Week 33

Hello Family!
This week has been the craziest week of my life. Sister Page and I were reflecting back on it and we agree. So on Monday we received a phone call from a sister we are over. She is opening a new area in Kansas. She was really struggling. President Weston called us and asked us to go to Kansas. So we did. I couldn't believe I was in Kansas. :) What started with a trip to Kansas ended in a emergency transfer, an emergency exchange and a trip down to omaha. All and all we have been on the road for over 15 hours this week. We will be taking a nap today.
Through all of this, it was incredible to see Heavenly Father guiding and directing all of us. I have been thinking why did that all have to happen? What was the reason for it? I don't feel like I know exactly what is was for besides seeing how this is the Lords work. I am not in charge, He is. Once we think that we are the ones that are in charge, we get in trouble and need to humble ourselves. That is what happened to me this week. President called us and spoke to us about what to do in the situation and at the end he told us, "remember sisters, this is the Lords work. This isn't about you. " I have been thinking a lot about that. I really needed to hear it. It is when we humble ourselves that miracles happen.
I gave a talk in church yesterday all about the atonement. I love the quote in Preach my Gospel. "When our understanding of the atonement increases, our desire to share the gospel will increase." This was the main focus of my talk. I just said that this is the reason I am out on a mission, because of the atonement. How has all of your missionary work been going? Have you invited someone to take the lessons in our home this Christmas!?? That would be the best Christmas gift ever!! What better way to show someone that you care? To show Christ that you love him? Share it with someone else.
Life is great! I love it out here and wouldn't want to be anywhere else! The Book of Mormon is true! Study it every day and you will become converted!
I love you all! Have an incredible week and look for this little miracles!!
Love,
Sister Call
Stella and her Children, Anna and Estevan are from Colombia. They are investigators and came to the Christmas party! I love them to death!!
Me and Sister Page on an exchange! Such an incredible opportunity to go on exchanges so often and see miracles all over Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa! Sister Page is fantastic. Love her.
