Hey Everyone!
I pray all is well, and life will continue to improve! We always have something to look forward to in the future! I love that hope will always shine bright, when we believe in Heavenly Father's promises!
There are a couple of amazing things that I want to tell you about from this week! First to explain the picture.
This is a picture of our map-now, I hope you can see it, there is an orange line drawn across the map I want you to know that me and my companion biked that! We biked all the way from our house in Houston to a lesson with an investigator in Sugar Land!!! It was EPIC! We were biking for 2.5 hours. Crazy fun! When we got there we were quite soaked from the heat and hummidity. It was somewhere in the range of at least 100 degrees or more. Good times! So we decided to leave our legacy on the map we made by highlighting the route and puting a note say, "This is the epic bike route biked by Sisters B. Jones and A. Christopherson on Thursday, July 11, 2013! A-MAZING!" Yup, that happened! ;-) Our District Leader has since put a ten mile radius on us. So, we can't bike further than 10 miles away from the car.... but it was still cool!
Now, another wonderful thing that I'm sure you want to hear about! Let me tell you about a miracle! On Friday night we got two text messages from an investigator that we had dropped because of inconsistant contact; they said: "I want to get baptized." and the next, "I know it's all true." We were so happy. At the beginning of the month we set goals for how many people we're going to find, teach, baptize, etc. At the beginning of this month I felt very strongly two baptisms! Now, at that time we only had one investigator. But I set the goal and we've been trying to work towards it. This last week we still hadn't found any new investigators, it didn't look like we'd be able to meet the goal, because it takes time for people to be baptized right. That's were faith plays a role, we were praying and praying and working our whole hearts out. Father answers prayers. Would I have been able to meet that goal this month? No. Would my companion and I? No. But Father, Heavenly Father could and He did! We are so grateful that He has allowed us to be a small part of His work! Miracles do happen!
I hope that each of you are heading the prophets call to be missionaries. The Lord is hastening His work, please don't pass by the opportunity to be a part of it. He needs you, and the full-time missionaries need you. You can make a bigger difference in the lives of the people you know that we can! Pray for and seek opportunities to share the gospel this week. Give a pass-a-long card, a Book of Mormon, your testimony, whatever the Spirit prompts you to do! Just do it! You will see similar miracles in your life unfold as you move to the front lines in sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ and the message of His restored church! In the words of my investigator, "I know it's all true." It is true, and that should be burning in your hearts every minute of the day! Don't forget to share it! ;-)
I love you all, I love this gospel, and I love my Heavenly Father and Savior! I don't love Texas, but I love the people I've met here and the experiences I've been able to have! I'm grateful for every moment that has been alloted me! Have a wonderful week! Be safe, and courageous in sharing the gospel! I'll see you soon!
Forever,
Sis. Christopherson
