Hello folks! Here we are again on P-day. Time today is
limited, so let's get down to business.
This week, we had a mission training. They are making some
changes to missionary work, and especially here in the philippines. We have
been a mission focused on LA members, but they want us to shift our focus more
towards investigators again. And to do that, we need to OYM and tract more.
And, they want us to teach rich people in English. WHAT?! Yes, so big changes.
We have dropped a lot of non-progressing folk and we are working like mad men
to try to find new investigators. It has been crazy, but it is yielding some good
fruit. We have a lot of people to follow up with this week. Should be a lot of
fun! I'm excited to see what will come with all the changes.
Interesting thought for the week. We are teaching a lady who
doesn't believe that Jesus was crucified. She is way into the bible and
studying. At first, my only thought was how in the world can you believe that
if you read the bible? And still, I am a little baffled there. The whole Old
Testament points to the fact that Christ would be slain for us and that through
His blood, we could become clean. And in the New Testament, Jesus and the
apostles teach about the sacrifice of the Atonement and how we need it to be
cleansed and resurrected. And it just got me thinking about how crazy hard
Satan is trying to deceive the whole world and how he will go to any lengths to
do it. How lucky we are for the knowledge we have of the gospel and the plan of
salvation and how lucky we are to be able to share it with everyone else!
Spread the word!
We had an opportunity to bless a child this week that was
bitten by a child and was having issues with rabies. That was awesome!
I forgot! Back for transfers, we were trying to get the
sisters headed off to their new areas. We were sending them in taxis. We tried
to flag down a bunch, but they weren't stopping. We flagged one that passed and
then came back. Said he just felt like he needed to come back for us. Awesome.
Promptings of the Holy Ghost can touch even people that aren't members.
Hopefully, the sisters shared with him.
And we have been having flooding like crazy! Rainy season is
officially upon us. It has been wonderful! It's made for a very good
time!
Man, there is so much more to share, but no time to share
it. Sorry! I will hit you all with a few pics and then I must be off!!
Nope, joke lang! My computer doesn't want me to put up pics.
Sorry, next week na lang!!! Well, have a wonderful week! Share the gospel with
your friends! And be good!
Much love,
Elder Christensen
