Week 59 (5/19/14)

DAVID GOT BAPTIZED ON

TUESDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't even know if I can explain my happiness! :D

Ah.

Best. Day. EVER! :D

I really wish everyone could just feel like this all the time! It

hasn't worn off all week ;)

David is the first person that I've seen go all the way through and

change his whole life around in 2 weeks to be baptized! You always

hear those miracle stories, it's just so humbling and special to be a

part of it all!

Our bishop said he doesn't think he's ever seen someone so happy to be

baptized. :) David was grinning from ear to ear the whole time.

It was a really small baptism. Mainly because we haven't had ward

counsel for 2 weeks because of Mothers Day and the temple dedication,

and that's about how much time it took us to get him prepared for his

baptism :) but it was really spiritual. We tried really hard to bring

the spirit and people could feel it :) this was Sister Orfilas last

day :( but it was so special :) all 3 of us sang "I am a Child of God"

while I played the piano. Oh man. It was just great :) he was so happy

and that's all that really matters :)

Our ward has been really amazing in reaching out to David! He keeps

telling us that he's so happy to be a part of a big family! And he

really is! When he received the Holy Ghost yesterday he was glowing :)

everyone came and introduced themselves to him. He also relieved the

priesthood. So cool. :)

Sister Orfila has gone back to temple square :( perks of being by

President- he took us out to Golden Corral with the other temple suare

sister and her comp and all the senior couples! It was really fun!

We fulfilled out life long dream of catching a duck.

But we don't have a picture.... We will get one though!

Transfer calls are Saturday!

We have this cool new system that our mission president made up. It's

called "RAIN." It is a system to rain on all the seeds we planted! We

get peoples emails and put them into a system where the office elders

send out a spirally uplifting email every couple of weeks. The cool

thing is that they keep track of everything so I could get an email in

10 years telling me that one of my seeds was planted!! Cool eh?

Anyways. :) seeing other people coming to Christ is the coolest thing

in the world. And the happiest I've EVER been! :) I gave a talk on

Sunday about the blessings of being a missionary work, and the main

thing I could think of was always having the spirit, and having true

joy :) ah. I love it.

The gospel is completely true!!! :D

I love you guys!

Love, Sister Calder :)

"What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be

against us?"

Super Hilarious!
