Hey, Hey, Hey!!!! We're fixin' for a week of miracles! 6/17/13
Hello my wonderful friends and family! I must say, I hope you all had a wonderful week! Just as a side note. I wrote the Bugs and Tom letters. I would encourage you to ask them about what they said. There were a couple of good stories in there. ;-) Hehehe! Anyway! It's been another week here in the field. Two of our investigators have moved. We're back down to one, but that's okay! We should be picking up another one tonight! ;-) Pray for it. By the way, I want you know that your prayers are felt and heard. I've seen miracles happen down here, and I know that it is because of the mixture of your prayers, my prayers, and Heavenly Father's loving grace! Know that those humble prayers are felt and strengthen me. I appreciate your sacrifice, your thoughts, and your encouragement! You're doing great! Heavenly Father love me, and loves joking around with me. I still don't know how I feel about singles wards. ;-) But it's kind of a different spin from a family ward. We play Ultimate Frisbee (and other games but mostly Frisbee) every Saturday for like two hours. We are all soooo gross after we're done, but it's so much fun! I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'm looking forward to going home to snow! ;-) It never cools down here. Not even at night. It's like always at least 70 degrees, or that's what it feels like to me. And this seems to be a hotter summer than last years. Oh, goody! :D Anyway, we talk to a lot of people, and there are actually a couple of non-members that come out to play with us each week. It's been an interesting way to do missionary work, plus I get to wear pants. ;-) Really though, it has opened my eyes to all the ways that I could've been (and plan to in the future) sharing the gospel in such a casual non-confrontational way. Don't get me wrong, we go out in Pros. clothes and work our hearts out teaching and doing what every missionary does too. But this experience has made me excited to share the gospel with people my own age now and in the future. It still is a lot harder to find people though, because we have such a limited scope and such a large area! We cover all of South Houston down to Sugar Land and Richmond and parts of Rosenburg. Covering three stakes, which I think I've mentioned before. And we are only able to teach young single adult women ages 18-30. Tough crowd to find. But the Lord knows where they all are, and it's been an adventure following the promptings of the spirit. It's amazing what Heavenly Father can do in your life if you will just follow His counsel and trust in His plan even with your limited understanding. I know that our Heavenly Father loves us, we are NOT spiritual orphans nor will we ever have to be. I know that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Redeemer. I love Him with all my heart, and will be forever indebted to Him. I know that come what may the Book of Mormon has the answers. When life gets dark, please DO NOT run away from the source of light! If you will pray, you will find the peace and answers you are looking for. Heavenly Father loves you, Brother loves you, I love you! I hope you have a most wonderful week! Keep doing great things! Forever, Sis. Christopherson
