I'm sorry, yesterday was a holiday. ;-) 1/22/13


Just pretend that you are receiving this yesterday early in the morning. Last week I didn't even realize I wouldn't be able to write on Monday. You see, we use library computers to e-mail every week, and they were closed yesterday because of Martin Luther King Jr. day. So, here I am rambling on while you are probably freaking out in anticipation to hear what my transfer fate is....yeah. I know, it's exciting.
Texas has some of the weirdest names for their streets, but this intersection made me smile.
There is also a Friendship, but not intersecting with these two anywhere.
Something cool about transfers, or new missionaries in general. Is we are going to have more than doubled our english speaking sisters by next transfer! According to my calculations everybody will be training at LEAST one sister, and some will be training two! I'm excited to see the miracles the God is bringing to the THSM (Texas Houston South Mission)! So many sisters, and so many young ones. It's amazing the work that will move forward. Elder Ballard said something like, "If you're awake you're seeing the signs of the times...He is hastening His work!" I am so grateful to be alive at this time of preparation for the Savior's coming! I'm grateful to be a part of His missionary army going forth to bring the world His truth! I'm grateful to build up His kingdom. I imagine I am not alone in my rejoicing. :)
This is a snowglobe that made me laugh really hard.
I thought you might enjoy it. Because it's so true! Winters here are LAME! :)
This week has been crazy. We still don't have any solid investigators, but there is always hope and faith for the future. It is coming, with all the miracles around how could it not be?! We've been finding a lot of people who have the desire to come back to the church. To remember what they felt so long ago. We are all missing home in some way or another, and they only way to get the comfort and feeling of home we miss so much is to live the gospel of Jesus Christ. We will always feel at home with those who love us most and through the Spirit we can feel our heavenly family's love. Help someone feel a little more loved this week, because, "The people in your heart, don't know what's in your heart. Tell them that you love them everyday!" Father tells you He loves you everyday! Listen to His tender mercy whispering through the sweet moment you needed most, and then share it with those you love! Know that I love you, probably more than any e-mail, letter, or package can carry but I try to make sure you remember that I do love you. Oh! and by the way...I'm staying in Seabrook, and I will become the Senior companion. Next transfer it would be a surprise if I'm not training. So pray for me! Did it take me long enough to tell you? Hehe...I'll tell you about my new companion next week. :)
 
Just so you know I finished the Book of Mormon and I've started over!
Keeping up with my New Year Mission Goal!
Don't forget to read, it's a wonderful thing!

Love you forever and always!
Forever,
Sis. Chris.
