Week 79- Boy Howdy, what a week!

First off, this beautiful lady was baptized!

Sister Teria Turner, what a wonderful lady. She has such a funny lady! AH! I wish you could hear her speak. Sister Chamberlain calls them 'Ism's' (mannerism's). When she is sitting down she is always bouncing her legs. And that's just one. She is one quirky lady.

Teria's a miracle though. The sisters have been working with her for years now and she finally decided to be baptized. We had to get permission from the first presidency because Teria mentally has a condition where she is, well, just too nice! She really cannot say no, including to those times when she especially needs to.. eech.

I really don't want to say this for lack of cliche'ness, but she really was glowing in a sense yesterday when she was confirmed in Sacrament meeting.

Super neat thing about Teria as well. She has short term memory loss, and Sister Dobb and Chamberlain (before I got here) promised her that she would be able to remember the more of the Book of Mormon that she reads.

Guess what.

Teria knows and remembers more about the Book of Mormon than Sister Call does.

Let's just take a second and realize the reality of that miracle.

The Purcell kids are also doing so well! We love those crazy kids, Isaiah and Veronica and all their cousins! And miracles, Veronica told us yesterday that she is wanting to get baptized! Before hand, Isaiah was mainly on board. One of their 4 year old cousins, William, who is the son of Sister Smith, Sister Purcell's active sister, ( sorry, I know that's super confusing) told me that he was going to marry me when he was 14. He couldn't wait till 16 though because then he would be too old and dying soon. Well..okay William. :) They're a cute family, I'll make sure to send a picture next week of them.

So my companions are incredible. Sister Chamberlain is from Salt Lake with about 5 kids in her family. She is a 'hipster' and feels the music of the gospel! She is a complete goober and is working on a few lightness and frivolity toning downs but in all reality, is helping Sister Call stop being such a stick in the mud. :) When she opens her mouth and teaches, it's so personal and applied to them, the spirit so easily fills the room. I love her.

Sister Sorensen is go and do. She is extremely diligent and is here to work. The 3 months she was home re-committed her so much to the work. It's pretty inspiring. :) She's from Spring City, Utah and has 5 kids in the fam-bam. They were both born into the church. She is also SO humble. Really wanting to be better and improve.

I love the work. Dad, I had an incredible experience during Sacrament yesterday that had to do with the scriptures in 3 Nephi that you put into the front of my quad right before I left. I'll share a little bit in next week's email but make sure to share the details with you..soon enough I guess :)

I love you all! Keep the faith,

Sister Call

1 and 2) The night before her baptism and her baptism

3)So we were out tracking in about 110 degree weather or so, not having too much success. Well, I am here to testify of the Lord's humor. At the end of this long street, there was this random trophy just conveniently place right dab in the middle of the sidewalk. "Good job my kiddos" We all busted up laughing and had to take some dumb photos. What a loving and REAL Father in Heaven we have. :)
