Howdy!

WE GOT SNOW IN ARKANSAS

It felt like we woke up to a second Christmas. I walked out the door and felt as if I was in Colorado again. The snow here is different though and definitely not enjoyable. And biking in it is definitely not enjoyable as well. We did lots of good work though and were able to find success in our efforts.

Again we have some more great news! Our stake in Little Rock is going to be visited by two apostles: Elder Uchtdorf and Elder Eyring. We are going to have multiple meetings with them, the first will be a meeting with just the missionaries. The second big meeting will be at the stake center (the building we meet at) and that will be with all the members of the church in the area. The scary thing is that my companion and I are going to be translating for them. They are having us translate for Apostles... woah! It will be super cool though and Im honored to help in any way I can.

Life has been great though. We are continuing to work hard and try and perfect ourselves. I know that if I put my trust in Christ he will turn me into the man I need to be and help me work on my weaknesses.

So thats super exciting and we are going to have a really exciting and fun week. This last week we were able to go finding in an appartment complex next to the highway and that went really well. We got to meet with 5 men who all live in an appartment together. All of their families live in mexico while they work here to send money to their families.

And with that I have run out of interesting things to tell you! I am really happy though and can see myself growing, in more ways than one. I have already gained 25 pounds! IN addition to that I have seen myslef become a more devoted desciple of Jesus Christ!

As all of you know, my brother and his amazing wife are about to be parents! Woah, my brother is going to be a dad! Super excited for all of them as well as the rest of the family! Go team Anderson!

Love you all!

Elder C. R. Anderson
