Hey my lovely family! I
hope that you are all doing well back at home:) Always remember that someone in
Nebraska loves you so much! Seriously! Who knew a heart could hold so much love
for so many people? It's true though! I love everyone in Utah so much!! and I
love the people here in Nebraska! If I love anyone else, my heart might explode
soon!! haha jk:) sorry for that visual:) I'll move onto the letter now before
things get out of hand:) haha
Wow!! Can you believe its
the end of January already? time is starting to cruise:) I love serving here in
Lakeview. We see miracles every day:) And.. I really love my companion Sister
Fulbright. She is so sweet and we have a lot of fun together:) We have been in
a car share with Sister Willis and Sister Rasmussen so we see them more often
as well, which is a blast! We have a good time and laugh a lot!
2 of my favorite things:) haha
So this week we had
some crazy adventures:) I will tell you about one of them. On Saturday, we
got asked to serve at an Indian Pow Wow!! It was pretty sweet! not gunna lie:)
So us 4 sisters (the ones above) went and spent the day serving the
Lamanites:) They have such an interesting culture and traditions. Most of
it was dancing, which was neat:) Because, Surprise! I love
dancing:) So that was fun:) we made and handed out all of the food for
meals and did all of the setting up and clean up. It was a lot of work but
such an enjoyable service project! Isn't a mission just great?!? I love it!!
Also this week we had our
interviews with President Weston! They happen about every couple of
months. He is such an inspired man! I received a lot of answers to prayers
about how I can help myself, my companion, and my area. I am very lucky and
privileged to be serving here at this time.
Oh and I forgot to tell
you.. but I got a Priesthood blessing last week and it was wonderful! I am so
thankful for the Priesthood and how accessible it is! I have been feeling much
better since I received that and I know that Heavenly Father is aware of both
you and i:)
I'm pretty sure that I
mentioned the McM last week in my email.. anyways.. you will be excited to hear
that.. J wants to quit drinking!!! Miracle!!! He got a Priesthood blessing to
help and he has now gone 3 days without it!! YAY!!! I honestly never thought
that I would see this day coming:)
So here is my monthly
commitment that I give you each time:) Next week is fast sunday:) so I want you
all to pray about and think about what the Lord would have you fast for:) and
do it:) I promise that as you think about it throughout the week and prepare
for it, it will be much more meaningful:) I know from my experience, that I
don't always want to fast for the things that I do, but as I have followed
Heavenly Father's will for me, I am extremely blessed because of it. He sees
the bigger picture and He knows what we can become through His help. Keep up
the great week!! I love you!!
Love,
Sister Christensen
