June 20, 2011

Hey family, just a heads up on what will be happening on Wednesday, the 22nd.  Our flight leaves SLC  at 10:30 a.m.  I will try and call from the airport if I can.  We will get into Washington D.C. around 5:00 p.m.
The Mission Home will send you an e-mail to let you know that I have arrived.  I will stay the night at the Mission Home.  I'll write or e-mail as soon as I can to let you know exactly where I will be.
      Remember I love you both so much!
                  Love,  Dakota Thomas:)

 Mom and Dad, and family,
  Like all new experiences, it has been a little rough going here and there, but overall being here has been a good learning experience.  I wish that I had studied harder, prayed more.  I'm glad that we have so much time for learning in the MTC.  I am always learning and that's a good thing.
Thanks for telling me about  the great storm that you had in Wyoming.  It sounds like it was awesome with all the thunder and lightening, hail and rain.  Sounds cool!  I can just see you running down the street with NO shoes on in the middle of a hail storm to save the garbage cans.  Hope there safe. lol   I am jealous of that storm!  I miss the rain. We have had gorgeous weather, but some rain would be nice.
We,  Elder Yassie and I,  are continuing to teach our investigators.  We are really getting through to them,
(I think:)
 Remember, love this gospel and live it!  "Find something you love and hold on to it."Elder Anderson (yes me)
I love my family and pray for them every day.   Love Dakota
p.s. did you send family pictures yet????

Hey parents, No E-mail this week?  Well that is okay, it's been nice keeping up with everything that is going on through your letters. My P-Day is Wednesday and right now I am doing laundry, not too exciting!
The MTC has been a great experience, my testimony has grown so much.  I've seen Christian Smith and some of the guys from College, so that is cool!  I have been called as a District Leader.  I really think that there are others that are mentally and spiritually stronger, so I guess the Lord is teaching me to be strong.  My companion, Elder Yazzie, and I have been teaching two investigators.  It has been an amazing experience.  We also learned so much from teaching, it was incredible.
Well it was great to hear from the both of you, I also heard from Kenton, Branden, Alyssa and Zach.  It has been awesome hearing from all of you, love you all.
Love, Elder Anderson
p.s. Tell my brothers and sisters I love them too and tell them to stop being so dang lazy and write me!!!!
Much love from the MTC,  Elder Anderson
