5/2/2011 Letter-"They are starting to like the Gringo"

Hello Familia,

I love you and miss you and can't wait to hear from you in a few days. Nothing really happened this week. It's been kinda of boring. But I did send a gift for mothers day so hope you will like it. I will probably send it Sunday because this member can also send packages and letters so it's going to help a lot. Don't worry momma I'm safe. So I got a little bit sick and my companion also got the same sickness. I think we ate bad food, but we are all good now. We know this doctora that is a member in our barrio. She gave us some medication and told me I have to eat a lot more, which is weird because I feel like I eat a ton. But I have to eat more and start taking weight supplaments because I have lost ten pounds walking everywhere. It sucks but I think this is going to help a lot. Everything is going pretty good. I still haven't received your package but it is probably in Leon, so I should get it soon. Make sure you put pics of Jesus and the Virgin Mary on the packages. It keeps people from stealing stuff.  You can find them on line. Ha, it's kinda weird how many people believe in different idols here. It's one challenge that is kinda hard to show them different. But we have another baptism this month hopefully it all goes through. We find a lot of people but they just don't progress and so it's kinda hard to work sometimes. Also we got a new program that makes us study for 4 hours. So I am studying and learning a lot. My companion situation, is a little bit better. We aren't fighting but it's just a difference in cutlture. I pray everyday for guidance and patience. So also I will be in San Miguel for 3 more months with this new program. Also, I am in the Aldea ward. I still dont know my address, ha ha, but that's the ward I am in so you can google it up on the computer. Know that I am well and I love you all. I wish I could have been at Chelsea and Derrick's sealing. I bet it was very special and spirtitual. But I am here, serving the Lord. I am starting to fall in love with these people and I love it. They also are starting to like the Gringo. Ha so it's all good. I love you all,

Your Elder Anderson
