Words from Elder Garrett Anderson in Brazil

"hey guys!
i am still slacking on the weekly emails but i will try to improve these last couple of months. yesterday we had a baptism! it was awesome and i was so excited about it. i felt the spirit so strong as i entered the waters to perform the ordinance! his name is valder, he is a father of another member, actually his whole family are members, and he was just baptized! They were ecstatic and so was I. He is 80 years old and blind, but i really love that old man. He is such a great guy and so humble. I am so thankful that he listened to our message and followed the example of Jesus Christ by being baptized. I love being a missionary!

Today was transfers. i was transfered to an old area where i had worked for 6 months. i will finish out the last 3 months there. the mission president told me i need to go back to help the members and the converts that we baptized to return and just help out in general. it will be a great 3 months and i will be sad to leave. i love you guys and have a great week!"
