November 25, 2013 - I've Got the Late Night Munchies!

OK - So all I can say is I TOLD YOU SO!  Read on!  Julie's rash is going to clear up!  YAY!!!  Excited for her.  Sounds like she is doing great and hanging in there! 

 

Hello! This week has been beyond crazy. I have good and bad news.

 

First, I solved the mystery of the rash!!!! I have been praying like crazy to know what is causing it. But as soon as I stopped asking about the WHY and starting asking for help in overcoming the itch to stop scratching, Heavenly Father helped me figure out what the cause is! WOOOO!

 

And now for the bad news.

 

Ater having lived in the area for a week, mysterious bumps started showing up on my arms, neck and legs. My first initial reaction was that there were lots of mosquitos out. Mosquitos love me. After a few weeks, more and more itchy bumps started spreading up my arms and legs. Since I'm a missionary, I don't have permission to search Google whenever I want, so I asked around.  Kinda freaking out, I asked the elder couple missionaries in my zone what it could be. They asked the basic questions that everyone else asks which include, "Could it be bed bugs? Have you changed soaps? What kind of detergent do you use?....." and so on. I went home and checked all around and under my mattress. No bed bugs. I didn't change soaps or detergents...so that wasn't the case. I didn't change any of my eating habits... It was so confusing! And scary! What in the WORLD. Nothing made sense until just this last week.

 

Back to the beginning. The very first night that I slept in my apartment, I saw a little beatle crawling on the wall next to my bed. I got some toilet paper, squished it, and flushed it down the toilet, only thinking that it was some sort of bug native to Virginia. I didn't see another beatle for a few weeks. Over time, I would see more and more of these odd little beatles crawling up, down and sideways all over the wall. Could these weird little bugs be the cause of my allergic reaction? They definitely weren't bed bugs, because I had check my mattress multiple times. If they were bed bugs, wouldn't Sster McKenna be eaten too? She didn't have a single bump on her anywhere! It was so baffling. The six weeks of my first transfer came and went, during which time, my "condition" continued to worsen. Then Sister Hansen moved in. Sister Hansen does NOT like bugs. At all!! She doesn't even like lady bugs! She just gets creeped out. Right around this time, I was praying for help to follow Mom and Dad's advice to just stop scratching so that I can heal. We saw a few of these beatles crawling around and immediately, Sister Hansen said that we needed to tell the front desk of the apartment complex. So we went and told them of the problem. The maintenance guy showed up (he's a really good potential investigator. He always asks really good questions about the gospel! So I like when we have problems with our apartment, because he comes to fix them. I read him a scripture one day when he came to fix our stove. And I asked him if he believed what I read was true. He said YES! And then I said, that scripture is from the BOOK OF MORMON! HAHAHAHA totally shocked him. He's African American and has a great accent. He always says, "Ya'll are tryin' to GET me!" with a big smile on his face! He's a fun guy.) So the maintenance guy shows up and sees a bug on the wall. He didn't have the slightest idea what it could be! He put the bug in a cup and took it downstairs. Five minutes later he was back with the manager of the building. She came back into our room, saw another bug on the wall and announced, "Yep. You have bed bugs."

 

It was as though someone slapped me in the face. I was really hoping that I actually was allergic to something because the thought of little bugs feasting on me every night is repulsive. I almost cried. So they left and we were alone in our room with the little blood suckers. I lifted up my mattress. Nothing. Then I was prompted to lift my box spring. DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER. Bed bugs.

 

I told Sister Hansen that this is the most disgusting blessing that I have ever had in my entire life. I mean seriously, I didn't even go to a foreign country! And I have BED BUGS? Really?! Hahahaha. Oh my goodness. The blessing is that I know why I have bumps all over...so that's good right? Haha.

 

Also, what I thought was mold right in the place where the wall meets the ceiling turns out to be bed bug babies waiting to hatch. Talk about nasty. I don't even want to live in that apartment any more!!!!! YIKES.

 

So this week has involved a lot of DEEEEP CLEANING. We had an exterminator come and tell us that our beds are toast and we should throw them away. So the office elders came and got rid of them for us. I super vacuumed the carpets and every corner of the room. I got the bleach bathroom cleaner (the only cleaner we had at the time) and scrubbed all the "mold" larvae from the walls. We went and blasted all our clothes with heat from the dryers and are currently sleeping in another sister's apartment. Our ward members are great. They gave us blow up beds that we're sleeping on. So life is a little crazy right now. I can't wait to get rid of the bed bugs for good so that I can just focus on the work that I was sent her to do. :) I realize bed bugs are hard to get rid of. Don't worry, literally EVERYONE and their dogs have told me that. So we're doing what we can. It's under control right now. When I'm done emailing today, I'm going to go home and clean everything all over again.

 

Haha. Can you believe I've been living with bed bugs for SEVEN WEEKS?! Makes me just want to throw up!!!! It's a trial of our faith. It's a disgusting miracle. If I wasn't a missionary, I don't think I'd be so positive about this whole situation. The Lord is really helping me with my patience with this entire situation. I know I'm going to enjoy life so much more when it's all over with!

Sis Anderson and Sis Hanson

I'm attaching some pictures of the bugs and their larvae. And the other pictures are of me and Sister Hansen and with a Less Active lady named Susan Brady. We took Susan to the temple visitor center and the sister missionaries there gave us a guided tour. We watched a movie about eternal families.. During the movie, I got a little nervous. This movie portrayed the "perfect mormon family", which is what Susan doesn't have. She's divorced and has two children and a crazy hard life. I was so worried that she would have negative feelings about coming, and that she'd be upset that we made her watch that movie. BUT! God knows what he's doing. He knows so much better than I do. The spirit helped her see and hear what she needed in that moment. We asked her questions about what she thought when it was over, and what she said amazed me. The spirit of the Lord is so individualized for each and every one of us. It really does teach us what we need. It shielded her from comparing her life to the family life that was shown. After the movie, we all had a lesson about the atonement. The spirit was just so strong! That was probably the first time that I've really cried in a lesson. I was asked to bear my testimony in the end. I testified of the importance of her example to her children. I told her that I've never been a mother before, but I have experience being a daughter. I told her that because of the example of my parents, I am able to have a strong testimony rooted in the gospel of Jesus Christ. I talked about my mom and dad and how I really appreciate their love and their teachings. So, Mom and Dad, thank you for teaching me about Jesus Christ and the importance of patterning our lives after Him. Thank you for your great example. Thank you for your love. That is the number one thing I am grateful for this Thanksgiving. I love you so much.

 

This Thanksgiving we were asked not to tract or street contact because we don't want to disrupt anyone and their families. So we're going to a member's home. He's awesome. I think he's throwing a big party for a bunch of the other singles from the ward who couldn't make it home for the weekend. I'm excited. Have fun with Grandma and Grandpa K! Give them a bear hug for me!!! Thanks for the little medical care package. I really appreciate it. Though I'm not allergic to anything, I have put most of the things to good use. :) haha.

 

I just finished reading Mosiah 24 and a few chapters before. It's the story of the people of King Limhi and the people of Alma and both of their stories involving being in bondage by the Lamanites. In both cases, the Lord delivers his people! We WILL be delivered from this bed bug situation! All is well! :)

 

I love you! Happy Thanksgiving!

Love,
Sister Anderson

November 18, 2013 - God is a Refiner of Men

Sister Hanson and Sister Anderson

This week was great. We got transfer calls Tuesday night. Sister Mckenna was gone to Kingstown or something. I can't remember haha. But my new companion's name is Hillary Hanson! She's pretty much the coolest person ever. She has big poofy hair and loves to talk! We both have a lot in common in the fact that we love talking to people, and we're really outgoing. So tracting and street contacting is great. She's been on her mission for nine months. I'm so glad that she's going to finish training me because she knows a lot about being a missionary. She's been at it for a while now. :) She's from Vacaville, California and she is the youngest of three kids. She has one older sister and an older brother who are both married. Her sister is less active. Sister Hanson's really excited for online procelyting so that she can help reactivate her sister! Sister Hanson's super chill and we communicate really well. She said that we are going to be powerhouse teachers! I can't wait!

 

I've been keeping busy, but there isn't anything super exciting to write about this week. I think I wrote about my prompting to drive to Falls Church to visit our potential investigator named Julio in my last email... We set up a return appointment with him for the next day. We were five minutes away from his apartment when he texted us and said that he was called into work early and that he wasn't interested anway. We even had a member drive all the way out there to come to the lesson! So we just talked with the member for a little bit. Turns out, as she has been praying for missionary experiences, she has been able to share the gospel and see miracles every single day! She told us about how she took our advice that we gave her weeks earlier to pray to enlist the help of angels. And so many doors have been opened to her! She is a great missionary. She talks to people about the gospel at the grocery store, at the park, at work. She told us about how she went to a restaurant where they offered her wine right when she sat down. Instead of politely saying no she responded, "I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints, and I do not drink alcohol!" WOW. Talk about courage! Her faith strengthens mine! There are ways everyone can share the gospel every day! Pray for teh guidance of the Lord. He has placed people in our paths that are ready for the gospel!

 

The Lord is a refiner of men. In Malachi it says, 2 But who may ^aabide the ^bday of his ^ccoming? and who shall ^dstand when he appeareth? for he is like a ^erefiner’s ^ffire, and like fullers’ ^gsoap:3 And he shall sit as a ^arefiner and purifier of silver: and he shall ^bpurify the ^csons of ^dLevi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the Lord an ^eoffering in righteousness.
Just as a metal refiner would have to heat up gold or silver in order to burn out the impurities, the Lord "heats" us up to burn out our own impurities. We are given challenges and trials to make us stronger. I know the Lord will not give us anything that we can't handle, and he expects us to turn to him in order to make it through. He wants us to become the best that we can be in this life. I know that I have my rash for a reason. It's not fun at all, but I am learning patience and long-suffering. And I'm probably learning a lot more than that, but only the Lord knows. He is definitely pushing me and testing me. But it's strengthening my faith. I have to pray a LOT to make it through sometimes. Thank goodness for the atonement of Jesus Christ!! The atonement covers a LOT more than just the sins of the world. Christ suffered for the pains and afflictions as well.
Alma 7:11-13And he shall go forth, suffering pains and ^aafflictions and ^btemptations of every kind; and this that the word might be fulfilled which saith he will ^ctake upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people.
12 And he will take upon him ^adeath, that he may ^bloose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to ^csuccor his people according to their infirmities.
13 Now the Spirit ^aknoweth all things; nevertheless the Son of God suffereth according to the ^bflesh that he might ^ctake upon him the sins of his people, that he might blot out their transgressions according to the power of his deliverance; and now behold, this is the testimony which is in me.

Just pay attention to the order of his sufferings in this scripture. First he suffered the afflictions, or hard trials that are inflicted upon us, then he suffered temptations and THEN he suffered the sins of the world. Christ went through a whole lot just for US. So that means that Christ suffered my mystery rash! I pray for help in enduring the pain that comes from trying to resist scratching. I pray to have the itch taken away during lessons or at night so that I can focus on the spirit and sleep well. The atonement of Jesus Christ is real and it works when we apply it to our lives with faith. A metal refiner knows when his work is complete when he can look into that piece of metal and can see his reflection. Alma 5:14 And now behold, I ask of you, my brethren of the church, have ye ^aspiritually been ^bborn of God? Have ye received his image in your countenances? Have ye experienced this mighty ^cchange in your hearts?
Have you recieved his image in your countenance? I think of that cheesy song that we sang in Young Womens Camp a few years back. :) When all of our impurities have been heated and when we have become the best we can be in this life, people will be able to see Christ through us. Becoming the best we can be is a gradual process, and it's not easy! We need continue to develop Christlike attributes all the time! It's all about enduring to the end! I have a strong testimony of my Savior and his infinite atonement! I love testifying of him every single day! I love being a representative of Him and wearing his name over my heart! Whenever I don't know what to say in the middle of a lesson or if I forget what to say in the middle of a tracting situation, I immediately start testifying of Jesus Christ. It works! :) This church is true. This is a gospel of love! I am proud of who I am and who I represent. Missionary work is THE most important work anyone could ever do. Help the missionaries in your area. Give them people to teach. Invite EVERYONE to an activity or church. If you truly love your friends, you'll share with them the greatest gift that anyone could offer; the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I love you all! I hope you have a great week!
Love,
Sister Anderson

November 11, 2013 - Finally an email from Sister Anderson!!!

I didn't post anything last week, because there really wasn't anything to post.  Julie just emailed us and let us know she was alright.  Maybe a totally of six sentences.  Needless to say, we were disappointed.  This week, however, she sent a great email that I am posting.  I looked up the scriptures on the bottom and I like the one in Joshua, I didn't get the humor in the Alma verse.  Maybe it is just some funny missionary humor?  I don't know.  Anyway---she seems happy.  Trying to figure out her rash.  I have a picture, but I hesitate to post it, maybe later!   Enjoy and please feel free to mail her anything at her address. If she is transferred tomorrow I will be posting a new address tomorrow.

Oh--also, if you have noticed, there are some links on the side of this that are blogs of a few of Julie's friends who are serving from this the Olympia/Lacey/Tumwater area. (Or in the case of Elder Oliver--used to live here).  It is a work in progress and if you would like me to include your missionary please just let me know!  Thanks!  How exciting!!!

Sister Anderson

Sister McKenna and Sister Anderson

Here's is the email from Sister Anderson--

I was able to print off your emails from last week. So I can actually answer your questions! Yes, I  bought a coat from TJMAXX. It's a Calvin Clein. And it's really long. AND SO WARM. Mmmm. It's nice. I love it. It was supposed to snow today...

 

You asked about how money works for missionaries. The missionary department pays for rent, the car, insurance... When it comes to food and things that I need, they put $175 on a debit card that they gave me every month. And if I don't use it all one month, it spills over to the next month!

 

Sister McKenna has a card reader she's willing to let me borrow. Unfortunately, she forgot it at home today. So I will send pictures home next week. Be patient with me! Sorry!!!

 

Just so you know, those websites that you referred me to are probably great. But they are not mission approved!

 

Speaking of websites, I am able to go on Facebook to enhance my missionary work as of today! Woo! Before I actually start using it to find and teach though, I have to clean it up a bit. So don't be alarmed if you see any changes.

 

AS FOR MY ALLERGY THING: I went to an allergist last Tuesday. He had no idea what was going on either. I took a picutre that I was going to send to you today...but the card reader is at home. So you get to see it next week. It's all over my arms and legs. It looks like a combination of chicken pox and bed bugs, but it's neither of those things. I have little red bumps/boils all over. They itch really bad and when I wake up in the morning, it hurts a lot. I subconsiously itch, so I have lots of scabs. It's really embarassing. I wear long sleeves and tights every single day. Seriously, it confuses every doctor I see. This last allergist though took a picture of it and is working to find out what it might be. I know for a fact that it's not bed bugs, I've checked my bed a gazillion times. I am not sick, and it's not contagious, otherwise Sis MCKenna would have it too. That's all that I really know how to describe. I'm sorry you feel out of the loop.

 

President Riggs wants everyone to tell their friends and family to send letters directly to their apartments. The mission office is overloaded right now, and sorting letters is adding to their stress. My apartment address is 3201 Landover St #502 Alexandria, VA 22305. Please let everyone know to help out the mission office!

 

Transfers are this week. I don't find out if I'm being transfered until later tonight. If I do end up being transfered, I am allowed to email you my new address this Friday.

 

Okay. I think I covered everything. I hope I didn't miss anything. And if I did, I am sorry. I'm not perfect!

 

So Halloween was okay. I made sure to eat lots of chili. Not the same as Dad's famous chili, but it made me feel a little bit at home. :)

 

My mission is just the best. I get to try all sorts of different foods from different cultures! I've had Korean, Italian and WEST AFRICAN food in the past coulpe of weeks. One lady in the ward from Korea made us cod, black rice, sea week stuff and something else that looked like a cross between green beans and garden worms...I forgot what it was called. But I ate all of it! Be proud! I actually like it okay. Another member jsut loves to cook. He made us an Italian dish called Carbonara. It was delicious. I told him the story about how my dad would make food for us and put the word "mission" in front of its name and how I wouldn't eat any of it. He thought that was funny. He told me to make Mission Carbonara for my dad when I get home to see who makes better mission food. :) So I have the recipe! Be prepared for yummy food in 17 months! Haha! Sunday night one of t he members had an African dinner party. You HAVE to tell Stacey Ejim!! It was the coolest thing ever! I ate real African food with real Africans! hahaha!!!!! They thought it was funny to try to convince me that I needed to eat all the chicken bones. They told me that it was custom to eat it to get the bone marrow! I guess that's how they do it in Africa, but I just couldn't do it! They laughed at me for a long time... oh dear. Two men were from Ghana, one from Liberia, and one from Sierra Leon. One man had served his mission in Uganda, and one had served in Nigeria(which is why I immediately thought of STACEY!!! ahhh!!) Seriously. Going to Africa is on my life bucket list. Out of all the many people that I've met out here from many different countries, Africans are by far my favorite.

 

Update on the work: George isn't progressing. So we're going to give him a break. He flat out told us that he lets us meet with him for social purposes....awkward. He just doesn't get out much. We have a lot of potential investigators though. We have Say, Jay, Ibraheim, Mauricio, Doug, Julio, and Ann. Pray that these people will make time for the missionaries!

 

We were able to run home and grab the card reader!!! WOOO

 

It's almost impossible for a missionary to not be homesick. We teach of families all day long. Families are central to Christ's church. I am constantly reminded of the blessings that come from having an eternal family. And I'm just so grateful that I get to share those blessings with each of you! Now, by homesick, I don't mean that I really want to come home...because I want to be here on my mission! But I miss my mom and dad. I miss my built in best friends. I miss going on brother/sister dates. I miss sneaking into my sister's room late at night to giggle over silly boys or to cry over school problems. I missed Dayle scaring me. (Okay. I DO NOT miss that aweful chicken. UGH) I miss dancing and giggling and being weird with Brendan. I miss being able to get a hug whenever I need one. I miss calling or texting them whenever I feel like it. I miss you guys a lot. I wish I could have taken you on my mission with me! The best part of it is though, is that eventhough we can't be together right now at this moment, we've got all eternity! And I wouldn't want to spend eternity with anyone else! I love you all so much!

 

Be sure to look up Alma 60:7. it's funny. and also Joshua 3:7. it gives me strength.

\

Love you all so much! Have a great week! I think about you gusy all the time!

 

Love,

Sister Anderson

October 28, 2013 - Online Proselyting Missionaries

Here is Sister Anderson's last letter.  Sounds like she is doing well.  She is excited about the online adventure that will soon be presented!  Still working on the rash deal.  Hope she gets that all worked out soon.   Thanks everyone for your love and prayers on behalf of Julie.

 

Hey everyone! So since I only get ONE HOUR a week to email (and that includes writing my mission president and doing online work) it would be really easy and convenient for me if you could sent me letters throughout the week. You could type them up and print them out and send them to me. That way I have time to read them during personal time before bed. I like to plan out what I'm going to write in my emails on a piece of paper before I get to the library. It's a lot less stressful that way. I spend a lot of time reading all my emails- especially the longer ones....

 

Okay. News on the skin allergy thing. The silly doctor had no idea how to help me. And he sat there for at least 15 minutes asking me the same questions over and over, but worded a little differently each time. Everyone is a politician out here! It drives me nuts! No matter how many times they ask me the same question, the answer is going to be the same! Oh boy....but yeah. They're going to call me hopefully tomorrow morning with my lab results. Thanks for sending my insurance card though. That helps a lot. I'll be sure to call the customer service number as soon as I hear about the results.

 

My sister training leader told me that a lot of people see allergies on their missions that they've never had before because this is such a critical time and Satan wants to get us down. I feel like that's true. But Satan's NOT going to get me down! It's made me work even harder!

 

EXCITING NEWS! We're going to be online proselyting missionaries!! That means we get iPhones and iPads. AND we get Facebook. I am going to be the BEST Facebook missionary ever! I'm such a good stalker! Pretty much professional. ;) But seriously though. I am so excited to use media in my missionary work. Media has such a negative influence on the world as it is. And yet! There is opposition in all things! It is going to be used for SO MUCH GOOD! It's so exciting! President mentioned something about how we could Skype friends and family from home and teach them the missionary lessons. :O wut. I don't know the details, but I will keep all of you updated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

This Friday we had a mission conference for all the sister missionaries. Sister Riggs spoke about women's role in the priesthood. She said that even though we don't actually hold the priesthood, we still have access to it. The way that she explained it was really empowering. She said that we can ask for help from angels and that we can pray for specific angels to come and help us. Sometimes I pray for GG to help me out because I actually knew her. :) Sis Riggs also talked about how when the Lord hastens his work on one side of the veil, you'd better believe he's hastening it on the other side as well! I know that's true! There are so many of my ancestors who are helping me! There are also ancestors of my future investigators that are helping me find their children! God has two armies working together. He has missionaries and people that we can see on this side of the veil, and he has numberless concourses on the other side that we can't see. Satan's 1/3 army doesn't even stand a chance! It's so great.

 

Update on George, our only progressing investigator. Yeah...he's not progressing. It's so sad. We're probably going to have to take a break with him for a while and it makes my heart hurt... He's SO CLOSE. But he isn't keeping any of his commitments. We're going to meet with him one more time to see where things are before we call it quits for a while.

 

Miracles happen! We were at the right place at the right time. We stopped into the church building for a quick bathroom break and ran into some other sister missionaries. they needed to go on a split because two of their appointments were going to overlap. So I went with one sister and taught their investigator the restoration. Their investigator decided last minute to bring a friend that was curious!!!! AND he is 37 which means he'd be in the Potomac Mid Singles ward!!!!!!!! WE might have a new investigator!!! We were SOOOO exciteedd! God is so good.

 

I'm really trying hard to be united with sis McKenna. The closer we get to teaching with unity, the more annoyed with each other we get over petty topics. It's so dumb. Satan knows that when we start teaching with power, we are going to start changing lives. That's because when we teach in unity, the spirit can step in and take over. The spirit is the real teacher here. Obviously, Satan doesn't want that.... So we're trying not to let that get us down!

 

Quick word about modesty: Let everyone who is going to go on a mission know that the rules are for serious! Let the sisters know to be more professional than fashionable. It's exciting that we get to wear colors and patterns, but we are servants of the Lord. Just spread the word. Make sure that skirts cover the front and back of your knees and that the hemline is one length. So no high-low skirts or tribally skirts (like that one that I brought. :( )

 

I've been thinking about LIGHT a lot recently. In D&C 88:67 it says,

And if your eye be single to my glory, your whole bodies shall be filled with light, and there shall be no darkness in you; and that body which is filled with light comprehendeth all things.

 

WOW. I mean, we have some pretty great blessings that are promised to us! And all we have to do is keep our eye single to the glory of God! Granted, it's much easier said than done, but it is so worth it!! I had a blessing from an elder in my zone at the MTC the night before we left for DC and I was promised that the people I came in contact with would see my light as I testified of the Savior and his restored gospel. What a great promise! It reminds me of the scripture mastery Matt 5:14-16, Part of it says, Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your father which is in heaven... We have to LET our light shine! Don't hold anything back! I'm just really motivated to be myself with every single person I talk to, even though sometimes it's hard.

 

"She walked not in the borrowed light of others, but faced the morning unafraid and invincible" -tribute to Eliza R. Snow at her funeral by Joseph F Smith.

 

I want to be remembered by my light and the light of Christ when it's my time to go home. :)

 

I've been trying to keep up with my Book of Mormon reading goal.... it's hard. but it's going. 2 Ne 22:2 behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid; for the Lord Jehovah is my strength and my song; he also has become my salvation. A few versus later in verse 5 it reads, Sing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent things; this is known in all the earth. I don't really like the Isaiah chapters of the Book of Mormon because Isaiah is good at confusing me...but I really like how much he talks about singing and rejoicing in our God. I love singing! The first thing I'm going to do when I make it to the celestial kingdom is to audition to be in the top heavenly choir! Haha. But in the mean time, I have to sing heavenly praises in these earthly choirs. Which are pretty great! I love that I get to use my talent to praise the Lord! It's the best. :)

 

I love you all! I loved the homecoming pictures! Everyone looks so good!!!! Andersons are just attractive! That's all that there is to it! Haha. Have a great week!! You're all in my prayers!

 

Love,

Sister Anderson
