This Really is all he Wrote!

9-9-07   Hello.... did you get my pictures? well.... this week has felt like 5 weeks put into one... things have been pretty difficult with my comp. ummmmm I really dont have much to say... I'm sorry this week has just been a struggle .... I love you... hope you have a good week.  Elder Christensen

The following week he explained a little more:  9-17-07  Hello... thanks for all the prayers... prayer is funny...I know how to use it... like I can use a cell phone... but I don't fully understand how it functions... I could feel a difference during the week and I knew that people were praying for me....maybe someday I will be able to understand prayer completely.  Yeah so this week was a bit better. Part of the reason why it has been a struggle with my comp is because it is difficult for us to communicate.... his English is really broken... and he cant explain things to me sometimes.. we both really like each other it just gets really frustrating sometimes.... but things sound good back home... this week someone was supposed to feed us on Sunday but they forgot and none of the missionaries had food.. so they came over to our boarding and I tried to cook up some stuff to keep us going until Sunday... Chicken.. veg.. with this sauce stuff... It was ok... plus it was healthy.  Well I cut my hair today...I have administered over 30 haircuts on mission... to people from 5 different countries... that's pretty cool eh?

Do You Smell Something Burning?

7/30/07  I burnt the bathtub... the bathroom has always been smelling funny so we put a candle in there... we always blow it out but we forgot the one time... we came back and opened the door of our boarding and it was full of dark dark smoke... you could not see a thing... so I ran inside and the plastic tub was on fire... I put it out... and I inhaled alot oh nasty air...I will probably die 5 years early... it was bad... all the walls are stained with smoke and we have to replace the tub... we will probably have to move... everyone has been real nice and positive about the whole thing though.... it was quite the intresting day... I will give you more info when I get home... it was a pretty crazy day....

Reminders of Testimony

2007 ok well this week was pretty good. we prayed about where to tract and we went to this area where we felt prompted and it was just a bunch of old age homes and weird stores and things... and the one normal house there... this lady with a hyperactive child answered the door... and she was like what can this 19 year old kid tell me and she talked about how all churches are just to make money... so I just bore testimony to her and gave her a family proclamation. she called us a day later and told us she wanted to here our message.. and to make this short... we have 2 really good new investigators..
