Our week was full of set-backs. By which I mean, people
literally setting their appointments with us back until next week. Which
is fine, because it gave us that much more time this week! Yesterday we
had a really great little chat with our bishop about some of the
recently baptized members in the ward who have ceased coming to church,
and our quest this week is going to be getting in touch with as many of
them as possible.
My zone leader goes home in a week, and wants to
Profiter du temps qui lui rest ici, so I don't really have a bunch of
time today. But! I wanted to share with you the highlight of our week.
Colombia. All of our favorite investigators are from Colombia. First of
all, Louis. A 17 year old from Colombia, who came to church this week.
What a guy. I will quote him for you "Wow, you guys have a lot of cute
girls here" "Yeah we do Louis. You should come more often." Ah, the mind
of a 17 year old male. ; ) Fortunately, our lessons preceeding this
statement have given us good cause to believe that he is in fact
interested in learning about our church, and not only the young women of
our church. Either way, he's really cool young man, with a lot of
really good questions. We have high hopes for Louis.
Next, Andrea and Juan-carlos. A young Colombian
family who we knocked into on Wednesday. They invited us back over to
see them again two days later, and they invited themselves to church,
and to read and pray about the Book of Mormon. They're an amazing
family, newly-wed, and newly arrived. They've only been in Canada for a
couple months, which is why they haven't found a church to go to yet.
Andrea told us she thinks God sent us as a response to their prayers. We
love them. :) Those lessons are the best, because Juan-carlos speaks a
lot of English, but no french, and Andrea speaks a lot of French, but no
English. We repeat ourselves a lot, but never in the same language.
Finally, Joanna. A younger Colombian woman that
Elder Williams found two months ago, and who we've been playing phone
tag with ever since. We finally got a good solid chat with her, and
found out that she's already read a lot in the Book of Mormon, and she
has some questions to ask us about it. We have a lesson with her
tonight. Pray for us eh?
En Bref, Colombia is one my new favorite countries. :)
Alright,
that'll be it for me this week. January is one of the busiest months as
a missionary, because everyone that couldn't meet with you during the
Holidays, now has time. So, I'm sorry in advance if my e-mails shrink a
bit for the next couple of weeks.
I love you all!
Love,
Elder Christensen
