Week 22: General Conference!

Hi family! 
I was chatting with a few of you today, and didn't have a lot of time. But here is a short email to let you know that I still love you and I am still alive.

This weekend we watched general conference. I loved it! Especially the talk by Becky Craven and Elder Homer. I cant wait to read the talks again and study them more! As I watched I had the impression that every change that Russell M. Nelson has made has blessed each person in our family. Bea can go to the temple now as an 11 year old. It sounds like Sarah and the other family members and enjoying the program Come Follow me, I am able to talk more with you each week! I am so grateful for the prophet and the changes he has made. I love you so much! Thanks for supporting me in my mission! I promise next week will be a better email hahaha

Love, 
Hermana Christensen




(I cant remember if I already sent this pic, but I am happy when I am eating hahaha), but I am more happy when I am feasting on the words of the prophets. I love the book of Mormon!!

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 ...
