Elder Mitchell Christensen: Week 53 - One Year Mark

Week 53 – 9/12/2016

Dear Family and Friends -

This week was an awesome week! Full of a lot of things to do!

I was with Elder Johnson and Perkins for 2 days this week while the Zone leaders went to Ochi and Kingston for Trade Off's! It was nice to be with them seeing some of the people I taught with them. We saw Richard. He is doing well still! Hasn't read the book of Mormon yet but he is so interested. He doesn't want to put in the work but wants the answer. Too bad god doesn't work that way. If we want an answer we got to act upon our desires. If we want to know if the book or Mormon is true you got to read it and pray just like we are asked to do in Moroni 10:3-5. If we have any question we must pray and do what we need to do to get an answer. It’s simple but we have to have faith!

We went to Lucea this week which is an hour away from Montego Bay. Small little city where a branch use to be. It closed down due to lack of priesthood brothers. We saw Bro. Winters and Sister Spence. They are awesome members. It costs them 1000 dollars each to taxi to church and they don't work. Bless their souls. We are going to do some working up there once a week! Love going around Jamaica!

Yesterday we had a lot of investigators at church. We had 9 but they came late. 2 of the families that come live an hour away from the church so it is so cool to see them at church. Love these families.

During the week we taught Angela 1 Nephi 8. Was fun to draw with them what he kinda saw. I'm not the best of drawers but it was good for a start!

Love Jamaica! The people here are amazing. Love serving the lord! This is his church once again on the earth. I love helping him bring back the sheep into the fold!

Nuff Love! -- Elder Christensen
