Week 21

Dear Everyone,

Transfers again! I'll be staying here in Rosamond but my companion is getting transferred. I'll find out who my new companion is tomorrow at transfer meeting. He's spent the last three weeks in the MTC so I'll be training a new missionary! Haha it's exciting but I'm nervous too. I'll do the best that I can and then Heavenly Father will help out where I lack. Time and time again I've seen missionaries and myself be put into situations that aren't comfortable at all, but when we lean on Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Spirit, we're helped in miraculous ways. In life we consistently have weight added onto our shoulders that we don't know if we can lift on our own and we cant, but if we could already do it then it wouldn't help us grow stronger.  When we ask, Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Spirit are here for us to help us just enough so we can carry that weight and get stronger. Something I've tried to do recently is to find joy in the little things. The simplest things can remind us that God is there and that He knows what we need just to keep us going. Sorry this email is short but my companion has to get back to the apartment to pack his things. I hope everyone has a great week this week! Thank you to everyone who has included me in their prayers and sent me emails or letters! I appreciate everything so much!

Love,

Elder Anderson
