There was a land where people farmed their own food and could walk a distance and find another cottage. Christina was cozy with her mother and sister, Sarah.. She had beautiful younger siblings. She had an older brother, she obeyed.
Well, not so cozy, for she fancied off while the younger ones played and she, at 7, went a courting! There was a mysterious boy with black hair that had come to intrigue her. What color were his eyes? Hm, they look brown. That was funny, everyone in her life had blue eyes, and hers were green, blue, and yellowish brown in some lighting. So, she came back and worked hard on the farm for awhile. She played with her little sisters. "Sarah!" she called, who was taken aback that what she was to her was "just" a sister.. Would you like me to skin the pig? "Oh, no, that's man's work!"
It was time to ride to town to go to church, which was several hours away. The land opened up at the end of the wood. The year was 1750. Christina was most ecstatic and bought a pink dress with a matched bonnet that was in style. She made money from all her hard work but paid a price in looks apparently.
In church, the sermon was long, and 1 sister lay on her lap. Christina looked at her hair and then back up at the preacher.
The end, and they celebrated with candy and cookies and cake.
Christina learned ways to incorporate the Lord in her life. Christina was to take lessons on how to have tea like in England soon. She went the 1st day in her stunning thin white and red dress. She was good at enunciating for some reason, perhaps from having a bilingual father, English and German.
So, in class, Christina poured tea with elegance and some hesitation but got better. She came home and she was already mighty happy.
She learned to shoot bears, as well. She bought a book at church from preparing meat from the wood. It taught her how to not be as tense, like with a temper. She learned it was wrong to squirm and how to prevent it from happening, by taking care of herself and regularly praying to the Lord and bowing down before him as a god. She got religious tokens. She was able to leave and decided to go to Africa. Sarah followed her, and the rest of the family decided to go. Christina was able to sustain herself and was a bit rich. She preached to the Africans. She had her shots and took vitamins, as well. They had a nice house with a guarded farm sorta. They had to be careful of the wildlife. The little ones needed to be looked after. Christina was taught to wrestle snakes in the water but never actually did it. She ate bugs with them and strange things, all very delicious! She learned about their past and religion, and Christina told them who they were.
