Week 5

EVERYONE,

Finally I found my email list! So sorry everyone that didn't get an

email until now... I still love you and hope you still love me!

Thank you for all the birthday gifts, cards, emails and thoughts! It

was seriously one of the best days of my life. Heavenly Father truly

loves me and I got to see how amazing the people here in Georgia are.

Sister Tau'aho and I decided to start our day off by visiting a woman

in our Ward that just had surgery. She didn't come to the door but we

left her a note and she was really thankful in a text she sent later

on in the day. So we decided to knock on doors around her

neighborhood. Best thing ever. We had some success the day before with

singing songs to people at their doorsteps. So we did just that (I

guess it's a Sister Christensen thing.. Who knew). We're a one hit

wonder right now with "Families Can Be Together Forever".

Ether 12:27

27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I

give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is

sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they

humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make

weak things become strong unto them.

That entire day my weakness was made strong. At one point we were

singing to a man cleaning his car and these kids came out of their

house next door and just stood memorized by the song. It was truly

humbling. That man had actually only been in Georgia one month and had

been receiving lessons from the missionaries in Virginia and only

stopped because he moved out here. I'm constantly amazed at how he

truly leads us to these people.

In the afternoon we had a couple in the Ward that had asked if they

could come out with us all day and take us to lunch. We had a lesson

with an investigator and made so much progress with him! His changes

are small but we know Heavenly Father has a plan for him and hope to

help him find that. He asked if he could sing a song as a closing

prayer in Vietnamese. It was beautiful. He didn't even know it was my

birthday and he truly made my day! He ended up coming to the Day of

Nations Celebration (aka my birthday party) that the Spanish branches

put on and coming to a scripture study on Sunday night thanks to

amazing members that went out of their way to pick him up knowing he

might not come because he doesn't have a phone and can't let us know

if plans change.

At that scripture study one of the girls that was baptized two weeks

ago had cake for her 11th birthday and her mom made me a cake too so

we got to blow out candles together. It was really nice.

I love you!!

Another birthday miracle... Someone paid for our meal at TGI Fridays!

All four of us!
