Hey Family!
I got here safely. I love y'all. I have only been here 1 day but I was given time to e-mail my parents right now. So.... Here I am e-mailing you. I only have ten minutes to e-mail. So, it's been good so far. I have a companion named Sister Jones, just like Michael said I would! It was so funny. I told her about it and she thought it was funny. My other companion is named Sister Greenshraugh. Or something like that. It is so hard to remember her name so that is probably actually not how to spell it.  I am pretty hungry here so thank you so much for packing that sandwich, I have not yet had time to eat it because there has literally been no time.  And I will have no personal time at all. Like 24 hours 7 days a week I will be with a companion.  At college, my roommate was like never there so I got really used to having a room to myself, I could read outloud or blast music but now I am always with the other two. So, I can only e-mail family right now and possibly only family my entire mission (I hope that is a rumor) but yeah, so if you could just tell anyone who needs to know, life is going good.  Today has been good. I have already talked to practice companions. It was pretty good.  I am learning the language of the Spirit and I do like it.  I have felt the Spirit here and I am thankful for that. I like my companions and I am glad that they are both pretty cool and friendly. One companion is 21 and one is 19 but she graduated 2014. I got to go. I love you so much. I guess you could forward this or not, what ever you want. I love you and hopefully I can e-mail more people next time and e-mail for longer. Stay amazing. The entire family is in my prayers. I love you.
Love always,
Sister Anderson.

Dear Kaitlin or rather Sister Anderson, I will forward your email to all.  I was really surprised to get an email and am glad I followed the prompting I received.  I got my tablet out and deleted a bunch of emails since I haven't read emails since before christmas.  Then I thought I wonder if kaitlin sent an email and it went to my gmail account which I never use nor do I know the password for but my tablet happened to have it programmed in and I opened it up and found your letter.  That was so exciting.  Is it easier for you to send to gmail than to yahoo?  I forwarded your picture that I took on my phone to Drake.  He was glad to have it.  It was a nice picture of you.  I will also send it to josiah.  That is hilarious about sister jones.  Where are your companions from?  Did you get the letters dad and erin and david sent thru dearelder.com?  I am glad you have had the opportunity to feel the spirit.  I have been praying for you.  Conner and I are going to watch the district series when we get home.  After we dropped you off I missed you a bunch.  We ate lunch then drove to lehi.  You were write about the yellow color.  It isnt real soothing.  Tessa fell down about four stairs and got a huge knot on her head.  We put ice on it, which she thought was a game so she is doing okay.  We will look at her head in the morning.  We played a fun game which I will probably buy.  Conner wasnt happy about being on the losers team (dad and I) especially since dad couldnt remember the rules of the game.  We all watched michael wrap allisons Christmas gift, including Allison since they were all in an amazon box.  We all laughed at the end result.  Michael described his wrapping as a four year old wearing oven mitts.  It did look pretty crazy.  I need to spend a few hours wrapping the rest of the presents.  We are hoping a salesman can come by so I can answer the door and tell them to go away because it is Christmas.  Kylee and Chas will be coming in super late as their plane was cancelled and now they have a seven hour layover in los angeles.  I suggested they try to get on a plane on stand-by and perhaps come in sooner.  I asked the family which traditions they still want to do and Erin said she wants to do the nativity.  So that made me happy.  The boys groaned about wearing dorky hats again and complained about being on facebook.  We are going to decorate gingerbread men and then on new years day we will play the candy bar game after we celebrate Christmas.  I have all your boxes in the van from both michaels and erins and will organizs them and look for your check.  I will pay tithing on it for you unless you know you already did, plus the five dollars you asked me to do and the rest at home.  Boy for not seeing you for only 12 hours I sure had a lot to say.  And I am not done yet.  Did you get your kiss good night?  I just want you to know that I love you so much.  I admire your thoughtfulness and your spirituality.  You are so kind and generous - example - the homeless guy as we got off the freeway and you wanting to give him some string cheese.  Thanks for that prompting and not being afraid to act upon it.  I will try to share some of the ones I have had as I write letters to you.  Well, I should go to bed but I first want you to know that I love you very much.  I feel like one of my best friends is gone and I miss you.  Keep up the good work.  You are awesome.  Love, mom

The MTC has been crazy! thank you so much for the dearelder letters. It makes me super happy to get them. I really love them. And it would have been super funny if a salesman had come by and you told him to go away because it was Christmas. That would have been really funny. I am really glad that second Christmas went really well. I really love hearing about life back home and I am really thankful that I can be emailing you. When I get to Mississippi I will not be able to have another P day until a week because there will be P days on Monday and that is the day I fly off there. So I will not even be here for two weeks. It is crazy, but it has been so fun to be here.

Your email was so short.  Had hoped to hear more details about what you are doing.  Are you able to email more people or did you only have a super short time to email us?  We love you.  Mom

I am really concerned about marks on your arms.  You told drake that his body is precious and shouldnt be treated like this.  Our bodies are patterned after Heavenly Father and Mother.  How long has this been going on and why and I feel bad that you dont feel like you can talk to me and would rather desecrate your body.  I love you vert much.  Mom

Thats all good.  We just love to hear from you and how you are doing.  Everyone asks about you.  Tons of ice today so no work for dad or school for conner.  I am glad you are getting our dearelder letters that will be over shortly and then we will send real letters once we get an address for you, but at least we can send to mission home and they will forward them.  Are you better able to feel the spirit again.  I hope so.  Your letters sound happy.  I love you.  Mom
