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."

I so called Kelsey going to TS!!!! I am sooo excited for her!!!! But I’m sad I will have to wait until march till I get to see her!!! Maybe she will do her outbound in my mission! I guess that would not really be an out bound though. haha. Oh the TS sisters go on "out bound" for a few transfers so they don’t always have to be on Temple Square.

Before I forget can I get Andrew's cell #. Our Ward mission leader and another WML in another ward speak Tagalog and so I want them to call Andrew so he does not forget his language

The baptism went great! Started on time and Pres and Sister Winn both came.

There is a family getting baptized at the end of November. They have only been in the US for about a month. They speak many languages so we gave them the gospel principles book to them in Burmese (b/c that’s about the only books we have to give anyone for this program) Anyway, that mom already read the book once all the way through and is on it again for the second time. We took them to Temple Square last week and they loved it and then this past Sunday was all on temples b/c the first Karen Family (who we "live" with) went to the temple last week. They loved that Sunday and said they wanted to go to the temple. Our standard of excellence in the mission is to have 3 people on date for baptism each week. Sunday night we still had 0 but we knew it was possible. I said a prayer to myself saying that our next lesson, which was the stop smoking lesson, needed to fall through so we could have time to find someone. The Lord went through and the lesson ended up not happening so we went across the street and went to Myat's house and ended up putting his family on date for baptism, all 3 of them! At 8:35 Sunday night a way was provided for us to meet our goal! Amazing. They are just such an awesome family.

I finally got a Karen bag!!!!! Its green! We got it at one of our dinner appointments. Funny story about that. So It was Friday night and we had only had one dinner appointment that week and so our WML bought us litter ceasers pizza and so we went on the house to eat it but the Karen family said they had extra food so we ate with them then they got a call saying that we were supposed to be at another persons house so we jumped in the car and went to the dinner appointment we got there and there was little ceasers pizza. hahaaha. but then we got a Karen bag so it was great!

Love you all thanks for everything! Love Sister Anderson
