Elder Berghoff and Sister Anderson

Hey how is everyone?  The mtc has fireside on Sundays and devotionals on Tuesday.  The missionaries here are waiting for the Prophet or an apostle to come.  They are so funny because we wait outside the door and people yell like they have seen the Prophet but not really.  The language is still tough but it will come with practice.

We had a TRC last Thursday and each time we get better with our Tagalog and our teaching skills.  We taught the second lesson last Thursday which was really good.  Both of our favorite scriptures worked into the lesson which was really cool.  I can see a change in the way that we teach when we follow the promptings of the Holy Ghost.

I saw Elder Berghoff the other day and we took a picture together and I also saw Elder Brown and Elder Egbert.  It is so weird to see people from our stake here but also a good thing.  It doesn't feel like it has been almost a month.  I love the feeling that I get here and maybe I maybe I will never come home!!!!Just joking mom!!!!!:):)

We received two more sisters that are going to the Philippines in our room and two others who are going state side but it so much fun to have 6 girls in the room.  We don't always get to bed on time because of telling stories and talking but we surely get up on time.

Every morning I wake up and go straight to the window because I am praying for snow.  But everyone else in our room is praying for no snow.  I just want it to snow just at least once while we are here.

We have met a lot of people from all around the world.  The other day we saw the first Sister Missionary from Jordan.  She told us of her conversion story.  I love hearing about stories of how people joined the church.

Love Sister Anderson
