Week 4

Dearest ones,

This week had some crazy miracles! I don't have much time so I'll just
share one!
I was in the Riverside Spanish Sisters areas with Hermana Van LeuVan.
We were on our way to try and contact an investigator the Elders had a
few months back for the last time before we stopped visiting them. Our
GPS had other plans. Hermana Van LueVan said they had used that
address in the GPS before and it took them there with no problem. We
were driving around in downtown Lawrenceville in circles and couldn't
figure out why. Finally we decided Heavenly Father must have somewhere
else for us to be right now. We followed the GPS to a parking lot.
Said a prayer to find the person he had in mind for us to help and
started toward the shops. Right when we got to the sidewalk we saw two
women struggling to move this huge box onto a dolly. We offered to
help. One of the women started calling us her angels and telling us
how she was praying for someone to come and help and God brought her
two. Venus has a Book of Mormon that was given to her from a student
she had that is actually on a mission right now. She had questions
about it and we were able to answer a few of those. Then we found out
that she is from Honduras! The Hermanas will start teaching her once
she gets back on vacation! Heavenly Father is aware of every single
persons needs and every single persons prayers. It was a humbling
experience to see how we can be an answer to those prayers if we are
willing to trust in the Lord.
We also contacted a man on the side of the road names Abraham. I
didn't understand most of what was going on. I got really good at
saying No Hablo espanol haha. But I starting tearing up when I could
tell Hermana Van LeuVan was bearing her testimony in Spanish and
couldn't help but feel connected to my younger siblings and thankful
for the tender mercies Heavenly Father pours down on me. I love being
a missionary. I love being able to see how living the gospel truly
changes people. Especially me. Thank you for the love and prayers. I
found the list but forgot to bring it today... So sorry!
Party it up for me this Saturday! 24 :)

All my heart
Sister Christensen
