This week our car was having some problems so we had to take it in for a check up. I bet its because its a ford. fords are horrible cars. in my opinion. Our airbag light was on so we took it to ford and they said that they needed to order a new air bag for the driver side because the driver air bag was faulty. good thing I'm not the driver right? haha. poor elder moses! After going there we had to go to Pep Boys to get new tires, an alignment and an oil change. if we were allowed to work on cars i would have done the oil change haha. but were not. sad day!:( On Wednesday we had a multi district meeting and then we went on an exchange with the Tyler 2&3 Elders. I went with Elder Cardenaz. He is a greenie... we stayed in his area because he needs to start learning Spanish a lot better because his trainer.. Elder LeFevre is getting frustrated with him because he never talks in lessons. so on our exchange they had a lot of lessons set up so i just sat back and let Elder Cardenaz teach in Spanish. It was pretty fun being able to just listen and pick out the very few words i know in Spanish. haha. He did good. i think he learned a lot on that exchange.
Thursday was a pretty busy day for us. We went out to Jacksonville (The Armpit of our area) with Brother Bennett. (his son is Cameron meroney.. my recent convert) brother Bennett is also coming back to church from inactivity and is really loving and feeling the spirit so strongly in his life right now! he bore a powerful testimony at church yesterday and the members were thanking him a ton after sacrament for it... but anyways our day in Jacksonville was pretty successful. we went to look for less actives or people the bishop has no idea who they are. some of the members lived way out in the sticks! we were on some pretty bad dirt roads too! For dinner that night we met up at President Murray's house (2nd counselor in the stake). Oh my heck! his house is a mansion! it is ridiculously huge! He took us out to outback steak house and i ordered a steak:) We had a lesson after dinner with our Top progressing investigators. Kylie and Lexie. They will probably not be baptized this transfer because their mom keeps putting on the breaks and I'm guessing wants more time. oh well! they will definitely be baptized though:)
We went to the Ford dealership early Friday morning and got the airbag fixed. After that we went on another exchange with the Tyler 2&3 Elders and this time i stayed in my area and Elder LeFevre came with me.. We went to Flint to talk to a less active member but he was not home so we went tracting.. We ended up tracting into a guy that we met in Tyler a week prior. That was kind of funny. Well this guy's name is tony and he let us share what we had to offer. He really enjoyed listening to us and we set up a return appointment. He was also drinking and was drunk so hopefully he remembers our appointment haha. We had dinner with Quiroz family that night. A Mexican family in the bullard ward. They made us Tamales and Pozole. ah i love real mexican food! We had a lesson later that night in Chandler with this girl named Brianna Bishop. she apparently was baptized 3 or so years ago but the church has no record of her being baptized and neither does the mission office. so President Durrant said to go ahead and teach her and baptize her again. Well during the lesson i was teaching about Prophets! i was using this analogy. Imagine a really tall wall and we the people are on one side and our Heavenly Father is on the other side.. Can we speak to him? No! but if we have a prophet standing on top of the wall.. He Can speak to Heavenly Father and then the Prophet can tell us what our Heavenly Father wants us to do. Well this family is a little strange.. and this 13 year old girl says.. i have a question? Is this wall made of brick? i was laughing really hard inside. I had to tell her that what i was saying was just an imaginary thing. Bless her Heart! hahahaha. Well for the most part the lesson went pretty good. On the way home i get a call from my companion saying he found Briannas baptism record in the Area book at Tyler 2&3's apartment. i was pretty mad.. but oh well!
On Saturday we were finding more less active members. that's what elder moses likes to do instead of tract. i do as well because tracting is a poor way to find people! Well after leaving a house of this family that wasn't home. This lady across the street yells "hey elders!" so we went over to talk to her. her name is kandie town and apparently she was meeting with the missionaries when she lived in New York.. she said they helped her alot and that she wanted us to come back to teach her and she also wanted to feed us dinner! way cool! Miracles defiantly happen! We left her with a book of Mormon and i said a prayer for her and she was teary eyed after the prayer. I really think this is going to turn out to be very good! Well since yesterday was the super bowl and everybody was going to be very mad at us for bugging them during it. we went to the Wills Point Elders apartment and hung out with them for the rest of the night! it was way fun! we built a fire in their fireplace! reminds me of the good ol' times!
love elder christensen
