Buenas,
I hope everyone is doing well back at home. Got
the email and press release from Dad about the College Board, and congrats!!
This past week was super good, man I learned so much! This past Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday we had meetings all day long with Presidente Maluenda,
and they were amazing!! He talked a lot about obedience, becoming leaders the
way the Lord wants us to be, faith, the power of prayer, goals and plans, doing
things in the Lord's way, the desires of our hearts, and a lot of other stuff,
and it was a spiritual feast for all three days! It was also a lot of fun
because I got to see a lot of my buddies from around the mission – all the
elders in Corpus and Laredo and Brownsville/Harlingen stayed in the McAllen
area so it was a blast!
We also found a lot of people to teach this week
and we found a lot of families, too! And because of that we had a lot of
investigadores (“investigators”) at
church yesterday so that made it more fun, too. Oh, it has also been FREEZING
cold, oh my gosh, it was 55 the other day and it's 50 today and I'm wearing
literally all of the winter clothes that I have, haha, I'm such a baby now when
it comes to cold weather. Oh, and we got even better news too...we have mission
tour this week!!!!! That's when a general authority comes in and we have
meetings with him so he can teach and train us some more! The person coming in
is Elder Bradley D. Foster, so I am really excited for that, too!
The mission is going really well and it is still
such a blast – it never gets old, I love every minute of it and it just takes
my breath away when I think about all the important things and lessons that I
am learning out here. There is no other way I would have learned these things
had I not decided to serve a mission. It's also incredibly scary how fast the
time is going, but that's another story. There is nowhere in the whole world I
would rather been than here in South Texas. Oh, ok so I’m telling you this and
please, please don't get worried or anything, everything is fine and under control
and I'm100% healthy – but in your prayers this week, specifically pray that my
feet can get better. I got a blister or something like that for the first
time in my life, and it's just taking a while to heal up. So, yea, please say special
prayers for my feet, haha. I love y’all a ton!!
Con amor (“with
love”),
Elder Christiansen
