GOOD MORNING UTAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How has yall's week been? Since i last talk with you on Tuesday.
By The way it was amazing talking with yall and seeing yall. It was a blessing to have that opportunity. I know that the time will go fast to the time i get to visit with yall again. ha
This week has been a slower week than usual. One because of the holidays and everyone is gone. And 2 people are sick there is a nasty bug going around and a lot of investigators got it and less actives so there isn’t a lot that went on this week so sorry but some things were awesome.
Christmas Eve was a very good day. It was p day we went to the Singers house for dinner that night. The whole family was there except josh who is on a mission. We had some wonderful soup that they made and we sat around enjoying each other’s company. There tradition is to reenact the nativity but we put our little touch on it modern style. haha. They gave Elder Hilton and myself each gifts they gave us matching ties with their names on it. It was awesome than I gave them our gift to them they were surprised it was so cool to see. I just told them my family wanted to do something special for yall because you’re my family away from home. Sis Singer gave me a hug she was very grateful for the gifts. I finally got my packages that night. I was so happy when I got them. I loved the PJ's :)
CHRISTMAS DAY!!!!!!!!!!! We woke up and went to the other missionaries’ apartment to have breakfast and to open some of our presents. It was good to be around them and to enjoy my Christmas away from home. We went back to our apartment and we opened more of our presents. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YALL PRESENT. I know that I will surely use it a lot. We went to the Wojahn's house to eat a huge turkey feast then the main event. I got to talk and see yall!!!!!!!!!!! It was so good to see yall and talk with yall it has been 10 months since I got to do that. It was a blessing to me and I know it was for yall. After that we went to the Singers and chilled with them the rest of the night and went home and found out that we are staying together for six more weeks and not getting transferred this time. But that night I got sick, I got another really bad cold. The cough came back and the runny nose and the head ache. It is not the funniest thing you can have.
Wednesday we met with Miguel Leal. He is amazing we met and talk about the word of wisdom but that last long he wanted to talk about missions; he really wants to go on a mission. But he doesn’t want to ruin the school track that he is on to get into UTI. He wants to be a mechanic but he wants to go on a mission at the same time he is going to have to choose either leave three years of school or go on a two year mission. He said he was confused and didn’t know what to do. I felt prompted to tell him that he needs to pray about it and when you pray with a sincere heart that God will answer your prayers. Might not be what you want it to be but god is all knowing and he will provide a way for you. Miguel said that he will and I’m glad that he has so much interest in going on a mission and will pray about it. This is a really good kid that we can see go on a mission within the next year and half. We were able to meet with this mom and she was so grateful for what we have done to bring the gospel in his life. They have noticed a change in the family and in the house. So hopefully we can work with his family and see what we can do for them.
Saturday night was an interesting night. We were in a certain area and we knew that a potential investigator named Matthew Duke lived around here. He is a 20 yr old kid and he is really smart he talk’s our head off about what he believes in. It’s wasn’t religion or anything it was something to do with energy. He is very earthly and loves chi energy and likes crystals and everything natural. It was very interesting as we talk outside for about 45 mins and he gave us a rock that will cleanse our heart and purify us. hahah it was so interesting that I could help but just walk away laughing. He said that the thing he loves to do was smoke weed and just enjoy life. The earth and energy he said if I was sick that he could spiritually heal me but he would be conduit to help. Cause he can cure me through energy it was so funny. Wow I was just shocked and was amazed haha
Sunday was awesome. We had to teach the gospel doctrine class and it went pretty well we taught them how to introduce the Book of Mormon to others in a simple manner. The third hour we had a member come and talk to us about member missionary work. Her name is Diana Hoelscher . You should look her up she is awesome. This is just what we need to get things jump started to get the ball rolling about member missionary work. After church we were able to go with Bro Singer to this nursing home to go take sacrament to a member who lives there. He had a stroke and he can’t talk and use his arms very well. It was a spiritual experience to go there and to give him the sacrament. That night we went to a member’s home for dinner and his mom and dad were there. They are expecting a baby soon so the parents were there to help them I found out that they are from Richmond Utah and I know there niece. She lives right by the Hyrum cemetery her mom is the cross guard for Lincoln Elementary School. So we sat down talking for a while about Cache Valley it was awesome being able to visit with someone again from home. Man it is a small world that you meet people who know home and who are from there.
Well I will end by saying I hope yall have a great New Year’s eve and a happy New Year, have a good time don’t party too hard and I will talk with yall next week.
Love
Elder Kendall Christensen
