Jan 21st Letter


AHH I can’t believe that I have 3 more weeks. I know I’m coming home but I home here!!

This last transfer has been a very good one for us. It has been very productive and this week has been that way also.

Monday I was able to go down to the Spring Branch to visit with the Rios Family. It was sad to say good bye to them. When I got down there, Not everyone was there the mom was gone with her uncle in the hospital, The dad was at work, and the kids were in and out of the house but I was able to say good bye to some.

Tuesday was awesome. We went to dinner at the Johnson's. We pulled onto the street they lived on and we saw the girls on the corner of the street waiting for us to come!. They were so excited to see us. They gave us all menus for dinner and they put us in certain spots. It was awesome. They are cute kids. And I love how excited they get when we come around Missionaries have that ability to make them go wild both good and bad sometimes for the parents.

Wednesday was a slower day not a lot going on I sat there thinking what we could do to make this place better and get work going I remember a member telling us about how we should go do service at a nursing home so this was sitting on my mind, so we went over there to visit with them to see if we could do some service!. We talked with the lady who was in charge of the activities and she was curious of why we were there. We told her our purpose and what we do. She was surprised that we came in. For one she didn't know there was Mormons here in Navasota and that she was happy we came by to help. She was looking for people and was about to call the High school asking for people and we showed up. She was happy I’m pretty sure we can get teaching opportunities at this place!

Friday we went to Caldwell population of Maybe 5,000 we had district meeting there. Their church is in a warehouse that was converted to a church it’s awesome! We had a good lesson on the plan of salvation then we went to a member's house where they wanted to demo a house! I got to use a sledgehammer and ax Etc. It was awesome. It is also a great stress reliever yall should try it just don’t get hurt. Luckily I didn’t!!!!

Saturday is going to be our bingo day we play bingo twice a day. I’m going to be so good at it! But this time was awesome. So we went looking for the bingo stuff and they never put it in the same spot all the time! We went looking for it when a man stop us and said "hey yall are Mormons'' I said yes sir we are. He later told us he is Jewish and that he studied our religion and read the Book of Mormon and the Pearl of Great Price and that he lost it and wanted another copy. So we gave him one and a potential investigator!! How well did that work out for us!


In closing I’m excited to be able to come home and be with yall! I’m nervous and mixed emotions but I’m ready. I know it might be hard for the first while but it’s something that is going to be worth it. I’m so thankful for all that yall do and thank you for your support. I’m grateful for the time I have to serve my Father in Heaven and to be a missionary. I know the time is short but it’s going to be well worth it. I hope all yall have a great week and I will see yall and talk with yall real soon

Love

Elder Kendall Christensen
