Week 1 Letter

September 6, 2010

WOAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe it's been one week. I'm sorry I forgot to tell you my Preperation day in the MTC is on tuesdays. First off, I want you to know that I love you. I have had a lot of time to think about our family. I miss you guys but I know you will be ok. I gotta keep my heart locked. Will someone tell Bob Beutler that Elder Anderson loves him please? I totally forgot. It's been on my mind every day. Also Mom, Elder Anderson says hi from like six months ago. Just thought you should know. So a scary but awesome thing happened my fifth day in. I am a zone leader. I really don't have to do that much more than I did it Just means I get to act in the place of our branch pres in keeping our zone in line. But our zone is the best and we all do the right thing so my job is easy. It has been a blessing to serve as zone leader with Elder Miller because we get to use our knowledge and spirit to help and serve the other elders who may be struggling or anything like that. In our district we have no sisters but in district c there are three and they are way fun. Elders Miller, Reynolds, Nielson, Nelson, Dotson, and I are headed to Richmond Virginia. Elders Fuller, Kelly, Smith, Hardy, and Wood are headed to Houston. The other district in our zone leaves tomorrow, half to Fresno, and half to Fort Lauterdale, with one sister going to SLC south. I love them all so much. They're great. We will be getting three new districts on Wed. and that should be way fun. Elder Miller and i get to do their orientation and tour of the MTC so I'm way excited to meet them all. One of the best things we have done as a district was yesterday when we had one Elder at a time sit in the middle of the room and each of us told one thing we love about him. After one week we all had some amazing and uplifting things to say to eachother. That is the work of the Lord. 

I have so much to say and only a couple more minutes but I am doing great. I'll write some letters to you and stuff but know that I am having fun and Elder Miller and I are striving to be exactly obedient. I have seen direct blessings from this. I want you to know Elder Fuller is from hawaii and he is the wisest and most handsome Elder I've seen yet at the MTC. Also, Elder Nielson says Hello. He's from st george.

I love you all so much but I have 2 more minutes so i need to go!

Be exactly obedient Tanner. You will be blessed.

Love ya,

Elder Andreasen
