Well family, this week was great. I got my new companion. His name is Elder
Boren. He is from New Mexico and has been out for about 20 months. He is a super
strong Elder! He can teach very well and has a lot of drive still in him. It's
great! So we got this new media referral investigator and she is great. Her name is Betsie.
She is 25 and is dating a member from Rolla, Missouri and wants to hear
more about our church. We taught her the st lesson outside, and it was
super cold. I was just in my windbreaker! That was so bad on my part. It
dropped like 20 degrees from the time we met and the end. I was bearing my
testimony with the shivers ha ha! She could tell I was sincere even through all
the shakes. I also gave my talk this Sunday. It was the lowest attendance
I've ever seen for this ward! They must have known I was talking ha ha! It went
well. It's weird how I'm not so nervous giving talks anymore. I'm sure my homecoming talk will be different tho, just saying... I gave a really good joke. I
know '
you're shocked right? Well my talk was on using the scriptures to fight
against temptations, and I used Ether 11:14. At the end of that verse it says,
"And Moron did that which was wicked before the Lord." So I told
everyone my talk is to teach you how to not be a "moron" ha ha! They loved it!!
For service this week, we did some dry wall repairs and
some intense mudding and I got to use this cool texture gun that shot mud all
over the place. Pretty fun stuff! :) We also met with Shawn Reeves this week
and set a Baptismal Date with him. Heck Yes! November 23rd, so pray for him
please:) Should have another full week this week. Definitely time for the winter
gear to come out. I'm gonna miss the Fall. It's so pretty with all the reds and yellows out here. Tons of leaves to clean up, but its worth it! Love you all
hope all is well!
Love Elder Christensen
