Sister Callista Chaffin: Week 10: The Jedi & the Padawaun

This week was some real good stuff!

"Sister Kay you are a Jedi and Sister Chaffin is your Padawan!! ...The force is strong with you two!" said Brother Bertoldo (Recently baptized person in the church, we are teaching his children!)
Sure love that man! His heart is converted to the Lord and nothing is stopping him!

This week was hills and valleys! We had some amazing lesson and a a little bit of a hard time really finding, but that's always a difficulty!

Sofia: We taught her on Thursday. She is such a missionary and she isn't even baptized! We taught her follow the Prophet, importance of Jesus Christ, and keeping the Sabbath day holy! She already wants to tell her friends no to hanging out on Sundays! I love her!

William (her little brother): We taught him on Wednesday night while Sister Kay was in another area and another missionary, Sister Royle was with me! Once again he taught us the the lesson of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! It was actually my first lesson I led! He just wants to jump into the font and get baptized. But difficulties with the mom.

This is the Bertoldo family they are just amazing! I love them with all my heart! 💜There comes a time in ones mission when you know why you are there at that time for a reason. And I know that I am here for this family at this time! Time to help this family be together forever! :)

Savannah: She is actually really good friends with Sofia now! God really does work in mysterious ways! Savannah is awesome! We are helping her come closer and closer to baptism as well, she is so sweet and loving!

Brother Naim: Wasn't able to meet with him this week but he is reading lots of the Book of Mormon and praying a lot! he is the sweetest little man and he loves people!!

Elizabeth: We taught her on Wednesday night as well! We taught the lesson: "The Gospel of Jesus Christ! I love teaching that lesson because it is the core to all the lessons! And this is where it gets really deep! We showed a video by Jeffery R. Holland to her called "The Savior Understands Me" https://www.lds.org/media-library/video/2016-03-0021-the-savior-understands-me?lang=eng (I for sure recommend watching it!!) it was perfect for her and the spirit was there. I didn't even have to think to speak. The words just fell out of my mouth. After a rough day trying my best, with all my effort to lead out my area for the first time, without Sister Kay (my trainer), I led the lesson, not even knowing what was happening I gained the revelation necessary to guide and find and teach the people in my area. This literally blew my mind. I never believed I could ever do it but the Lord PROVIDES.

After Sister Kay came back from exchanges, I told her how many miracles there were and she said that I was no longer a Padawan! 😊What even?! I love the Holy Ghost and all that it does in our lives!

I got a question this week, "without the gospel where would you be"? I really had no clue how to answer that! I would not be where I am today, or as happy as I am today if it weren't for the Gospel and all that it gives me and all that I see it helping and guiding others to a happier fuller life with a purpose!! :)

Acts 5:41,42
"41 And they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name.
42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ."

Rejoice that you are counted worthy!! :)

Love you all, have a great week!

Always Love <3
