Well this
week was great because we didn’t die in a tornado! Four of them were in our mission.
Crazy stuff! And one was 40 miles from us but I have no doubt that we will be
protected! We got 2 new investigators and had awesome lessons this week with
Mike and Danny and our newest investigator John. He lives in Paris which is a
small town like 30 miles from Moberly and he believes everything we taught. He
love the restoration, but he just thinks that the prophets to follow aren’t correct
so we are working through his concern but he is well prepared and we did invite
him to pray to know if president Monson is a true prophet. We will be seeing
him again this Friday to see how that went J We also might be teaching Miss Moberly. She ran into us at service
and was helping out and was either interested in our message or us... Ha! Ha! We
will find out in 2 days, but as President Clark (PC) says “Elders, we need to flirt to
convert” Ha! Ha! I love PC im gonna miss him for sure !! His mission President is finished with his mission this summer, so he will be getting a new one.
We had a baptism this
weekend. A part-member family baptism. Nicholas got baptized by his dad and
confirmed by his brother. That was cool to see. We taught Nicholas the
discussions mainly for practice for my greeny, but they went very well and we
got technically a convert baptism. Ha! Ha! Fun stuff, but hopefully we will get
some of our investigators to church this week and get them rolling J
We also had a lot of District unity this
week as we went to the Pizza Hut buffet and battled to see who could eat the
most. To say the least I still hold my title! Ha! Ha! I almost lost to Elder
Peterson. He is a beast he weighs 285 and played college football as a center,
but I still got it! Definitely had some running to do after that !!
Things are
picking up out here hopefully will get some fun stories and more memories. JI also got rebuked hardcore this week in my
studies as I was listen to a talk from Elder Ballard. He read D&C 49:15 and
if that wasn’t the biggest slap in the face I don’t know what is ha ha so I’ll
be looking a little more openly on the subject from here on out haha !!!! I
love you all hope all is well!
Love Elder
Christensen
FYI, I had to look this one up. D&C 49:15- "And again, verily I say unto you, that whoso forbiddeth to marry is not ordained of God, for marriage is ordained of God unto man." Jeff has been saying that he probably won't get married, so I guess he is reconsidering after hearing this!
