Well family, I,m in Jeffcity now, and I'm loving it! This city
has a lot of potential and I've already seen why I was sent here! The district was
not the best as far as following the rules the past few months, but they seem to
making some big changes now that they have a district leader that won't put up
with that. Ha! Ha! And they kinda fear I might beat them up if they break the
rules again, which may happen! Ha! Ha! My home date is May 14th, so I have till then
to fix these elders and sisters...
We did a lot of contacting in downtown
Jeffcity around the Capitol building. We met some pretty cool people and took a few
pictures for families visiting and gave them Mormon.org cards. Hope they check it
out! We had a pretty cool finding story this week. While setting up my YMCA
stuff for the rest of my mission we went to see the membership director and she
opened up to us my saying, "Elders what can I do for ya?" I was like
wait you know who we are? Turns out we found a Less active member and she
opened up to us about how she found the church and told us her conversion story.
So I challenged her to come to church this Sunday and she DID !!! I also had to
speak for 5 minutes with less than 2 minutes to prepare. Ha! Ha! So I'm glad
the Spirit was there to help me know what to say and how to say it! It
was so cool to see, cuz my talk lead perfectly into the other talks for the
meeting and I had no idea what they where going to talk about! So that was a
really good start to my new area. We also have this really cool Vietnam vet who
lives right by us and he is a member that is like our mission Grandpa. I call him
"Grandpa Glenn." He tells us all these cool stories of war and he feeds us every
meal that the members don't, so I'm a happy camper! :) Love you all!
Love Elder Christensen
