Week 45 Montego Bay

Week 45  07-18-2016   

Dear Family and Friends, 

This week was super great!

I'm in Montego Bay! Oh my word it is beautiful here! I hope I get to come back here after I'm done with being in Freeport! The people here are so friendly! Always willing to talk to us! So many guys that will talk to us as well! Way cool! Our teaching pool has nuff guys! Usually there are more woman then men but it’s the other way here at church. Not enough women for the men to get married to haha.

At church there are two Rasta's that are members! They are way cool! Never would think i would see a Rasta in the church. They love their weed so much but i guess these two know the real good stuff where you can feel all the vibes you want. Church is that place!!

The hills here are crazy.... Bicycling up a mountain will not be a hobby of mine when I go home haha but got to get the work done!! Love it here in Mobay though!

Today we are going to Pier 1 where they have philly chese stakes :) super excited for that!

Love ya all take care until next week! :)

Nuff Love,

Elder Christensen

Week 44  07-11-2016   

Dear Family and Friends,

This week was full of Surprises!

I'm getting transferred to Freeport Bahamas! I get to fly again! I'm super excited but I’m going to miss Jamaica! I'm going to be the only missionary with my companion on the island of  Freeport. It will be super cool though. I'm going to Montego Bay for 2 weeks waiting on paper work. I'll pretty much be white washing an island too! Start from scratch!

This week was full of goodbyes. Janiqua is sad I’m leaving she said she wanted me to baptize her. She should be baptized soon! She knows it is true just has to act! Action is key to everything. You can't believe in something and not act. You can't believe he candy is good and not taste it how will you know if it is good or not. Jamaican Candy is nice!

Marica hasn't smoked weed in two days I’m so happy for her! She is doing great!

I'll send nuff pictures in the Bahamas! I'm excited for a next journey!

Nuff Love,
Elder Christensen

Week 43 Kingston

Week 43  07-04-2016   

Dear Family and Friends, 

Hello Everybody!  What a spiritual week this week!! There was a baptism in our ward and we had 4 investigators at church!

This week we were super busy with missionary work and other work. The office Elders called us and said that they needed our help for a day. Oh bless those elders souls. Sitting in so many lines and doing so much work. I'm grateful for the work I’ve done out here.

We had some good lessons with Marcia and her family. We talked to her about her w

eed addiction. She has told us multiple times she wants to quit and we are teaching repentance and work of wisdom! It has been great! Pray for her she needs the help. Her sons are Rasta’s! They are cool but nuff spliffs around the Yard! She came to church on Sunday as well with her 2 children! Was awesome to see them there! Love the church!

Janiqua is doing really well! She came to the baptism the sister missionaries had on Sunday! She really liked it and she said in the lesson Sunday night that I said something that made her think. I told here you better get baptized sooner or later can't be waiting a year so she said she is not starting to think about being baptized :) She saw how happy Brother Watt was after he was baptized and she felt the spirit super strong! When brother Watt gave his testimony in church the sacrament hall was on fire with the spirit! Holy cow people were tearing up. All the missionaries were the mission president and some members! 1 person can make a huge difference in the ward! Man it was so awesome!!

I love being a missionary! I wish i could have you fallow Elder Kolomalu and I for a day and just see how much joy the work brings to our lives and others. Nothing makes us happier than when someone wants to learn more or wants to be baptized. I know that this work is our Fathers work and he loves all of his children. I know that the prophet is the mouthpiece of god and that missions are so important in live. This gospel is true and this church is true!!

Nuff Love!  Elder Christensen

Week 42

Week 42  06-27-2016   

Dear Family and Friends, 

This week was a great week!! We had lots of things happen!

First we finished the Plan of Salvation with Marcia and her Family! At the end we extended them a baptism date of the 29th of July. They were all excited and said that they want to work for that day! I'm super excited for them! Marcia still has a little weed problem but that will fix soon! Got to love the Atonement!

Second we saw the Whyte Family! Trevor and Suezann got engaged!! On Wednesday it was her birthday and Trevor showed up to work and gave her the ring!! The lesson we had with them last week we read 4 Nephi where it talks about they were married and blessed. Trevor said he wanted to be blessed so he thinks they should get married. He will be the first one in his family to get married so it was a big step for him.

We also got to go on a trade off with the Zone leaders this week. I got to be with Elder Anderson. It was a great day we saw a family 3 times during the day haha it was weird just going to their house 3 different times but it worked. For lunch we went to the Pegasus hotel where it was an all you can eat place. Elder Anderson paid for us haha it was a great meal.

I know this church is true. Jesus Christ does live and loves all of his children. I'm so grateful that we can all share this message with our friends and family and strangers. I love being apart of a work that will help me see my brother and sisters again in heaven. Love you all!!   Nuff Love,
