Hello my beautiful family!
Haha I knew you would be worried! Ya last Thursday was the biggest earthquake I have ever felt. At 8:25 in the morning I was reading Jesus the Christ at the time. I stood up and screamed ya!! Repent Taiwan!!!...then my dresser fell over..and that’s it. But it started off slow and after I yelled repent the earth shook hard! In jia yi xian taibao it rocked us a good 6.4! I guess 38 people have died but of course all missionaries are ok! pretty crazy.. Woah!!! EARTHQUAKE!!!! wow is the world going to end already? nah this must be the beginning me and elder pack just said. haha
So the picture I just sent you was a picture of the most golden investigator I have ever met. Even though he has one eye because of a car accident, I still love him to death. So I found him at 7-11 last Friday..haha he just called me and said woah di zhen! Haha you guys are learning chinese.(In the subject of his letter this week we put Hello Di zhen) hen bang! I contacted chen li wei at the 7-11 invited him to church but he couldn’t make it to go to church. So we met with him in the afternoon. Then invited him to English class. At English class I showed the testaments in English and at the end switched it to Chinese when Jesus Christ came down to visit the Nephites. At that point he felt of the truthfulness of this church and the 30 minute testimony I bore afterwards! In my testimony I said I know the angels just wrote down my testimony in heaven! Lamar believed! I gave him his name. I wanted him to have Kobe, but he said no it doesn’t match li wei. So I chose Lamar as in Lamar Odom #7 for the Lakers! Then the next day he went tracting and that night all the members were outside the church. I asked him in front of them if he believes that the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church on the face of this earth? He said yes!! The members were shocked! Then he came to church and after church his boss called him and said since he skipped work he is fired! I told him I know that God will provide for you! He is very happy he has no work and wants to go back to school and when he gets baptized he said he wants to follow my footsteps and be a missionary. But for now he just wants to learn! YAY!! I hope I don’t move, he wants me to baptize him. If only I met Lamar a little earlier, we both would not be so sad!
I love you Mommy!! MISS YOU TO THE MOON
Love, Elder Christensen
