Ah! I just love being a missionary!



I absolutely LOVE Sister Anderson. I have the best companion in the entire world. She was just made coordinating sister (like the relief society president) on Sunday! No one was surprised, she is amazing. I'm not sure if President Baker does this with everyone, but when he called her to the position he called me in at the same time. He said it was a hard decision and that he wishes we were here longer so that I could have the chance to have the leadership position as well. And then he complimented us for having such a great companionship. We really do have a great companionship, and we both feel that this won't be the only time we will be companions. I'm excited and hope that when I know the language a little better we will be put together again. We can do so much good together, we just know it. 

So...last week after I emailed you guess who came to the MTC? Elder M. Russell Ballard! It was so cool! We were all singing prelude songs in the giant auditorium and then he walked in and everyone stood up and it was silent and the spirit testified that he is an apostle of the Lord. It was the coolest thing ever. I love the MTC! We get to hear from really awesome people all the time and we are always studying the gospel and strengthening our testimonies and it is just the best place in the world. And its getting so big! Especially with all the sisters! My first couple weeks here, at relief society we would only fill up a small portion of the auditorium and now it is almost entirely full! It is so amazing! Ah! I just love being a missionary!


Sister Fuller & Sister Anderson

Sister Anderson and I were walking out of the temple and kind of waved at this women sitting by the fountain. We both slowed down, looked at each other, then turned around to go talk to her. It was a 72 year old Tongan women and she talked our ear off for an hour! In the freezing cold February wind. It was really great though and she had some really great stories. She reminded us that we will get rejected by some people, but that it's okay because Christ was rejected and so it only makes sense that we will be rejected as well.
