Goodbye Springfield......Hello Champaign!

Elder Anderson is on the move again!  He got word this week that he is being transferred back to the Champaign, Il area.  He is very excited as he has so many fond memories there as well as people that he loves.  His assignment is a little different this time.  He is serving in a singles ward at the University of Illinois.  He has loved being in Springfield and has seen a lot of growth and success, especially lately.  They are finding people that are truly in search of the truth and have been blessed with a couple of baptisms.  They have really worked with the members in helping them with their investigators.  He has gained a testimony of member missionary work and knows that it is so important to help those in search of the truth.  He has also experienced some wild weather while in Springfield.  They lived through a couple of tornadoes and a LOT of rain!  He is grateful for all the missionaries he has had the opportunity to work with and his least favorite thing in saying "goodbye" to those that are heading home.  It won't be long now and he will be one of those leaving.  He is looking forward to these next few months and the experiences and work he has to do in Champaign.
