A recent convert that moved into our ward called us on October 17, 2011. She said that her 10 year old daughter Kelly (name changed) wanted to be baptized! What a way to start our P-Day. She is scheduled to be baptized on November 12, 2011. My second baptism. It feels so good to be able to bring one of our Heavenly Father's choice daughters to the light of the gospel. She has a great testimony, and a beautiful spirit. The ward will welcome her in with open arms. Thanks for all the prayers in our ( Elder Bates and mine) be-half and of those that we are teaching. The Lord blesses us in so many ways to accomplish his work.
We had another baptism on October 20th, again a recent converts daughter who is 13. I know that I told you that transfers were coming up and I wasn't sure what or where I would be at. But I just got the word that I will be staying in Spotsylvania. (YEA!) and I will also be becoming a trainer. WOW! A lot to take in. I am so grateful to be serving a mission and I am seeing the Lord work miracles in the lives of the people here in Virginia. Remember that I love you all. I have the best family ever!
Love,
Your Son, your brother, your friend. Dakota Thomas Anderson
P.S. Only 48 days till Christmas!
