Sorry this one will be short. I run out of time when I am emailing people back and forth :)
This week we had a district meeting where we did a thing called "I love you because" one missionary goes up there and goes around and tells each missionary why they love them. I thought it would be weird. But it was so cool! It was very spiritual and build my confidence more than I thought! People told me how they loved that I laughed a lot and that I made everything fun. They said I am not afraid to be myself, but I recognize that I am a representative of Jesus Christ. I loved it! Plus I have come to realize that I remind a lot of the Elders of their sisters... I guess I really don't act my age haha ;)
On Tuesday we had a huge strom. There was about 8 inches of water on the ground and I was the only one who could drive! It was freaky! The Elders said that is what a hurricane is like. So now we are prepared :) Heavenly Father is watching over us that's for sure!
Michella is moving back to Utah but we taught her all the lessons so she is ready to be baptized! We love her so much and can't wait for her to become a memeber of this amazing church! We are still working with her parents, but they say the more they see, the more they love about our church :)
We have a new investigator named Amy. She was a referal from mormon.org. She is AMAZING! We serisouly love her!!!!!!! She is so ready and prepared and we haven't even taught her the first lesson!
We made s'mores over our stove with stuff my mom sent me.
We found cotton candy ice cream (sooooo gooooooodddd!!!)
We eat fresh mangos and coconuts like they are going out of style!
I tried yummy Haitian bread! It's just like layers and layers of bread. It's so thick and yummy!
I got my first violation on the tiwi (we are like the only mission to have these great things in our car that record our driving. I got an RPM violation..... the car goes pretty fast....)
Dawn had surgery but is doing really good! She showed up to church on Sunday! She rode a bus from a place that is an hour away just to be at church! We might have to hand her over to other Elders, but we will see. She's ready to be baptized!
It's amazing how much the members have been helping since that broadcast! Our meal calender is FULL and more and more people want to come out with us. Sunday was focused all on missionary work. The 3 Elders in our ward spoke and the 3rd hour was the bishop talking about how they can help us. We love it! It's amazing what happnes when member and missionaries work together because we are all doing the same work! We are basically just here to help the members. :)
"We are making history." Don't miss it guys :) this is a once and a lifetime opportuity. Grab it while you can!!! Missionary work is the greatest thing in the world! Don't be afraid to share what you love with those you love!
"An invitation that is born of love for one another and love for our Savior will never come off as offensive."
"It's His work. If we do our best we CANNOT fail"
"Help is always there if we have faith"
"There is no line when it comes to preaching the gospel to every creature. Whether they have never heard it- or whether they have heard and forgotten."
I love that last one by Elder Nelson. It's so true. We need to focus on the members that may be falling, and then we will be blessed with new ones :)
I love you all so much! Keep up the good work! Don't forget to always be a missionary!!!! :) Write or email me if you need help with ways to share the gospel or if you are afraid. I'm here to help!
Love- Sister Calder :)
OH! And just to let you know I always write people back in 1-2 days. So if I haven't written you back please don't think I hate you. I either didn't get it, or it got lost in the mail. I love you again! Thanks for you letters by the way! :)
