Robert vs. Pitbulls





 Amen. this is pretty funny, this church puts up random signs every month







 This is my tag written in Navajo with some turquoise on the button.  way cool, only missionaries in this mission can get that!


 


 those pitbulls were "happy" to see me




ya those tomahawks are all me



Ya'aat'eh!!
 
I met a lady out here that is neighbors with a member in Dolores that is a paramedic.  She told me a lot of interesting stuff!  She even invited me to take part in a practice drill they are doing with the fire department in May. I will be all colored up in fake blood and stuffed in a chopped up car that was burned an hour before and then the people have to come take me out and put me on a helicopter, from there I will be flown to the hospital which is like 2 minutes away.  Should be fun!!!! If I get permission of course.  Last sunday was the first sunday where we didn't have to do anything, it was kinda nice.  Usually every sunday we are either giving talks or teaching a class. 
 
Had some more fun tracting times out in Dolores. We have pretty much knocked on every single door up there. If you guys come pick me up, we are definitely going there and eating at this place called "the Depot."  Anyways....had some more pooch experiences this week.  We were walking up to this house and just out of nowhere I hear this deep growling and so I stop and look around to where its coming from.  There was this huge Oak tree in the yard and in the shade of the tree this big mutt was camo'd with the dirt and grass.  Didn't even see it...well the thing charged us and it didn't have chain or anything on it.  Sooooo....we started to back up pretty fast once we saw it comin at us.  Then I stopped and ran back at it and yelled, the thing stopped dead in its tracks and just sat there growling with a bad attitude.  Then we just walked off.  There was another dog that was playing decoy, this was all on the same street by the way....this dog had its paws over this  little fence and was barkin its head off but it looked like a nice dog and happy to see us.  It was all wagging its tail and looked safe.  We were just walking on the sidewalk next to it and I stuck my hand out to pet its head and then it turned into evil dog.  It had all of its teeth showing and if it wasn't for my cat like reflexes the thing would have had a hold of some of my fingers! so I smacked it on the head.  Fun stuff.  
 
Now this is just me being stupid and seeing how many dogs I can get angry at me.....There was another dog...and guess what kind it was....yep! Pit bull!  it was poking its head over the fence and I walked up to it, it of course started growling and I of course kept getting closer and closer.  Well I was playing 'crocodile hunter' with this pitbull and I got my face within a couple feet of his just staring him down and I started to laugh...that wasn't smart.  The dog jumped off the fence ran away...turned around...and got a running head start straight at me! I thought it was gonna jump the fence, which it easily could have so I backed up a bit and then it jumped and got about half of its body over the fence and his mouth got within about 6 inches of my face.  I wet myself a little bit, that was kinda freaky. I know I'm an idiot. but it was fun! 
 
Well transfers are on April 22nd! this week! oh, other crazy news and I'm serious about this. The flagstaff zone Is being transferred to the Phoeniz Arizona mission. Along with 14 missionaries.....2 zone leaders, 2 sister missionaries, 2 Spanish elders, and 8 others.  Could be anyone!  So I did the math and there is a 26.75% I could be transferred to the Phoenix mission.  Crazy huh! That goes into effect on June 1st!  I don't want to go....I have grown attached to the New Mexico Farmington mission.  We are the only mission in the US that covers 4 states!!! that's awesome! and we have the Navajo Rez!  Cant beat that!   but if I am told to go there I shall with no complaints.


Well that's pretty much all I got for this week!  Don't have anyone really interested in the gospel right now...but guess we just keep trying!  I had a man open up the door in Dolores...on the same street as the dogs...and He kept on waving at us to leave.  We just stood there like we didn't understand until he opened the door, he walked right up to me face to face and I was staring him down because I knew he was gonna yell.  He screamed right in my face "I DONT WANT ANY OF YOUR MORMON GARBAGE!!!"  then he walked back into his house and slammed the door.  I stood there for like 20 seconds wiping the spit off of my face with my tie.  Then I took a pass along card out and put in the door.  I laughed thinking that in the next life that man will come up to me and apologize and I will give him a big hug and then we will laugh about it.  People that do that just make me more driven to teach them, I hope he lets missionaries in some day.  People think we are bad people and are trying to convert everyone, when really....I don't think that's our job at all.  All our job is to spread the message of the restoration of Christs church...the exact same church that was on the earth when Jesus was here before he and after he was crucified.  And then our job is to help people gain faith, I don't care if people become LDS or not, just to help them gain faith and answer questions.  If they find that our church is true and real....(cause it is)...then its their choice whether or not they wish to act upon their heart and hopefully they pray and ask Heavenly Father is this church is true.  I mean if I heard that the EXACT same church that was set up by jesus was still here on the earth....I would want to find out more about it! anyways, that's just my spiel.
 
Agone'! ayo (love), Elder Christensen
