Hey fam! It was a crazy week this week. It was also a crazy
busy week. So here's how things went down.
The day after last p-day was transfer day. We had to get all
our missionaries out the door and to wherever they needed to go and then
collect all the new incoming missionaries. That was pretty crazy. But ended up
not being difficult at all and luckily, we had no problems! So that was
good!
But my area just split and we added two more missionaries to
the house. So we spent the day introducing the two new missionaries to their
area. It was a long day with a lot of lessons. Crazy stuff. Super good. Kind of
sad to give our investigators over, but now they will be able to get a lot more
focus and attention, so it's an awesome trade!
The next day was spent at a meeting. Way awesome. President
Sperry is amazing. I love every time he speaks to us. He knows how to unfold
the scriptures and pick out incredible principles in a way I don't know that I
will ever be able to come close to! I love it! I feel like I learn so much from
him.
The rest of our work days were spent inviting people to
attend general conference. Which was INCREDIBLE! Man, I love conference! There
was a huge turn out in our stake too. Don't know how many of them were our
people. Good turn out though. I loved a lot of the talks. Just a few, the one
from Elder Uchtdorf about you can do it now. Awesome. The one from Elder
Hamilton about holding fast to the rod. Way sweet. Of course, President Monson,
Elder Holland, Elder Bednar, and Elder Eyring. All awesome. But that's just to
mention a few. There were soo many good talks! It was an incredibly inspiring
conference. Can't wait for the next one!
One cool story that we did have this week. There is a less
active in my area named Brother Cruz. He has been inactive for 20+ years. He is
an actor. Lives in a big house. Elder Anderson and I went and found him. The
man only speaks English to us. He's very good. But we never found a chance to
teach him. This week, we got in! We were able to teach him. He's excited for us
to come back and to share with his wife and son who are not members. He told us
he has felt something missing since he stopped going to church. It was a very
exciting lesson. Partly because it was in straight English. That was way weird.
But it was good. I hope we are able to have success with him and his
family.
Sorry. With how busy we've been, I haven't had lots of time
for pics. But there are a few. Here's a pic of an old abandoned police
headquarters. So one part of our area is a bit of a ghost town. It got flooded
way bad about two years ago, and a lot of people moved out and not a ton have
moved back in. So it's pretty quiet and there are a lot of buildings that are
just boarded up or vandalized or covered in mud. It's crazy! Tired to get a pic
of my super octopus like squid that I was eating. Really tentacle-y and what
not. But tasty. Here is our dog from next door that thinks he is a cat
and sits like a gargoyle. Cool dog. And then here are our new kabahays walking
to conference together. The one is 5' 1" and the other is 6' 7".
Great looking team huh? Haha, poor Elder Compao looks like a little kid! Love
it!
Well, that's all I've got for now! Sorry it's not tons! But
it's been great over here! Have fun reviewing conference and learning loads!
Have a good week!
Much love,
Elder Christensen
