Hello My Beautiful Family!


It was so nice to talk to you all on Christmas too!!  Sorry I used a lot of chinese, my english is horrible and I do not have a accent!!! If I do that's really weird.  Did everyone like my message to them.  How is Grandma? What did Nick think? IS max home? Wow you all looked really great where did you eat?  I just saved that to my camera today I will print one out and put it in my picture album!  Thank you for sending one.  I love seeing you guys it doesn't get me trunky I promise. Now tell those boys they better write me next week, I like hearing from them.  I couldn't beleive it was them who I talked to, they sounded so grown up and they look so grown up too.   Are you happy you can talk to me on Monday's now?  I kind of like it, then that way the rest of the week I can focus on the work.  Before it was like focus on the work, then p-day, then try and focus again.  I bet other missionaries like it as well.

Wow Brinae I am so happy for you, did you tape it for me Mom?  If not please tape it for me on Wednesday and send it with the videos!  If you can get her singing that would be better.  Just don't get caught! ya that song is amazing! Brinae I think you sing it better than the girl that made it!  I can not lie. lol so ya tell everyone at the university ward I say hello.  Tell Chris Robison when I get home I look forward in playing him again in a game of pool!  I hope he has been practicing! I remember when Elder Bednar came to visit us, he commanded us all when we get home to make finding a wife the number one top priority!  Just tell Max to wait for me lol he said I can be his best man!

So on Saturday our investigator zheng passed his baptismal interview, and promised he would never smoke again and he would come to church.  He's been twice but has to come 3 times in order to be baptised!  But yesterday he didn't come to church I called him all day and he didn't answer.  I think he dissapeared! I am really depressed right now because if he does get in contact with us he has to wait another week to get baptized and if he smoked has to wait 2 weeks!  I think he smoked and feels he can't come to church.  Now tell Nick this is the heart ache I experience sometimes.  He is so close to being baptised but probably is letting cigarerretes control is life!  Yesterday I thought of Nick because zheng is my friend we get along really great!  When he didn't come to church I was shocked! Now when I hear my best friend Nick isn't coming to church it makes me feel so horrible I want to cry to Heavenly Father for him!  Send him this message for me.  Today I plan to write him a letter.
Ok, I love you all Happy New Year!  Even though I won't be celebrating it! lol I have to wait till Febuary for guo nian! haha oh well I can celebrate it next year.  By the way I hope towards the end of the phone call you heard jia ting shi yong heng de. Families are Eternal!


love Elder Christensen
