Howdy y’all this week in San Angelo has been awesome and
super super sad haha.
So my companion Elder Morgan who was going to the
hospital to get his blood tested, turned out to have a thyroid problem just
like me, so we truly are twin brothers.....for my other companion things
weren't so lucky.......Elder Ashton my trainer was sent home this morning
because he needs to get hip surgery....I cried, I will admit it. It’s weird he
was the greatest trainer in the world and I miss him, haha. So me and Elder Morgan
are now together and we are both in training, so this apparently has never
happened before and we are pioneers. It’s sweet.
Our investigators are doing awesome. Haha. David came to
Sacrament!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (the gentleman who had not left his home in 15 years).
He loved it so much he cried and so did we. We warmly embraced each other with
a 3 minute hug......yep...... haha. Wendy is awesome, we have been and still
are teaching all of her friends and we set a baptismal day with Cassandra.
Cassandra is living with Wendy. She is a 61 year old alcoholic that got so
drunk, she got alcohol poisoning and now she wants to change her life around
and it is so cool. She’s 4'9" and like a little bowling ball. She’s
awesome haha and we are teaching like 9 others who I will report on in other
weeks so y’all won’t get bored of this stuff.
I ate a three pound burger this week..... it was called
the beast burger.......I have gained a fair amount of weight since I’ve been
here..... God bless America...
Oh yah, and I went on this exchange with the Spanish
elders. We laughed, we cried and we taught a ton of people in Spanish.... I
don't know Spanish, but it was awesome anyway. I would bare my testimony in
English and Elder Lemmon would translate. It’s amazing how the spirit works.
My message for this week is about how we shouldn't have
to hit rock bottom.
So often it takes people till they are in the lowest of
their lows to turn to our Father in Heaven... this is crazy, why don't we
recognize Him now, before we hit our lowest points? I know that life is hard,
but I also know that through our Father in Heaven and through Jesus Christ’s
Atonement anything is possible and anyone can be saved....anyone.
Sorry today has been a hard day, will everyone please
pray for my companion Elder Landon Homer Ashton and maybe give him a hand of
comfort when he gets home tomorrow. He lives in West Jordan. Food for thought.
And also I am fixin to get transferred this week, so
don't send any letters until I get my new address. I love y’all. Elder Christensen
