Mulan folks. I know. You were scratching your heads. But as
you may know, transfers are upon us. And thus, the quote. Yes, I am bouncing
e'rbody! But we'll get there. Today's email will probably be short, cuz I also
need to move out of this computer shop. It's time to go! So let's hop to
business!
This week was awesome! We started the week with some crazy
rain. And as such, everything flooded! It just kept raining and raining! We got
word from the area presidency that we were not to go out and work but that we
should stay in. Poo. So we did. We spent two days inside. That put a bit of a
damper on the work. But when we got back out, we went at it with
a vengeance! It was still way tricky cuz we had to stay out of the flooded
areas (which was most of our area), but we found plenty of work to do. We were
still able to have a lot of success this week. We found a bunch of new investigators.
Tons of very good potential investigators. Just lots of good things! The work
here is going so well!!
Saturday we had the baptism for the Durado family. The mom
and her two sons were baptized. It was so sweet! It was a stake baptism, so we
had lots of candidates. President Sperry came and spoke. All in all, it was a
very special experience. I'm so happy for my little bakery family and the
changes they've been making! The dad does not want to be left out! He is all
ready to be taught! Ha, he has started setting the appointments with us and not
the other way around! It's awesome.
Then we had transfer announcements. I am out! Headed back to
Montalbon, my first zone! I am sad to be leaving this ward. I love the ward
here and the people we have to teach! Crazy how fast the time is flying! It
seems like I just got here. But I am excited to be headed back to Montalbon. If
I had to transfer, that's a pretty good place to go. My new companion will be
an American. It's his last transfer. So you know that we are going to kill the
work over there! So, it's been a busy day trying to get everything ready for me
to go and the new elder to come here to Valenzuela. I'm so glad for the things
that have happened here in this ward. For the lives I've seen change. I know this
gospel is true. Living it is the only way to find happiness in this life and
eternal happiness in the life to come. There is no other way. I'm so glad to be
a part of sharing that wonderful blessing with others! Folks! Serve missions!
It's the best!
But I'm out of time! Must be running! Still lots to do
before I head out tomorrow morning! But first, pics!
Loads of pics. As in literally, a few hundred pics this
week. So I can't even begin to send everything. But a few of the flooding.
After we were allowed back outside. So it was way down. But still flooded! And
then our sweet baptism!!! Us with our district right after our last district
meeting. Boy are we going to miss our little zone leaders! One of me and my
snake friend. DON'T LET G-MA SEE! A picture of the Costales clan at FHE. They
threw us quite the going away party. And then a pic of me and Elder
Bustillo (also transferring) and two of the coolest members ever! It's just a
sample. Sorry, I can't send em all. But no worries. We will have TONS of pics
to look at when I get home! But that's all for now!!\
I love you all! Have a fantastic week!
Much love,
Elder Christensen
