Week 3

Family,

The Lord continues to bless us here in the Lilburn 1st ward! Yesterday
the Robinson family baptism happened. It was so wonderful to witness.
So many people came to support this family. When we were helping them
make invitations they really could not think of a single friend they
could invite. Seeing the ward step up to the plate and be there for
this family was super touching. They are truly becoming a family. It
was crazy to see how hard Satan tries to keep people from entering the
waters of baptism. Really some crazy things happened to this family
last week. They kept their trust in the Lord and it was amazing to see
how strong their faith is. Their oldest daughter is now taking the
lessons from us with her husband. They are already member
missionaries! We're not mad about it!

A wonderful miracle:
We drive by this one apartment complex almost everyday. I see the kids
getting home from school and think "we should go knock there". The
sisters had knocked there before with no success so I kept pushing it
from my mind. Finally we decided to drive in. We didn't feel right the
first few buildings. Finally I noticed the pretty trees with pink
blooms I always see when we drive by. We parked and made a plan to
start at one end and work our way down until we had to be to our next
appointment. We knocked on 4 doors with nobody home. We got to the 5th
door and a cute young mom of two boys welcomed us in her home. Vinessa
has lived in her apartment for two months and has been hoping and
praying for someone to come and talk with her about religion. We set a
return appointment and walked out to realize our car was parked
directly in front of her apartment. He is constantly leading us and
miracles happen if we are willing to humble ourselves and follow the
promtings from the Holy Ghost.

I realized I didn't say much about my companion! Sorry! Sister Tau'aho
is from Oakland California and her mission here in Georgia will end in
December. She was born on December 22 (Shelbs & Cristians bday) that
automatically makes her amazing. She is big into sports and might play
volleyball in school when she gets home. She loves the people here
with her entire heart and never wants to give up on anyone. She sees
them how our Heavenly Father sees us. Full of potential. I love her.

Happiest of Birthdays to Papito on the 2nd and Momma on the 4th. Also
tell Grandpa Mike happy birthday on the 5th for me as well! So happy
all 3 of you were born and are a part of my life forever!

All my heart,
Sister Christensen
