Week 57 - Alma 29:9 What's your verse?!

Loved ones,

I've felt so much love today!! Love from all y'all, love from Sister
Neff, love from Heavenly Father! I looked at the sky today and it was
everything I love. I love when I can see the sunbeams coming  through
the clouds. I looked in another direction and it was a little misty
and then it started to lightly rain! I'm so thankful He has given me
such a beautiful day! Haha I sound a little crazy but I truly do love
it.

It has been the most amazing week of my life! Sister Neff and I are
literally running from place to place because we are so busy teaching
people. But not too busy that we aren't talking to people along the
way. As we were driving we felt the need to stop and talk to this lady
on her porch. We pulled over, said a prayer and then got out and
walked right up to her. Turns out she met the Elders as they were
visiting her neighbor (Tammy- who had planned to see). She asked us to
come back and teach her and her two daughters. She was sick so we felt
we should make her soup. So we did. We talked to three more people
that day that needed soup. It softened a lot of souls and prepared
them for our version of "chicken soup for the soul"- the gospel of
Jesus Christ!

Sister Neff and I got together on Wednesday and wanted to get right to
work and get into contact with all the elders investigators because
they are no longer in the area. We wanted to sync our iPads really
quick to get their plans and prioritize who we needed to reach out to.
We decided to stop at the first place we saw with wifi. We spotted a
place and sat at the tables outside. We immediately started planning
and discussing needs and what to teach and focus on for these people.
10 minutes into the conversation the girl sitting at the table next to
us said "Sorry to interrupt, but who are you? Are you Christians?".
She proceeded to tell us how her mom was raised Christian but gave
them the choice growing up if they wanted to go to church or not. She
rarely went but now is looking to understand more about Jesus Christ."
We testified of who we are and invited her to meet with us! She agreed
and we exchanged information. Saturday we had the thought to call and
invite her to church. So we did! And she came! She loved it! She told
a few different members she'd be coming from now on! We can't wait for
her to learn more! Most of the time it's just being in the right time
at the right place and simply extending that invitation. Also, her
birthday is tomorrow so we're going to celebrate together! I love her!

I am so thankful for every single one of y'all! Thanks for all the
birthday love!
Dad and Grandma Lou & Grandpa Mike- we're loving the popcorn!!
Mom- your package was so thoughtful! Thank you!
Kassidy- thanks for writing such cute sayings on them!

All my love,
❤️
Sister Christensen

The Underwoods (Sitting down) have always been there for me! They took us out for my birthday while we were in Lilburn for meetings.

Sister Neff, and Sister Giddins (my last companion in Allatoona), and Sister Hollowell surprised me with breakfast and all this cute stuff (sweet sisters trying to make me feel better about my age on accident haha)


Sister Neff decorated my desk with 25 love notes... So cute!!
