it´s just up to us to keep up. Yesterday we had our zone meeting with all the missionaries, ward councils, high council men, bishops, mission leaders, and future missionaries. We talked and set goals of how we are going to work together. Now there´s not just 4 missionaries here in Prados Verdes...there´s 124. The goal is 50 or more lessons a week and 20 investigators attending church every week. So will have our hands full for sure. But I´m super pumped. 

Also, yesterday was my companion´s birthday! In the morning before church, one of our investigator families invited us to breakfast. Mexicans are really weird cause they don´t eat waffles or french toast here. Instead it´s usually normal dinner-like food. So we all sat down to eat, and it was a red soup with pieces of meat in it. I wasn´t really sure what kind of meat it was, but I´ve learned it´s better not to ask until after. My companion on the other hand couldn´t wait. Luckily I was already half-way done when my companion asked. To our surprise, it was cow´s stomach...yum. It was a miracle that I finished it all. But the good news is that this family went to church with us after. It was their first time and they said they loved it. We also ate cake and I decorated the house a little to celebrate Hna. Vargas´ birthday. And today we kept the celebration going. We went to the center part of the city and did a little shopping, ate ice cream, and enjoyed our P-Day. We went to this cool market place called el mercado de los dulces. Wow. It´s nearly all hand-made traditional Mexican stuff. Dolls, clothes, shoes, candy, guitars and everything else you could possibly imagine. I couldn´t take any pics cause there´s a ton of people and if ya whip out your camera, it gets stolen, but just trust me, it´s super cool. 

Other than that, everything´s goin´ good. We´re just making the best of every second and trying to do what the Lord asks of us. 

Thanks for all your support and love, honestly, it makes a huge difference. I love you all and you´re always in my prayers.

Cuidense,

Hermana Anderson

Hna Vargas miraculously fixed our fan using an iron, a knife, tape, and an eye-lash curler. Don´t ask me how.

Here´s a pic of Hna Vargas and I rockin´ our matching outfits.  

Mango season! When we don´t eat cow´s stomach for breakfast, it´s almost always mangos :)
