Elder Schuyler D Calder
I have been called to serve the Lord in the San Antonio Texas mission. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints I will be spending the next two years serving the people of Texas. Right now I am in the Provo Utah Missionary Training Center (MTC) and am learning Spanish.
Here are a few of my favorite things~
- Favorite Song: Hymn #134 'I Believe in Christ'
'I believe in Christ; he stands supreme!
From Him I'll gain my fondest dream;
And while I strive through grief and pain,
His voice is heard:
"Ye shall obtain."
I believe in Christ;
So come what may,
With him I'll stand in that great day
When on this earth he comes again
To rule among the sons of men.'
In Elder Calder's farewell talk he spoke of the love he has for the Savior and this was his favorite verse in the song, 'I Believe in Christ', which he quoted in his talk. Schuyler loves this song because he truly feels that the Lord, Jesus Christ is his Redeemer and he believes in his Gospel.
In his latest email Elder Calder says:
Mom and Dad, Bro's and Sis', and all my friends. I really want you guys to know just how much Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost care about us. I was at a super low time. I was ready to break. I was on the brink of crying... I wanted to go home. But that is when the change came. And it wasn't until I sat down, opened The Book of Mormon and just read. I felt extreme comfort at that time. My mood softened, and the love for my fellowmen returned. I am so grateful that Christ took the time to let me know what he wanted me to do.
My name is Elder Schuyler Calder and I have a testimony of Jesus Christ!
2. Favorite Scripture: 2 Nephi 4: 28-30
28 Awake, my soul! No longer adroop in sin. Rejoice, O my heart, and give place no more for the benemy of my soul.
29 Do not aanger again because of mine enemies. Do not slacken my strength because of mine afflictions.
