So this week was a hardcore finding week for us. I finally
was sick of not Tracting (he has had a difficult time with his companion who has not wanted to do anything) so we had exchanges and Elder Terrazas and I tore it
up !! Found 6 new this week. I would say 2 of them are pretty solid. One guy, his
name is Ron, he is an older man. His house looked like a cabin from Montana, so I
was like we have to hit this one. We did and we talked about the restoration. He
is Catholic and wouldn't mind hearing more this Thursday. I told him I
was from Utah, but had also lived in Missoula MT for some time and he said ahhh
yes I love Montana wish I could just drop my house there. Its beautiful country
and I lived up by Helena for 4 years. So we hit it off and it was awesome.
Can't wait to teach him more and get him to church :)
Martin and Alisha really
enjoyed my talk last week and brought it up in our lesson this week how it had
gave them hope for one day making it to the Celestial Kingdom and they can't
wait to be married in our church and get baptized. :) This won't be in my time.
They will be baptized after July 18th but its cool to know my testimony and
talk is keeping them focused :) Mary this week just finished the Book of
Mormon and is starting over again to get a better understanding of everything,
and we also taught her about tithing and how when you become a member you can
pay 10% and receive these blessings. I had shared my testimony on this and
she was really feeling it. I could tell. Then the next day we came to
pick her up for church and she was just crying saying I can't make it today the
medication they have me on is making me super drowsy and sick. But she gave us an
envelope with some change in it and said you give my tithing to the bishop I
need these blessings right now ! I was in so much shock! I almost couldn't
speak that she is so willing to pay tithing and she isn't even a member yet and
she just knows that she will get those blessings regardless of her
membership!!!
Then after church we came by with the bishop to see how she is
doing and had a great lesson on the atonement and how she will be a great
member to our church. She then says I'm so sorry I couldn't make it to
Church this week. I really wanted to go but Satan is just doing everything he
can to get me down, so I wont do what I know is right! We talked more about
Joseph Smith and how Satan tried to stop his prayer and the coming of the BOM
and she said I'm not going to let him win! I'm coming no matter what from now on!! Then we met 2 new investigators with bishop in the same apartments. He had
gotten a call for a blessing from someone he had never even met before. She had
gotten his number from a friend whom he helped out years ago and she said
my daughters broke her arm and she wants to learn more about your church. Could
she get a blessing ? The Bishop was all over that and we will be meeting
with her and her 12 year old daughter this week. :0 Then we went to the
Radishels for our Sunday Dinner / Family Night. That family alone has made this
area for me. There is some much humor there and it is so fun. The kids look up to us
and love having us over!! I love You all !!!!
Love Elder Christensen
