This is the tale of Keegan F. Christensen,
So this week I received my new companion Elder Dawson Royce
Crop, straight out of Fresno California, not really he has been on his mission
for about a year now and we are pretty stoked to be companions, my last
companion... we are going to save the world.
So this week not too much different happened, except Kyan got Baptized!!!
Yeah! So Kyan and his family are some of the most incredible people I have
ever met. This is a nine year old boy (like I said last week) and his grandfather
was able to come into town this week to do the baptism. He was so excited
to get baptized so “he could get to heaven” he always says. It is incredible
how young members of the church can understand the gospel these days, it is a
whole new world even from when I was in high school or younger. These young
kids and teenagers I work with really know what they are talking about and are
such good defenders of the faith. At times I feel as if I wish I was better
when I was younger or in high school. I know I could have done more which makes
me so livid! Haha…but at the same time…today is a new day to do more. So choose
not to wallow on the past, choose not to think about all of the things you
could have or should have done, begin to think about the things in which you
are going to do right here today tomorrow and forever, the past is
the past. It really is, "It’s time to begin, isn’t it?"
I may be an old guy in mission years. I am tied for being out
the longest with a few other missionaries in my mission now, but even though I
may be getting old and decrepit, I have still got the spry step of a younger
man. Haha the source of all happiness is our Heavenly Father, his son Jesus Christ,
his gospel, our wives, husbands and families. I say to this week… bring it on I
am ready… because with more trials and with more weight, comes more strength.
When I get home I am going to be a better man I want you all to
know that I will not be the same me as when I left, but I am still me which is
so groovy. I totally thought you had to become a lame robot to be a missionary
for a while, but man was I so wrong, in fact it is quite the opposite, so if
any of you are afraid for me to come home…don’t be, life is always rad:)
I love you guys so much if you need anything please let me know…
be safe
Love
elder c
