Hello My Beautiful Family!



It sounds like you guys are doing good!  Yes mom thank you for sending those videos, it was really awesome to hear all of your voices.  Now I don't know if you know that getting videos is awesome along with pictures.  So if you can right now start taking more videos for me.  No it doesn't make me homesick.   And when it's your turn to talk tell me whats going on in your life.  Sorry but I really want to hear the boys talk more, I still can't beleive how much they have grown up.  Also can you please get a video of Max and Nick for me?  I havn't heard their voice in years lol.   Also if you can Aunt Pammy and Uncle Derek and the kids and Grandma and Grandpa.   Hope that's not to much.  I just love videos.  So speaking of Grandma this is a funny story.   Last night we were about to go to sleep and my companiopn walks in and hands me a letter from Grandma.  A letter saying Happy Thanksgiving!  I said where did you get that?  He said in the room with all the luggage.  I was so confused, until I realized I must of went in the luggage room to grab something, set the letter down walked away and forgot about it for 2 months!!!  I felt really bad, I was wondering why Grandma didn't write me for the longest time and she would never miss a important holiday like Thanksgiving.  Yes, I am getting around to thank you notes.  Probably next week though cuz me and my companion are going bowling... by the way tell Grandma in chinese that me and my companion would be correct grammer!! haha I don't speak english anymore I don't care. lol.  mmm right now I am drinking fresh banana milk!  It's really good.  Actually every drink is good in Taiwan as long as it isn't tea.  I can't wait to treat you guys to a nice mango drink! mmmm.

ok anyways yes I am really proud of zheng but at the same time I want to ring his neck!  Yesterday he didn't come to church because he went to bed that morning at 7!  He is done with his test and never could get sleep, so we have to wait till next week to get him confirmed.  During Sacrament I talked to the Zone Leaders they said do anything you can to get him confirmed today!  So I asked President Rao if he could confirm him at the end of Sacrament, he said sorry but that is not allowed!  I was crushed, I had to call the Zone Leaders back after I got a hold of zheng finally, and tell them that he wasn't going to make it to church today!  They understood but we were all kind of sad and mad.  Because it is not good when someone gets baptism and has to wait to be confirmed, earlier I fought to get him confirmed after his baptism but Rao President over ruled the decision.  So now he has to wait 2 weeks.  Tanner probably knows if these members don't get the holy ghost ASAP most likely they will never get it because satan works really hard on them, or they get it and later on go less active.  I hope none of that will be the case.  We met with zheng yesterday afternoon and he felt bad he slept in and promised after he gets lots of sleep this week he will not miss church again! I beleive him he is a good kid.  So please pray for zheng that he can receive the holy ghost!

Hello dad! I love the new office looks really good.  I am happy for you to be able to have a job again.  You looked like a manager, and i am happy you are getting good at solitare.  Mom is just jealous that you are getting good because she doesn't want you to be better than her! Right mom! haha I love the scar mom it doesn't look that bad.

So Dad to answer your question last week Moses is talking with Jehovah the premortal Jesus Christ! Am i right? As I was reading it at first I thought Heavenly Father but I remembered a while ago reading the Pearl of Great Price study guide and it said that Jesus Christ has the authority from Heavenly Father to act and speak like he is the Father!!!   Also Heavenly Father has never appeared to man since the fall of adam and eve and or introducing his son like in the first vison! So I also remember before my mission I asked you how do you know who is talking in the scriptures?  The answer is very simple, since the father and son are on in purpose sometimes it doesn't matter, but no the simple anwer is of course or savior jesus christ!!!  I hope I just taught you something! lol hey please send another letter with new deep doctorine I feel I am ready to receive most of the stuff you want to share with me.  If not I will wait till I get home and in the celestial room would be the proper place for father and son to strengthen and learn from each other.  By the way dad I invite you to read the last talk that Russell Ballard gave last conference.  It was in the preisthood session!  I felt of your spirit while pondering and reading that talk again.  I hope after my mission we will have those serious talks about my education career choice and who will be my eternal companion.  Thanks Dad I love you!!!  Ya Mom that printer you had was horrible please do send more pictures with better quality!  Also don't use Alyeas camera it's really bad. Brinae!!! wake up lazy Alyea has an exuse she didnt write me shes sick your not! lol hey it was fun watching you and Evan by the way I listened to your song over and over thank you for taping that Mom!  But ya Evan looks cool in my book but I couldn't see him that well!  Take a video of him or a picture!!  That was funny you both waved towards the end!  But make sure he gets on a mission!  We need more missionaries in Taiwan!  Alyea I love you hope you feel better!  Wow you look so grown up.be safe! Hey boys make me proud get good grades and make the JV team not Freshman ok!



So mom do you have a subscription to the liahona or ensign?  The new one just came out.  There is a article in there of a guy named chen here in Taiwan.  He is a tour guide at the yu shan national park.  The liahona is awesome please get it.  Also last night I was reading President Uchtdorf talk and he mentioned his two twin grandsons!  I thought that was so cool because I have met one of them! haha  So ya that's about it for this week! I love you all and remember to pray every night as a family!  The family that prays together stays together!

Love your son, Elder Christensen
