Robert vs. The Skunk


The Elders' muddy truck, inside and out.



Ya'aat'eh!!!
 
   So transfers were this week but Elder Dobson and I are staying here in Cortez, Colorado and are still over 3rd and 4th wards.  It will be strange to go somewhere else sometime and not have 6 and a half hours of church every sunday.  Im doin just dandy, Colorado is awesome.  Had 6 investigators come to church this last week so that was good.  
 
There will be 3 baptisms this saturday, Relanda @ 11 am....Ryan and Andrew Medina @5pm    should be way sweet. Elder Dobson will be baptizing Relanda and the boys Grandpa will be baptizing them.  Kailen Carlson, the other boy will not be getting baptized this week....we talked to his mother and she said that she doesnt want kailen being baptized just because Ryan and Andrew are....valid point.  So we agreed to come over and talk and teach kailen and his mother this week and hopefully their hearts will soften.  I think once Kailen sees his best buds get baptized this week then he will want to as well.  We havent gotten to talk to Colby this entire w time last week he has had family in town and apprently he doesnt want us over. I hope everything is allright with him. 
 
ah yes, Alma 40:11 says that no matter how good or bad we are on this earth then we will be saved because Christs grace is sufficient for EVERYONE to return and live with God.  BUT! as in Mormon 9...if we do things that we know that we shouldn't on this earth and don't repent of it....as in Mormon 9 it says" you would be more miserable to dwell in the presence of God then you would to dwell with the damned souls of hell." so basically, with knowing the things that you've done on this earth would you feel comfortable in the Presence of God and Jesus Christ???  When we sin WE are leaving God, God is NOT leaving us.  Cool concept that kinda blows people away when they hear it.  Its something to ponder.
 
The animal of the week is.....Monsieur Pepe Le Pieu!  AKA.....Skunk.  They are everywhere!!!!  and on our way to email this morning we hit one, and now Zelda (our truck) smells of skunkness. Its great, not really. 
 
I don't have much to say this week, we have been going up to Dolores and tracting up there...oh funny story, so Elder Dobson and I go up to Dolores to find a referral its about 7:30pm so its really dark.  Anyways, we found the referral but then we decided to knock a few doors before we head back home.  So around here lots of people have homes with glass doors, or HUGE glass windows and such it must be a colorado thing.  So I walk up to this house and of course the door is very large and is made of glass, I see a man in there standing in the middle of the room holding a cup of something just drinkin and watching tv...well usually we just knock.  But for some reason my finger went for the doorbell....and it was a LOUD doorbell.  Right when I pressed it the guy got scared out of his pants and spilled whatever was in his cup all over himself, so i'm holding it in trying not to bust out laughing and the guy comes to the door, opens it up and right when I opened my mouth he yelled "not interested!!!" and slammed his majestic door in my face.  THEN I couldn't hold it in anymore, we laughed for a long time, it was hilarious.
 
That's all for this week!  -Elder Christensen
