President, Elders LaFevre, Christensen, Barrer, Lowry, Gree, Bacera
and Sisters Nielsen & Anderson

 This week has been really good.  I have been doing really well about being more confident with the language and with teaching.  Guess what!!!!  We had a other Apostle come and talk with us last Tuesday!!  It was President Ballard - we need to become master communicators; to take care of our converts and to help them with the transition; to keep the message of the Restoration and about the Church simple, to treasure up the gospel because it is something really special; to be confident when teaching because we know about the gospel.

I am soooo excited to leave in ONE WEEK from today.  The Philippines started celebrating Christmas a long time ago because of course they don't have Thanksgiving.  So we have already started singing Christmas songs.

Be a bee not a fly.  Bees are more productive and put forth the same effort, but have better results.  Right now there are about 2300 missionaries in the MTC.

Flight plans -  11/15 SLC 4:50pm - 11/15 LAX 5:44pm
                      11/15 LAX 10:45pm - 11/17 Taiwan 5:30am (15/16 hour time difference)
                      11/17 Taiwan 9:30am - 11/17 Manila 11:45am
                      Then a 6 hour bus ride to Baguio

What a flight.  This experience has been the best thing that I could be doing right now.  My testimony has grown so much these past two months.  And I love sharing the gospel with others.

Tagalog is very fun to learn and I am learning to love it.

Love sister Anderson XOXOXOXOXOXOXOX:):):):)
