First Email!!!!

We got our first email from Christi last Monday, and we were all so excited. I am going to post a few of the things she wrote in her email...

"Okay so I told you about my first day! My companion is Sister Smoot, she's from Kaysville and no she does not know any Havens' :) ha ha I already asked her! But yeah she's cool. We are just learning to get along with each other but she really does bring such a sweet spirit to our companionship. Okay so Thursday we taught our first lesson. We have two teachers and they are acting as investigators. We get to teach them lessons so Thursday was our first. We taught him about baptism and got him to accept an invite to be baptized! Ha ha it was crazy cause we planned our lesson to focus on the Plan of Salvation and the Spirit totally took over and we taught about something completely different. It really is such an amazing thing to be able to be used by the Spirit like that. Very surrreal for sure. We've been talking about our purpose as missionaries and its really a cool theme. It goes like this "Invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored Gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end." Really cool!!! And so amazing how you can totally tie it in to every lesson you give!! "

"I will not look at the scriptures the same anymore. Its amazing how excited I get about the gospel and the scriptures and learning more and more every day since being here. And regardless of how tired I am because we do so much, its bearable because I have the Spirit with me... "

"The Spirit definitely makes it better. I love this gospel. IT really is so amazing and I'm so excited to be able to share it with others!!"

She is doing so awesome, and we are all so proud of her!!!

Here is a picture of Christi with my Grandma Nelson before she left. So cute!
