Sanderson Family,                                                                                  6/10/2013

Thanks for your letters! Loved the pictures of Stacie's graduation haha Mr. Bailey still looks the same. Dad. it was awesome to hear about the community helping out that family with their roof. The church could use a little more publicity like that. I think when members do that it really clears up a lot of confusion of who we are and what we represent.

In my new area, Edinburgh West things are rough but that just means there is a lot of work to do. My new greenie is Elder Jacob Killpack from Hyrum, Utah. I think that is pretty close to Logan. Anyways he is a little goofy but an awesome missionary. He and I are going to work miracles here. Our area is awesome and has a lot of potential. Its really big though and so its hard to cover it all on the bikes. Since the area hasn't had missionaries for a while we are basically starting from scratch. Its a lot of fun and even though this week was rough we are starting to get some momentum and should be baptizing soon :)  They added another area to my district called Edinbourgh North which was exciting. Always super nice to have Elders in your district. Their names are Elder Jolly and Elder Rodriguez. They are boss missionaries and are a real blessing. Elder Jolly is from Washington and Elder Rodriguez is from Arizona. I also have a companionship of sisters in the Edinburgh Central area. Their names are Sister Judd and Sister Church. Sister Judd is from Washington and Sister Church is from Georgia. Sister Church is here waiting for her visa to go to Argentina so we don't know how long she will be with us. The District isn't doing too well, but we have the missionaries for the job so I am excited to be here.

Sorry the library that we email in has a 40 min limit so I will have to keep it short until we find a new place to go. Love you all :)
