Well honestly... this week was pretty slow. We didn't get to meet with hardly anyone and with the holidays no one is home and no one wants to talk to us. We had a fun 4th of July with the Elders. We went to a parade, which some people thought we were a part of.... hahaha they kept asking us who we were with and we would yell, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints! It was pretty hilarious ;) We went and got this YUMMY thing called Gelati at a place called Rico's! Which is where Lazero who was on American Idol worked. They even had a creepy pic of him on the wall. It was so good. And the closest thing to a snow cone that I've had here, so I'm not complainin' haha. We did some other things, mainly played this new game we made up with a small ball and hymn books. That was pretty much the best. Then most of our zone met up at Olive Garden for dinner. That was pretty fun. Especially cuz we went with our recent convert who is going through the temple on Saturday.
I AM STAYING. Sister Andersen is getting transfered to Brooksville which is the most North you can go without leaving the mission. She went from the most North, to the most South. Crazy right? I have heard that my new comp Sister Whipple is AWESOME. She was in the MTC with Elder Chamberlin and was Sister Larrabee's comp in the MTC. They both love her. I am so sad to be leaving Sister Andersen, but I'm excited for the change!
We met our new mission president on Friday. He and his wife are so young! It's crazy! Their 15 year old daughter reminds me of Katelyn and her name is Kate! I am pretty much best friends with her now ;) They have been so strong and faithful in leaving everything and answering to the call of the Lord. It's amazing! I know they are going to be great! But we miss President and Sister Summerhayes so much already! President sure left his mark though. Our whole zone is changing. There is only 2 companionships that they aren't making changes too and that's because they just came out last transfer. Everything else is getting switched up a lot. We are excited though!
Also- I dissected a lizard. I have a 10 minute video of it. Actually- I dissected 2. It was pretty dope. The Elder caught them for me and then put them in their freezer. I bought an exacto knife and I ripped them open. That is probably way too much TMI I know.... but it was pretty fun. Plus those lizards are EVERYWHERE! They are literally like flies in Utah.... actually there are probably more lizards than that. So no judging ;) haha. I thought I would give you something exciting to ready since this week has been really slow.
Last night we planked everywhere. That was pretty fun.
Tonight we are having an oreo party....
We haven't been able to get a hold of Dawn. Her phones aren't working.She's still up in the homeless shelter, but we know she still wants to get baptized.
Michella moved back to Utah so we are hoping to get an email from her soon of her in white :)
Amy is in Utah this week so we haven't been able to meet with her either.

It's been kind of crazy as you can tell.
Remember that 11 year old girl? Well, we got to talk to her! She's still interested, but we have her moms number now we are going to call her and get some things worked out so she can come to church!
We got caught in a huge rain storm.... ok actually.... that happens every single day haha.
I went on exchanges on Tuesday and took over the area for a day. That was pretty fun!
I'm loving getting letters from all of you. But again, I always write right back so it could have gotten lost on the way to you or me :( let me know if that happnes cuz I don't want to lose contact with anyone!
I love you all so much!
OH!
And I wanted to tell everyone how proud I am of my Sister Ashley. I got to watch the video of her opening her call cuz I was at a members house and my mom was able to send it to her. It was amazing. I cannot even tell you how excited I have been this whole week. I'm telling everyone about my amazing Sister who has decided to serve a mission! I love her so much and am so proud to call her my sister! The Phillippines! They are going to LOVE HER! But probably not as much as I love her :)
Thank you all for your support and prayers! They are needed and I can feel them!
Love, Sister Calder
