Elder Juárez!!!
I was chatting with my mom the other day, and she told be that calvin got transferred into " a stake that starts with a 'W' that has a Spanish branch..." Right away, I knew it was the Wandsworth stake... one of the stakes that the BYU kids are assigned to. (We are each assigned to a group of 3 or 4, and given a ward to serve in... I am in the Hyde Park Stake, and teach primary and play the piano. You are probably thinking... Karli can't play the piano- you're right. I can't, but I pretend to play the top hand.) Cherie emailed the mission president to find out what ward he was assigned, and i was able to go see him today... fun huh? I took him some lovely cupcakes, some toblerone, lion candy bars, and a Spanish dictionary so he can brush up on his Spanish... I am sure it won't take him long... that kid has the gift of tongues. I also delivered words of love from his wonderful family... he loved hearing about everyone- and he sends his love. I was so excited to see him, and surprise him. He didn't know I would be there so it was perfect. I felt like a true Juárez with the whole missionary/surprise thing. . . I was in the front of the chapel when he walked in, and I ran to the back to deliver my gifts! I was a little flustered/excited as I was trying to explain my search to find him, and he was a bit confused i think, so I just told him we would talk after the meeting. We went to sunday school and I got a glimpse of him in his gospel action during our class, he is on fire. I can tell he is a great teacher and fabulous missionary. It was nice to see a familiar face after going so long without... I am sure the feelings were mutual. We had a good visit. I am so glad I was able to see him! He is doing great. Not that he would tell me any different, but I could tell. He is happy. Go Calvin! You rock... keep up the good work!
