Hey Everyone,

The film crew is here again filming our zone leader for Called To Serve on PBS so we are getting filmed again. It looks like I have a good chance of being in part of an episode. That's like the 4th time I have been filmed on my mission. So that is kind of neat. I am so excited for conferince next week. We are going to a few members houses to watch it with our investigators. We are so excited. It was sad to see Charity came to church yesterday but since she didn't come last week couldn't be baptized yesterday. So we are looking at her being baptized in April. We had 4 less-active/ part member families at church yesterday - so that was great. One family is less-active and has three kids that are 8 years old. We are working on getting them baptized. It doesn't count for us since they are still eight; it's a ward baptism but it's great to work with them and that family. It's great to see the change in their life. That family was always crazy and the kids were not well behaved and hated when we would come over. Now the kids love when we come and want us to always come over and love coming to church. It's amazing what the gospel can do. Transfers are on April 10 and so it's possible I could be moved on the 12th to somewhere else. My companion and I really hope to stay together again. We both love Princeton and don't want to leave. We also get along really well and know how to have fun but still do what we need to do as missionaries. Other then that not much is going on here. I am sick of the weather being nice for a few days and then it gets cold again. Can't it just stay nice always? Well everything here is going well.

Hey, I am sorry I don't have much time left to write. Nothing really happened or going on right now. Looks like we will have another baptism on the 27th but that's about it. I hope all is well. Love, Elder Sanders

P.s. I will send pictures home again ASAP. I don't have that many of me right now. Most are of Washington crossing on christmas.

Hey everyone,

This week has been really good. I made a profile on Mormon.org this week so you have to go look at it and tell me what you think. Just look up Tyler Sanders. Go on and make a profile and let me know when you do. We can go on and show them to investigators since it's a new push the church is doing. On Tuesday it was my companions birthday so we went to this place called Chuck's. It was so good. It's in Princeton and they have great cheese steaks. We have to go when you all come out to pick me up next year. I read a talk the other day in the July 2010 Ensign that I think it would be good for the whole family to read. I think it would be really good if Kristina could get a copy. It's called He Can Heal Any Wound. I learned a lot from it. But I think it would be really good after Kate's passing. On Tuesday we went knocking and we found a family we are going to start teaching. We also got two people from a part member family, and on Friday went to see a less-active who has moved and found another family who is really excited and are going there tomorrow to teach them. WE are really excited for all the work that is going on here now. We should be seeing lots of things start to happen soon. We had a baptism on Saturday and it was really good. This ward is great. They do so much for us and fellowship really well. We got a new investigator from the baptism who is one of his friends and got a member referral the other day who is really excited to meet with us. So it looks like we are going to be busy with the work. It is great to see. It rained yesterday really bad. I am amazed we didn't get any floods. Today was a very nice day. Funny story for the week. We went to a members house for dinner yesterday and one of the boys goes "missionary are you going to eat a cookie?" it was cute. Later as we were leaving the dad asks one of the boys to get his PJ's on and he can eat a cookie. He is 4 years old. So he goes upstairs and then yells "dad can you help me get my shirt unbuttoned" and his dad says "come down stairs and I will help you". He goes "no because then everyone will see my penis". We both started to cry we were laughing so hard and his dad goes well that was good we have been working on honesty. Well thats all I have for now. I love and miss you all.

Love, Elder Sanders
