Week 24: 2 Baptism in 24 Hours


Hope everyone's week was great!

"Our happiness depends on how we react to what happens around us." -Unknown

This week was CHAOS. The only word to explain it, CHAOS.
Last Sunday we didn't have church because of the snow, but we had dinner with a Brother in the Chinese Branch Presidency and he blessed the sacrament for us. This was such a blessing because this week we really needed it! We had to make the decision whether we were going to baptize Sister Khailtash Harley this week before Sister Kay goes home! And on Tuesday we made this decision!! ON Monday and Tuesday our Cars were not allowed to be driven because of the snow so we walked everywhere, even to the grocery store. It was crazy.. walking like 5 miles in 3 hours! Sister Khailtash Harley has decided to be baptized on Tuesday right before we walked out of her house, after we had meditated and she saw and smelled pink roses, we found, at the bottom of the stairs, a celestial pink rose! one single rose in the freezing cold of a winter night, laying there. I stared at it for a few seconds and didn't believe it was a real flower! We then had no doubt she was getting baptized that weekend! Planning 2 baptisms in one week was insane! We needed interviews and paperwork and people to do certain things all in line for Friday and Saturday! I have never prayed harder for these baptism to go through! but they turned out! Sister Khailtash Harley's Testimony was absolutely beautiful, we almost cried! I definitely almost cried when she was standing in the font to be baptized by out Stake President! She was crying before she went in the font, and I have never her such a profound "Thank you for everything" when she hugged me, in my entire life! There was many doubts with in this process, but Gods wills come through as it always does, and miracles happen whether we think it is or not. 
With Savannah, her confirmation was beautiful!! 

I have a new companion tomorrow, her name is Sister Wood and  I am so exited to be her companion!! I will also be adjusting to being a Single Sister Training Leader!

Love you all! 
Look for God's tender mercies every day, they are there!

Always Love,
Sister Callista Chaffin
