Na,
I'm just joshin ya, I'm staying here haha. So are both of my comps for another
six weeks at least, it is the opposite of madness!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s
still way hot here, like upper 90s to 110 every day, so I don't need a coat for
a while, but I may need one apparently some areas get cold. I am excited to be
cold I have forgotten what it feels like, it is sad.
So
this week started off the slowest week of my life. Then it took a sudden turn
for the best week ever, no joke. People were haten' at the beginning and
bringing us down, then on Thursday night we were riding our bikes by the
football stadium and there was a game going on and everyone was there.
Everyone... and there was this girl in college all painted up and dancing
around. Then she saw us. This is a direct quote from her mouth. "Hey look,
it’s the missionaries, cool" then gave us all high fives. Let me break
this beautiful sentence down for y'all out there. 1) "Hey", she said
hello to us first, with a smile 2) she called us "the missionaries",
not satan worshippers, polygamists, or Mormons, 3) "cool", that was
so cool she was happy to see us. It goes to show how much one little happy
hello can do for a person. I will never take that for granted again.
Then
the next day I was riding my bike down the road and all of the sudden my whole
peddle thing fell off and I go flying into the middle of the street almost
dying it was awesome, biggest rush of the mission haha. But now we are without
bikes. So we are now given the gift of our own two feet and we get to walk/run
to every appointment... God bless Texas. But because of this gift we got to eat
at three different BBQs yesterday. We didn't teach very much, because everyone
was plastered, but we didn't want to be rude, so we had to eat haha. I didn't
know what true BBQ was... I'm blessed haha.
Then
Saturday we got transfer calls and it was like Christmas waiting for the phone
to ring, haha no joke, it seriously was crazy everyone was jumping around and
stuff.
Then
yesterday was the best, we had three investigators at church and all of them
cried! Good tears.
So we
are teaching this girl named Wendy, she is 41 and seriously the coolest
sweetest person on the planet and is trying to turn her life around from her
past. I have a testimony that talks in church are seriously inspired so listen
to them. Every one. I promise you won’t be let down.
K, so
this week we were having a lesson at Wendy’s house and a little background (her
best friend is a stripper and she leaves her daughter at Wendy's all the time,
but she is seriously so nice and so cool, and so is her daughter and they are
all taking the lessons with Wendy so that’s cool) but Wendy lives in these way
bad apartments with a ton of bad people and a meth lab upstairs. So we were
teaching a lesson and the person knocks on the door and we open it and the
person just drops to the floor and everyone starts screaming hahahahaha, it was
so funny it was like I was in a movie. The person was just way screwed up.
Anyway. Wendy is the best, she is being the example to all of her friends and
making new friends and I love her and she is getting baptized next week. I wish
everyone we talked to was like Wendy haha.
Also
Wendy's friend's daughter loves me and she is one years old, so when Wendy had
to take her to church, I had to hold her so she wouldn't cry or fuss. Made my
week haha I'm so pumped to be a dad.
The
ward loves us now and it is so cool! They even gave me a nickname because the
other day I was sick and passed out on the floor when a member came in and I
was wearing my Superman robe. And he said, I didn’t know Superman got sick!
Then I got to church on Sunday and they introduced me as Elder Superman over
the pulpit so everyone calls me Elder Superman... I'm jumping with joy. This
has been a good week.
So my message
to you this week is... life without love, is death....take it in.
Love
always, stay strong.
Love,
Elder Christensen
