This week was really Cold!!! We had some snow around Texas
but not where I was but we got a lot of ice!!!!!!!
So this is One of my last times emailing yall. So I have one
more big letter after this so it’s sad to have this end, but it’s better to
hear the stories in person.
This week was a good for us we had some cool things happen
to us. On Wednesday we went to go do service at the old people's place where we
go and call bingo. Well it was my turn to call it and before I called the
numbers there was this man named Mr G. He said “you’re Mormons I said yes we
are”. He told me that he is a member and he was baptized back in 1974 in New
York. He remembers his baptism clearly! haha I was thinking, you can’t go too
far until you are found by someone I thought that was cool. This service is
bringing a lot of chances for us to talk about the gospel!!
Thursday was an Amazing day for us! First off we found a new
investigator!! Her name is Lupita and she is Hispanic. She is the daughter of a
Less Active that we just reactivated she is like 19 years old with 4 kids!!
haha yeah weird. But she wants to take the lessons. That was awesome it’s been
awhile since we got one! Than that same day we got a call from our Elders
Quorum President saying we had a family move into Navasota!! WHAT THAT NEVER
HAPPENS!!!!! They moved from Idaho to
here. The husband is the Emergency Manager for Red Cross for about 7 counties
right now. But we helped them move in a little bit on Thursday and gave them a
church tour! The family of 5 will be a huge impact on our branch! I was talking
with the dad while at the church tour he is not active but I was talking and he
was talking about being an emergency manager for a county or city and I was like
well this is what my dad does and told him and he said who is your dad. I told
him and he was like I have met him! WHAT!!! That was like a shocking moment.
That is like the third or fourth time I have met someone out here who has known
my family!!! So hopefully I can get in with this family before I leave!
I spent my 21st birthday in Brenham on exchanges!! It was a
good time. District meeting was cancelled due to the weather. So it was a
pretty relaxed day! But I was on exchanges and the weather improved in the day
time. We went to this old people home to play bingo and the funniest thing
happen. There was this lady her name is Ms. Peggy. Now this lady is not all the
way there she was looking at me and I said. What are you doing Ms Peggy? She
told me this. Wiping off my lipstick, I don't want to put 2 big marks on you!.
She sat there just looking at me and smiling at me. I couldn't but help myself
to laugh!!! I didn't know what to do! It was so random and awesome. We had dinner at CiCi's pizza for my birthday
and had a good day! Thank yall for the package it was awesome!!
Saturday was an awesome day. We went to Joe and Elizabeth's
to help them get ready for this Sunday for baptism. I think it is awesome, every
time we go over there they are always asking questions of what they need to do
to be ready. They will be ready and we will have a baptism on Sunday!! But the
best part was dinner that night we had one of the best dinners i have had. It
was just chuck full of meat and amazingness!!!!! It was a typical Texas dinner.
haha
Missionary Moment
3 Nephi 5:13
Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I
have been called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might
have everlasting life.
This is what i read today! And it stood out to me a lot.
This is what I have been called to do for the past 2 years. And this is the
calling that I want to do for the rest of my life!
Yesterday at Church I had a thought! We had a lot of people
show up and it was awesome. I looked around and most of the people there were
families. The soon to be new converts was there as a family, new family and
everyone else. It kinda made me realize the importance of families. Everything
that our mission president has said about teaching families, apostles and prophets
talking about families It all came to me and helped me know that families are
ordained of God and there is a huge importance of families in the church. I’m
so glad for my family that I have with a mother, father, and sisters strong in
the gospel. This has been a time for me to grow in the gospel and the mission
was the key for me to get a stronger testimony and knowledge of it! I’m so glad
for it!!
I love yall! Be safe, stay warm and I’ll see yall in 16 days
and counting haha
Love
Elder Kendall Christensen
