How Great Shall Be My Joy!

How Great Shall Be My Joy!
Sara at the Provo Temple

Sister Sara in Salt Lake City

Sara entered the MTC on Wednesday, February 3, 2010. Her wonderful friends, Kelsey and Katie, took her to the MTC and "dropped her off at the curb" after their goodbyes. Thanks for helping my girl out.



Soon, two young elders came out to take Sara's luggage and Sara walked into the MTC with "calm and confidence" as Katie put it. Kelsey took some great pictures and promptly sent them to us. Katie gave me a call and said all was well.



So, for the next 18 months, we will follow Sara and her "LIFE BEHIND THE TAG."

BACK TO WHERE I STARTED! hahaha. I am back in my FIRST area. Mt Olympus, Mt olympus N, and Olympus Stake. But this time I dont have the Chinese and Russian program. Sad. But its weird that I'm back where it all begain. And things have down sized. When I covered this area we had 23 wards now its 19.

We have had tons of changes in the mission. We only have 9 zones instead of 11 and they are all renamed. Now I am in the East Zone, not Millcreek. So east zone is most of Millcreek zone and part of Parley. So some of my old zone is still with me! Its pretty cool. Another thing that has changed, we are only allowed to go to the temple once a month. There are other things too but those are the biggest.

My new comp is Sister Drew from Canada! I'm excited! She has been out for like 2 transfers less then me. She cant have gluten so we don’t eat with members. So we will always come home and eat. Glad I know how to cook. haha.


For some reason we had to switch cars with a set of elders. Man are elders gross. haha. We spent an hour cleaning the car after we got it. hahaha. But I'm glad we have a car and sad we hah to give up our old one because that was my first car of my mission so that would have been fun to have back.


Our Christmas Devo is this Saturday! I am soooo excited for it! Elder Hinkley is coming to speak! Speaking of Christmas, I don’t know what’s going on with the call. I am guessing I will call you to set up a time so if you get a call from an 801 number be sure to pick up.

Back to the Columbus Branch. The Christmas party was this past Saturday. It was great. Spicy food! It was good. They told the Nativity story in Karen. It was interesting to see how they acted it out. Nyay Meh and Masha's baptism was after that and it was wonderful! Well, Nyay Meh had to do it 4 times but it got done. The man that did it, Han Soe Win ( who is in his mid 30's), it was his first time baptizing someone so it was very exciting to see. He did a wonderful job. So we went to Mudoh's house last night for dinner and it was great! I just love her family soooo much! I told them they cant move so I can visit them after my mission!

Guess who comes this Saturday! Nate, Kennzie, and Kenna!! Woot Woot. I'm excited to see them.

Other things that I have opened is cookie mix, which I gave to a RC when we did an FHE with them. Ornaments, which I gave to MAsha. I think I told you that already. Um sticky notes! eye shadow. floss, which I gave to sis Morris b/c she just ran out of hers the day before. A bracelet. Thanks for sending those! It is fun to open something everyday!

Thanks for all you do! Love you tons. Love, Sister Anderson

P.s. Do you know how Tyler M, Spence A, and Tyler F are doing?
