Shall We Not Go On? 🌍 4/6/20

 Hi friends and family!

What an awesome week it has been! We had some amazing lessons this week, some awesome personal studies, and of course General Conference! I feel so extraordinarily blessed for all the guidance Heavenly Father has given me this week. Also, transfer news are in annnnnnd..... Sister Miner and I are staying together! But... were going to be in a trio! We are really grateful to stay together but excited for a new opportunity to work with another Sister.(: 
We were blessed to have 19 lessons this week! It was absolutely incredible. And thankfully our technology worked great! Each one we could feel the spirit so strong and so could each person we taught. It continues to affirm this is Gods work! He is in charge and He knows what is going on, but nothing can stop the work from progressing. We actually started doing something fun too. We have taken screenshots with all the video lessons we had, I'll attach some to the email(: 
This is one of my all time favorite quotes from a talk my Grandpa sent me(: 
"After you have gotten the message, after you have paid the price to feel His love and hear the word of the Lord, go forward. Don’t fear, don’t vacillate, don’t quibble, don’t whine. You may, like Alma going to Ammonihah, have to find a route that leads an unusual way, but that is exactly what the Lord is doing here for the children of Israel. Nobody had ever crossed the Red Sea this way, but so what? There’s always a first time. With the spirit of revelation, dismiss your fears and wade in with both feet. In the words of Joseph Smith, 'Brethren [and sisters], shall we not go on in so great a cause? Go forward and not backward. Courage, brethren; and on, on to the victory!'"
We are doing missionary work in a VERY unusual way. We are having church in an unusual way. We had General Conference in an unusual way. But it's Gods work and God's plan, we know that. God promised He would prepare A way to accomplish all He commands us to do, so we need to dismiss our fears, our doubts, and our uncertainty because this IS a great cause. I love you all so much!! Send me your thoughts from conference❤
Love,
Sister Callister

18 Lessons in 18 Months❤ 3/8/21

  1. God's timing is perfect. Y'all we have absolutely no idea how detailed His timing is. He is working on things right now that won't be applicable until 30 years from now but when it all unfolds, it'll be a miracle to everyone involved. He is so aware. 2. His grace is and always will be sufficient. 3. Arizona sunsets are UNBEATABLE. 4. There is beauty in opposition. That is the time you come to know God and see Him the way you can see the galaxies in the dark. 5. There is a reality of angels all around us. He never leaves us comfortless and that comfort comes in a variety of ways.  6. True humility is never something negative. We don't lower ourselves to be humble. True humility comes only once we see our potential.  7. Scorpions are the scariest things on planet earth. Don't even try to change my mind they are so scary and definitely of the devil. 8. It is OK to not be ok. There is power in acknowledgment. What matters is how you move forward, but give yours...

  Hi friends and family!  I hope you're all doing well. It has been a crazy week with getting Sister Dorsey sent off and readjusting back to just Sister Miner and I. We have also had some great success and awesome lessons. Outside of that we have started making more ukulele videos and got into coloring in our backyard for outside time. New activities have helped me really stay sane. :)  It is crazy to think that I will be in Phoenix for 4 1/2 months this transfer, and that I will hit halfway through my mission. Time is actually speeding up and it scares me to think how quickly the mission is flying! But during our Sunday sacrament service yesterday a member asked a question that I have really reflected on. "Do you think that you will be a different person after you get home from what you learned from the mission?" This question is asked a lot, but for whatever reason it hit me more this time. Will I choose to be a different person from what I experience on my mission? I c...

Week 2 in the MTC - 9/3/19

Hello friends and family!  First, thank you so much for all the emails it means so much to hear from you all! I am so sorry for not getting back to everyone time just flies on P days but please keep sending messages and I promise I'll get back to them as soon as I can! Well, officially one week from right now I'll be in Arizona, crazy! But I can't wait. Even in these short weeks, I have had such an increase in the desire to go and share the message of the restored gospel. I just want everyone to hear it and know how much it can bless their lives! Sister Wright and I have had so much fun teaching our assigned people here and have learned vital principles in how to teach. We work so well together I'm so sad we only have a few days left together!  This week in my personal study I was reading through a few general conference talks and after a few clicks found myself reading a message from the Ensign by Elder Ballard titled, "Now is the Time". I was so ...
