Hello Everyone, Everything is going wonderful here in the great state of West Virginia. This week was a strong testimony builder. I have been able to spend a lot of time in the scriptures and in preach my gospel. I truly believe that they are inspired books. They have helped me through many trials and I know that they will always help me. It has also been a humbling week. I thought that I knew the doctrine before I came out but I have come to find out that I still have a lot to learn. This week we finally got the ok from the bishop to get Audrey baptized. He was struggling with the decision because her parents are less active members and he didn't want her to be baptized into inactivity. But we got her mom to come to church this week and I think that is what made the bishop change his mind. Also, we have a new baptismal date for Olivia. We sat down and talked to her on Thursday and she said that she wanted some time to study and become familiar with the doctrine before she is bapized. We know from the begining that she was a dry mormon. Everyone at church thought that she was a less active member. On Saturday, we had the great opportunity to go the the baptism of Aimee Cobb. She has been taking lessons from the Zone Leaders for two weeks and wanted to get baptized as soon as possible. It was really exciting to hear about her and the changes that she was making in her life. Also another dry mormon. This Sunday was also and amazing day. We had two of our investigators there and we had some of the less active people that we have been working with. We had the Peters and the Massey's. The Peters were only there because their kids had a discplinary hearing. Oh, also we had Alicia Juncosa there to. She was a less active member that we were assigned to find. It was a great experience to find her. She was so happy and shocked to see us. She told us the reason that she wasn't coming to church was because she didn't feel worthy. We told her that that was the best time to come to church. So she decided that she needed to start coming again. This week the weather has been amazing. Early in the week it was nice and cool and then by the end it is up to 75 degrees, and it is so hot! We had to move our room into another room in our apartment because the only window the AC Unit would fit in was in this other room. So we moved everything this morning. We are working really hard. It seems like we are always on the go. I really like it like that because it helps the time just fly by. It seems like just yesterday when I got here, but here I am going into my second transfer. I am really happy that I have another six weeks in charleston. I love you all and miss you lots. Love, Elder Anderson
