Just in case you missed me on Monday,
I'm here on Tuesday!! So never fear you will still learn all about the
happenings in my week! I just have an extra day to report and tons of
exciting stuff to tell you about.
Monday:
We stayed inside as much as possible, neither one of us like the cold,
and snow. Later that night we met up w/ the Ball State Sisters for
exchanges on Tuesday.
Tuesday: I was w/ Sister Keil all day
long!!!!!!!!!! Ohhhh man I love that girl so much!! She is just so super
great. I got to spend the day w/ her on frigid Ball State Campus!!!!! I
love campus, it was sooo fun to be there, it was just sooo stinking
cold that no one wanted to talk w/ us, sorta unfortunate but hey such is
life. We walked back and forth from the Institute to Bracken (the
library) 3 different times. But it was all good. We spent some time w/
Seth one of their RC's, and I got to go to institute which was soo fun!!
It was all about repentance which is always a good topic!! I just love
it. This time I did not eat anything exotic like Octopus w/ her....but I
did eat one of those breakfast sausage and pancake things, and it was
surprisingly delicious.
Wednesday: I got to be w/ my
favorite Sister Jacobson!! We had a really good District Meeting. We
dropped one of my funny investigators, but I refused to drop him until I
got a picture w/ him, and once I got my picture I was good w/ it. He
was always good for a laugh that is for certain. We visited w/ some
pretty awesome people. I got to see the cute baby bunnies, and Sister
Kirk came out teaching w/ us, so that was fun. I love her she is
great!!!!
Thursday: We had this conference that we got to be
apart of. However it was different than other conferences. It was by
video and phone. So we watched it on the computer and then we listened
to it via our phone. Crazy what you can do w/ technology right? It was
for all the District, Zone and Sister Training Leaders, as well as
others who were invited to it. Don't worry that meeting only went over
by an hour, we were back to our typical meeting schedule :) haha. The
Kirk's were kind enough to let us invade their home for the meeting. And
Sister Kirk fed us an awesome breakfast!!! Then we played car hop from
appointment to appointment w/ different members. It was kind of like
being back in Englewood, going from place to place w/ different people.
We had a delicious dinner and Sister Inman was going to send a pic home
of me and Sister J, but idk if I gave the right email addy, so theres
that. We had some other good appointments that night and then we were
off, to meet up for exchanges for Friday.
Friday:
I was w/ Sister Stokes in Muncie 2.2. Ohh man she is a cutie too! We
have such great Sisters in our Zone, we are sooo blessed. But we had so
much fun that day. We had some great things happen that day. It was fun
to be w/ her, she is just so genuinely happy, and soooo nice to
everyone, it showed me how I should treat others. I also grew in my
appreciation for my weekly coordination meetings, b/c once again, I
really do love Brother Kirk, he is great!!!!!
Saturday:
We went to the Sisters (Ball State) Baptism, did some paperwork, and
taught some lessons. We also text President and Sister Porter to see if
we could spend Sunday
night at their place. We had dinner w/ a super cute family that I love.
I am going to do something for her when I go home, so that will be fun
:) We saw Buddy, it turns out their family has been having a really
rough week, so it was good to be able to see her. Oh and no worries we
got the confirmation that we could spend Sunday night in Cinci!!!! I was ecstatic, and so super happy!
Sunday:
President called while I was in the shower and said that we were
supposed to be doing a special musical number in 2nd ward. Sister
Jacobson did some quick phone calls and worked things out so that she
played the fiddle, and Sister Hefner played the piano of Come Thou
Fount. It was sooo beautiful!!! It was a bit of a stressful morning for
her. We had dinner w/ a really cool new family. They fed us legit Indian
food, as in spicy and good. Then we drove to Cinci!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Best
way to end the day! In Cincinnati, it made me feel like I am part of the
mission and not just out there. I just love President and Sister Porter
sooo much! My life would not be the same if they were not in it. I am
soo thankful for all that they do for me. I will forever be one of their
biggest fans! :)
Monday:
We did our workout and then Sister J and I played some quick ping-pong
before our meeting started, we had to do it before everyone got there
too. I am sad to say I have lost most of my skills. Yesterday was sooo
inspiring! I learned a million things, and I am sad to say I don't have
time to tell you all now, but some other day!!!
This week we
have been invited to a few Thanksgivings, so don't worry I will be
eating some wonderful dinners. We have Zone Meeting tomorrow, we are
doing a Zone weekly planning as well. You should all make sure you check
out the church's new video that launches on my favorite Jon boy's
birthday!! Nov 28, He is the Gift is coming out and it is awesome. We
got a sneak preview!!!!!!!!!! You'll love it :)
Austin and
Kellie Happy Birthday this week. TJ Congrats on receiving the Priesthood.
Sara I am soooo sorry for your loss. I hope you know how much I love
you, and that you are in my prayers!
I love you all! Happy Thanksgiving!
Love,
Sister Christiansen
