Oh, the stories you get on your mission.... there's nothing like 'em! 11/19/12


Hello Everybody!
I hope everybody has a most wonderful Thanksgiving this week! It's going to be a little weird not being able to snitch dressing when Bapa's not looking, and no bubbly...none of that. However, I do get to spend Thanksgiving with a fantastically hillarious Scottish woman who I love! She makes me laugh so much! I had a crazy week! But most of the stories I have I don't think I should share with you....it's been a strange week. However, I got to go on exchanges with my MTC companion Sister ----. I love her! And it was so much fun teaching real people with her. We actually had a really cool experience. We were trying to figure out where to go, so we said a prayer and looked at the ward list, and we decided on a Sister I had never met. We got there and were sitting outside the house going. We have no idea why we're here! So we said another prayer to make sure we were in the right spot. And we were. So, we went up to the house, and we had a really cool lesson with her. She has been struggling and we were there as a reminder the Heavenly Father is aware of all of His children even when His servants are not! I didn't know this person, this precious daughter of God, but Heavenly Father knew she needed to be reminded of His love for her. I was grateful to be a willing servant and to give the message to her.

Sister ----'s year mark picture. We were eating gingerbread house ice cream with tiny spoons. It was fun.

This is just funny! Enjoy!

This is Sister ---- and I on our exchange.

This is a sign in the middle of a residential area....no hiking. It was something I felt needed to be shared. Texas is still crazy!
Know that I'm grateful for every one of you, and for all you do. I love you and miss you very much. I appreciate all you do for me and have done for me. I don't know where I would be without you! Remember my love for you at this time, and remember God's love for you. He is aware of you....ever aware of you and your struggles. Remember, please remember. Hold to the truth, and be who God intends you to be.
 
I can testify that being obedient to the commandments. Every single one, will bring you more blessings, in more ways than you could ever imagine. It's not worth living the gospel half way, it's not worth keeping on half the commandments. You will sacrifice more than you know if you are not doing your best to be obedient to your loving Heavenly Father. He loves you, knows you, and more miraculously knows what's best for you! Trust in Him and find out His plan for you!
 
God be with you,
Forever,




Sister Christopherson
