We had another great week! Tuesday night we had a lesson with our baptismal date Paul Abendroth. We taught him the main commandments that he needs to be following for baptism. Word of Wisdom, Law of Chastity, Tithing and Fast Offering and other ones. He said that he would follow all of them and keep them! He's getting baptized this saturday and we are so excited!
Wednesday we had Interviews with President Durrant and that was awesome! I love being able to see president.. sometimes i feel scared though cause i know hes the boss and i dont want to do anything stupid when he is around. well Elder Hedberg President that i write letters on other days besides mondays and so president talked to me about that and that irritated me a little.. so i was kind of mad at my companion that day and then he got mad at me cause i said i would be ready in 10 minutes when my hour lunch was finished so we were pretty much both mad at eachother and so i told him that we needed to resolve this concern and so we sat down and worked stuff out. There is no point in going out teaching if the spirit is not in our companionship.
On Thursday i went on an exchange with my Zone Leader Elder Mcomber. The reason for our exchange was so he could interview Paul.. well Pauls interview that night was super long. i think it was probably like 45 minutes long! After the interview we sat down and taught paul a few more commandments.. After we left Elder Mcomber said that we need to stay on Paul because during the interview when he was asking him if he is willing to obey the Word of Wisdom he said yeah.. i am not drinking caffeine and i even got decaf tea! Apparently when we taught him the word of wisdom he figured it was the caffeine that was bad not the tea.. even when we told him that drinking soda was not part of the word of wisdom. So Elder Mcomber told him that he needed to give him the tea and paul said that he bought a new gallon that day.. so Elder Mcomber made him promise to give the tea to his dad! Paul is very dedicated and i know he will be ready by Saturday!
The rest of the week went pretty good but nothing too exciting.. we had an investigator drop us but thats missionary work! But on Sunday Elder Hedberg and I had to give talks in the Whitehouse Ward and right when i stood up to give my talk.. this is what i said: "Good morning Brothers and Sisters. My name is Elder Christensen.. I have been serving for 10 months and I am from Boise Idaho.. Go Broncos"! hahaha.. then i said "i think i have set the record for the most times a missionary has spoken in this ward in 6 months.. this is my third! everyone was laughing:)! My talk was on how Prospective Missionaries prepare to serve full time missions. I felt like it went pretty good.. A member after told me that she needs to get that information from me because she has a son leaving on his mission soon!
