Holy SMOKES!!!
I am SOOOOO blessed. I have more emails than EVER this week and
each one is soooo long and I don't have time to even read them so I can
reply!! AHHH So I skimmed....
1st-Hayley from last week. I loved your disordered eater thing!
haha Too true! But my companions agree SO strongly. But the thing is I
don't just eat the same thing over and over cause I have less taste buds
or something... To be honest, I think it's just cause I'm Lazy!
haha. I pick the yummiest/easiest thing to make and I eat it over and
over again cause I can't be bothered with something else! :) My
companions think it's ridiculous... it kind of is!! But yea... I wish I
could claim a disorder, but I think the best title is laziness. Why
make an extravagant dinner when I'm just as happy with mini-wheats that
take 0.5 min preparation :)
Dustin- Thanks for the email! I'll for sure read it and look
forward to what potential ridiculousness awaits... PLEASE tell Jarom
that I LOVED his letter. "read if you dare!" I DARED!! I loved reading
it and I made all the sisters on Temple Square fall in love with him! I will hang the picture in my little office :) and I will reply soon!!
Aunty Beryl- Thanks so much for your email! It's so good to hear
from you! I cannot wait to sit down and take my time to read through it,
but as I skimmed it sounds like all is well! I actually had some sister
missionaries tell me that they saw my twin cousins!! (I assume Tammy
and Mandy!) The sisters said they were gorgeous, petite and had a million
kids.... YUP!!! Sounds like the Jubbers were in town!!! haha I
would've loved to see them since they were here, but I was in the office
and only found out after. But tell them I got the message and love them!
I love YOU soooo much!! Tell the whole gang hello for me!
Britt and Mom..... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!
Ok.... so the title big news.... I figured- yup! YAY
DISNEYLAND!!!.... and also Allison Brown had written me this week and
told me Miss Meliss was engaged.... so I then figured that was the big
news (which it is!!! VERY big news!! Tell her Congratulations, I love
her tons, and I TOTALLY called it. They will be a fabulous couple, but
I'll write her and Allison back soon) OK but wow wow WOW...... I did
not see THAT one coming!!
CONGRATULATIONS BRITTANY!!!
You're so beautiful and amazing and Jason is one VERY lucky fellow.
I just cannot even believe it!!!! I figured something must be on since I
saw you two together last month, but I had no idea!!! AHHH Ok... WOW!!! When I was skimming I just saw "Britt's engaged" and I YELLED- yes
literally screamed- here in the office and disturbed all the sisters
around me.... kinda embarrassing!!! I started getting emotional, so I
haven't really got to read anything from the email cause it was hard
to... (weird reaction... my eyes started leaking or something ;) ) haha
but yea! WOW ok... I'm going back to skim a little more... ok.....
December....? spring...? Salt Lake Temple... ok ok... wow funny conversation with Dad. I have to read this in detail later. This is so wonderful!! BUT IN SHORT...
Congrats Future Mrs Christensen!!! I love you SOOOOO Much!!! You
will definitely be in my prayers and I'm so excited for you to have
those wonderful promised blessings of the temple. Keep close to the
Lord, more than ever before. I know he loves us so much and he loves you
so incredibly much!!
Sorry I feel that this letter is so incoherent. I have no idea how
to express or react but I am very excited for you. I'm so happy that you
are happy. And tell Jason congrats and welcome into our crazy Mullen
family (soon!). He should write me now too ;) I want ALLL the details,
pictures! The ring... the proposal... the plans! I love YOU!!!!
Anyways, since I'm not really saying anything logical, I should just say I love you all so much. Wow- our family is amazing.
This week for me (this is so silly now to talk about me...) it's
been good. Super major ups and downs, but hey! That's mission life.
Yesterday however was truly a day of miracles. It seemed that the Lord
just answered my prayers again and again, usually through other people
and I was so happy. As I called people, I was so blessed to get a hold
of the most incredibly prepared people and set up many teaching
appointments. Also, Kris had me call some people, and since I knew one
of them I had Sis Schiaffi call... my dear dear friend C*****!! She did
Safari with Kris and I was so blessed to be friends with her this
summer. I actually got to help teach with the missionaries a few times,
so I'm so excited that now she'll be meeting with them again and I know
this gospel brings such a happiness. The restoration of the
priesthood was so essential, and so many people do not know or
understand that need, but as they learn and find that out for
themselves, the joy it brings as we apply the teachings are undeniable!
One story was a man who called in. He had a pass-along card for
three years sitting my his computer screen of the Savior arising from
the Tomb. He said that that picture of Christ has helped him through
some of the hardest times in his life- his dad's death and now his
divorce, and he wanted to finally call in and I guess thank us and get
the DVD associated with the picture so he could watch it with his 10
year old son. I get to continue teaching him and he's really looking
forward to the missionaries coming over and he hopes they can come when
his son is there so they can learn together in these troubled times.
WOW!!! He's just amazing and so prepared. I know this gospel brings
families closer together, so I'm excited for him to learn and apply this
to his life. So he's just one of the many I've been blessed to meet. I
got to call some sisters' friends and now get to teach them. So many are
receptive to this message! All it takes is for us to open our mouths!!
It's just amazing
I even had an amazing conversation with a Jehovah's
witness today. Very devout, and actually by the end of the conversation
her talk had completely changed. She has an amazing faith in Christ and
she was like, "Well sure, why wouldn't there be another book? If so, every
one needs to at one point in their life find out for themselves whether
this is really true. God would want us to have that when he gives
another record." I challenged her to actually do it, and she's now going
to read and pray about the Book of Mormon. Amazing! She loves the family
values and the need for a restoration even made sense to her. She's
super devout, but seriously the change I saw occur during the course of
that one phone call was a miracle to me. And I know that we're promised
as we sincerely read and pray we will receive that answer, and I know
she'll come to see that it truly is the word of God, translated in these
days by the power of God by Joseph Smith. Amazing. The power of prayers
and faith of these members who allow us to call there friends is
amazing. I love calling people- they're just AMAZING!!
Well... I need to go! Time's running short and I've rambled a lot,
but the work is going forth! Thank you (Mom Dad and especially Bronx)
for entertaining the different sisters calling for numbers... I'm
excited to be able to reach to those I love who do not have the gospel.
Hopefully it will touch their hearts as well.
Congratulations AGAIN Britt. You will be the most beautiful bride.
You are so sweet and pure in every way and I love you. Thanks for your
love and example and keep me posted as you endeavor on this big step of
life! (I know you will probably be super busy, but try to not completely
forget me!)
Lots and lots of love!!!
Sister Mullen
ps- sorry if this is all scrambled!!! haha.... I guess that's nothing too new coming from Kamikaze Kim... :) Love ya!
