I SAW YOU!!!! Twice!!!!!:) It was so cool to be able to see you!!! The choir was AMAZING as well!! So cool to be able to say my mom was singing!! And Janzen as well!! I wasn't expecting to see him and then all of the sudden he popped up!! haha! so cool:) Well, we went to Temple Square to watch it "Pavones" as it's called here. (Pavones is the metro stop) The sacrament meeting hall is in Spanish and a couple extra rooms for when that fills up and then they have it upstairs in English for the missionaries and the tourists. So we watched it in English until they announced the first guy who was going to speak in Spanish so me and Elder McFarland ran downstairs and watched him speak in Spanish 'cause we wanted to hear him actually speak. It was so cool!!!!! The "señor yo te seguiré" It was the one from the session you sang at!!! So you were listening to exactly what I was listening to. It was super cool to see him speak in Spanish!!! This conference was incredible!!!! My favorite talk was probably President Monson's in the Sunday morning session. After being out here for almost a year preaching the message that there are prophets on the earth today, I was able to sit back and listen to the man of whom I have been preaching is a prophet. We always talk as missionaries about how a prophet's main responsibility is to testify of Christ and that is exactly what he did. He truly is a Prophet of the Lord and I am so grateful to be a part of the Lord's true church. The weather is different here. But I'm liking it. It's chilly but then gets hot some days, but from what I've heard it just gets really cold all of the sudden. There is only really a winter and a summer here.
We went to Sol again last week with a bunch of missionaries!! We are trying to figure out other cool places to go. We did see the Real Madrid Stadium the other day. That was also pretty exciting! We are also back to drinking the piso water:) haha:)
Our investigators are doing really good. Miguel and Cristian both have fechas!!! for the 25th of october!!!!:) Cristian is a little iffy and we will continually work with him but with Miguel it is basically a for sure thing. He is doing incredible and had an amazing experience at conference. He is reading, praying, and just loving things. They are looking for a new house together and are talking about starting a family. I cannot begin to describe with words how amazing this experience with them has been. I have been a part of the change of someone's life and it means everything to me that the Lord has blessed me with this opportunity. I also went on an intercambio with Elder Cahoon again!!!!:) Man that was so much fun and just the coolest thing ever!! He is a stud and is the nicest kid on earth. We had so much fun together!!
It was an amazing week. As always. Despite my feeling bad about myself and not knowing if I'm enough. I love this work and will give my everything to it and I always will. Thanks for your support back home. I love you all so much!!! Thanks for everything mom. I love you!!!!
love,
Elder Anderson
