Well we had a pretty crazy week. All together went on
exchanges to Macon this week. Nothing super fun there but we did tract for 4
hours and met a brother to one of the Chicago bears players so that was pretty
cool! :)
So we did fight our bishop last week and he is dang good, but I guess 12
years of Pro MMA would make you a pretty good fighter! lol Out of all the elders,
I did last the longest. I escaped 3 of his best choke-outs, but he did get me
with the last one! It was the craziest move I've ever been in for sure. He
choked me out with my own arms. I couldn't even tap out. I had to say "tap." It was
way fun tho. I haven't sparred in forever !! I think I'll do some MMA on the side
when I get home. It reminds me of wrestling when I was little and its always a
good skill to have to beat those that are stronger than you. :)
Then we
went to a couple of the Amish stores. I'm so glad I'm not Amish. Life seems so much
harder without a car or electricity. I would die without those!! It was
cool to see how they make a living. Very humble and honest people. I bought some
sweet potato pancake mix. ha ha! Dang good stuff !!
This week we found some new
investigators in Paris and we will be teaching them on Friday so hopefully
something will come of this. I hate going out to Paris cuz only like 500 people
live there and they all work out of Moberly, so we rarely see anyone
when tracting .... and its been tracted at least 20 times. We've done the
whole town 3 times in these past 2 transfers. I counted 374 doors! ha ha!
The only reason I like going to Paris is for Bro. Reeves. He is old and just
lost his wife so he is very lonely but he loves our visits and I can tell they
lift him up a ton !! His family lives in Florida and Georgia and Alaska so he
doesn't see them much ... His maid makes the best lunch ever though. Her pies
are legendary I'm getting the recipe for sure!! We started playing soccer on
Saturday in the morning with some non-members and the O'loughlin family and one
of them came to church this week. He is 19 years old, his name is Dillan. The
other elders are starting to teach him. Should be some good from that. He knows
something's about our church. He had dated a member at one time. Hopefully we
can get more things rolling in this area. Just need to work out all the kinks. ha
ha! Hope all is well at home :)
Love Elder Christensen
