Week 44

SORRY THIS IS SOOO LATE!!!!!!!!!! Anywho. Here you go!

Hello family!

Transfers were this week. Lots of exciting changes! President has felt that missionaries need to stay in an area for 8 months and with an companion for 4. It is inspired. The members usually really like it. :)

I am now with Sister Dumont from Riverton Utah. :) She is incredible. I have only had incredible companions. Hopefully that is a good sign? Sister Dumont is the most positive missionary. She loves people to death and has a powerful testimony of the gospel. I have a lot to learn from her.

We are still over 8 sets of sisters. I love the Nebraska Omaha mission. I know there is so much potential here and I know as all of us missionaries rise to a new level of commitment and obedience, miracles will happen.

David is set for baptism! We went to a big family history expo where a member of our ward asked us to man the front desk. We did and david came. He sat down by us and we had a lesson with him and set him for baptism! It was powerful. Strange at times because different members of the ward and stake would come up, introduce themselves, bear testimony to him and teach him another lesson then leave. Needless to say, David was a little overwhelmed, BUT he still was excited to set a date. :) It was a testimony to me that the spirit takes care of it. I am not sure if david really heard everything, but I know he felt the spirit and that is why he wants to be baptized.

He is 19 though, so this week we need to give him over to the YSA sisters. It is for the best! Especially since the YSA sisters haven't had a baptism forever. I know they are getting david because they are working hard and being obedient.

I hope you are all reading the Book of Mormon everyday and making good goals. President Weston sent us this quote this morning.

"The tragedy in life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach." Benjamin Mays.

I am really beginning to understand how essential it is to study the Book of Mormon everyday, personally and as a family. Not only is it a commandment, but it our greatest preparation tool for what is coming! If you are not studying it daily, please start. Do it personally and as a family. I promise, as a representative of Jesus Christ that as you study the Book of Mormon, you will receive answers to your questions, you will be given greater power to make your weaknesses strengths and you will have the spirit more in your life.

I am seeing this more and more everyday, so I know it is true. I know Jesus Christ is our Savior. I know this is the Lords kingdom once again established on the earth.

I love you all dearly and only plead with you to study the Book of Mormon daily because I love you.

Have a great week!
Love,
Sister Call
