Buenas,
Man, what a week it was this past week, I don't
even know where to begin. There was a family that was going to get baptized by some of the elders in my district so I went over to their house (the
family's) on an exchange to do the baptismal interviews, and everything that
could have gone wrong, went wrong. It was just one of those nights I guess. I'm
not going to go too far into it, but it was just a mess. The boyfriend of the mom
of the family they were teaching never wanted to listen to the elders, and then
when I was there he ran out and just started yelling at us telling us to leave.
It got pretty intense and since I was on an exchange with a younger elder, I
started talking to the boyfriend and it was pretty intense, haha, like he was
not happy at all. And then he called someone else and he gives me his phone and
the person on the line was yelling at me saying that she's calling the cops and
a bunch of other stuff and that she hates us and to never come back, it was
pretty crazy. But after my right-handed haymaker nailed his left eye he stopped
talking to us and went inside (haha, no, no, no, I’m totally kidding, obviously I
didn't hit him, I would never do that,
haha). But it was pretty chaotic though. And then I went back over to a different
house looking for the family Sunday morning to see if they were coming to
church, and while I was talking to the mom, one of her sisters came
out and just went off and was yelling at us, too, so it was a "Yell at
Elder Christiansen" type of week. It was all good though, it really helped
me learn to have a good attitude and to have charity towards all of Heavenly Father's
children.
Life is so, so good though and I love being a
full-time missionary. I am also super excited because we're having 3-day training
again (it's 3 days in a row of Presidente training and helping all of the zone
and district leaders in the mission so we can in turn train the missionaries we are
in charge of). It should be super fun though, because I loved the last one. I
love y’all so much!
I love y’all,
Elder Christiansen
