here's a picture of the district here in Waterford.
So, I am still in Waterford. I have survived another moves
call. Haha. However, this transfer is the last transfer I will be with Elder
Watson because he is dying this transfer. So I am killing my trainer.
Hope you guys had a happy Easter! Last Saturday there was a
branch cultural event. It was really neat. We all got to learn a little bit
about other cultures. Irish songs were sung and there was even a presentation
on China. We invited a friend of one of the members to it, his name is Dinesh
by the way, he is Indian. He seemed really interested in what the church is
like and what we do as missionaries. We hope to meet up with him within the
next few days. As far as our other investigators go, we are still in touch with
some of them like Abi, (he's from Kosovo and is more of a less active Muslim)
but we are still mainly looking for other people to teach. The biggest issue
here in Waterford with finding people to teach is getting people to pick up the
phone. Haha.
Last Friday we went over to the Moylan's house. Brother
Moylan makes replicas of guns and swords and is really into history, so we got
to dress up as a bunch of different soldiers throughout history. It was really
awesome. Sadly I do not have any of the pictures with me, they were taken on
Elder Watson's camera so if I do not send them today, I will definitely send
them next week.
Easter Sunday was really fantastic. Easter seems to be a
bigger holiday here than back home. Everything closes down from Friday through
today. There were some great talks given on the Atonement and life of the
Savior in church and there was a great priesthood lesson given on how we can
better study our scriptures by identifying the principles in a given passage,
understand the concepts or definitions of each principle, and then think of
examples of how that principle has worked in your life. Studying the scriptures
definitely makes a difference. It really helps to brighten my day.
So today for P-day we are planning to go to the beach so
sorry if this email is a bit short. I will try to take more pictures, I will
promise to send more this next week. Hope you had a fantastic birthday Dad!
I hope everything back in Minnesota is going well. Waterford
just keeps getting better and better. Hope you guys have a good week.
Love you guys,
Elder Calley
So we were meeting a less active in the park last Wednesday
and I climbed a tree.
