Week 51 (3/24/14)



Okay I PROMISE that I'm not being like over optimistic or anything…. but this week was pretty much the bomb too. We've just seen SO many miracles!! :) 

Something cool I've realized is how much I've been able to not only teach by the spirit, but teach simply as well. You know how they say the more you learn the more you are able to teach simply? Well it's totally true! I love it!! :) I have seen how much I've been able to talk to non members and explain things that they understand. We're constantly thinking about non-members for everything! You can usually see us cringing in sacrament meeting or trying to distract people when people go deeper than deep. Which seems to happen in our ward a lot… it must be the old ladies. 

When I first came out on my mission I really wanted to tell everyone that families can be together forever! But now along with that, my real goal is to make people happy! Mainly because the gospel brings SO much happiness into my life and I want other to have that same JOY! 
It's cool :) 

It's spring break so it's been CRAZY here! The traffic is awful and it's taking us a lot longer to get places! We're living in a vacation place… I think I just forgot that. 

We're doing a 5K on Saturday! We're SUPER excited! Fun finding activities! :D

I got to talk to Ernie and Ashley on the phone :) they were planning on coming down this weekend but stuff got messed up. So in a couple weeks they will come down here and go to church with us and then on p-day we'll hangout and go to the beach and stuff. I'M SOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D I love those guys so much! 

We got to have dinner with our mission president on Tuesday! He took us to this awesome place. it was pretty fun. It was about 6 sets of sisters and then him, Sister Cusick, and Kate. Pres asked Sister Upshaw and I why we were so happy… all we could say was- "WE JUST LOVE EACH OTHER!" Hopefully he'll keep us together longer….

I ate sushi for the first time and actually liked it! One had tuna… one had crab… and one had shrimp! There ya go. Branching out…. we go to lunch every week with the YW president and one of the young women who's having a hard time. SHe loves it!!!! She seems happier and we just love her!

Our less active work has been taking off! We have seen so much success and we love it!!!! :D 

We set a date with Terri Taddle! We're SUPER excited for her! 

Yeah. That's a good run down. Boring email eh? Sorry!! Everything is just great :) 

I love you all! 


Love, Sister Calder
