Emily! oh my gosh you look beautiful! I love your dress! Mom! Wow! way to go!! You are going to be more talented than i am by the time i get back. You are doing more hair right now than me. However, Hermana W askes me to do her hair all the time, but still!! How was Sweathearts Em?? That is your boyfriend right? Is he your boyfriend? ah. weird. I dont know if i like this.... ha ha 

Happy V-Day
it's a little late, I know

I cant believe that i have officially finished my training. I am kinda sad actually. We have cambios next Monday. I dont want to leave, and i also dont want Hermana Wiggenhauser to leave! I know that the plan of God is perfect, but that doesn´t mean it is easy...

Mi compañera y yo! I am super sad we are probably going to be seperated on monday! :(

This week has been great! Our goal is to have every single lesson with a member. It is harder than it seems, not to mention we didn´t have any more minutes on our phone, so we had no way of contacting them unless we walked to there house and hoped they were home. However, we prayed and prayed for more faith and the ability to complete our goal. If Heavenly Father wants it, we will do it! We had forty lessons this week and only one of them was without a member! 1 Nefi 3:7 is real. Heavenly Father has a plan for us, and he has prepared a way to accomplish it. We need to go and do!

My super cute *cough cough* Feet getting Tan in México!  Bleh!

José de Jesus is a great little man! His prayers are the most sincere prayers i have ever heard. He said that he knows that we are here to save him. He calls us his Hermanitas or My little sisters. He is so funny! He only smokes 15 a day now! big accomplishment! He told us that his neighbors are Mormon. (We know them, and have been trying to work with them, but they just dont have any desire to come to church or listen to us.) Anyway, he told us that he asked them one day if they were mormon why he never sees them at church. He comes to church with us every week. He doesnt understand. That breaks my heart! People notice! They are always watching even when we dont know. We need to always be an example everywhere and with everyone. You never know who God has put in our paths for us! 

papa de José Guadalupe! He is super cute!

We have a date for José this saturday for baptism! However, he finally admitted that he first came to church for Hermana W. We knew this, but the fact that he admitted it is, well, interesting. The good news is he still wants to be baptized, but for himself and no one else. Yay! that is what we have been trying to explain to him! There is still hope for this Saturday, but we will just have to see. I sure hope so! Thank you for your prayers! They are really helping!

Olimpia unfortunately had an experience with the Bishop and is super mad. She wants to be baptized, but not right now. Ugh!! Again, the good news is she said that when she is baptized she needs to be happy and content with herself and her decision. She has a strong testimony in the gospel and knows the importance of the mandamientos, but she is pretty dang stubborn! Please continue to pray for her too!

I dont have a lot of time! I am sorry this letter is short. I hope that you have a great week! I love you and always pray for you!

Love, Hermana Anderson

Lasgna! Ah! you have no idea how happy i was for this meal!
And yes. I ate the tomatoes AND didn´t gag. I think i almost like them now..
