Its feels like we just can’t get a break out here. Our golden contact has decided that she wants to live in Fredericktown so we can’t teach her because that’s in the sisters area… We had her come to church the past 2 weeks she loves is and explained to us how she is feeling the spirit when she is with us and when we are in sacrament meeting! She also said that her personal prayers are so strong that she never wants them to end so she will be getting baptized in October by someone in the Fredericktown ward…
This Saturday was Karen’s wedding it was soooo long it was very pretty though. They had this mansion in the forest rented out it used to be a school so it’s ridiculously huge! We had the honor of shuttling people back to their cars that were parked up at the church for the first 2 hours and last 2 hours at least I got to drive a Volvo haha! Then we had 16-17 year old girls following us everywhere and hitting on us it was nasty I wanted to leave after the I-do’s… They were BIG country girls with terrible Cajun accents like the people from swamp people. Hahaha I needed a translator. It was a great chance to provide hours of service and we met lots of people that had questions about the church. None of them were from Farmington so we gave them an Mormon.org card so they can find missionaries in their area if they want to. Also for the wedding everyone knows that I love white dress shoes so I found spatted DR. Martins at the goodwill brand new!!
This week we had a very great talk with our ward mission leader Charlie on how we can get the members of the ward to reach out to their friends who might be willing to listen to our message. We have a vision 200 active members for the Farmington ward and this program will get those last 40-50 people. While talking with Charlie I was able to help him with his Rat-Rods. I got to bolt on some 55 Chevy fenders to his low-rider trucks. Charlie always says we have helped this area a lot already and we just need to relax and keep trying , but I’m struggling with the relaxing part. I’m learning a lot on how to become patient in this area…
Keeping my head up hoping for a better week this week and hope we can find another golden contact that is willing to hear us out! Transfers this week we will see if I stay in Farminton or not..?
Love, Elder Christensen
