Happy December! I can’t
believe that we're at the close of 2014 already. Time has flown... I'm going to
try typing this email first so that I have the time and I'm not attempting to
type my whole week in 10 minutes with one hand like I did last week. It's hard
being a gimp...
First off, surgery went
well! Thank you for the prayers! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be! I
haven't been in much pain since the surgery! Here's to a speedy recovery!
John and Faye are doing real
good! I just love them so much! They brought us Thanksgiving to our house on
Wednesday night since I can't drive (for obvious reasons) and we ate
together! They have just been the best! John told me yesterday that he'll be
sad to see me go. Hopefully that's not a sign that I'll be transferred for my
last transfer... We'll find out this weekend with transfer calls!
Thanksgiving was great! We
had a good few members take us under their wings. We went to lunch with Sister
Cayce at her mama's house and then we went to Sister Phyliss' house to talk
with her and Brother and Sister Byrd. We didn't have anywhere to go that
evening but that's ok because the surgery and Thanksgiving kind of exhausted
me!
All in all, the branch has
been excellent. So many people in our branch, stake and even nonmembers just
think the world of us for not giving up. I can't tell you how many people have
come up to us to tell us how proud they are for us to stick it out! I think
it's building the testimonies of the branch to let them know that this isn't
just something that we do because we're told to or feel obligated. This is
something that we do because we know it's true and because we want to
bring others to the same happiness that we receive as we fully live the gospel
of Jesus Christ.
The church is so true! I
wouldn't be out here as a crippled sister if it wasn't. I know that this
obstacle is something that I was meant to overcome and that as I do so, it will
be a stepping stone in my life! I love y'all! Have a blessed week :)
- Sister Amy Christensen,
the Crippled
Now how about that for a one
handed email ;)
