Elder Mitchell Christensen: Week 16

Dec. 28, 2015

Dear Family and Friends,

This week was super fun! We had our Mission Christmas Party with the Kingston Zone and i Got to Skype my Family!! Those were some of the best parts of the week! Besides the great lessons we are having!

The Christmas party was fun! Lots of missionaries sang and played instruments. We had a great dinner!! We had Rice and Peas and chicken, more rice and fruit cake! They had a really good drink called Sorrel. They put some ginger in the drink so it burns your throat when you drink it! It is a good burn though! haha.

Skype was awesome! It was so great to see my Family for 40 Minutes. It was short but every minute was awesome! The work here is going good. Dwayne and Yaneek are having some in-law problems. Jamaicans and their families i swear. Every time someone is going to get baptized something crazy happens with distant family. We need to be nice to everybody and love each other. Dwayne and Yaneek's baptism date got pushed back another week. I know they can get over this though! I love the lord he is my savior!

On Christmas day Elder Pulsipher woke us up with some lovely Christmas music! We opened our presents and then made an amazing breakfast! We had French toast, muffins, hash browns and sorrel. We got some Egg Nog too!! I don't like egg nog here. there was chunks of egg. It was gross. Probably won’t drink egg nog until i get back to the states.

Keep reading the scriptures i love spending 2 hours in the morning studying! Elder Bischoff is such a great teacher. I've learned a lot from this humble elder. Idaho Missionaries sure do work hard! He’s the second one from Idaho!!

I love my savior and the atonement! I'm grateful to be able to see it work in people’s lives. Some choose to use it and others are too stubborn to try and test it if it really works! I love this work and the people here in Jamaica!!

Nuff Love,
