Hello Everyone, This week has been amazing. We have been staying really busy out here in Peterstown. We taught 24 lessons this week! That is great for this mission. Prayer has been a huge part of our success. The Lord has truly blessed us in our efforts. We have a baptism coming up. Her name is Tara French. She has been investigating the church for about 6 months, and she is ready for baptism and the Holy Ghost. We went over and talked with her earlier in the week, and she is really excited. She has a boy that is ten years old so we are going to see if we can get him baptized on the same day. We got home last night and got a call on our phone from one of our investigators. He said that him and his wife have been reading from the Book of Mormon and that they are really interseted. That is so exciting to see someone wanting to learn more without us pushing them. I gave my first talk on my mission on Sunday. It was great because there was only 14 people there. I didn't have anything prepared so I had to stand and teach by the Spirit. Scary!! I think that it went really well. After Sacrament, a lady from the branch came up to me and told me something really strange. She said that the whole time I was talking there was a women standing behind me. She tryed to describe this women but I did recognize her. I guess that I have a gaurdian angel. The people out here still amaze me sometimes. We taught a family and none of them knew how to read. I can't believe that there are people in America who can not read. How would you do anything? We have been staying really busy serving the Lord. I love you!! Love, Elder Anderson
