Hope you all had a and will have a most wonderful week! This last week has been a little out of the ordinary, that's for sure. In summary, I was part of what is called an emergency transfer. So basically, with short or sudden notice you are told to pack up all of your things and meet somebody at a certain place in a couple of hours and you get new companions. Really, you have no idea what is going on, it's a little crazy. So, to be honest I don't remember much of what happened earlier this week. I've been so overwhelmed with just the weekend. Nevertheless, it looks like I'm staying in the area that I got transferred to for my last transfer. So, I can give you the address this week instead of next week! Yay! So here it is:
Sis. Angell Christopherson
5025 FM 2351 Rd. #305
Friendswood, TX 77546
So, I'm now serving in the Clear Lake 2nd Ward with companions Sis. ---- and Sis. ----. They are super wonderful, for sure! I really love them! It's been really fun to be with them the last few days, and I'm happy to be staying with them. It's actually kind of cool, I took Doctrine and Covenants from Sis. ----'s dad at Cedar City Institute. It was a little thing that helped me know that Father still knew who I was even though I've been having such a hard time these last few weeks. It was a beautifully simple tender mercy. I'll have to send you pictures next week, and share more stories as our stories continue to unfold!
I want you to know that I know that the gospel is true, come what may, I believe in Christ and in His promises! I'm not sure the lesson that I need to learn from all that has happened but I'm confident that I'll figure it out with the help of the Spirit! I know that we can receive great and profound comfort as we read the scriptures and take time to be still and listen for the voice of the Lord. I know that trials come whether we are keeping the commandments or not, but when we're doing our best to stand by God He will always stand by us; When the path is smooth, and when it gets thorny! I pray that I will have the strength to fight the good fight and finish my course.
Thank you so much for all of your love and support, I truly appreciate all that you have done for me. Even the little things have had added great strength to my spirit! So, thank you. I'll be forever indebted to you for the love you have shown me. May God be with you, watch over you, and bless you throughout this week I pray with all my love.
Forever,
Sis. Chris.

I remembered something that I wanted to tell you about this week! For Halloween we had to come in by seven o'clock unless we had scheduled appointments. Well, we went and did service at the Ronald McDonald House until nine o'clock! It was really cool. We went and played games and did fun activities with the children and their families! It was such an interesting experience. I'm grateful that I had the opportunity to do it! The Ronald McDonald House is a place for children with cancer and their families to stay when they are coming down for treatments and things. It's a really cool set up, and they try and make it feel as much like a home as possible. It's pretty amazing all that they do there for those kids and their families.
