Hello dear family! i love love love you! Just wanted to make sure you know that. Sorry I didn't tell you much last week. to tell you the truth we are going through some rough times. we work are hardest and try to create and plan and set goals for the work to move forward. There is just so much anti here.....it's a battle every day. I am learning a lot. i feel that i am being tested at the one thing i thought i had. Optimism usually comes naturally, but now i have to stay on my knees untill i can get it back...... I am being stretched and it doesnt always feel good. we are trying so hard to exercize our faith. This is sister Andersons last transfer and she is such an amazing hard working missionary...she has seen so much success in other areas....it's just hard to see her struggling too. we are just so glad that God is letting us go through this together.....it would be so much harder if it wasnt for this great companionship and friendship that we have! we just want so badly to get this area moving forward before she leaves in 6 weeks. We have been doing alot of contacting and tracting and we have been serving a lot too. Trying to love the ward and the people more. its sad to see the ward struggle. we have such great leadership but they have so much weight on thier shoulders because not everyone is doing thier part. The attitude seems to be that church is a social club and any duty or calling is just done for "extra credit" but not out of sence of duty or obedience to God... I hope it doesn't sound like I'm complaining im just trying to express to you the issues we are having with the work here. Any ideas on how to unite the ward and help people reach out? we need help! Just trying to love and do all that i can! I want so badly to share my testimony with people who will hear it!
Love,
Sis. Flake
