Hello, hello, hello! I bet you can't wait to read this e-mail! ;-)

Hey Everyone!

I hope that you had a most wonderful week, where ever you are! Perhaps, you even had a few adventures! ;-) So, today was transfer calls. It was crazy, we be like, "Say What?!" I don't even know how to respond to it. Yup....true story. Anyway, this week has been pretty calm for Sunnyside. Although, I kept being told how Sunnyside is like the 7th most dangerous place in the nation or something like that. Yeah, I'm that cool.  Hehe! No, it's not that bad. It's a wonderful adventure, and there is so much to learn from being around these people. I love them very much. I'm so grateful Father let all of the people I've met down in Texas be a part of my life, but I still don't want to live here past Dec. 17. :-)

I hope that each of you are enjoying your time, and creating  wonderful memories as a friends and family. I'm so grateful to be a member of Christ's kingdom, and a sheep in His fold. I could look forward to the day He comes again and I will recognize His voice when He calls my name to come. I'm so happy to have the knowledge and testimony I have, but more wonderful I have faith in it. This gospel lifts us up, and brings us to our Savior. It is the instructions and guide of how to access everything we need, to do everything we need to do, so we can find ourselves happily, gratefully, forever with our Father, Mother, Brother, and all others included in our Eternal Family. How cool is that?! Look at what we have, don't you want to share it? Don't you want all of your brothers and sisters home with you? Do the work, share to gospel, whether it's binding families in this life or in the next, get it done and do it now!

 

 

This is the ---- girls. President ---- and their son ---- weren't in the picture, but I love them! L-R Sis. ----, Me (Thomas and Sheffer boys I hope you like my hat. ;-) ), ----, ----, and ----. They are all super cute! President and Sister ---- are service missionaries for Sunnyside, President ---- is the branch President. They actually live in the East mission though. We cross the boarder....! ;-)

This is the ---- family on Mother's Day. L-R Me, ----, Sis. ----, ----, Bro. ----. They are the sweetest people in the world I love them so much! They are so funny, and they really made my birthday, it was something Bapa would do. Made me feel right at home with that crab-cake! ;-)

This is me...Driving a Texas Truck found at a grocery store called Randall's. It's in Pearland. Yup, I'm super awesome. You just can't contain all that can ya? I KNOW you be all up and like "Oh my goodness! She's soooo cool! I wanna be like that!" Right? Right? Yeah, I know. ;-)

 

Well, I guess my time is ending. I've gotta go, but I hope you enjoy this coming week and know that I love you with all my heart! God bless and God speed!

Forever,

Sis. Christopherson
Post Script: Are you wondering what transfer calls said? You should be - or had you already forgotten? ;-) Sis. Baker and I are both getting transfered. I don't know what's happening to sunnyside. It's a little crazy. You never know what's going to happen in the Lord's Vineyard, eh? Love you!

What in the world happened in Texas this week?!

Hello everybody! Hope all is well! I'm sure everyone is enjoying some nice cool weather...or has it started warming up a little? ;-) All I know is that life down in TEXAS was CRAZY!!! I went on two exchanges last week, and one of them I went to a bike area just south of my area. It was so much FUN!!! I loved it! It was a lot of hard work, and we came home purely exhausted, but it never felt so good to be so exhausted, because I was exhausted for the Lord. I biked up a storm- got my first sunburn for the season. Always exciting, right? :-)

After that back in my area, we taught like crazy. We tried anyway. I know that there are at LEAST 1,000 blessed, loved, and prepared children of Father that need to have the strength and endurance that comes from entering into coventants and being a member of Christ's Kingdom on the earth. I really do want to be a part of it, and I'm trying.

I am so grateful that I can be down here in Texas and labor ( and it is a labor) in the Lord's vineyard here. There is power in that calling and in that opportunity. I pray that you see the miracles of the Lord in your lives like I see them in mine. I can't really explain the awe in my heart of the love our Heavenly Father has, and how intricate His design truly is. We each of a divine role and purpose. As men and women, as sons and daughters, and more powerfully as ourselves. We lived with Heavenly Father, He knows us! And far better, He knows our hearts and what we can become.

Anyway, I'm sure you are all more interested in some crazy stories or something....which I'd love to share. ;-D This last Saturday there was a CRAZY storm down here in Houston. 

It was pretty much the coolest thing EVER! :-) Until....I was driving down the road and the road turned into a river. True story. The road had waves ....roads shouldn't have waves. Or maybe it's the new thing. I don't know? 

Nevertheless, I made it out safe and so did my companion. The car had seen better days, which is a whole other story I'm not sure I have enough time to tell. ;-)

Because the car was a little out of service Sunday and Monday, my area turned into a bike area! ;-) I was biking up a storm. And I met some crazy people! Couple of people hit on us, a couple just stared at the white girls riding by, one even kissed us....that was weird. But I survived. Barely.

Mmm....So much more to talk about, why is there never any time?! ;-)

Sorry, I didn't e-mail on Monday- we switched P-Day so that we could go to the temple today. But then a family emergency came up with the sister who was giving us a ride, and we couldn't go. We'll try again soon though. ;-)

 

Know that I love you lots and I pray for you. Peace be the journey.

 

Don't forget to do your family history work! ;-)

 

Forever,

Sis. Christopherson

Hello, Hello, Hello.... 4/22/2013

How is everybody doing?! I'm sure all is well! I know that the Lord has been watching over you.

I wanted to send some pictures today.

 I was having fun with a mask. Being silly, but I thought they were kind of fun. ;-)

Hehe! WELL! This is at the ----'s house. They are a family from Silverlake ward that help out the branch. They went to the beach on Saturday, and  wanted to make me a crab cake for my birthday Sunday! ;-) Super funny. They are a wonderful family. 

I love them a whole lot! I ate the crab and the cake....but not together. ;-)

Okay, so I see these everyday when I'm heading north. They are GIANT.

This is an armadillo. It makes me laugh...Texans will be Texans. ;-) 

You can't beat the RED BARON!!

Just to show you an angle where you can see more than one. 

These things are not small and there are a ton of them!

This one is pretty cool. It's this airplane shooting a giant spider. That spider is sweet! It is super tall!

The things you find here....right? I just wanted to share a piece of my everyday life with you.

Know that you are loved and appreciated. Know that I am grateful for you. Know that God is with you, and me. Know that you are a child of God. Great things are in store if you will keep His commandments!

Love you!

Sis. Chris
