Ya'ah'teh!!
I am emailing from Farmington this week. My district leader has
a docotrs appointment and they don't have a vehicle, so we gave them a
ride down. Also its Presidents day so ALL of the libraries and places
that have a computer are closed. We gave up the idea of emailing today
and would just do it tomrrow, so we decided to go get some KFC!! There
are tons of members down here so the owner of KFC gives ALL missionaries
50% off. oh ya livin the life. It was deelish. But then we saw a
Navajo trading post across the street and we are like well lets just go
over there and check it out. What do you know! There are 4 other
missionaries emailing here on the owners computers. We were guided
towards the right place haha. I will lay down some thigns that are gon
on so i dont forget.
I ordered a couple nametags in Navajo so now I can feel better
about myself haha. Also we are getting some turquoise buttons on our
nametag clips so ya, no big deal. Some cool facts about the New Mexico
Farmington mission...We have the largest fleet of vehicles in the
world! Pretty much every single companionship has a truck except 4
areas. We are the only mission with Navajo, Apache, Ute, Zuni, Pueblo,
and Hopii reservations in it. I'm excited to be here. Oh ya! Mom, Dad, I
know I've been asking you to send stuff a lot and I don't mean to be
needy. But the other day....I don't know if its my craving for
French/Russian/German or I'm being told to study up on those languages so
it would be awesome if I could get a copy of Francais, rooski, and
Deutsch Books of Mormons pour moi s'il vous plait. I'm missing my
languages.
Okay now for some actual mission stuffs...This week was pretty slow
with valentines day and everything. NObody really wanted to talk with
us and people have their plans and whatnot. So since NOBODY has really
wanted much to do with us tihis week, we bought a chess board and have
been playing everynight when we get back. So far the record is 7-3
me. Elder Dobson is determined to beat me, but im not going to let up.
Remember how I said we would have 11 people on date for baptism this
week?? Well we got close...we have 9. So we committed 4 more, its
awesome to see poeples lives change for the better. We would have had
11 but when we asked them, it was a young couple that have been
investigating the church for awhile. The wife said yes!! I want to
start paying tithing and everything RIGHT NOW!! but then her husband
gave a uhhhh....not yet, I don't think so. Hopefully his wife will talk
with him.
We aren't sure when the big Samoan banquet thing is, still dont have
a date yet. Elder Dobson and I gave talks yesterday in sacrament
meeting. We talked on the plan of salvation! It was way good and we
had 8!! investigators come to church also so it was a grand day. Oh i
forgot to mention that I actually cover 2 wards, the Cortez 3rd and 4th
wards. So on Sundays we get there at 7:30 for PEC, and we don't get out
of church til 2pm! Hooray for 6 and a half hours of church!!! Ryan,
Andrew, and Kailen all came to church with their mothers yesterday so I
think they are doing great. Kaliens mom is sort of interested so we will
be stopping by their house sometime and probably reading scriptures and
stuff with Kailen. Colbys family is all sick so they weren't able to
come to church yesterday dangit....we pretty much prepared our talks
just for him. Try again next week. Hopefully this week we will have
a lot more lessons and things to teach but last week was pretty slow. We
haven't taught Leroys wife yet, it didn't happen so maybe this week.
That situation is kind of sketchy....We will be teaching Marcia, which
is the Micklesons friend tomorrow. Once her friends heard that she was
gonna talk to them dang mormons then they brought out a bunch of
anti-mormon stuff. But Travis Mickleson told her that if she wanted to
know about the church then talk to actual LDS people..not listen to made
up dvds and things. So we will be prepared for anything! bring it
on!! hopefully we will answer all her questions and things. Oh ya, my 2
new favorite scriptures....I call them my bring it on scriptures...I
shared this during my talk yesterday. More scriptures will be added.
But right now its 2 Timothy 2:3....2 Corinthians 12: 9-10...and D&C
122. Fun stuff. I kinda like giving talks! wait I didn't say that....i
hate giving talks. Well hopefully I will be able to share some more
interesting stories and whatnot next week. We almost slammed into
another deer this week though, stupid animal was just sitting in the
middle of the road, didn't even budge. Lets go TOWARDS the loud noise
and bright lights coming really fast. The other deer were probably off
in the distance laughing, I'm sure they told that deer that in order to
join their herd then he had to get smacked by a truck. We barely dodged
it yet once again.
Well I will have better things to talk about next time! -Elder Christensen
Ayo anishnii! Agonet Shi'kis!
