So it was a pretty good week once
again! Some spiritual things happened as well as some random things.
We went on a temple tour with two people who are whats called "On fire."
One of them was less active and recently is returning to the church. He is
pretty awesome. He read the whole June Ensign the first day he got it haha. It
has been really cool to be able to witness his progression. The other person was
our investigator. She is reading the Book of Mormon, Gospel Principles, Daughter
of the Kingdom? (the relief society book), and some other church book haha. She
had prayers answered this week and told us all about them. She also says that
she is just feeling so much peace. Her friends offered her some alcohol and she
refused it. She is REALLY AWESOME! And she loves church and is telling everyone
about her baptism. It is on the 16th. Transfers however are next Tuesday, so I
would love to see, but we will see what the Lord wants I guess haha. Also this
week we got to give several blessings and also I did my first blessing on a home
which was pretty cool. Last night we visited some older less active people and
they just love talking those old people! But it made their days, so that was
nice to see. I am getting better and better at listening, well at least in
lessons haha. But I have realized the power in just listening to others and
giving them your full attention.
Some random stuff that happened this week: We went over to a single
mother's house and she is scared of frogs and she had one on her back porch. So
she asked us if we would capture it for us. She asked me if I was scared of
frogs, I said "yes", and she asked my companion if he was scared, he said "no".
So as we were walking around to the back of her house, he told me he
really was scared of frogs and he just wanted to act manly haha. So we looked
for it for a couple minutes and we finally slid open their sliding glass door
and it hopped out onto the glass. So I had them get me a broom and my companion
had a plastic bag. We can see who the smarter one is haha jk. So I'm trying to
sweep off the frog from the glass door and my companion is holding the plastic
bag. The members were watching us from the other side and as I was doing it, the
frog jumped off the glass onto my companion's arm. Everybody jumped, especially
him haha. And he screamed too I think haha. Super funny.
And then the other day I was biking down a hill going pretty fast, and I
saw something a little in front of me in my path, and when I got closer I
realized it was an albino snake. Super disgusting, so I didn't want to run over
it, so at the last minute I swerved and missed it. I was super scared it was
going to try and bite my leg haha, so I kind of screamed as I swerved around it
also. But all was well. My companion looked at it and thought it was dead, but
it wasn't too thick, but it was like 6 feet long!
Well that's all I really got time for. It has been raining like crazy. You
are either drenched by rain or sweat. I prefer the rain. Today President told us
we aren't biking enough. Sweet....... Haha so it looks like we are in for a lot
of fun this summer!
Love you all and miss you. Thank you for your prayers!
Love,
Elder Christiansen!
