Hello My Beautiful Family!
I am really tired today! We worked really hard this week with little results but we are trying to have the faith to get our investigators to baptism! Satan is really working hard on them! Our two best investigators Allen and Maggie is their English name! They want to be baptized but first they either have to get married or separate living in different houses! Last night I talked to them and invited them to fast for an answer so hopefully today while they are in gao xiong they can get married! It is only 50 kuai and they just fill out some paper work! It’s easier to get married here then elope in Las Vegas! They are just afraid of their family and sneaking behind their backs to get married! I testified that God wants them to be baptized and it is foolish to wait till next May to tie the knot because Heavenly father wants to give them so much blessings especially the temple and eternal marriage!!!
Real quick I have had this question for a long time but I kept forgetting to ask! Is Nick doing good? When can he get his endowment? If he hasn’t got it yet encourage him to prepare for it!
I’m sorry I don’t sound happy like I usually am it’s just this past week this all I have been thinking about! Allen and Maggie! If they don’t get baptized this move I don’t know I if they will have the faith for next move! We are meeting with them tonight after English Class! So I will let you know what happens. Oh did Elder Wideriksen oops I mean Tanner ever get the chance to teach English? It really helps us find those that are prepared!
By the way Mom, ya I got the letters thank you I read them all through meal times all day 3 letters was cool! Ya I can’t beleive I am almost at a year, it’s gone too fast! Just think I will get to go home right before Christmas! I can’t wait! That’s cool Max and Tanner met. Ya Mom the pizza wasn’t that much I used cash but after I went shopping and bought new shorts cuz mine are too small. I think I might be growing again! Havn’t measured yet though! Then I got tempted and bought an expensive new era hat, I will send a pic it is sweet though I don’t regret it. It’s one of those things that you couldn’t find unless you were in Taiwan! The character is long which means dragon! Ya the typhoons are crazy big. Taibei got hit pretty bad last week!
To answer the rest of your questions, members havn’t feed us yet! I got fed a lot more in Heng Chun. Sorry Mom never had the time to take pics of hengchun apartment most of them are all the same plus when we come back to Taiwan I will show you every area I have been in, sound good? Seriously there is never any time to do anything. I have been writing in my journal but I have to catch up a little bit being a tai zhong missionary is so much more work than when I came on island! It’s hard but I try to write a little every night!
Oh last week at Zone Conference I saw my best friend! ELDER MIX!!!!!! It was so cool seeing him. He said since the missions combined he saw all of my district except for me! I didn’t expect to see him either. He ran up and gave me a hug getting off the train at gao xiung! I didn’t get a pic with him but I saw my trainer. I got to contact a guy with him and this time I actually understood what he was saying! AWESOME!!!! Oh, last night I met a monk at the night market and he gave us free buddha beads!!!! Look that up and read about it. It is very interesting! Don’t have enough time! Oh Elder Moes is in tai zhong not taibei???? Still havn’t seen him since my 2nd move along time! Now before I send this picture let me tell you 2 things I look good with parted hair now! It a rule now and ya I got a pink tie! So Max cant’ make fun of me! Sister Hoer complimented me saying, Elder Christensen that pink tie looks good!!! haha so I am only sticking with this one! You will all like it!!! Ok well that’s about all I have to say this week. I love you all!
Can’t wait to get your letter and Dads! Dad thanks, that helped me a lot. I have used testifying in Jesus Christ’s name and ya it is powerful especially after sharing the first vision!!! Thank you for that advice!!!
I love you all! Oh almost forgot General Conference was awesome! Elder Holland was by far the best and my favorite!!! That was the most powerful testimony about the Book of Mormon I have ever heard borne in public! Dad he prophesied a couple times about the last days and the book! Please listen to that talk again and send me your thoughts. I thought he got really deep!
Love, Elder Christensen
