Benny is going to go to New Orleans Louisiana. My prediction
Thanks for the update about all the crops. I really enjoyed all of
that. Good luck on harvests and stuff. I want to ride around in a beet
truck or tractor this beet harvest!
This week has been a little tough because Hermana Bills got
Emergency exchanged out of our area into the other half of the ward
because one of the other hermanas ruined her foot and can't proselyte.
It is just me and Hermana Calle. We are still loving
it and having a blast, but I sure miss Hermana Bills. At least we are
still working in the same ward!
Marco is doing pretty good. He did not pass his third interview
because he smoked the day before. But he is all ready on everything
else. Our district leader had a really wonderful interview with him and
got him all excited all over again to be baptized.
We are still planning his baptism soon, with another interview to come.
He wanted to fast this week for his first time. One YSA, named Daniel
who is his friend told him that they could fast together for his first
time and Marco said yes. He is pretty nervous.
We told him that we would fast with him too and he seemed a little more
comfortable. I know that the Lord will bless him. He is so awesome. I
need to get you guys a picture of this kid. He really is legit. He will
be there soon. We just have to keep having
faith and working with him.
Dora came to church again! She even came with her inactive son too!
She is so sweet. We were in the Gospel principles class with them, and
at the end A mom and son about their same age put their arms around each
of them and showed them where to go for
the third hour. These two members had also been inactive. This is the
work of salvation. I am so impressed by these examples of faith. Hermana
Dora is so sweet. After 23 plus years of being inactive she is coming
back to church. I love to see less active members
in church. I get a real thrill out of it. I think my mission is one of
reactivating members to be honest. Hermana Calle said it
best. They hadn't had less active lessons for months maybe one here and
one there, but not a whole lot. Never more than 3 a week.
Now we have about 7 or 8 every week, but not only that, they are coming
to church. We are working with members to try to find new less active
members. We have found about 4 new ones just this week and from all the
less active members that we have 4 came to
church this week, and some brought their families who have not been
baptized. So in total we had 4 less actives and 4 investigators, but the
other missionaries in the same ward had 8 less actives and 4
investigators. WOW. The ward building was PACKED. The work
is hastening and you can see it in every phase of the work.
Thanks for all the help with the My Family book. I have given about
3 trainings on how to fill out the book and how to put in all the data
online. I always have to show my book. I am the leader of the books in
our zone and usually am asked to come to organizations
in the ward to help them fill out their books. I am so excited to get
back into indexing and doing family history stuff.
I love being a missionary. I am loving this work
Love Hermana Christensen

| A really delicious hamburger that I ate. It is from a place here called "Gringo Loco". It is a Guy from Texas who came to Peru, married a peruvian and opened up an American-style burger stand. It is to die for. He's a convert and the missionaries are frequenters there. |
