WORK

I can not believe it's already Monday again! What is time? And another transfer gone. This is a 5 week transfer because President Badger has to go to a Mission President Training. So next Transfer will be 7 weeks. Not really a difference since we’re training, we will still have the 12 weeks unless one of us gets transferred this week but I doubt it.

This week was so busy and cold and wet! Tuesday it was our walking day and it was dumping down rain all day, but luckily they changed the walking day because it was raining so hard. But we still had to bike a little bit because we’re still in a car share. We also had a MIRACLE happen that day! We went to our lesson with Rosie and we got Scott Brough to come with us, he is a priest in the Ward who is thinking about going on a mission after a year in the army. I think it was great for him to come out with us and have an awesome lesson. We taught her the Word of Wisdom, and she was super excited to hear that because her Doctors had already told her to get off those things for her health! So that was one MIRACLE, then she was talking about all her nephews that she pretty much had to raise because their mom was never around. And she went into detail on one for some reason. But we soon found out that it was the spirit that led her to do it. Because she talked about one of her nephews who loves to cook and works at Red Robin and I asked, is his name Cameron? And she jumped out of her seat saying "You know Cameron Harris!?!" And I said ya we just went and ate at Red Robin a couple of nights ago and met him because he was super close to being baptized about a year ago, he even signed the Baptism sheet! So we told her we were meeting with him on Friday and she said she wanted to come and surprise him! So she did and he was so shocked and knew it was a blessing from the Lord! He is the NICEST guy ever too, just super chill and awesome! We’re so excited for them!

On Wednesday me and my Boy had to go to Iowa City for the Trainer Trainee meeting, that was fun. It was a great meeting and I got to get some WHITEYS! SO good! That night we had an awesome lesson with Alexis and David, David is now a new investigator! They’re so cool, but they didn't come to church yesterday. Not sure why but we will be meeting with them this week.  

Thursday we had Zone Conference, it was great! Learned a lot about being very bold and confident in everything we do. Like with Finding, Planning, and setting dates, and striving for stronger faith with all of those. After that we all went to Texas Roadhouse which was a lot of fun!

Friday morning is when we had breakfast with Cameron and Rosie and got to know Cameron. That was awesome too. HE even said he knows our Church is the true Church on earth, he now needs to be Baptized!! haha Also did a lot of finding and going by people this day. And had a super good Dinner with Sis Thornbloom, a super cool old lady who had all 4 of us over!

Then on Saturday we got to play Basketball in the morning with the stake, and a ton of non members that come out. And for this one African American family they come and just dunk on everyone! lol not me tho! But it is so much fun playing there! After that we went to the other Elders Baptism and it went great. Elder York and I got to teach the Restoration there. Then after that we got on the Bikes and started heading to an appointment and that was a long ride in the rain. We were completely soaked and covered in sand, just to find out he wasn't home. But we still met some cool people! And we had an adventure riding through a trail in the forest and I found the largest waterfall in Iowa, I’ll send pics! Overall it was an awesome week, stayed super busy, so that's super good! I love it when we are just going non stop! I Know this work is true!!

Love, Elder Anderson

Iowa’s Largest Waterfall! haha
