Hello family!!
What is up. i curently cannot find the question mark. The computers here usually are spanish with an english key marking on top so its hard to tell where anything is. But ya, this week was good. I am sending a voice thingy i made on my comps mp3, hope it works.
This week, there was a cool story. After changes and all that, my comp was made the district leader. And than, for changes, all the leaders go to Deo and have a big ol meeting. Most people from the mission go, either as a leader or with their comp. So were all ready to leave, the whole zone was gathered in Rocha, there was a minibus outside ready to take us all. I was looking forward to a nice 3 hour ride of studying and than seeing my friends in Malvin. But than, like literally 3 seconds before i stepped into the van, the zone leaders came up to me and said that i was staying. Elder lythgoe was gonna work with me in rocha. It sucked that i couldnt see my district friends, but whatever, another good day to work. The bad thing was, we didnt have any plans at all. So we started working. we walked a ton, tried to find investigators, lots of people are still out of the stinkin town. but ya, all that fun stuff. Than towards the end of the day, i was running out of people to visit. I had thought of every person i had ever met in rocha and we had tried to visit them. I would rack my brain and come up with another person to visit. But it was getting hard! than it was about 8 40 and we had had a HARD day. i was just beat. We were really near the apartment and i was really hoping lythgoe would say, well we only have 20 minutes, lets go back to the house. but instead he said all energetically, we got 20 minutes, lets go up this road. i reluctantly followed. We headed up a street called Artigas. as we were walking up it, i remembered the last person i have ever met here. Just a guy who said we could come back. So we visited him. HE IS OF STRAIGHT UP GOLD! He is the most well prepared guy in the entire world! We got him to church this sunday and he wants to be a part of the church with his girl friend and geez, just the sweetest guy. We walked outta that lesson at 9 15 and i was like, freak! i m not tired anymore and we dont need to sleep! lets just go keep working! it was cool.
Friday, i had my first conferencia de zonas. We went down to Maldanaldo and met with that zone and the president. It was cool and i love listening to presidente cuz he talks so clear and slow. he is from paraguay so he says his ll weird. He makes it sound like a y and it just doesnt sound as good. But i starting randomly talking to an elder. His name is elder buck from nevada. I told him i went to cottonwood and right away he said, did you play lacrosse? weird random question. Turns out his team was really good and killed us...no big surprise. Later at lunch i was talking to another elder, elder beuhner, and he went to olympus. We started talking about sports and guess what he played, lacrosse. Turns out i had played him too. Weird, small mormon world. But ya, thats all that is really happening. I really am excited to bake today lol. I feel a little like greg.........
Love you guys,
Love Elder Christensen
