Week 19

Jan. 18, 2016

 

Dear Family and Friends -

 

This week had its ups and downs.

 To start the week I got sick so I got to stay in the house for 5 days. Friday I was feeling better but Elder Pulsipher got sick as well. A lot worse than me. He got bit by some bug and it gave him something. We stayed in together and listened to talks and i read the bible and book of Mormon. I learned a lot reading the bible this week. There is great stuff in there about Jesus Christ's Ministry. I really wanted to figure out how I could become more like him because I’m doing his work!

 I listened to a talk this week called Teaching by the spirit. It was 1 1/2 hours long. I was super great! I was glad I listened to that because Zone Meeting was this week and it got pushed back to Saturday so hopefully Elder Pulsipher would of been better. He didn't so Elder Gordon called President Brown and he said I would be helping teach Zone Meeting. I found that out Friday Night at 9pm. So Saturday I woke up at 5:15 to prepare for what I was going to talk about which was Our Purpose lessons when we first meet with an investigator. so I read the whole section and I looked up some scriptures and then I had faith that when I had to go present the message that the spirit would guide me what to say and that I would remember the scriptures I studied. It worked! It was a great discussion and the spirit was there and we all learned something!

 After Zone Meeting we went to Jennys which is a nice Cook Shop. When I was there Bro. Cardoaza saw me from outside and came in and said I would be Teaching in Elders Quorum. I looked at Elder Gordon (the other Zone Leader) and we just laughed. I guess the Lord is trying to teach me something this week. So I read over the Lesson and we had a great lesson! I love being able to teach. Teaching by the spirit is the best way to teach because the lord knows what the people need to hear and he will put the words in your mouth of what you need to say to help them. I'm so grateful for all that the lord has done for me! I love Jamaica and have some of the greatest Missionaries around me! Keep up the faith!

 

Nuff Love, Elder Christensen
