This week was GREAT! Well, to be honest, I had a really hard time actually. Homesickness about killed me. I never thought that I would ever have the thought cross my mind that I wanted to go home. But I thought about it. It really was only for like 5 minutes. But I was just so sick of being away from everyone. Don't freak out though.... one of the sisters told me that's completely normal and I shouldn't feel bad, just don't do it. And guess what, I won't ;) hahaha. It gets hard, harder than I ever thought. We have been biking like crazy and our bodies are exhausted by the end of the day. I would like to proudly say that I have not gotten sunburned in a while :) thanks to my mom sending me some great sunscreen :)
We had a cool experience this week. We always pray that Heavenly Father will lead us to those who we need to teach and that we will follow those promptings. I also know that thousands of other people pray for that as well. Well- I would like to let you know that IT WORKS. Every single day we are in situations that are only because we listen to the spirit! We were at a farmers market talking to people. We thought we should leave but as we did Sister Whipple said that she thought that we should stay a little longer for some reason. Neither of us knew why... but we did. Then after 5minutes we left and headed to Pollo Tropical for lunch. We went to sit down and before we did this man looked at us and said- "Hey? Are you Mormons." Of course we said yes and asked him how he knew. He said our faces and the way that we were dressed. We asked him if he even saw the name tag and he was like- "Oh! I didn't even notice." We basically gave him the first lesson while we were eating. We realized how amazing it was that the spirit told us to stay there a little longer so that we could meet up with him at that time. It was AMAZING!!!! We see these things happen every single day sometimes they just aren't as big. Dawn has a baptisimal date again for Aug 3rd! We are so happy for her! It's funny how much love I have for her. It's very christ-like (I hear) the way that you will come to love your investigators on your mission.
I really want to encourage all of you to go to the website Hastening the Work of Salvation. You can find it through LDS.org. I know I say this every time, but I cannot stress how important it is. My comp said it's kind of like the restoration. This AMAZING life changing thing happened with Joseph Smith and NO ONE KNEW. Same thing with the brodcast. This happened and we all need to see!
Anyways! I love you all so much! Hope you have an amazing week!
Love, Sister Calder :)
