Hello Everyone, This week has been amazing. We are finally starting to has success with our investigators. Audrey (the 13 year old girl) is going to be baptized on March 22nd. She has been interviewed and is so excited to be baptized and receive the Holy Ghost. It has been really fun to sit down with her and talk to her about what is going to happen after she is baptized. It has been amazing to watch her testimony grow just in the last few weeks. Also, Olivia (the lady from Colorado) has a baptism date on April 19th, but we are trying to get her to move it up. She has already been through the dicussions and really remembers everything really well. We sat down with her yesterday and ran through a pre-baptism interview and she is ready. She is really excited to become a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. She has been to every sunday meeting since we found her. She is going to be an amazing addition to this ward. We have two new investigators that we found this week. One is a little nine year old. Her name is Tyonna and she is so smart and funny. She came to church with Audrey last week and she was asking so many questions. We sat down with her last night and went over the first lesson and she is just so excited about the gospel. It has really helped my testimony watching the joy that the gospel brings into peoples lives. Our other new investigator we found while we were tracting in Marmet. Her name is Nicky, she is about 25, and she has a job and a car!!!! We taught her the first lesson and the spirit was so strong. We asked her to read Moroni 10 and to pray if it is true. I am so excited to see her tomorrow and hear about her experience. It has been amazing to see the difference in myself since I have been on a mission. I remember the first day teaching Audrey and feeling like I didn't know anything. But as I have learned the power of prayer and spent as much time as I can in books, I have seen a huge change in what I have learned. I am really excited to share what I have learned with my brothers and sisters. The gospel has brought so much happiness into my life and it would be selfish of me not to share it with everyone I meet. Love, Elder Anderson
