Sister Callista Chaffin: Week 11: He Loveth The World

This week was pretty good!

On Tuesday we taught Sofia and William in the same lesson, that was a mistake. At least they both testified that the spirit was there and that they knew that the things that we were saying were true! After the lesson, there Mom came home and we were able to talk to Rosa! :) Rosa is my favorite and I am so excited to be able to get to know her as we have these lessons later! :)

The big thing that really happened was that we were invited to the huge Halloween party that supposedly had at least 600 people at this family's house who goes to our church! There was Synchronized Swimmers from Hollywood there. we as missionaries didn't actually get to see the performance of the "Water Lilies" (the synchronized swimmers) but I heard it was crazy cool! plus flame throwers and Irish dancers Persian and Mexican foood, that was delicious and alllll free! It really was something else!! We were there to help to hand out tickets, to be the first people the people see and interact with when they first come to the party! we also had a family history tent us and the Elders got to pass out some Book of Mormons and Family History cards! That was this last Saturday. We were there for 7 hours and standing, about the whole time! didn't know how we did it, but it is what was need to be done!

We read The Book of Mormon with Elizabeth Saturday night. It went really well, we think that as we start to help her understand the reason for scriptures,she will want to come to church and make the time for it!

This Sunday was great! We had the Primary program and in it was THE CUTEST little kids! AGH I almost cried! The Primary program is what I needed this week to end my week off right :) The Halloween Party was so much and it drained Sister Kay and I.

Heavenly Father is aware of your needs always! And he knows how to help you! I plead to all to pray with the desires of your heart to God to allow Him to enter into your life and bless you! :)

A Child prayer:

"Heavenly Father are you really there?

And do you hear and answer every Child's prayer?

Some say that Heaven is far away, but I feel it closer every time I pray.

Pray, he is there, speak, he is listening

you are His child,

His love now surrounds you"

2 Nephi 26:24,25

24 "He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world; for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw all men unto him. Wherefore, he commandeth none that they shall not partake of his salvation.

25 Behold, doth he cry unto any, saying: Depart from me? Behold, I say unto you, Nay; but he saith: Come unto me all ye ends of the earth, buy milk and honey, without money and without price.

Always love,
