Life in a dinky little RV sure puts things into perspective on what you do and don't need in a home. One of the fun things about being in an RV on a reservation is that there is no such thing as "Hot" water for showers. If I stood in the tub then my head would hit the ceiling, so my morning shower consists of me putting some soap in my hair and watering my face with ice water and if I am feeling brave I will jump in for like 30 seconds and just take it. Things have been going up and down this week and I was sure in need of general conference for some time to just relax for a minute and listen. All the speakers were great and I love how bold they are now. Also I am pretty convinced that by their testimonies and the look in the eyes of the 12 apostles....they have seen Christ. My favorites of course was Elder Holland and surprisingly President Eyring and Elder Scott. Elder Packer sounded like he was giving his last testimony type of talk. He for sure will be warmly welcomed on the other side of the veil whenever he goes. We had 3 investigators watch conference with us and they seemed to really enjoy it. 3 of our 5 baptism dates are doing fine. The Silas family...not so much....so frustrating to be working with these people since October and they just cant seem to kick the bottle no matter how much we talk to them. They know its wrong and evil but they cant stop. Plus we just got a call last night that 2 of their grandkids (clan relation wise) died last night....they were my age...guess what killed them....that stupid satanic drink. I hate it. I don't need to give you details on that but it sounds like we will be spending a lot of time today helping with that and getting wood for funeral stuff. We need to step up our game out here. These people need help.
I cant remember if I have already said this or not...but the "honoqoyas" or drunk people and those don't like us have given Elder Johnson and I a nickname. I am Buddy Holly and Elder J is Jimi Hendrix. Also people call us cornboys because when people pick corn they put on white shirts...funny stuff. We are getting 11 copies of the Book of Mormon giving to us this Thursday so hopefully we can do some damage out here. We need to find some New Investigators. Im loving it with Elder Johnson we are great friends. I am sorry that I don't answer questions very good..sometimes I am to lazy to go back and look what the questions were that you asked again. I love this place and I never want to leave no matter how much junk goes on. Every time I think I am ready to leave then I get this feeling like...I cant. It will come though probably this May. Hope everything goes well with Britt's delivery. I guess this family does need another girl somewhere. She will love baseball and guns though.
Love Elder Christensen
