Week 11 (6/17/13)


Dear... everyone...
Honestly I don't even know who reads this, I think I'm just barely realizing this....
This week... it's funny. I always start these emails with this week and every single day in my journal I say.... well today....
It was pretty good. It's been a little rough. We have lost some potential investigators that we thought would be pretty solid. So we are back to square one... finding. We had a tornado warning this week. So.... warning is way worst than watch and for the watch we were inside ALL DAY long. That one was also a tropical storm though. OH yeah and on Tuesday we had a Lighting warning as well. Good thing that one wasn't for too long. It's crazy what staying inside will do to your mind though! All you want to do it get out and do missionary work. It made me a lot more appreciative that's for sure. Dawn is supposed to be getting baptized this Saturday, but we have to get her living situation figured out first, it's been kind of a mess for us to figure it all out, but it is totally worth it in the end :)


We had to get some of Sister A's letters out of that dumb mail box.... so 2 pieces of gum and my awesome skills later we got them out of the box:) the hardeset part was finding a stick... there are only palm trees here.

I think I'm having a brain fart... I really don't remember what we did the rest of the week.
Well, we finally were able to meet with Rafelita who we have been trying to visit for weeks. She was so happy to see us and now calls us her daughters... (a lot of people do that.... don't worry I'm really safe with lots of moms here). We  had a lunch with a potential. She cried as we recited the first vision, but says she loved her religion so much that she doesn't think she could do another. Plus she's moving... huh. Seeds planted. That's just what we keep saying ;)
Fathers day was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. I just had to pretend like I was happy and not wanting to burst into tears all day... that only works for so long....
We are doing a musical number for our mission president and his wife. They are leaving really soon. Our district is doing "Love is Spoken Here" at our conference with them tomorrow. I'm playing the piano for it ;) (love that I get to do this because I get out of singing). It reminds me of my grandpa's funneral and when all us cousins did that beautiful musical number :)

We just got done making a huge batman pinata for one of the Elders. It's pretty legit! Actually... it's way more than legit. I don't want to break it.... I am pretty proud of my artistic ability on this one, espeically because I actually have none ;)

Anyways. Sorry for boring you with this one. I'm boring myself writing it.
I love all of you so much!
Love, Sister Calder
