Big changes are happening for my last full transfer as a missionary among the Lamanites. I am going to Red Lake, Arizona. I will be living in Tuba City but we cover the little town of Red Lake and Tuba City 2nd ward. I was pretty dang pumped to go back in that area. I will be in the best stake and with the best stake president in the mission. I am in the same district as Hopi and I plan on going on exchanges for a couple of days back to hopiland! I am very happy right now. Back to the area I know the best and have already spent like 8 months so this is like going home. I have tried to prep Elder Dunn for taking over White Mesa. I think he will do just fine, that kid has a ton of energy and has been a pain sometimes to keep us busy without him going crazy. I needed it though in white mesa or else I would have had some struggles.
My companion is Elder Lake. Elder Lake in Red lake...yep. I will be living in a double wide trailer so I can actually move around again!!! Frreedddoomm!! And I can take a shower more then once a week again! Victory! So ya you can tell I am pretty excited. I know this last full transfer will go by in a blur. I have very bittersweet feelings on ending the mission to be honest but I think thats how your supposed to feel.
My last night in White Mesa working in White Mesa we had dinner and a lesson with an investigator family. I read with them one of m favorite chapters in the Book of Mormon and we just talked and compared traditional viewpoints with the church. They are huge rodeo people and one of the girls is ranked 2nd in the world for barrel racing. Pretty cool. They all shed some tears and I know the Spirit touched their hearts so hopefully sometime they will all get dunked. The baptism for the other guy we are teaching will be this friday so that sucks I won tbe there but I feel good that at least I helped him get ready a bit.
I will be riding the transfer van (shan'diin) -thats her name...all day. Not to excited but whatever. Well thats about all she wrote folks! I will be loving my time back around my Hopi people.
Love Elder Christensen
