Week 23: Lots of Goodbyes and Lots of food

Hi Family! 

This week I am feeling a lot better. I have been terrible at writing letters these past couple weeks, so I will send a lot of pictures and try to remember everthing.hahaha. 

The biggest thing this week is that we had a baptism this weekend!!! Her name is Ruth and she is nine. She is super cute, and has cute long hair and big eyes. One of the members in the ward baptized her. His name is Jorhan, he is from Venezuela too and is a recent convert of a little more than a year. He is super awesome and accompanies us in our visits. It was super cute because one of the primary kids gave a talk about the Holy Ghost, and they sang When I am Baptized. Hopefully you can see the video















This week on Friday Hermana Tituaña went home. The last couple days were pretty crazy because all of the members wanted to say goodbye to her. It was a little bit hard because everyone wanted to talk about her house, and being home and what she was going to do after, and all that. But it´s all good. We also got fed A LOT of food. Like normally we eat a ton, but this week people wanted to give us extra food too. hahaha perfect. It is a good thing that it is sweater and stretchy clothes season here in Chile hahaha
This is Miriam. She is a less active member that we found. She baked this cake for us. Just for fun. It was super good. Like a pound cake with lemon


Also this past week I made egg gravy! It was super crazy, because I dont even know how to make gravy, but I just threw some butter and flour and milk together and somehow it was gravy. It was not the best, but it was good to eat.





Hermana Tituaña and I took some pictures to finish the change together. Super cute. It has been cooler here, so that has been nice to not be sweating so much hahaha








Thank you so much for all your prayers. I have definitely felt your love and help this week. I am in love with conference and the scriptures. I am so grateful for the prophets. I am excited to keep working and serving here in Curicó. Next week I will send some pictures of my new companion. 

Love you all!!!
Hermana Christensen

Week 4: I wanna be where the people are...

Image
Hola Familia! Wow. I can't believe it, but I only have about 17 months left in my mission! hahaha. But really the time is flying by in the MTC. I apologize, I didn't get a letter hand written this week, but hopefully next week I can squeeze it in. At the MTC, every second we are learning and growing, or eating and sleeping. When I do have a moment where I'm not doing something, I am memorizing scriptures or vocabulary.  This week was great! On Thursday was Thanksgiving. Most of the missionaries forgot because it was just like any other day. But when we went to dinner, there was a surprise waiting for us! The cafeteria staff had made a nice dinner for us. They put tableclothes on the table with cloth napkins, pitchers of juice, and flowers. Then they served us turkey and mashed potatoes and gravy. It was so nice! The food was a little different than normal thanksgiving, but I was so glad that they made it so special for us. President and Sister Carmack came and sat by ...

Week 35: Total Eclipse of the... sun

Image
Hey family!  I hope this week has been a good one! It has been a good one on this side of the equator. This week we had an eclipse here in Chile! Whoo hoo!! The eclipse wasnt full where we were, but it still got a little bit dark. One of the ward members had the special lenses, so we got to see the sun through that. It was super cool, but not as cool as the one in Idaho, oh well. Here are some pics of when the sun was covered up. This was at like 4 in the afternoon.  This week I am tired! But it is super awesome! We have been working super hard in our sector and helping people progress. This week we set a baptismal date with Nelson. He is from Venezuela, and is in Chile working to bring his wife here. Nelson is awesome! He is reading the Book of Mormon, and progressing a lot! Keep him and Jenny and Alejandra in your prayers this week if you remember.  Sorry the letter is a little short this week, but I will send some pictures too. Love, Hermana Ch...

Week 36: I'm a mom!

Hi family! I hope everyone is doing well! Dont worry about the subject line, I´m not pregnant, but I am training a new missionary! Whoo hoo! It is a weird missionary thing to call your trainee your daughter...but.... It is kind of weird. Probably the last time I will do that. Her name is Hermana Machicado. She is from Bolivia and is super short and super cute! She is the 7th of 8 kids and all but two of her siblings are members. This week has been pretty great! It is amazing to see how the Lord has been preparing me, and how He is preparing the people we are teaching. I think everyone already knows, but I was struggling a lot with depression in the first part of my mission. These past couple weeks I have been able to realize that I am feeling SO MUCH BETTER!!! And just in time, because I am training a new missionary hahaha. But really, I am so grateful for all the experiences that I have had in my mission so far. I have been able to grow so much and learn so much too! I am soooo ...
