On this week's episode of Sister Cale in Delaware-the sisters worked so hard and did so much that neither of them is entirely sure about what happened during the majority of the week and then performed the Sister's Show ALL Weekend.
Hello Wonderful Loves!
I am so grateful for the genius that is the modern communication of e-mail. Seriously, I really think I might die if I had to wait for letters all the time (this is by no means a suggestion that anyone should stop sending letters via mail. I LOVE getting letters in the mail. Opening an empty mailbox at the end of a really long day is basically a punch in the face from Satan...or at least, it can become that if you aren't smart enough to tell Satan to shut up.)
Good and wonderful things have happened this week. We've had the opportunity to teach the first lesson a few times and have been where Heavenly Father needed us to be. I think that's one of the craziest parts about missionary work to me-when we pray about where we're supposed to be, Heavenly Father puts us there. Every single time when our plans change we get a little skeptical and have to wonder if we're doing what we're supposed to, but inevitably we end up being where someone needed us and that really is a remarkable feeling.
One of our biggest projects this week was getting things pulled together to have a movie night at Ohio Wesleyan. If I haven't bragged about how incredible the Chaplaincy Staff is at OWU, let me proceed to do so again. They are seriously brilliant! I can't get over the fact that they are so willing and excited to help us put on an event. We're calling it "Mormons, Movie, and Munchies, Oh My" and hope that we'll be able to show "Meet the Mormons". The Elders in our ward, Elder Farr and Elder Morris are on movie acquiring detail, so if that doesn't pan out we'll be showing The Testaments. Sister Hibbert drew an amazing sketch of the four missionaries hosting the event (so us and the Zone Leaders) and the Catholic Chaplain Mary printed them out on her big printer for us. We've invited members and they're going to help bring the munchies part of the evening. That will be next Monday night, so stay tuned on how that all turns out.
This weekend was kind of the Sister Missionary Show. The ward had a talent show on Saturday night, and Sister Hibbert and I signed up to sing after much needling from Sister Padula. With the help of the Gayer's and the Johnson's we were able to sing "For Good" from Wicked. The ward seemed to really like it and it was such a fun event. The Delaware Ward is seriously the coolest ward in all the Great Ohio Land (disregard my current lack of experience in other wards). On Sunday we were able to speak in Sacrament Meeting. I told you, this weekend was the Sister Missionary Show. I spoke on finding spiritual light in General Conference using President Uchtdorf's last General Conference Talk (https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2014/10/receiving-a-testimony-of-light-and-truth?lang=eng). Go and read, it's a great talk! Last night we got to sing in the Missionary Choir at the Missionary Fireside in Reynoldsburg...which is somewhere in Ohio about an hour away from us. At the fireside they showed the new Easter video that the church is putting out this year-Because He Lives. Be excited! It's genius!
We had a Zone Activity this morning and now we're at the library e-mailing. I'm excited to see what happens this week. Surely some sort of silly adventures.
I love you all so much! Write the snail mail. It makes missionaries happy :)
The Church is True, Life is Good, God's in Charge, and Satan Hates You (seriously, Satan really hates all of you...like a lot. Don't let the jerk win).
