Just Casually Saying Hi To Neil L Anderson

Hey hey just another week loving being a missionary! It's honestly such a privledge to serve as an instrument in the Lords hands. No place I'd rather be than our almost square mile. 

My favorite senior couple left this week which is so sad. On Sunday night we had a party at their apartment and it felt like a college party but with youth album songs of course haha. Sad to see them go but also so excited to get closer to the new senior couples in the mission.

I feel like I don't talk about my companion enough. She's from Upstate New York (utika) and reps the Dominican Republic flag because that's where her parents are from. She's seriously one of the funniest people I've ever met and I'm constantly laughing when she's around. Sis Mendez is an angel and has made this last month fly by. We may or may not stay up past 10:30 talking every night.

Honestly too many cool experiences this week to write here but there are pics in my photo album with a little explanation of each.

Our apartment building is officially set to "winter mode" so its constantly 77⁰ in our apartment. Not too fun to come home in the middle of a sunny day to a hot apartment but we could be in a third world country so counting our blessings.

Favorite conference talk of the week: "Have I Really Been Forgiven" by K. Brett Nattress

D&C 78:18 
"And ye cannot bear all things now; nevertheless, be of good cheer, for I will lead you along. The kingdom is yours and the blessings thereof are yours, and the riches of eternity are yours."

First and Last Member Meal

Image
Happy Thanksgiving!! Thanksgiving, p day and our only member meal of the mission all in 1 day, sorry if I don't respond.  There's nothing Utahns dislike more than California. Everyday this week I've had someone go on a rant about how much they don't like CA. I might start telling people I'm from AZ or something just to avoid the shade being thrown. Jk I'll always claim Orange County. They all make a point to say how much they like Disney and Newport though.  The Christmas lights turn on tomorrow! I think we are more excited about that than we are actual Christmas. This also means that our schedule changes  from 6:30-10:30   to   7:30-11:30.   But church and relief society still   start at 7:45  on Sundays and Wednesdays so pray for us and our lack of sleep. I'm gonna be honest Thanksgiving is probably my least favorite holiday. I don't eat a ton of food, I'm not a fan of pie, stuffing or yams but I love the attitude of being grateful. Gratitu...
