Fyi

Last P day we got a call from President Badger and he told us a missionary in the Waterloo zone is going home early and that we needed to take him to the airport! So we picked him up and drove all the way to the Des Moines airport. But first we stopped at Chick-fil-a and there was a member that was leaving right as we walked in and she payed for all of us! Then there was another member there that day by us and she asked us all to tell our conversion stories. Then the elder that was going home asked her to tell hers and she did. It was really really cool and she has been going through a hard time since her husband fell off a ladder and has brain damage and is not the same person anymore and he left the church. She has 5 boys and was traveling home after watching conference with a friend. Afterwards she told us she loves missionaries so much and she said "keep going, keep going!" That was straight from God for the elder that was going home. Then he asked for her name and she said it and her last name was Duty and she said, like do your duty! So it was all perfect for the elder that was going home, we hoped he would change his mind but he did not.

We also had a miracle with a solid member referral and we brought the perfect member for him. We had an amazing lesson but then he called the next morning saying he wasn't interested. Big bummer because he was awesome and really needs this Gospel.

Also met with our part member family that is awesome! The rodriguez's and the mom set her own baptismal date for December 1st! She is awesome and their kids are awesome! She had a baby about a month ago and so did their fellowshippers so it's awesome. We are gonna have another lesson with them and the Parkinson's their fellowshippers. BRO Parkinson blessed his baby yesterday and Bro Rodriguez was there to watch, he is excited to bless his kids too!

Other than that we had 2 great exchanges and 3 great district meetings!

Love you all,

Elder Anderson
