Todos de ustedes- les amo. I heard from a whole bunch of you today and it
was a really wonderful blessing. The coolest part by far was the pics of the
Hills and their fantastic Halloween costumes. Seriously though, I am pretty sure
that Christian IS Harry Potter in the flesh. Congrats on the beets. 56 Tons!?
that is super awesome. I am so happy for that. Fog, that stinks about the sweet
corn, but as my very wise farmer father always says, "there´s always next year".
Carter sure looks cute and the shirt was priceless. I am not surprised in the
least that he´s an oldies fan. Congrats to Tom for getting accepted to BYU-I.
Tell him that he needs to live in Bunkhouse. That is where all the cool guys
live.-just sayin.... I am super jazzed about Kelsey getting ready to leave on a
mission. Good for her, she is in for the time of her life. Enjoy every bite of
that whipped honey.
The greatest miracle of this week is that the menos activo family that we
have been working with (we have gone by their house about twice a week or more
teaching them for two transfers) finally all came to church. It was incredible.
at times one of them would come with us, or the dad would come for one week, but
never the whole family. I will attach a picture of them and us at the church.
This family means so much to Hermana Martinez and I . To see them all there at
church was truly wonderful. Now we just have to get them to keep going- and not
just for us, because they want to. This is the familia Perez if you remember. We
love them to peices (the other day they busted out some ice cream, and it was exactly like what I felt at home. Ice cream with some really wonderful
spiritual thoughts. Love it.
Ines is having some really tough challenges financially, emotionally,
spiritually, and she has got so much desire to come to church. The problem is
her work. The other day we talked about going to church and the blessings that
she could have. The Spirit was super duper strong and through the Spirit, I
promised her that if she came to church that the Lord would take care of her
financial situation, but that she would have to show her faith in God to come to
Church. I invited her to kneel down with us together to ask the Lord what she
needed to do to be able to be obedient to the command to keep the Sabbath day
holy (and come to church). The spirit was super strong, but this Sunday will
show her desires.
Hermana Marler (the mission president´s wife) invited my companion and I
over to their house last week to enjoy some good old American food for This Sunday. We came and had some really tasty food. Corn on the cob and SALAD! (we
pretty much cant eat salads because it is really unsafe, but Hna Marler knows
where to get the safe food) and Cinnamon
Rolls. It was while I was there that she
talked to me about the email conversation that she had with Mom and Dad about
Sarah. I was pretty shocked but immediately, the Spirit touched my heart and
calmed my mind.
I know that the Lord will take care of my wonderful sister and the rest of
my family while I am away. I don´t have a doubt in the world that The Lord will
take good care of us. I am a representative of the Lord Jesus Christ and as that
representative I can promise that this family will see miracles through our
faithful obedience to the commandments. They may not be in the way we expect,
but that daily, the Blessings of the Lord will be with us all. I will be fasting
with the rest of you guys this Sunday, and my mission president and his wife
also told me that they will be with us as well for this fast.
I love you all-
Hermana Christensen
