In the strength of the Lord, I can do ALL things : Week 36 (12/9/13)

This week we learned to laugh. A lot. Hahahaha we talked about "Come what may and LOVE it" in DM and we just made a goal to laugh at everything. It's been working out really well haha :) everything is hilarious and fun.

I am being transferred. I dunno why, and it's been really hard for me to accept. It caught me completely off guard (like the girls camp song). But, I guess I am needed somewhere else! Which is crazy to think because I love it here so much. I think I have a problem with change eh?

I love Sister Beck so much! We've gotten along so well and have really done some awesome work here! Our members called us the dynamic duo! They are kind of upset.... one of my favorite people here is a 9 year old named Maggie. We're best friends. She came into sacrament meeting just balling and we hugged for a while. That made it real, and it stunk :( huuuhhhh. Who knows where I'll go. I'll find out tomorrow.

Ernie got in a car accident this week. It actually was a miracle. We had been having a really off and kind of frustrating day. Then our ZL's text us and tell us that we have to go and take a survey that we had forgotten to take. We don't have a key to our family history library so after 30 minutes and a bunch of miles we were so frustrated cuz the GPS was leading us to a fake library we decided to just use the miles to go all the way up to the Lakeland Library. We did and in the middle of taking the survey we get a call from Ernie... he was in an ambulance and told us that he's been hit by a car. We were able to call him and meet him at the library which was literally a mile from where we were. His wife Ashley was at work and wouldn't be able to get there till a little bit later. So we went there and got there right after he arrived in the ambulance. Sister Beck sang to him as he got a shot and he said that it comforted him so much to have us there because no one else could get there till a lot later.

He's ok! He got hit on his bike... he bikes with us sometimes and says that he always prayes that he will get his and not us. So he says that it's an answer to his prayers... SAD! He's just my adopted dad. I love him so much. It was really hard to say goodbye. He even called right after we'd said goodbye and told me I needed to come back cuz I stole his heart haha ;) I love him and Ashley. He says I'm his adopted daughter. :) I love it.

Anyways. Miracle that we were right there by the hospital for some crazy reason. It was great!

I have facebook now... Sister-Nicole Calder... but I cannot add people from home. So please don't be mad if you see it and I dont' add you. It's really strict...

I love this work SO MUCH! I'm going to miss Lakeland/Mulberry so much and all the amazing member here!

Better things are ahead...

I love you all!

Love, Sister Calder :)
