Brother Anderson also talked of his granddaughter and the struggles that she had experienced. She was blessed to receive support from a certain group or organization in Utah, which incidentally, was comprised of many Tongan ladies. Fortunately, his granddaughter received assistance from this organization and progressed to the point that she felt well enough to put in her papers to serve a mission.
She was advised that as a result of her past history in mental health challenges that she might not be invited to fill a regular full-time mission. Another individual told her not to worry about that because the Lord would call her where he needed her.
The response, the "call" came and Brother Anderson and all the family gathered around the computer, as his granddaughter was going to announce the results on Facebook Live. Each person was invited to put in a guess as to where the granddaughter had been called. Friends and relatives (over 100), filled her living room in Utah and others were watching on the Internet.
Brother Anderson's guess was Oakland California mission, because he had been reared in that area and he knew that at that location, his granddaughter would find many of the Polynesian Saints and have the opportunity to "give back", in part, to those members, what she had received, in spirit, if not in kind. See population of islanders in California.
I'm sure that you can guess where his granddaughter was called to fill a mission. She would be serving a full-time, English speaking mission in Oakland California!
