This week went by so fast, im really not even sure what happened.
But i will tell you a story.
Saturday was an awful day. The elders from the branch next to us has a baptism this week, so we had to give the hermana an interview on saturday. We knew it was coming,a nd they knew it was coming, and we constantly hounded them for the time that it would be at, because we had a ton of citas that day, and they always told us that they had to check with the hermana. Well saturday rolled around, and we planned our day, and just pretty much gave up hope on giving the interview and didnt plan on it. After lunch, we got a call from the elders that we had the interview right then. Thanks. So we went.
We had to walk to their area, and we got to the intersection where we planned on going, and long story short, they werent there, and we called them, and they were lost, and we were lost, and then 4 hours passed by. And then we both finally learned where we were at, and agreed to meet at a certain location. and then 2 more hours passed by. and they were 15 blocks away, as it turns out, so we had to walk way over to them, and it started raining, and we didnt have umbrellas, and i was freaking out, and some guy was playing basketball, and then ran off the court and started yelling at us, and it was awful, and then we finally found the elders and went to this hermanas house to interview her. by this time it was 730, and the whole day was wassted i felt like.
Well this girl was 12, and i was kind of unsure of how the interview was going to turn out. But as it just so happens, a few months ago, she had a dream that a latino and an american found her and baptized her. then a week after that, she met the missioinaries, and has gone to church every week since then. She has recieved many answers to her prayers and her neighbor is a member and goes with her every week. She was the most prepared knowledgeable 12 year old girl i have ever met. It was awesome to hear her give her testimony. And to end it off, we started talking about our favorite Book of Mormon stories. it was nuts.
Well by the time we got back to our area, it was 8 45, and we needed to go back to our pension within 15 to 45 minutes. I was just pplannin on eating an ice cream to soothe my pains of a very frustrating day, but i just decided to go to the family that we skyped at´s house. Theyre all members except for the dad.
We went, and the dad has a really good relationship with us, and 3 months ago, he hated themissionaries. Wouldnt even look at Elder Hawk. Hated the missionaries. Well we were talking for a little, and then we just watched the 5 minute video of Elder Holland giving his testimony of the Book of Mormon. And it was way spiritual.
Then he told us he had started reading the Book of Mormon.
Hallelujah
have a great day
Elder Christensen
