Holt, Caleb

I hope my email subject is exciting to you, haha. I don't know what to put after writing them for so many weeks. I hope each person reading this is doing well. This week I want to share with you how amazing my mission really is. I hope I do a good job at expressing what is really being felt here in my life.       Latley this week I have been having a hard time to stay comfortable. I have in fact had on of the most stressful weeks ever haha. But somehow I feel so good about it. I think some of my stress comes from the many lessons we are having each day, or mabye the amount of work the Ward and mission want us to do. All this with hearing concerns in my district and also trying to get information from leadership to the missionaries. Many friends we have are needing 1,000 plus things in order to know they are going to be okay. The list continues forever. But admist all of this we find happiness, we are still and calm. We find peace. We are still making it out alive eac...

This week flew by!       The Lord is blessing us so much here. The reason why He is, is because we are keeping our covenants! Covenants are so huge to recieving and recognizing blessings from God! A couple weeks ago I emailed about finding a gift I have. As I have searched for that answer I have found a gift of charity! This search for gifts has taught me a lot. I will continue to search and find more gifts and to also keep my covenants to the Lord so that I can keep growing in these things. I am so grateful for God's plan for us. I have come to know every person will get to hear of the love God has for them eventually. I know God fulfills everything He says. Weather it is in this life or the next, how grateful I am for God! How great will be our joy when the day comes that He fulfills all His words! I love you all, keep those good things going.  I love you! -Elder Caleb Holt Washington Vancouver Mission 03/21/2022

PLEASE READ And it came to pass that I had a good week. This week has been amazing for many reasons. One miracle I saw is while I have been following spiritual promptings. The story goes as follows- During our time on exchanges I was looking to teach an Elder how to receive revelation and so I taught the essentials to understand it and we decided to put it to work in our day starting with a prayer in the morning to find what God wants for us that day! We found several people to teach that day by following the spirit but towards the end of that day we stressed to find one more person the Lord wanted us to find. Many things caused it to be stressful. First we told a family the Lord had someone prepared for us before finding time ended at 8pm so that they could grow in their testimony with us! Second we started to doubt the revelation we received. Third I was trying to show this Elder that Revelation is real. All these stresses continued till 7:53pm till we decided to r...

I am so grateful for my companion this week. We did many things that made me a happy happy Elder. To start I'll tell you about him and what he's like. His name is Elder Parker and he's from New Mexico. He has a love for the outdoors and is a faithful Elder. You may be wondering why I am talking about him. Well he has been a blessing to me and taught me something so great! I have always had doubts on the mission about following my spiritual promptings because the Elders I served with in the past have not been so in tune with the spirit and were still discovering how to follow it; so I was scared to be embarrassed about following those promptings because I didn't know what they would think of me if I were to follow them. Heavenly Father suffered me to being led astray for a while till I came to ask Him about my concern so that He could show me that it is from Him that I was being blessed with this great companion who I now have.
