Transfer 5 week 4: March 4, 2013

皆様こんにちは！

I can't even believe that it's already week 4!  AHHH!   Why is time going so quickly!?

This week was crazy busy.  We saw so many amazing miracles, I doubt I'll even be able to talk about half of them!  I'm going to go day by day... but a little out of order today.  I want to save the biggest thing for last. :-) I'm going to keep each day fairly short so I can have enough time for everything though!

Tuesday:

While housing, we ran into these two ladies walking their dogs.  We stopped and were able to talk to them for about 30 minutes about our Eikaiwa class and they seemed to have a real interest!  Mostly this was just entertaining because of how they treated us.  One of the other missionaries (who is about to go home) was saying "What am I going to do when I get back to America and nobody looks at me like I'm a movie star anymore!?"  xD  That is SO true.  That's how these 2 ladies were treating us. :P

Wednesday:

One of the busiest days of my mission so far.  We had back to back lessons and 2 lessons actually overlapped a little... I got back this night and collapsed in my futon.  My companion did the same thing.  We were SO tired. xD

Wednesday morning we had a big study meeting with all of the shimai in our Zone and the Zone Leaders at the Senior Couples house. Oh my gosh it was awesome.  We had delicous pancakes and it was seriously like visiting grandmas house!  :-) I loved it.  On the train there, we met a very interesting woman who about died when she met us.  She basically just told us her whole life story and then left. :P  I love being a missionary.

After the study meeting we had a lesson with Hasegawa姉妹 which was good, but we kept getting calls during it and we didn't know who it was.  Turns it out it was our next appointment (Bi) calling and saying she couldn't come... So instead we actually had time to prep for Eikaiwa! (OH!  And the Elders got sick this week so we had to do Eikaiwa by ourselves this week... That was kind of interesting.) Then we headed out to Mitaka for a lesson with Makita.  We met our joint at the eki and then walked to where we were supposed to meet her. When we got there, I couldn't help but glance through the window of a nearby resteraunt. (I was hungry. :P)  There was a girl who looked about 16 or 17 sitting there crying... Right before coming there, we had bought these treats called Taiyaki (look them up. They're delicious.) and I had the thought come to me "You should go give her your taiyaki!"  So, Long姉妹 and I walked in, went up to this random teenage girl, and gave her some taiyaki.  :P  She looked at me and said she remembered seeing me in the window!  I said that I noticed her crying and I wanted to help her... My goal was to cheer her up... Her reaction was to cry harder. ;)  Hahahaha!  She thanked us over and over again for the taiyaki and said she didn't really want to talk about what was wrong.  We talked to her a little bit about things like school.  She said that she was really surprised to see us though... Apparently, just that morning her teacher gave them all a lecture about how they needed to join a church... and then we showed up. :-)  We gave her our number and told her to call us any time. We want to help. :-)  Then unfortunately we had to leave.  I haven't seen her since, but it was such a good experience anyway.

The lesson with Makita didn't go extremely well... She left for Chiba for a month to do missionary stuff for her church... Yeah, we're not sure what to think right now. Please pray for her. :)

My Eikaiwa class had 15 people today!  I was told by several of them though that I was a very good English teacher and that I should stay in Japan after my mission and teach English.  :-) That was a major self esteem boost.

Thursday:

We had a really powerful lesson with Yuka. She had a dream on Wednesday night about her Dad who died about 6 months ago.  She said that she dreamed he and her mom were in the room next door and she was worried about them, but then she went to check on him and he said "Don't worry about me.  I'm very comfortable".  She said she felt peace, but when she woke up she realized it was all a dream.  She started to cry and said "I just can't believe that my dad doesn't exist anymore."  We re-explained the post-mortal life specificially about the spirit world. We said that the people in the spirit world really are just that close and that maybe Heavenly Father was sending you a message in your dream.  Maybe he wants you to know that your dad really isn't that far.  He's just in the next room and he's comfortable.  He's just waiting. :-)  It was such a good lesson.  And MIRACLE! She agreed to come to the church next week to have a church tour!  Please pray that it goes well!

We also met with Naoko and asked her about how prayer is going.  She said that she feels so much peace now that she's praying every day.  You could literally see it. Last time we met with her she was SO stressed out, but Thursday... she was just relaxed and calm!  She says she knows that God is answering her prayers when she prays and she says she wants us to keep teaching her how to be happy.  :-D  YAY!

Thursday night we taught Matsuoka-san and her son Tatsuki how to sing Families Can Be Together Forever in English.  They both seemed to really enjoy it!

Friday Afternoon/Saturday:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!!!!!

On Friday we had a BIG conference, after which all the shimai went on kokans (Exchanges).  This time I went to.... URAYASU!!! :-D :-D :-D  Sister Lundy and I were companions again for a day and Sister Facer came back to Kichijoji to be companions with Long shimai again for a day. :-)  On the train ride to Urayasu, Sister Lundy and I were just sitting around talking about the different experiences we've been having lately and this guy came up to us.  He asked if we spoke English and said "I'm sorry.  I've been watching you both for a while and I just had the thought come to my head that I needed to talk to you..."  Turns out he lives in Koiwa which is very close to Urayasu and had an interest in Eikaiwa.  We got his number and asked if it was okay to give it to our friends in Koiwa.  I don't know what will happen with that, but it was a cool experience. :-)

Because we were talking to that guy, we missed our stop on the train... :P  So we got on another train to get back to Urayasu!  Again, Sister Lundy and I were just talking when I heard a woman behind us say "That's English!"  I turned around and apologized for being kind of loud.  Her eyes got big and she said "You speak Japanese?!"  I smiled and said "A little.  I'm learning". (This was all in Japanese by the way.  She didn't speak any English.)  She asked what we were doing in Japan.  We talked about how we taught a free English class and she freaked.  She said she's been searching for a long time for an English class!  When we gave her a chirashi for ours she seriously died.  I'm not sure which area's Eikaiwa she'll be going to, but she will DEFINITELY be there. :-)

In Urayasu I was able to visit the Bishop's wife and the flower shop lady (Chizuko) and KAORI!  :-D  It was so much fun.  Friday night, we got a call from Helen.  She told us that she'd done a bad thing... She said that she felt REALLY guilty and that she didn't think that Heavenly Father could forgive her for what she did.  I talked to her for a little while (without telling her who it was) and she said towards the end that she felt a bit better.  I asked her if she knew who it was talking to her and told her it was me. She got SO excited.  I told her that it was a miracle that she called that night because it was the only night that I would be in Urayasu. She said she knew that was true.  I hope she's doing okay.  :-)

On Saturday we had lunch with one of the Young Women from Urayasu (Family: If you care, Sarasa. :-D) It was SO good to see her again.  After that, I went back to Kichijoji! Saturday evening in Kichijoji was amazing though.  Elder and Sister Aoyagi, and Elder and Sister Callister (From the Quorum of the 70) came to Kichijoji and spoke. All of the talks were amazing, but especially Sister Callister.  Sister Callister stood up and the first thing she said was "I feel inspired to change my message to you tonight."  The message she gave was exactly what I needed to hear.  I won't go into details (sorry), but I needed it.  :-)

Now... The best for last.

Friday Morning:

I woke up at 5:45 with butterflies, anxiety, and just excitement.  We left the apartment at 6:30 and rode the train for about an hour to Hiro-o (where the temple is).  We went to the Temple Annex and there were already a ton of missionaries gathered there for the conference.  There was a buzz of excitement everywhere. :-)  Then, Sister Facer and I went to where the missionary choir was practicing because she and I were singing in it together.  (Sister Long and Sister Lundy became companions while we were doing that.)  President and Sister Budge looked REALLY stressed out (and probably were!  xD).  At 8:30 everyone was in their seats studying their scriptures, praying - a few people were even crying already. :P  I was just praying the whole time that I would be able to really feel the spirit and learn what Heavenly Father wanted me to learn from the conference.  Then the door opened.  President Budge walked in and motioned for everyone to stand - which we did - and then in walked Elder Russell M. Nelson of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles.  :-)  He stood at the front of the room and announced that he wanted to shake everyone's hands at the beginning instead of at the end. Oh my gosh.  It was amazing.  :-D

I wish I could write about everything that happened, but I just wouldn't have the time!  We listened to talks from President and Sister Budge, Elder and Sister Ringwood (Of the 70 - also Elder Nelson's daughter), and of course Elder and Sister Nelson.  It was incredibly powerful.  (Family:  This part is for you. :-)  I have a message for you guys from the Quorum of the 12 Apostles.  Especially for Mom and Dad.  He said to tell you Thank You.  He said that we were one of the best groups of missionaries he's ever seen and he knows that our families were a big reason for that.  He called us "Messengers fit for the message".) It was an amazing experience. Really. :-)  There was SO much I learned from it, but I don't have time to talk about all of it.  One of my favorite things said though was said by Sister Nelson.  In the middle of the meeting, Elder Nelson invited all the Elders to take off their jackets.  Sister Nelson said "What if Elder Nelson had said something else instead? What if he had said 'any of you who would like, come with me right now to the temple. It's time to meet the Savior'? How would you have felt? It's going to happen someday. Are you ready?"

I'm so grateful to be a missionary. :-)  I love this gospel. I know that it's true.  This gospel is a message of peace, love, and hope and it will bring happiness into the lives of all those who receive it.  Thomas S. Monson is God's living prophet here on the Earth.  Joseph Smith truly saw God and Jesus Christ.  The Book of Mormon is true and it's proof of our message.  If there is anyone who reads this who is not reading the Book of Mormon - READ IT.  It is God's word and it is true. 

I love Japan. :-)  I love my companion!  I love everything about my life right now. (Except the lack of dryers. ;D)  I'm so grateful to all of you at home and for your prayers on my behalf.  I feel them. Every day.  They help me.  Please continue to pray for me and my investigators.  I can use all the help I can get out here. :-)

I love you all!  Have a fantastic week!

Love,

Christine

Transfer 5 Week 3: February 25, 2013

皆様こんにちわ！

今週はすばらしかったですね！あなた様たちも楽しい週があったこと望んでいます！

This week was awesome!  :-)  I hope you guys all had a great week too!

First, thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers!  I really felt the power of them this week!  You all are so amazing and I'm SO lucky to have so much support from home.  I love you all!  :-D

So 2 really big things happened this week... 1: My birthday!  And 2: The Announcement.  Here we go!

My Birthday!:

I had such an amazing birthday.  It was actually really weird to think that exactly one year before I was opening my call saying I was going to Tokyo Japan.  I remember thinking that I'd be spending my next birthday in Tokyo and I couldn't believe it!  Craziness!  :-)

Thursday night, Long姉妹 and I stayed up really late talking as we tend to do... (I'm such a bad example... Future missionaries!  Don't do that!  :P)  We ended up talking until midnight so Long姉妹 sang a half asleep happy birthday and then we went to sleep. xD  Friday morning, I walked into the study room to find a handmade card from Long姉妹　on my desk!  There's a picture attached to this email of it. :-)

Then, it was time for Companion Study.  We always start off companion study with a song and a prayer.  Long姉妹　and I have been singing all the hymns in order.  When I opened up to the hymn we were singing there was a big sticky note on the song and instead the words to "Happy Birthday to you!" were written!  Then Long姉妹　started singing Happy Birthday again.  xD

But wait!  There's more.  ;)

After Companion Study we headed to the church because we had District Meeting.  When I got there we greeted everybody and it was all exactly the same as normal.  (I hadn't told anyone but Long姉妹 that it was my birthday so I didn't expect anything. :D)  We sang the closing hymn and said the closing prayer and everyone stood up to leave.  Then the District Leader (Mori長老) said "We have one more secret announcement!  Today is Grosland姉妹's birthday!"  So everyone sang Happy Birthday and the District Leader had baked me a birthday cake that we all ate!  The other 姉妹 in our District had made mochi so we all ate that too!  It turns out that Long姉妹 called the District Leader on Thursday night while I was in the shower and told him to spread the word to the District.  :-)  Don't I have the BEST companion ever!? Then we went with the other 姉妹 to this DELICIOUS raman shop!  Of course we took pictures... on someone else's camera... We haven't gotten them yet.  xD

After that we went into normal dendo time!  The Kichijoji sisters got a referral a while ago that they tried to contact, but the sister wasn't home so we decided to try her again!  Turns out... she wasn't home again. :P  So instead we decided to go streeting and kubari and such. (I really hope that everyone understands my missionary language. :P)   In the middle of our kubari kai (Handing out flyers session :P)  This guy who was obviously drunk walks up to Long姉妹 and starts babbling at her for about 20 minutes.  xD  I asked her later what they talked about and apparently all he wanted to do was talk about the JFK Assassination...?  I laughed so hard.  You should have seen her face. x)

We also talked to a bunch of kids on the way home who said they knew who Jesus was! (Which is crazy in Japan...)  We gave them some flyers for Eikaiwa (English Class) and church and they said they'd talk to their parents about it because they really want to come! Yay!  After that we headed back to the apartment to do some study and follow up.

Back at the apartment, we got a surprise phone call from Naoko!  She said that she was really upset and needed to talk. She asked if we could meet in about a half hour or so and of course we agreed. We met at the church and she brought these super expensive delicious... things.  xD  They were like dumplings or something.  I don't really know but they were SO good.  Then she started telling us about her problem. We ended up giving her a quick introduction of the Book of Mormon and reading it together.  She kept saying she didn't know why her life was so hard.  She said she's trying so hard to be good, but she's still miserable.  We shared Mosiah 2:41 with her and as we read it she kept saying "That's exactly right!"  We promised her that by keeping God's commandments and doing what God asks she would be blessed with happiness.  We told her "This is what we do all day!  Teach people about God's commandments so they can be happier!  Won't you let us teach you?"  She agreed.  :-)  So from now on we're going to start having real lessons with her.  YAY!

But as if that wasn't enough to make an awesome dendo birthday...

All day we were playing phone tag with the Urayasu Sisters.  Finally, after Naoko's lesson, when I called them they answered... I was surprised to hear a Chinese accent singing Happy Birthday!  HELEN!!!!! :-D :-D :-D  I freaked out.  x) She did too though. ;)  She asked me how I liked Kichijoji and I said I loved it!  Then the best part of my birthday happened... "Sister Grosland, will you come to my baptism?  I will be baptized on March 31st!  Will you come?" I freaked out more and said "YES OF COURSE!"  Then I paused for a second and said "Wait... March 31st... Isn't that your birthday?!"  She gasped a little bit and then said "Yes!"  Next thing I new Facer姉妹 was on the phone saying "She's crying!  We'll call you guys back when we get home!  Tell Helen you love her!" Which of course I did. x)  Turns out the Helen was super surprised when Lundy姉妹 and Facer姉妹 remembered her birthday.  They told her "Of course we remember! We love you and want to help you!"  So then when I remembered it was her birthday too she got a bit emotional. :-)  I LOVE HER!  :-D

And that was my birthday!  Best dendo birthday ever! :-)

The Announcement:

Now for the big thing!  On Saturday morning we went to a Relief Society activity that started at 10am.  When we got there at 9:45 we got an email from the honbu (Mission... Headquarters?) saying that there was going to be a special announcment on the Mission Website from President Budge at 10am that we all needed to watch.  We were like, well... that's too bad. We'll watch it later. :P

During the activity I was standing around listening to some of the SA's talking (Listening to them talk is like a real test of your Japanese skills... They use so much slang and such that it's SO hard to keep up.  xD) trying to understand what they were saying.  I understood that they were talking about missions and mission presidents and stuff... and then they were like "I wonder what will happen to the missionaries in Tokyo! Sister Grosland!  Do you know?"  I said "Huh?"  Then they were like "Well, they'll probably split them too, right?"  Then it hit me.  I said "Wait, WHAT?"

With the increase of missionaries (We're about to hit 60,000 missionaries worldwide!) they announced the opening of tons of new missions!  Including the opening of the Japan Tokyo South Mission.  I'll tell as much as I know which isn't much...

President Budge will continue to be the mission president of the Japan Tokyo Mission, and his current Bishop (xD), Bishop Wada, has been called as the Mission President of the Japan Tokyo South Mission.  Kichijoji is going to be made into the Honbu for the Japan Tokyo South Mission.  Some of the missionaries currently in the Japan Tokyo Mission will be going to the Japan Tokyo South Mission.  This is all starting in July. :-)  That's about all that I know.

When Long姉妹 heard all this she started to freak out.  July is the start of her last transfer as a missionary.  She's worried that all of the friends she's made here are going to be sent to a different mission and she wasn't going to see them again...  As for my reaction to the announcment... I'm stoked. :-)  This to me is really just more evidence of the Lord hastening his work!  Every day I'm seeing more and more manifestations of how close the second coming is.  I'm excited because this means we're one step closer!! :-D  I don't even mind where I get sent at this point.  If there's one big thing I've learned so far on my mission it's that Heavenly Father knows what's going on a LOT better than I do.  He will put me where I need to be.  "I'll go where [He] wants me to go." :-)

And those were the two exciting things of this week! :-)  I hope you guys all had a fantastic week!  Again, thank you for the prayers!  I love you all and I'm praying for all of you! :-D

Love,

Christine

Transfer 5 week 2: February 17, 2013

Oh my gosh.  I'm going on week 2 of Transfer 5... that's SO crazy.  Time is flying so fast!  I wish it would slow down!!  Next month I reach my halfway mark... It's hard to believe.  There are times when I wish it would go faster and (most times) when I wish it would go slower...

Anyway.

皆様！おはいようございます！

今週は本当に楽しかった！いっぱい奇跡を見ました。楽しんでください！

So this week I figured I'd start with a kyudosha update and then fill you in on the fun stuff of the week. :-)  Here we go!

Naoko: Naoko was the first investigator here in Kichijoji that I met!  Her mom was diagnosed with Lukemia(Yeah, I know that's spelled completely wrong. :P) and her Dad is too old to take care of her so Naoko has been taking care of her two parents and their bakery for a long time now.  She feels super trapped and hates Japan.  She really wants to move to America and live there, but she feels like she can't leave her parents... Luckily, she recently started a new job selling watches so she's able to save up more money to someday go to America!  This week she's been struggling a lot.  We asked her if she wanted to meet sometime this week to talk and she agreed to meet later that day! (This was on Monday, my first day in Kichijoji.)  We talked with her a lot about prayer and invited her to try praying every day for a week. She agreed.  On Wednesday, during Eikaiwa we missed a call from her and then got an email. That day, her Dad left the apartment and just a few minutes later there was a major accident in front of her house.  She thought it was her Dad and ran outside to find out.  When it turned out it wasn't, she called us to tell us that prayer worked!  She said that she knows it was because she prayed that her dad was kept safe and she will 是対 keep praying.  We love her SO much!

Bi Shin: Bi is a woman from China who is super sweet.  I wish you could see her hair.  It's awesome.  She keeps it in a super big bun on top of her head that is HUGE.  It suits her though.  x)  She's met with the missionaries a few times now, but she's yet to make any real progress.  We met with her on Tuesday and taught her a lot about prayer as well. She admited to us that she doesn't believe that God exists.  We had a really powerful lesson where I promised her that if she would pray and just ask if God is there, He would answer her prayers and she would know He exists and loves her.  She agreed to try praying every day for a week to see if anything changes.  We invited her to come to church too, but she said that she can't.  Her husband would find out.  Apparently her husband is very much hantai (opposed) to all things religious.  She's been keeping her meeting us a secret from him and if she went to church he'd find out... Chotto mondai... (It's kind of a problem...)  We're not sure what to do there, but I know Heavenly Father will help us out.

Makita: This one is one of my favorites. x)  Makita is a missionary from another church.  She and her companion met the Elders on a street called Sun Road and stopped to talk to them.  She said she was interested in learning more about what we believe so the Elders got her contact info and referred her to us!   We met her this week on Valentines Day!  We went with her to 31 Ice Cream (Baskin Robbins) and she told us all about what her church believes.  We were a bit worried that she might've only met with us to try to dendo us... But then she started asking us about what we believe.  She asked if we could go to the church and take a tour!  We taught her about the Restoration and she said she believes that Joseph Smith was a prophet!  But she also believes in her religion... Basically, she doesn't believe in the Resurrection.  She believes that Jesus Christ is just a spirit and that He doesn't have a body.  She also believes that the Second Coming has already happened.  The Spirit of Jesus Christ entered the body of this Korean man... who died last year... yup.  She's super interesting.  She asked for a copy of the Book of Mormon and kept asking us for different sections to read.  We ended up giving her like 6 chapters to read... but she kept asking for more! :P

Those are the three big ones!  We have a few others (Hasegawa, Yuka, and Oikawa are the names I'll probably use the most in my emails), but these are our focus investigators.

We saw so many miracles with our investigators and even just on our own!  For example, we had a lesson with Yuka this week and afterward it was raining SUPER hard... but we had a 45 minute bike ride back to the apartment.  About 5 minutes after we left Yuka's apartment my gloves were soaked through and my hands were freezing.  I was actually worried that (because I had such a long bike ride ahead of me) I could get a little frost bite from the cold.  I prayed over and over again that Heavenly Father would help my hands to stay warm.  After praying, my hands felt like they were holding on to hand warmers. By the time I got back to the apartment, my hands weren't even numb!  (Everything else was though.  xD)

I know Heavenly Father is looking out for us and loves every one of us.  :-)  The church is true!  Keep praying for me!  I love you guys!  Have a fantastic week!

Transfer 5 Week 1: February 11, 2013

皆様こんにちわ！

You guys ready for this weeks email?!  It's going to be fun!  ;)

This last week was fairly crazy...  It was my last week in Urayasu so we did our best to visit everyone we possibly could for 2 reasons... 1: to say goodbye of course. :P And 2: To help Sister Lundy and Sister Facer get the hang of the area and feel comfortable with each of the investigators. 

Helen unfortunately wasn't able to be baptized, but she still says she wants to and she's agreed to continue meeting with Sister Lundy and Sister Facer every week.  Thank goodness. :-)

Kaori actually came to church my last Sunday there!  She didn't come to Sacrament Meeting but the fact that she came for ANY of it was a miracle! 

Nishizawa LOVES Sister Facer.  They clicked really well thank goodness. :-)  Apparently they're going to be meeting with her later this week to make some Apple Jam and gyoza!  I'm kind of jealous.  ;)

I don't know if any of you remember Hiro from my third transfer or not... He's in the hospital right now, but he called us on Sunday and said a 10 minute long prayer over the phone that I would be kept safe and that I would like my new area.  It was really sweet of him.  :-)

And that was pretty much the state I left Urayasu in!  :-)  Saturday night Sister Facer, Sister Lundy, and I had a little goodbye party in the apartment.  We went to Pizza Hut (that I've passed like a million times but never noticed!), bought a "Large" pizza and some mochi and stuff, and blasted Motab. ;)  It was the best ever. xD

Noooow!  :-)

Transfer Calls came on Friday this last week.  When the phone rang, all three of us started screaming!  I was SO nervous!  I put the phone on speaker so all three of us would find out at the same time where I was going.  Elder Hamada was the one who gave it to me.  He said (in Japanese) "Sister Grosland!  President Budge and The Assistants have been praying about this next transfer for several weeks and we believe that this transfer call is God's will for you.  Are you ready?  Sister Grosland.  You will be transferring... to Kichijoji!"

All three of us freaked out.  Kichijoji was Sister Facers area before she came to Urayasu!  It is the heart of Tokyo.  Our mission 本部(Google translate that one. xD) is in a city called Nakano.  Kichijoji is the next area over from Nakano so it is definitely city!  It's been so fun!  There are SO many people.  I love it already!  I actually kokan'ed (Went on Exchanges) here when I got transfer calls last transfer so I'd been here fairly recently.  I love it though.  It's been a crazy couple of days.  :-)

Kichijoji has about 130 active members and right now we have about 7(?) investigators.  I met one of them yesterday (Naoko is her name) and it was so fun.  She really wants to be American. xD

As for my new companion...

Her name is Sister Long!!!  x)

No, not the same one from the MTC. :P  She's in Kobe.  I first met Sister Long on my very first kokan (Exchange).  For all my Space Center friends who read this... She's Matt Long's cousin. :-)  She is a spiritual giant!  I'm SO excited to be her companion this transfer.  She loves Doctor Who (Ronnie!  She freaked when she saw the TARDIS key chain on my backpack.  xD She's super jealous.) but when she found out that I liked it too she was like "It's too bad I'm consecrated or we would talk ALL day about Doctor Who!"  xD  She works so hard and is definitely here for all the right reasons.  I'm excited to work with her. :-)

This transfer is going to be really exciting!  We're pretty sure that next transfer both Sister Long and I will be made trainers so we've agreed that this transfer is about training each other to be trainers.  :-)

That's all I really have to talk about this week!  I love you all!  Have a HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!  :-)  Eat lots of chocolate and pretend I gave it to you!  ;)

Hope to hear from you!

Love,

Christine
