Before I forget. There are some of our investigators that know people in VA so do you think you could find out the name of the Karen investigators in VA. Plus I have a DVD from the branch of some of the people in the branch bearing their testimonies so I got a extra copy and I will mail it to you so you can have the Karen investigators over to your house and watch it! It would be great! Also, If you could find my baptism picture and make a copy of it and mail it to me that would be great!

The Book of Mormon reading is going great! I love it! Its so nice to set aside 30 min to read it and its way cool that we are going to get it done by Dec. 31!!! I am getting so much out of it!

So Nabila has had a few baptism dates and it has never gone through. So we called her and tried to stop by many times and nothing has been happening. So we have not been able talk to her. Anyway so we had to drop her and then last night she called US! and goes so when can we do this. I was like, do what? Come over to your house? She goes no get baptized. I was like Well we can do it this weekend!!!!!! Then she explained to us how ready and excited she was. Wow. She had her interview tonight!!! We were not going to have any baptisms this week because its stake conference but the Stake pres said that if we find someone that is ready then we can do the baptism and get them confirmed that day. It’s very exciting!

There was a family that came to church last week and so we took them to Temple square that night. Then this past Sunday the 18 year old boy was in priesthood and there was another boy getting the priesthood so Poe, our investigator, asked if he could join in the circle and so they explained why he couldn’t. Then they were talking about missions and Poe said he wanted to go on one! Golden! He is getting baptized on October 26!!! We are teaching his whole family now. Very Exciting!!! He now has a preach my gospel!!! He is so solid.

We have 5 people getting baptized on the 26th of October. No one wants to get baptized on the 30th. Even though they all will still be confirmed on the 31st. Paw Law, Mu Doh, Hay Soe, Nying San, and Prey Meh are all getting baptized. 4 Karen people and 1 Kareni.

We are having a mission tour. On Tuesday or Wednesday. A mission tour, in case you don’t know b/c I didn’t until yesterday, is when a new 70 member is called and so to "practice" they come and train us. So I am super excited about it.

Thanks for everything! Love you all. Love, Sister Anderson
