Week 15 (7/16/13)


So this week has been really great. I got a new companion her name is Sister Whipple :) She is AWESOME! It's funny though, I didn't think I would miss Sister Andersen as much as I do! But I'll see her again so no worries ;)
Hilight of the week.... I totall fell off my bike.... twice... in one day.... I vowed I would never fall off my bike cuz only weird Sister missionaries do that.... and I totally did. I swear I know how to ride a bike! And I know how to get back on the sidewalk when you go off.... that's how I did it... I caught the curb just at the right angle. It was crazy! Like... I should be more injured than I am. I have no doubt Heavenly Father is protecting me! Sister Whipple was riding behind me... I was right at a busy intersection too hahahaha oh man. It's still funny. Just imagine how a dummy would look falling off a bike. That was it. My elbow didn't catch me, but neither did my hand.. my head was the first thing to hit the ground. THANK GOODNESS FOR HELMETS! WEAR YOUR HELMETS! Haha It was so funny. My shoulder is still pretty sore from it, but nothing else! Sister Whipple and I had to stop riding a couple times cuz we were laughing SO hard! It was hilarious! We are telling everyone about it cuz it was so funny! We laughed with so many people and they didn't even see it ;) then later that night I literally did the same thing. There was a pile of Palm Tree leaves in the middle of the sidewalk so I went off of it and for some reason AGAIN I fell off. Sister Whipple was in the front so she didn't see, but she said that she saw me coming out of the pile. I probably looked pretty heroic. ;) Jokes. Or like a crazy person. That was for sure it. ;) That time I got a good scrape on my elbow ;) but still! It could have been worse! Then on Sunday Sister Whipple fell off her bike. That one was in a neighboorhood and she got really scraped up! She even had gravel in her hand! We didn't laugh at the one... cuz it was way more sad. But I told her it was carma for laughing so hard at me... even though I laughed really hard at myself cuz it was pathetic. The Elders are still laughing at it as well ;)
We also have seen like a million dead things on the ground.... A rabbit, raccoon, turtle, armadillo, snake, frog, lizard.... everything! Being on bike is seriosuly the best hahaha and that's not even a joke.
Cool thing- We got an assignment from President. He picked only a couple Elders and Sister for this. He thought we were obedient so we could do it! We get extra time today to go over the website "Hastening the Work" if you haven't gone on or have seen the brodcast, DO IT NOW. I'm not kidding. It's SO important. So we will be training our members on it and using that website more. He trusts us I guess.... ;) He also asked me if my facebook was appropriate. I was able to say YES! So I will be using facebook soon I guess... hahaha they will have to go over it just to make sure.... but really I'm not sure exactly how that will be working. Everything is slowly getting different. I'm just glad that I am able to be a part of it! President said that in the MTC they said in 20 years we will be astonished and so proud that we were on our missions at this time.
Sorry! I don't have much time! We've just been doing a lot finding so I don't have much to say!
I love you all so much! Don't forget to go to the website!
For all you missionaries..... well... that means everyone ;)
"If we state who we are, representatives of Jesus Christ. They will NEVER forget that."

Love- Sister Calder :)
