Baby Boy Elder Anderson

Well, the pregnancy is over, and after 30 minutes of labor...I had a beautiful baby boy! Haha! So yeah! It’s been awesome! Training is so much fun! It’s even better when he is such a good missionary! I named him Elder Anderson by the way, not that I really had a choice, but yeah! He’s a healthy baby boy!

This was quite a week though. I literally felt like a taxi driver this past week! So, to start off our taxi business we drive to Richmond, which is about a 45 minute drive, to pick up an Elder that had flown in from the north. Drove back and virtually lost all of our time to work because it was a P-Day. Next day, we drove all the way back to Richmond to take the missionary that we picked up to a meeting. And then we drove and saw a couple of people, picked up another missionary, and then drove all the way to Langley to drop off Elder Slack. Drove back, and on the way, picked up another missionary, and drove him to the far side of Richmond so that he could catch a ferry. I may or may not have sped the whole way because we were going to be late for his ferry...Then we drove back, got dinner and had a lesson and then had a meeting.

The following day Elder Hall and I drove all the way to Richmond AGAIN! Picked up Elder Anderson and then drove all the way back.  So, now that we are actually back in our area, we could actually go work! Psych! We actually did weekly planning! So yes, weekly planning is when you plan for 3 hours straight nonstop for your following week! Well, I have only been here for 5 weeks, so I just crammed super hardcore for a week... So, now we can get to work!

We went and saw Sunny for Elder Andersons first ever appointment! Haha! Crazy Punjabi! He just cracks me up! Probably freaked him out but that’s about it! Then we taught some Muslim dude named Yaroon. Yeah...he got the hard stuff right from the get go.

Church was good! We met with Gus right after church! He’s getting off of smoking which is good! He’s so awesome!

Well, that’s about it. I drove all week almost. 3 days straight of driving!

God is good no matter what though! No matter how many times I got lost on my way to Richmond, it’s still good! Love you all!

Love
