A Humbling Story

Hola,

This week was super great because we got to listen to Elder Bragg from the Seventy! We took a big ole bus down to Mendoza and all us missionaries got together, and man it’s always super great when the mission gets together. Elder Bragg is a champ! I learned a lot from him about prayer and what I can do for my comp. The power of prayer baby, gotta love it.

Been learning how to cook out here on the mission, I’ll send some pics. It’s a process, but I’m getting better. So hyped to cook for you mom!

Super quick story. So we met this family of three boys who are members who are living here in Media Agua, and the other day we went by to see how they were doing, and we found out that they pretty much don’t have anything. Like we asked the youngest brother if we could come inside and sit down with him and share a message, and he told us that they don’t have any chairs. So we ended up sitting on the floor of their house to share a quick little message. Turns out, this family of boys just recently lost their father a few months ago in a motorcycle crash, and the mom lives with another man in Mendoza. And on top of all that, both his older brothers took off to Mendoza for a little while, so he’s all by himself. As this young man Johnny was telling us his story, it was like it wasnt that big of a deal to him, like it was something normal. It was a really humbling moment for me. Anyway, we shared a little bit of the Plan of Salvation to Johnny, and made sure that he knew that God loves him. We ended up inviting him to drink some hot chocolate with some members to help him feel better, and so that the members could get to know him.

Anyway, we had a super great week. We found a lot of great new people that we’re gonna teach. I love teaching this gospel everyday, it’s the best.

Love you guys,

Elder Anderson
