They are not here, for they have risen....and we ate them all gone.
Yes i am talking about pancakes. Me and elder morrison made them one
time and they were flat as crepes. i dont know what happened but this
time they were as fluffy as could be. Haha i think its funny. my comp
doesnt cuz in the spanish bible it says that jesus is resurrected, not
risen. Lame.
Tons happened this week. We ll start with oscar. yes, we got the
little squirt baptized and confirmed. Friday was NUTS. we showed up to
the church at 12 to fill up the font. it takes a while. We couldnt get
it working. in the next four hours, we had members in and out of
there, numerous amounts of phone calls, and much stress....but still,
it was not working. Nobody could figure it out....and well everyone
just tried the same thing over and over again and wouldnt believe us
when we said it didnt work the first time. At four, our ward
missionary and her son passed by the church. i stopped them and told
them we were gonna have to move it to the other chapel in minas. she
yes, oh yes of course, cuz my son already told me that the water
heater has been BROKEN for weeks. WHY DIDNT ANYONE TELL SOMETHING IT
WAS BROKEN!!! ugh. our phone bill is gonna be tremendous this month
cuz we had to call every member that it changed. but we did baptize
him at seven. the service went good and than we were heading to the
water. another missionary was asking me a question to make sure oscar
had everything, i dont remember the question. Than someone pointed
out, You shouldnt let him go in first. What. we started walking in and
FELL. dont worry, he fell into the water and was fine. i hurried in
after him and almost fell too lol. but he was fine, even tho EVERY
member for the next three days tried to drop cane on me about it......
That was quite a stressful day and we got attempts of the cane drop
like three hundred times. The last person to try to fix it was hno
benitez, who everyone told me would know how to fix it. He couldnt and
left at four. he turned to me and said, Elder, when there is a
problem, you shouldnt wait til the last minute before you call
someone. My comp almost had to hold me back from getting in a fight
with a sixty year old man. He continued, did you even call the DOM.
Yes what do you think we have been doing today! WE CALLED EVERY PERSON
IN THIS WARD. ok, i did not scream it, but i wanted to.
Something nice and unexpected tho, after the baptism, me and oscar
were changing. and it was COLD. we were both freezing. i asked how he
felt. he totally surprised me and just said one word....Purity.
hahahaha what a cute kid. i love the little guy. he was confirmed
yesterday. i love my job.
Marisol, the old lady who said i have a precious smile, is doing
great. before, she had to stop smoking. I was all for, drop it now!
give us all your cigerettes!!!! but my comp was more for little by
little. which i hate cuz the means NOTHING. there is little progress
over a big time span. it should be called, little by huge....or a
little useless. But than we had a killer charla with a member. We had
tons of good ideas and dropped the cane with lots of love. We came
back a couple days later and honestly, was not suspecting much.
Probably like, oh ya, i am down to four a day. like usually. She
surprised me and the district leader and has stopped completely! the
spirit was so strong and we set the fecha with her. we had planned for
the seventeenth or the twenty fifth, but we set for the tenth!!! this
friday. she is super super excited and we promised her if she doesnt
smoke again, we ll baptize her.
She is super excited. and she loves me. i make her laugh so much. We
were talking that the water heater was broken and she said, doesnt
matter, baptize me in the cold. I said ok, if cold you want, we ll get
it cold. How much does ice cost around here. she would object, but i
continued on my rant. she just kept laughing. we came to the final
decision of ice cream in the font...maybe a cherry. i dont know how we
always start talking about crazy things, but she loves me.
i think that is all from this week. it is cold here but not too bad. i
love playing with fire. spanish is sweet, and all the kids in this
barrio think i am a mage. Sweet
Love you all,
Love Elder Christensen
