Sister Callista Chaffin: Week 6: No mas Hurricanes

We are safe so far in this hurricane madness! We just barely got some rain today and some wind, but not too bad!

We have been working a lot with the Bertoldo's still. Alex is just amazing! He just got Baptized and is already asking questions about deep doctrine stuff that sometimes I don't even know! I love him and his family and have basically given my life to them these past few weeks!

Mathias is not on a baptismal date anymore. It was very odd, we went to go visit him and he was walking his dog with his friend and some other friends that we haven't met and it's like he didn't know us. But It's okay, he needs to mature and take things a little more seriously before he makes a big decision.

There is this less active/ recent convert to the church that we have been helping and their daughter is now really wanting to take more of the lessons again! So many miracles this week!

We had a lesson with Elizabeth and she was able to open up a lot more an we were able to help her with reading the book of Mormon and we will be teaching her more often in a week to help here read because she is very busy and lots of of duties to do as a mom who works basically 2 jobs! I love her to death, she is so sweet and I can't wait to help her find her relationship with Jesus Christ and understanding His love for her!

This week we were at a person's who had been taught before and:
1st miracle, she let us in, and we were able to teach her a lesson! and ; 2nd miracle is that on our way out, she had ordered dinner and a guy we had taught 2 weeks prior, (with a member family but we didn't get his number,) was the person who was delivering the food! So then we were able to talk with him and get his number so that we can help him find out how much God loves him specifically, and how much God wants to be in his life. Nico, (the guy,) let's God in his life!!! AMAZING THINGS HAPPENING! :)

Lesson learned this week is to LISTEN TO THE SPIRIT & DON'T OVERTHINK!

Allowing the grace of the Atonement of Jesus Christ into one's life is the most beautiful and meaningful thing a person could ever do! <3

I love you all and I know God is aware of each of you no matter what, we all matter to him! That's why we have been created and sent here to learn and grow! <3

Always love,

Sister Callista Chaffin

This was Friday when we definitely thought the hurricane was gonna hit, but it never rained until Monday!

All the bread was going because of everyone getting ready for the "hurricane"! our President told us at the end of last week to stock p on some water and some food to be safe because we didn't know how it would hit us!
