Hey Everyone, This week has been filled with a lot of finding activities. We have been going tracting and going through our former investigators. We have had little sucess but we are still going strong. On Thursday, we went tracting in Kanawha City. We talked with a lady for about thirty minutes. She had a lot of questions about our church. People out here still believe that Mormons are polygamists, we have horns, and magical underwear. It is so funny to hear all the things that people think of us. A lot of people are really stubburn and don't believe us when we tell them that that stuff isn't true. Nothing really exciting happen this week it was just really slow and a lot of walking. Transfers are on Wednesday and I am being put into a tripod in Charleston. Elder Johnson and Elder Dahl will be my new companions. It is going to be really interesting to see how this all works out. We are going to be packed into our apartment for six weeks. Elder Hofheins is going to Mannington to Greenybreak Elder Raveria. He should have a great time with that one. Other then that there is really nothing new here. Still working really hard. Yesterday, Elder Hofheins, Brother Barker (our ward mission leader) and I went and demolished a deck. The wood was so soggy and moldy and it was really hard to pull the boards up, but we finally got it done after two hours. I was really tired afterward. Then that night we went up the the Belchers and they have four young kids that are all ADD. I was giving piggyback rides with three kids on at once, throwing kids on the couch, and trying to play cars with the little kid while the rest were climbing all over me. I came home last night and hit my pillow and I was out. I was so tired! The baptism that we had planned for sunday didn't go through. Olivia is still in Missouri somewhere and we have no way of getting into contact with her. Hopfully she will come back soon and have a desire to get baptized as soon as possible. Everything is going great here in Charleston. Thanks so much for the support at home. I love you all so much. Love, Elder Anderson

This is Ian's lovely little house!

Hello Everyone, Sorry this week is going to be a really short letter. We had Zone P-day today and it ran longer then planned. This week has been really busy, as usual. It seems like we are always running to get to our next appointment. General Confrence was amazing!! I really loved Elder Holland's talk on the Atonement. It really helped me understand more fully what the Saviour endured for me. I am so glad that we don't have to walk this path alone. Luckily we have our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ that love us and want us to succed. This Sunday, we had another amazing lesson with Adrienne. She is still searching for her answer, but I know that if she keeps praying and studing that God will give her an answer. It has been and amazing experience to see her excitment about the gospel, and she has already started appling the principles into her life. She is going to be an amazing member. We were on exchanges yesterday. Me and Elder Yount went tracting in the rain all day. It was really long and wet, but we did get some follow-up appointments. It is so much fun to be able to meet new people and discuss the gospel with them. Even if it is pouring and they won't let us in. For Zone P-day we went down to Gulley Bridge, which is the biggest arch bridge in the western hemishere. It was amazing!!! Unfortunatley, it snowed today and was super cold. We went hiking and found a great place to take pictures of the bridge. Then we went to a park and had sandwiches and a testimony meeting. It is always good to hear other peoples testimonies. Love, Elder Anderson
