So y'all called it, i'm staying here in the area for another transfer with Elder Woollard. I'm pretty excited about it. i think the worst part about transfers is waiting for the call to see if you're staying or leaving because you have no clue what is going to happen. so yeah we got the call last night saying we were both staying which is awesome because we really think that we have lots going on in this area and that we will hopefully be able to get at least 3 baptisms this next transfer. at least that is a goal that Elder Woollard and i have set so we will see what happens.

We had dinner over at our bishops house last night and he was telling us about how good of a job we are doing and that we have the wards trust which is key when it comes to missionary work, cuz if you dont have their trust then you can kiss any referrals good bye. i was happy to hear him say that.

so there is this less active family that moved here 4 years ago from utah and we went over to visit them last week and invited them to come to church, it was really neat to see them show up at church on sunday because the members hadn't seen them in a long while but anyways they have a son who is almost 11 that we are going to start teaching, they seem like they are wanting to be commited in coming to church now so hope good things will come of it! :)

Leila Paula's baptism was going to be May 1st but her Uncle is going to be gone so they're pushing it back to mothers day so i dont know what time i'll call, ethier in the morning or later evening. i guess we'll wait and see what happens. but her older brother Steve who is 16 and just becoming active again is the one who is going to baptize her now so their mom is excited.

but yeah everything in the area has been going pretty well and we are doing great, especially since Elder Woollard FINALLY got his bike! lol i can feel myself losing weight already! lol NOT!! but hopefully soon. riding in this higher elevation can kill ya! ha no joke, but it will be good when i get back because i'll be used to this elevation and i'll be able to go for miles back home! anyways so he got his bike on friday and we put it together and so we got to ride up until yesterday we were on our way to dinner and he ran over a piece of glass and it popped! lol so we pushed the bikes the rest of the way but we are going to get it fixed later today hopefully. so yeah that was our week! :)

speaking of phone calls only like not too long 'til i get to call home! :) sweet!! it feels like i just called home though. would you be mad if i didn't call home this time? lol NOT!!!! i wouldn't pass that up for anything... but it sounds like y'all are keeping really busy still, i hope ya find time to relax... thanks again for the letters and things you send to me i love hearing from you all so much and i apologize if i dont respond right away i do my best! i hope the rest of the week goes well for you all and i cant wait to hear back! i miss you and love you bunches! :)

love Elder Anderson
