Transfers All Over!

 So, for a couple of weeks, I was feeling like Caleb might be called

to serve as a district leader. I actually began praying that 

he would be prepared to serve in this responsibility,

so when he called Sunday night it was one of the first things I asked!

He found out on Saturday he would be transferred, then one of the AP's 

asked he and Elder Randi (shortened) if they would both be willing 

to serve as district leaders.

So Caleb knew he would be transferred and was aware of his new responsibility,

but didn't know where he would be serving. He would find that out on Tuesday morning.

I'm anxious to learn when he calls again where he's at!

He's enjoyed his time in Ladysmith, but I knew he was missing

those he'd gotten to know in his area in Eswatini,

so I loved the experience he had while on the temple grounds this past week.

Read his email to learn what that was! Definitely a tender mercy!

He did have a baptism 1 1/2 weeks ago...another young lady,

but still no pictures. It's been hard for him to share pictures from this area

because of the wi-fi situation, but hopefully he'll get sent to him from the elder 

that took the pictures! Here's his email from a few days ago with a couple of pictures:

                        He loves Root Beer and was excited to find some IBC at a gas station!

 

Hello! I hope you are all wonderful!! As for me I'm doing great.

This past week we recieved transfer news! At least part of it I learned that i was leaving Ladysmith but I still don't know where i am going stay tuned in to find out next week, if i remember to email that is 

I had a chance to see some members from the branch I served in, in Eswatini, it was super awesome to see them amd to hear that they are doing well! I ran into them while I was at the temple today! Its only my second time being at the temple, and even though I didn't go inside or participate in ordinances the temple certainly has a different spirit! Its truly wonderful.

My run in with previous friends reminds me of when Alma met up with Ammon and the Sons of Mosiah in Alma 17, and in verse 2 it says "and what added more to his joy, they were still his brethren in the Lord;" and thats how i felt, not only did I get to see these people i love again, but they were at the temple, preparing to do ordinances of Salvation for their ancestors, it truly added more to the joy i felt.

I don't have much else to add, but I love you all!
