First I would like to say this freaks me out.... I have really just been realizing how many people actually read this. So. Much. Pressure. So... I kind of forgot what went on this week cuz I didn't write it down before I came here! It's been pretty slow. Week 6 ya know... but I'm staying Naples for 4 more weeks! This transfer is only 4 weeks cuz we need to line up with the Haitian missionaries coming from the MTC. We are pretty excited!
We found a turtle shell. We made a pinky promise that we would pick up the next turtle that we found on the side of the road. We always take pictures but never pick them up. There are these things called snapping turtles that look.... really freaky. Like a mix of a dinosaur and alligator mushed into a turtle. So... you have to polk them with a stick to make sure they aren't one of those or we could lose a finger or something. So we poked it... and there was nothing in there! It was awesome... and so stinky. Good thing we were heading home for the night so Sister Whipple just held it while we barfed cuz of the stench. Then we put in on our lani (Ok.... what the. How do you spell that word!?)..... the screen door thing on our back porch. Then we boild some water and put it in a bucket. Hopefully that helped... we haven't checked on it yet....
Oh! We went to a Cathoic mass on Saturday! Michella's parents invited us! It was pretty interesting. We learned A LOT and already that knowledge from that has helped us connect better with people and teach people since there are lots of cathoics here. And it really helped me know better for myself that this is the true church. Honesly. I didn't have any doubts before, but now I really don't have any! We were so glad they invited us and everyone was so nice there. We are planning on going to a baptist church soon. It really was such a neat experience! Then Michelle and her dad came to church on Sunday! She is all set for being baptized on Friday and we couldn't be more excited for her! We had a crazy Saturday with the mass and then 2 baptisms in our ward! But it was so much fun!
You know how they say lock your heart? Well, Sister Miles gave me a real key to my heart! It's so awsome!!!!! Now it's locked for sure!
Eternal Families. That's what it's all about :) I love my family so much and am SO grateful for them in my life! I love sharing this message with other people! This is the best time of my life! I wouldn't trade it for anything! I love you all! Thanks for your letter of support and encouragment!
Never forget to stand for what you know to be true!
I love you!
Love, Sister Calder
